We had such a relaxing enjoyable week here! The home is beautiful and the neighborhood is so peaceful and quiet. We have been coming to Matagorda for several years and this is the best place we have ever stayed. The kitchen is well stocked with cookware and large and spacious. The fishing is easy and fun. The excitement comes from never knowing what will be on your hook. We caught red and black drum, flounder, croaker, sea trout, alligator gar, lady fish, gaft top and hardhead saltwater catfish. We also used a trap to catch blue crabs. Most everything was not legal size but so much fun to catch and release.

This is the second time for us to stay in this lovely home. The neighborhood is so quiet and peaceful. The home is designer beautiful with lots of room for gatherings or individual activities. The outdoor areas are perfect for bird watching or early morning coffee. The screened in outdoor area is great and mosquito free. We spent a week here and fished when it wasn’t raining (rain in mid July in Texas??) We took the short drive to the beach and did some shopping in Palacios (Pirate Queen) and also in Bay City. Enjoyed an excellent meal at Snappers at their new location. There are several great bait shops in the Matagorda area as well. We enjoy cooking family meals together so the huge kitchen is a bonus. This home is a real treasure. We have already booked a third trip in October.
