Amazing!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Kiley’s house. We were there for my Dad’s Celebration of Life service—a difficult event—and this house provided a beautiful, warm, and cozy backdrop for our family. We were there in March with chilly temperatures, we want to come back for a summer visit to take full advantage of the lake! Kiley has thought of everything at the house; you will not be disappointed!

Outstanding!

This house is the most equipped, well thought out vacation rental we have visited. There isn’t anything they haven’t thought of as far as amenities go for a large group. The house is incredibly well furnished and allowed us to be together comfortably. The personal touches of having local drinks available didn’t go unnoticed either. So appreciate this house as an option for our family and will absolutely be back!

Absolutely Perfection

Wow! Not only is this property gorgeous, clean and relaxing, there are amenities like being at your own home. If you forgot it, it seemed like they thought of everything and they had you covered! From sunglasses, spices to cell phone cords and top of the line appliances, (Just to name a few!) This was a spot for our out of town family to gather for our Son's Wedding. We couldn't have asked for a nicer place to relax and stay during the commotion of a wedding weekend. Only thing we would have changed was to have had more down time from running around to the wedding venue ect. To have spent more time enjoying this beautiful property.

Beautiful Property

My sisters, close relatives and I want to express how much we enjoyed staying at your home. We especially loved drinking our coffee while sitting on the deck listening to the birds and the water lap up on the shore. Many treasured memories and laughs were shared. We will forever remember our fabulous stay at Clear Lake.

This property was exceptional! Kiley did a superb job of thinking about all the details to help us feel at home. Here are some of the highlights: movie and yoga room, fully appointed and modern kitchen, kitchen table seats 12, large rooms, beautiful view of the lake, sandy beach with paddle boards, lower-level patio, upper deck, etc. Everything a guest could need was there! It was easy to communicate with Kiley. I give our experience an enthusiastic 5 stars!

One of the best vacations ever

We couldn’t have stayed at a better spot. The house was gorgeous, perfectly outfitted on a beautiful lake with our own private beach. The kids played endlessly on the lily pad, the teens loved the stand up paddle boards, and we were able to sit on the beach with a cold drink and enjoy every minute. Perfect.

Can't wait to book again!

We enjoyed our stay in Clear Lake while visiting my grandmother who lives there. Our whole family stayed in the house, which included two 1 year olds and a 4 year old, my parents, and my in-laws. We were blessed with incredible weather for the month of October. It was warm enough for the kids to play on the beach and in the water. The house already had kid toys, books, beach toys, games, etc... This was a pleasant surprise and we're thrilled that we can pack a little lighter on our next visit. We all enjoyed the outdoor space so much! We brought kayaks with us, the water was clear and calm so we adventured over to the little island. In the evenings we sat around the fire pit talking for hours and my daughter loved roasting marshmallows for s'mores. The house is equipped with everything you could need to cook any meal you could think of! The appliances and amenities in the house are top notch, it made cooking meals for the entire family easy and enjoyable! The hosts have thought of every single detail, you are left wanting and wishing for nothing because it's all there! We are already talking about booking again for next year.

What a view

I truly can't say enough about this property and the property manager. Both were top notch! The property is truly set up the exact way our family would want it and it felt like every box/option was checked. Very organized and the lake view was fantastic! We truly wish we would have had warmer weather to be outside more on the amazing patio and soon to be built upper deck! Best part is, we had a wood burning fireplace that was stocked and ready to go. Nothing better than a beverage by the fire looking out the window at the lake! Our family is ready to go back already and we hope we can find a date to do so! Don't miss this opportunity to stay! The downtown is also not far and be sure to check out all the shops, brewery, and distillery. All worth the time! Thank You again for making our surprise birthday party a great memory and also for the surprise cookie from the local shop! Class Act! Cheers to you all!

About the host

Hosted by Kiley

Host profile image
I am a proud Iowan, born and raised! I love to host people in my home for dinners and parties, so hosting guests is an extension of my love of all things hospitality. I've stayed in too many sub-par VRBOs to know what guests really value, and I strive every day to make each and every stay be great!

Why they chose this property

While our specialty is large family gatherings (often multi-generational), we've also hosted plenty of girls' trips and bachelorette parties and even do small weddings. Whether you come to Bayside Beach House with friends or family, it will be an unforgettable experience!

What makes this property unique

Our home features 52-feet of private beach front - including a sprawling sandy beach, which is rare for Clear Lake! Outside, you will enjoy a 36" Blackstone Griddle, Traeger smoker, wood-burning fire-pit, paddle boards, lily pad, and dining al fresco on our patio overlooking the lake.

Inside, there's is plenty of space for everyone! Enjoy 5 spacious, designer bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, a large kitchen stocked with about everything you could think of, wood-burning fireplace, theater area in the lower level, and most importantly--amazing lake views! We are walking distance to PM Park, the Tiki bar, and The Sweet Spot. A short drive away, you will find vintage downtown Clear Lake, the Surf Ballroom, mini-golf, Lake Theater, Central Gardens of North Iowa, and so much more!
