Dany Lake house remodeled w/ dock/kayak/paddleboat

A delightful/fun/cozy house located on the water in Clearlake Keys with easy access to the lake and wineries. I am a superhost and will do everything to ensure you will have a great stay! The house is located in one of the best spots in the Keys, very close to the lake where the quality of the water is the best. Choose to be at the best spot since the houses farther away from the lake might not be ideal for water activities. Book with a SUPERHOST, don’t take the risk with inexperienced hosts!
