Stayed Feb 20, 2026We stayed for a quick weekend trip. 3rd and Surf was a cute little house, well-maintained, and most importantly, clean! We had all the tools we needed in the kitchen to cook a few meals and plenty of room to be comfortable. We would happily stay here again next time we're in town!

Stayed Jul 25, 2025Location, location, location! This adorable little bungalow was walking distance to downtown, the Surf Ballroom, and the lake! Our grandsons were thrilled with all the toys, books and the big yard to play in. We visited the Clear Lake Farmer's Market in the Surf Ballroom's parking lot on Saturday morning and got lots of homegrown goodies to eat while we were here. Since we ate most of our meals in, our only issue was with how the kitchen was poorly stocked with pots, pans, plates, glassware and silverware. The dishes could have been better than plastic and the pots and pans have been abused and need to be replaced. The Ninja blender was a pleasant surprise. We enjoyed our stay at 3rd and Surf, which was comfortable, clean and family friendly. Thanks for helping us make lots of new family memories.

Stayed Jul 11, 2025We came to Clear Lake for a concert at the Surf. The house is very close! The host let me know about the farmer’s market in the parking lot of the Surf on Saturday mornings, so that was very convenient! The games were nice, there was a chair in the living room that we were all obsessed with, and there were a ton of extra blankets and pillows all around the house for lounging! It was a great little house and had more than enough space for our two couples. The host didn’t reach out after check-in but we didn’t have any issues, so there wasn’t a need. I messaged them after we checked out, and they promptly replied.

Stayed Jun 11, 20253rd & Surf was exactly what my family and I needed. We were in town for the Midstates Horse Show in Mason City and it was nice to have a place to come relax after a few days in the hot sun. There was plenty of room for my family to spread out and have their own space. Molly & Brad were very responsive to our messages. We will definitely be booking again when we come to next years horse show. Thanks again for sharing your home!!

Stayed Jun 2, 2025We had a very nice stay at this vrbo. The owners were wonderful and attentive. The house was clean and the bed was comfortable. We had to change our dates after the reservation was made and they were great about that as well. The only suggestion I would have would be to have some small tables next to the furniture to set drinks, plates etc. the gazebo was very special. Enjoyed the mornings in there with my coffee. It’s a special house, and we would love to stay there again. Also, it’s in a very good location in town as well.

We made full use of the property over Memorial Weekend. In for a family graduation party, it was close to the venue. And we hung out in the screened in porch a lot and even used the fire pit area.

We brought our own beach towels and chairs but didn’t need to since the owners provide them. Our family had a s’mores night at the outdoor fire pit. This was our third stay at this property and we’ll be back again.
