Great spot near fishing and kayaking!

This spot was close to kayak launching spots and fishing hot spots - which was the primary purpose of our trip. The lit fishing deck was an added bonus! The house was clean and perfect for our family of four. The kitchen was nicely stocked with cookware, dinnerware, and utensils. We had plenty of towels and toiletries for our stay. We would definitely stay again if we find our way back to the area.

Five star stay at Matagorda

We truly enjoyed our stay here at Matagorda. The location was great with a nice dock for fishing. Enjoyed by our whole party. House itself is well laid out and very comfortable. Kitchen is super well-stocked with cooking utensils and cookware (more so than the usual rental) which was appreciated! Overall great stay and hope to stay again soon.

Perfect 4th of July weekend!

Everything was perfect! We fished on the dock and saw jellyfish and crabs and all kinds of stuff that had the kids amazed. The house was clean and exactly as advertised. The host checked in and made sure we were happy. The location was PERFECT! Spent two days at the beach and watched fireworks on the 4th. Snappers is a mile away and was lots of fun! We will definitely be back!

Best River house in Matagorda

The house is gorgeous. New amenities, great location. There are chairs for the beach provided, a bbq pit, fully stocked kitchen and great outdoor space for hanging out. The rooms were spacious and very comfortable beds! Kids room slept 5 kids comfortably. We had little kids and they loved the bunk beds. Loved the everything about this house and since this is an annual family trip for us, we definitely plan to book again.

I can’t stop raving about this property!

We absolutely adored this property. The hosts were amazing, the house was immaculate and it was so up-to-date. The hosts have truly thought of EVERYTHING. All the extras make this my absolute FAVORITE rental we’ve been to thus far. The beds were comfy, the shower head had AMAZING pressure. And it’s was so clean!! The electric sofas and the electric fireplace were the cherry on top! Also, the communication with the hosts was superb! Check-in and check-out instructions were fool proof. Can’t wait to book again!!!

Great house on the river

The house was great. Very clean and great location on the river with close proximity to the beach. The owners keep you well informed during the entire stay and are very friendly. The only complaint which is minimal of the property is the single thermostat is located downstairs so the upstairs can get a little stuffy at night for sleeping unless you really crank the AC down.

The house was comfortable and clean and had all of the amenities we wanted. It was in a good location in respect to the beach and shops in town and provided good fishing from the dock. The owners communicated well and made sure we had everything we needed.

Nice house with good dock and lights

Nice house with a good dock for fishing, day or night. A/C works great, beds are nice and firm. House is clean and appliances are quite new. Internet is satellite based and not the best. Driveway slopes down toward the street, so if you bring a boat, bring wheel chocks.

Perfect location for a fishing/beaching combo

Property was immaculate. Communication with owner was regular and easy. Jess made sure to connect with me starting a week or so prior to our trip and daily thereafter. We experienced zero problems with the house the entire week. Specifically, the furniture was comfortable and tastefully done. It was well laid out where the guests not only had plenty of room to sit but also plenty of room to move around. This house is definitely on my "rent again" list. A great experience

Following a family tragedy in 2016, our travels became more frequent and profound, sparking our passion for establishing a small family business. Our goal is to provide other families, like ours, with the opportunity to enjoy the breathtaking beauty of the Texas coast.
