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!

Here for fishing.
We were here for fishing. Did not spend much time in the condo, more time on the water. Condo was nice and served it purpose, a place to shower and sleep. There are two beds and a bathroom upstairs. The spiral staircase is not easy for larger people, especially with luggage. Keep that in mind. The AC was cold, the beds were comfortable. The pool was a nice add and provided a refreshing dip after a long day fishing in the sun. The house is located near the beach, not far from the jetties where there is good fishing. We chartered a boat for bay fishing the first day, and chartered a boat for fishing 60 miles out on the second day. Matagorda is a great place to visit, fish, and enjoy time away. This condo was a great place to stay.

Break from busy city
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.
