Overall we really enjoyed our stay. Host was very great at communicating and the house was very spacious and comfortable!There were a few things that could be improved. The microwave did not work and the hot water heater was not functioning properly when we arrived. Also, I would recommend that some type of permanent bumper be installed on the dock because if you don’t bring anything with you your boat is going to get beat up next to the dock.

About the host

Hosted by Spencer Bell

Host profile image
I worked as full time fly fishing guide in Arroyo City for many years before moving to Colorado. Whether fishing with fly or conventional tackle, Arroyo City is the gem of South Texas. What Port O'Connor used to be and South Padre never was.

Why they chose this property

The house functioned for many years as a fly fishing lodge and is appointed as you would expect. It is comfortable but not stuffy. It has been voted the Best Rental on the Arroyo for 4 straight years.

What makes this property unique

Perfect location close to the park (ramp). Also, it sits at the widest point on the Arroyo, providing spectacular views of the surrounding South Texas ranch country.
