Welcome to The Oyster Beach & Fish Camp, a quirky, coastal compound located on the quiet shoreline of Lavaca/Matagorda Bay in Magnolia Beach, Texas, a low-key, friendly fishing & beach village with quiet mornings & a warm community.

It's laid-back lodging, custom designed for fishing & birding trips, adult group getaways, family gatherings with older children or just an escape from the ordinary. This character-meets-comfort retreat offers several unique and separate spaces: 2 cozy Cabins; a "professional" Kitchen (aka: The Pearl, a repurposed food trailer); a second level, open-air Patio & indoor Bar/Dining Room and a large, ground-level, covered, Outdoor Living Area where you'll likely spend the majority of your time. The Cabins: Cozy, Private & Practical Each Cabin has 2 Bedrooms with a Full Size Bunk Bed in each, a Full Bath with Shower & separate Sink and small Living Area with loveseat & 2 chairs.

Plus the bay view from the prep/"service" window is unbeatable. The Stilt Haus: Breezy Views & Easy Entertainment The second level, open air Patio invites you to kick back with a cold drink, watch the boats go by and relax on the comfortable, living room style furniture. Or step inside to the Bar/Dining Room outfitted with bar height dining table & bar stools, large TV with Roku, Half Bath and mini-split a/c unit. It's the perfect place for dinner, games, watching some television or recharging after a day on the water.

This was such a fun and unique place to stay, very well maintained and right on the beach. Well equipped with everything you would need for an extended stay. Check in and out we're easy, communication was great and we hope to be back again soon.
The property was amazing. Location Location Location! Rooms were clean and cool and the view and hangout spots from the rest of the property was outstanding. Property manager was professional and prompt an made sure we were satisfied thru out our stay. I highly recommend this VRBO.

Thank you Charles, I had something different in mind when I was designing the space. I am sooo glad you liked it, and appreciate your response. PS The space will have more amenities the next time you stay.
Thank you. Russell and Denise
Russell and Denise were amazing hosts.Everything was wonderful we caught lots of redfish , stingrays,sharks and gafftop.We made lots of wonderful memories and can't wait to go back.The only bad part was having to leave.
Excellent, dedicated, committed and kind staff. Fully equipped kitchen, everything neat and clean. I’d recommend this place for quality family time, fishing and relaxation. Kudos to everybody. It was a real pleasure!
We live in Austin, Texas where we own & manage a small business and raise our family.
Why they chose this property
As lovers of coastal places, we were very drawn to this quirky, little beach & fishing community. Imagine the Florida Keys about 60 years ago... million dollar houses next to RV's.
What makes this property unique
The Oyster is not a traditional home. It's like a "deconstructed" home where the Kitchen is a food trailer, the bedrooms are contained in 2 individual Cabins, the Dining Rm is on the 2nd level and the Living Room is a covered, open air space. It's situated directly across from the public pier and it's on the beach.
