  My family and I were a little disappointed in the property. This was the first time to use VRBO so I was not sure what to expect. The property is right on the highway so it was noisy and made me nervous to take our dog outside although it is gated. I would not recommend it for families with small children. The property was clean but not especially well maintained. One shower was not useable due to a faulty shower head. The house served our purpose since we needed only night time lodging as we vacationed with family in the area. The owner, Julee, was very nice, helpful and easy to work with.

  Owner response: As you can see, most of the reviews on my Lucerne house are 5 star. So I have really thought long and hard about this review, trying to understand why it had so few stars. I did call the vacationer but she did not clarify her issues. I am most concerned about her comment about poor maintenance. Luckily, I was the next person to stay at the house. And I found some problems. The front of one of the drawers was loose and one of the sink faucets came off in my hand. Problems like this are not okay with me. I know the house was ready to go in the Spring when the first vacationer stayed. I think that over the summer, through wear and tear, some things just wore out. I do not stay at the house during the summer; all of you do. So, please if you find anything not up to snuff, call me or my handiman; We will get things fixed as fast as we can. Both our phone numbers are easily available within written material that you receive. Julee

  Great location, right at the lake! Also loved that you could bring your dog. The home was clean and extremely well stocked with all necessary items. We enjoyed our morning beverage on the screened-in porch while overlooking the lake. Thanks for a great mini-vacation!

  This is a GREAT house, right on the lake. It was stocked with all the ammenities one needs. We had such a good time doing almost nothing all day. Being right on the water gives one such a sense of peace. The beach next door was perfect for little walks with the dogs. We loved the screened in porch and sat there in the evenings as we watched the stars come out. The BBQ was clean and worked! Not something you always find. There are spiders and webs, BUT it is a lake and they help keep the gnat and mosquito populations down. It was also great to have the dock. We rented a kayak from Kayak Adventures right down the street. They delivered and picked it up! Great service and a great price (they gave us a multiday discount). We will be back!

  My family and I along with our two dogs spent a week at this wonderful location. The house was exactly as described on VRBO and was stunningly located. As indicated, it was an very dog friendly property and we had crates, gates, bowls and dog cookies available to us. The yard was fully enclosed and the private beach was a great addition, especially for the dogs who stood there every morning waiting to go swimming! The house itself was extremely clean and very comfortable and it had all the amentities we needed. We rented a boat for the day and used the dock which functioned perfectly. We had such a wonderful time there we are already thinking of going back next year - perfect place to read, swim, hang out and watch amazing sunsets!

  This place was awesome again!! Everyone had a great time. The house is well maintained as well as the grounds. Julee the owner is delightful to communicate with. We couldn't of had a better time than we did here at this house. I will always try to get this rental, hopefully it will be available. I've rented 3 vacation homes on Clearlake and this is the best! I live up here in Lake County, and this house was so comfortable I didn't go to my house at all. Thanks for a fun fun time on our vacation.

  Owner response: It is wonderful to have return clients! I plan to have the house available next year also and I really hope you can stay again. Remember return clients get a 10% discount. It was nice talking with you too. Julee

  Hello - My family and I stayed at Julee's house during Father's day weekend. The house was very accommodating with all of the necessary kitchen supplies, etc. There is tons of outdoor space which is great for the kids to run around and the adults to BBQ and sunbathe. The screened in porch up top was great to sit out in the morning and drink a cup of coffee. We had a little problem with the refrigerator not getting cold when we first arrived and had to make due by getting more bags of ice for the ice chests, but Julee was very apologetic and very understanding. She offered to reimburse us for the extra ice we had to buy, but I declined. Instead I asked to stay another night since we were having so much fun and she did not even hesitate to tell us "Yes. Go right ahead." That really made a lasting impression on all of us and we will definitely be coming back to stay at the Lucerne vacation rental. Thank you Julee for everything and I hope to speak to you soon!

  Had a great time at Clear Lake over the weekend. House was just as advertised; clean, stocked with every amenity that you would need and very comfortable. Fishing was great and the dogs had a blast.

  We arrived to a wonderful clean house. By far the pictures don't do it justice. Excellent views and a large yard fenced in for the dogs to run around at will. Were up for the clearlake oaks catfish derby and caught all our 32, 10+ pound catfish right off the sea wall. The biggest was 18.39 pounds caught by my brother who took 10th place in the derby. This is the best rental we have stayed at in years and we cant wait to get back. I would recommend this to anyone. The only down side was when we had to head home. Thanks Julee

  This house is AWESOME! I was able to just r-e-l-a-x. The owner has thought of everything to make your stay enjoyable and carefree. Not only do you get all the great amenities like comfy beds, an on-site washer and dryer, beautiful views from either a screened in porch or a dock overlooking the lake, but it's well equipped for bringing your canine buddy along too! My dog had his first swimming experience ever right off the beach. He loved this place as much as I did. Can't wait to go back!
