We rented both Clearview 1 and 2 for a family vacation in July 2016. We had a total of 12 adults and 4 teens - plenty of hangout space, the kitchen in Clearview 2 was nicely renovated and the room on the bottom floor was perfect for teens with the bunk beds and pool table. We had an amazing view of the lake and took full advantage of the patios and magnificent view. We rented both houses together - in general Clearview 2 has a more open layout in the living room so we gathered there more. Also, the bedrooms in #2 are larger since they do not have a patio/deck. Lastly, the bottom floor bedroom does not have it's own bathroom like in Clearview #1 so the kids have to share with the 2nd floor bedrooms. We were extremely happy with these rentals - great location, easy access to lake with a drive to the HOA park, and the homes are at the end of a cul-de-sace so super private and no issues with several cars parking. I'm recommending for all families, but be aware that the home has lots of stairs between 3 levels - take into consideration if you have tiny mobile babies or elderly with mobility issues. One more tip for Texans and other visitors: pack a jacket! It's cold in the morning/evening! We are hot in Texas and didn't realize how chilly it gets here - even in July!
