4th of July Celebration in Matagorda

Awesome place right on the Colorado river and just minutes from The Harbor in Matagorda. Loved the porch and the pier. Will definitely be coming back this winter. Kids loved playing pool in the game room and fishing/crabbing on the pier. Nice layout with 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.

Beautiful view and home

The home was clean and roomy. The game room was an added bonus. It was Easy check in and out. The fishing pier gave us many hours of relaxation and fishing. Dolphins were swimming off pier the last morning. Had a great time and got some much needed rest. Would definitely recommend!

Nice place to stay if you are okay with not being on the beach about s 15 minute drive but we were good with that. Nice pier for fishing we did not catch a lot but enjoyed being able to spend the time trying.

Great Property

This is a great house at the end of the road with a fishing pier with water and lights for night fishing. Restaurants and shops are minutes away. House is very clean and with 3 large bathrooms. The kitchen is stocked with cooking implements. The back porch is huge and comfortable with lots of sitting areas plus a porch swing.

Great Fishing Cottage

We are frequent visitors to Matagorda but this is our first time staying in this area on the Colorado River. Cute cottage — Great location, we unloaded the boat at the harbor but were able to dock the boat at the cottage’s pier during the day. Great fishing at the pier at night under the green lights. It was nice to find a house with 2 king beds! Owners responded promptly.

Exactly as listed

Private lighted pier for fishing( with cleaning table) night or day, Ok for boat docking/boarding, but no launching. Nice kitchen, adequate cooking equipment, plates, etc. Lots of bed and bath space. No complaints from us.
