About this property

Bungalow on Ocean--Fishing, Kayak, Marina, Water Views, BBQ!

A fisherman's paradise! Located less than 1/8th of a mile from the Indianola Fishing Marina and down the street from Magnolia Beach. You've got a front seat view to the Matagorda Bay and activity on Ocean Drive. Killer views from every angle--Madagorda Bay right out the front and the Wildlife Preserve marsh directly behind us and to the side. We have room for your boat/ kayaks/ golf cart. This is the perfect place for 2 to 3 couple or 3 fishermen to have their own space.

A-Frame offers 3 separate patios and decks--perfect for watching our amazing sunsets. The unique footprint of our house allows for the most privacy while giving ample opportunity to spend time together. We offer three different patios/ decks--1 deck off the front porch, with captains chairs and seating for 4 more, The next deck is beside the driveway, shaded by the pergola. You will also have seating on the upstairs deck for the couple lucky enough to call dibs on the king bedroom. We have a picnic table under the elevated deck, which always seems to catch a great breeze--perfect spot for hanging out and eating up fresh-caught fish. Living and kitchen area located on ground floor, with views of the ever-changing Matagorda Bay right out the front door. BBQ available.

Kitchen is fully equipped with large and small appliances, along with dining table. All sleeping areas are equipped with TV and WiFi and coffee machines.

Our living room has a sofa sleeper with Tempur-Pedic mattress. Sheets, pillows and blankets are provided.

The bedrooms are located just outside of the main house; the first room being upstairs and offering a very comfortable king-size bed and a single sleeper futon. I have slept on this fold out bed and was very comfortable--5'4 female (likely not suitable for grown man). The room also has the convenience of a mini fridge and Keurig coffee pot. The deck offers stunning water views, great sunsets and stargazing.

The second bedroom is located in the building just behind the main house. This room offers queen size bed, 43" Smart TV and a single-serve-Keurig. This room also has a 1/2 bath with outdoor shower with hot and cold water just outside the door at ground-level.

Three very distinct and separate sleeping areas to allow for maximum privacy. Kayaks are allowed to launch at water to the right of house. Boat parking in specific areas. I have been told the Marina allows overnight docking. Guests are welcome to utilize all living spaces. Laundry room available. This room includes a washer and dryer (laundry detergent NOT provided), in addition to some life jackets, chairs, fishing nets.

Kayaks are available--all guests must sign a Liability Waiver.

NOTE: WE DO NOT HAVE PIER ACCESS and our GUESTS MAY NOT TRESPASS ON NEIGBORING PROPERTIES. The neighbors will alert the authorities with no advance notice and the reservation will be cancelled immediately.

What to bring: Beach towels --some here but may not be enough for your group
Groceries, ice, charcoal--closest HEB/ Walmart is 15-20 minute drive to Port Lavaca

Fishing equipment: The marina sells frozen and live bait, along with hooks, lures, t-shirts, etc.

Food: The Marina has a Bar and Grill and the food is pretty good. Summers: Live music on the weekends and Steak Night on Fridays: https://indianolafishingmarina.com/Events/

We offer $25/50.00 rebate to those that leave our house in amazing condition with no damage (amount depends on length of stay).

Give us the opportunity and we'll do our part to provide a great stay!

About the host

Hosted by Terra Barton

Host profile image
Together with my husband, Scott, and mother-in-law, MaryBeth, we started our adventure with vacation rentals about 3 years ago in Rockport. We started with a little cottage near the Copano Causeway and a year later, we bought the cottage right next door. Recently, MaryBeth picked up the one next to that, which she uses for her own enjoyment. We all live in South Texas. I am from Ventura, California and Scott and MaryBeth are from Levelland, TX. Scott is a Dentist and MaryBeth was a life-long educator. Currently, I am a full-time dog mom to Maggie, my German Shepard and Lucy--she has about 14 different breeds--but has a lot of terrier. We love our blended family. We have several kids and grandkids. My hobby is my family and Scott's hobby is golf, tennis and being on the board of our club. Scott also is very involved with his company and advancing the careers of the younger dentists along with mentoring young dentists learning Invisagn. With all of that said, we stay busy . MaryBeth does not let grass grow under her feet and she is always on the move.

Why they chose this property

By complete accident, I found this beautiful A-Frame in Indianola and it was love at first sight. In my opinion, the house is a show-stopper. Built in the 1960's and then rebuilt from the inside out by the former owner, we have tried to maintain a '70's vibe with décor and not making the interior work to hard to stand out. A lot of the houses in this area are big party houses--ours is not really 'that'--instead, it is a place to unwind, relax, vibe out on just being and enjoying the 3 'F's": friends, family and fishing. Our sunrises and sunsets are astonishing.

What makes this property unique

This property offers everything you need for a short or long stay. All linens are provided. Each room offers TV and Wi-Fi. You will have access to all 3 patios; 2 down stairs and 1 elevated deck above. Each bedroom is separated by 4 walls...complete privacy. Not only that, but each room has its own bathroom. A nice feature is the outdoor shower, offering hot water! Yes!!! Parking for your boat is not a problem--we have plenty of room. We have a nice sized BBQ and work table for preparing food outside. Washer and dryer are available for use. We have plenty of room for your golf cart, boat or kayaks. Kayaks can be launched jus to the right of the bungalow. The Indianola Fishing Marina is a 5 minute walk or a 30 second drive by car. You can launch boats/ kayaks from that location, order a meal, get a drink not to mention buy bait and some tackle, clothes, etc. On the weekends during spring and summer, the marina offers live music and they have a Steak Night.
