Nice weekend retreat

Nice place to stay for a quick getaway near the beach. TV is a little challenging as we couldn’t get major networks so we couldnt watch college football on ABC. Unit faces mostly west so if you are there in June- September the ac will probably not keep up especially in the upstairs bedroom.

Perfect Quiet Weekend Getaway

We stayed here to celebrate my husband’s 44th birthday, and everything was perfect. The beach is a very short walk, and we loved our time at the pool. Communication with the owners, check-in, and check-out was super easy too! We’ll definitely be back.

Great coastal getaway

We had such a great time staying here. We had been traveling throughout Texas and wanted a quiet relaxing place for our last stop. That is exactly what we found. Our condo was comfortably furnished and had easy access to the beach as well as Matagorda. If you are looking for a lovely place to rest close to the gulf I highly recommend staying here!

Condo was comfortable for me and my girls. View was good and able to walk to the beach. Quiet beach and town. Very relaxing stay. If you like to fish, lots of options to drop a line in the water here.

Fantastic

Our stay was absolutely amazing!!!! The house was clean and the kitchen was fully stocked with all the accessories you may need to cook with. Our only issue we had was all the mosquitoes. They were so bad we were only able to stay outside for extremely short periods of time and had to use a ton of repellent. But the property was truly amazing and we had a fantastic time!!!!
