The next to the last house on the Colorado River, and very close to the beach and jetty pier. Enjoy fishing on our pier, and a night spot light provides good fishing at night, especially sand trout during the summer. It is fully furnished with all kitchen utensils, and linens and towels are provided. We have free high speed Starlink satellite internet access (new for 2022), Dish network, and a washer and dryer is available for your convenience. In front of the house is a creek which runs out to East Matgorda, and is perfect for kayakers, and a great place to do some crabbing, also.

Nice little house on the river in Matagorda. The house was the perfect size for the two of us. We enjoyed drinking coffee in the mornings on the back deck looking out over the river and marsh lands. The furiture was comfortable and the house was clean when we got there. We ended up sleeping on the futon in the livingroom because the portable a/c unit in the bedroom was super loud and the bed was super soft in the middle. The dock light was nice, but did attract alot of bigs when on. FYI- the water has a bit of a sulfur smell, so we used bottled water for coffee. Parking was good and having an outdoor sink was nice when fishing on the dock to rinse off my hands. We used the hose to rinse of fishing poles and feet when we came back from the beach. All in all a great place to stay for the price.
We were able to catch plenty of bait directly across the road from the house. Literally threw the net a couple of times and had enough mullet, shrimp and croakers to fish for hours.
Everything as advertised! Fishing was decent right off the dock despite very windy conditions. Quiet and calm getaway. Would rent again without hesitation.

Wonderful little house and great people to deal with.
An overall great stay at the cabin. It was a new experience for my cousin and his wife so it was a bonus to catch very good trout in East Matagorda Bay and all the sand trout off the dock at the cabin. So without saying they are ready for another trip.
Nice place to stay, fairly clean. Living room lights need a little work. Kitchen, dining room a/c not the best. But rest are great. Overall for the price. Good place to stay. Good fishing.
Great little place on the river and close to the beach
Last time I stay was a couple of years ago when it was the last house on the river. It's a great place for a small group. No frills, upper deck, lower deck with river frontage, big light for night fishing. I really love this place.
We love staying at this house. Wonderful place to fish, kick back and relax, beautiful sunset and sunrise. Close to the beach. Great fishing.! Nice kitchen set up. Wonderful dock. Set up for plenty of room for people to spread out.
We had a great time. Kayaked (weather not great). Location for kayaking is great. Fished off pier. Cooked dinner. Had everything we needed. Great stay. We will be back
It was exactly what we were looking for. Very clean, air conditioners work great, perfect for 4 people, even enough futon room for a couple of kids, if needed. Snappers, right down the street had great fried shrimp. We caught lots of hardhead, gafftops, some little drums, even an eel, and some nice sized crabs. Super fun,
Will definitely come back!

Could do better
My family had a good time fishing. My first experience getting there was not the best it was not very clean there were dead roaches, dusty and dirty dishes. A other thing that I did not like was that 2 homes down there was a woman that sat there both days that we were there just staring at us that made my family very uncomfortable I just wish we had a bit more of privacy.
Location is great but state of repair was badly in need. Downstairs outdoor lighting was extremely poor, four of the light sockets were not working also no lights or power outlets at the cleaning station, fish were almost non existent, stayed four nights and only saw small sand trout on the last night one plus was that crabs were abundant so at least we took something home. Not recommended until repairs are made.

Great Fishing Cabin!!!
This cabin is located near the end of the houses on the Colorado, so that was nice. One house after it then just waterway. Very easy to find.
It is a old fishing cabin, so don't expect it to be fancy. There are 2 small bedrooms (no closets or place for clothes), a dining/kitchen area and a living room area. Washer and dryer. Sheets, towels, pots/pans, etc. Remember older cabin.
Nice large fridge - which should be marked "NO BAIT" because someone must have put bait in this nice fridge and it smelled like it. We kept ours in a cooler downstairs.
Great fishing!!! Deck is nice, covered patio for coolers, fishing equipment, etc. Great cleaning station!!! A plus for sure.
Suggestions:
1. Light over cleaning station didn't work. Would have helped since we were night fishing.
2. Towels - suggest some new ones - one washrag had holes all in it. There were only three and we are washrag people and stayed 3 days with 2 people.
3. Would be nice to have a small area to lock up fishing equipment.
4. Shower head could be replaced so water comes out well.
5. No lighting upstairs deck outside. Hard to see walking around out there.
Overall, a nice trip and great fishing. We caught a couple reds, lots of catfish, a few trout - no keepers and a weird frog fish.
Sunset was absolutely gorgeous!!! Across the river we saw coyotes. And dolphins swimming around. Lots of birds!! This is the 4th time this year we have stayed in this area to fish and we love it!!!
