We were very satisfied with the location and the amenities of the house. The only negative was a botched paint job that left the floor covered in white paint splatter that created an ambience of a construction site. We still rate it 5 stars. It was just hard to overlook the mess on the floors.

Perfect Weekend Getaway

Just wanted a little weekend getaway near the water. Matagorda is not crazy busy like Galveston so had a nice quiet weekend even on the 4th of July. Could see fireworks from the deck. The house was clean and cool. Would stay here again.

The only negative comment for me was that the washer and dryer was advertised and when we got there it was locked. I called the host and we got it cleared up, but when we opened the door, we found that the person cleaning had left the towels and the bath mats in the dryer. If I hadn't called we would not have had towels. The location was great and my daughter and I had a great weekend. The television was a little complicated for someone who is not savvy with electronics.

Great location

The house was the perfect size for our family. Great location and easy to find. Owner was very responsive and great communicator. Decor was perfect. Great games for family time. I could not figure out how to use the TV but we did not come to Matagorda to watch TV so no problem. Overall great experience. Thanks!

Matagorda 2023

Matagorda beach FB page is “Gorda Gossip “ that was helpful. The public beach is the best place to swim. Pier was best for shelll hunting. The house was every thing we expected. However, no instructions came with the TVs and how to navigate their set up. But honestly didn’t watch much TV it was sunny 88 degrees

Home with deck and ocean view

Host extremely responsive and accommodating. Home currently under some type of excessive ceiling rehab. Entire ceiling either filled with holes, screws exposed, drywall replacement etc. Home lacked deep cleaning in bathroom especially shower. Kitchen filled with all essentials. Check out easy since expectations stated clearly and requested prior to departure date.

Nice little house with cute beachy interior. Air conditioning was Fantastic! Host was easy to communicate with and very accommodating. Very close to beach but wasn’t a 5 minute walk. Maybe for some people it would be, but we are in our 60’s! We drove to the parking area instead. Directly across from Matagorda Bay Nature Park. Overall it was a good stay and a fun weekend!

Wonderful Beach House

We enjoyed our stay at this home. We liked the location and was able to reconnect with my husband’s friends and him show me some things from his past! The house had everything you needed. We didn’t find the washer/dryer but we didn’t need them. The door handle to the entrance door I have to say was the worst and most aggravating thing about the house. Hopefully owner will get that fixed asap! Mosquitoes were terrible so bring lots of bug spray! Other than those two things loved our stay!

Perfect Place for a Small Family

Haley was an amazing communicator for all questions we had. She promptly answered our texts and was even able to facilitate us checking in a little early. As our first trip with our 4 month old, we were nervous to say the least. Thank you again for working with us! The house is perfect for a small family. Everything was clean and the kitchen had all utensils we needed. The living room area is perfect for relaxing after a long day fishing. Tons of open storage under the house for all your fishing/beach gear. I left my kayak and fishing poles under the house and had no worries about it being taken. The street is quiet and everyone was very friendly. Will definitely book Haley's place in the future!

Relaxing Getaway

The house was as expeced, clean and in good shape. The decor was fantastic. The area was not to busy, just a few construction vehicles and other folks coming to and from their homes, which made for a quit and relaxing stay. It's been a while since we've been to Matagorda so we didn't know the beach entrance had changed walking to the beach from the house was not Ideal since you had to go threw the dunes and high grass, not an issue at all since the old beach parking lot and pier was super close. Would definitely stay again in the future.
