We stayed for a week and had family ranging from 5 years to 68 years old. The space was clean and the kitchen well stocked with dishes and utensils. We LOVED the easy beach access and the clean, good sized pool. The hosts were very responsive and the property was as advertised. Some notes for future guests: the spiral staircase makes second floor access hard for anyone with mobility issues. There are no extra blankets so bring some if you like to be cozy! There are no beach chairs or deck chairs provided (deck does have a picnic table) so plan ahead and bring your own. We didn’t find anywhere to rent chairs within 2 hours.

Hidden Gem

We had a great family vacation. We had plenty of room with 7 adults and 2 kids. The pool for the condos is great for adults and kids. They also have a pond on site that has some huge fish in it. You can easily walk to the beach or make a very short drive to get to the beach. My family had a wonderful time and look forward to going back some time.

Perfect Stay in Matagorda!

The condo was clean and comfortable, and the AC was able to keep everyone comfy and cool after all day on the beach! My family and I stayed here, and my mother has a limited range of motion and some balance issues, so the walk in showers were so perfect for her! Very easy check in and check out, and the property owner was so respensive and helpful for check in!

Great beach getaway

We had a great family vacation! The property contact Mike was very communicative and extremely accommodating. The location of the house is perfect. You can either do a quick 3 min drive to the beach so that you have your vehicle or there is a path that you can walk 5 minutes right out the door to the beach. The house is right on a pond that is very pretty and our boys enjoyed fishing and kayaking. We were able to bring our boat and felt safe with the house being in a gated community. It’s also only 10 minutes from the public boat ramp. So overall this house is reasonably priced, great location and super friendly!

Friends get away

We had a really good time in this beach house ! Everything was clean and the house was comfortable and equipped with everything we needed . I like to mention though that , if you have small children or old people, the spiral staircase is a bit of a challenge. We were a group of 5 “seasoned “ gals and 3 could not get up there . I suggest that if you have small children to bring a guard rail

Family Trip

We loved being near the beach and the nature center. The location is great, but the mosquitos were terrible (obviously no fault of the owner). They swarmed us walking from the condo to the car. There was so much standing water outside the condo due to recent rain. We didn't get to enjoy a lot of outdoor time. Thmusidcondocondo.

Thank you Evelyn for coming to stay with us. Sorry about the bug issue. This time of year can be hit or miss & unfortunately we got a lot of rain this season which has made the bugs bad. Once you make it to the beach the bugs don't bug you there. Hope you will come and stay with us again.

First time visitor to TX

Mike is very helpful and communicated with us about any questions we had. The property is quiet and the neighbors were friendly. There is some wear and tear to the deck that will probably need to be addressed in the near future. I’m sure it’s the Gulf climate that requires continual maintenance. We enjoyed the people and the weather in Matagorda. It was a great family vacation

Thanks Rene, glad you had a good time staying at our place. Yes, the deck got some wear and tear especially after the last hurricane and it is our next project to work on. Hope to see you again at our Happy Place!
