Casa Arroyo First Floor - Pier, Game Room
Summary:
Welcome to the First Floor of Casa Arroyo Sporting Lodge, a spacious waterfront retreat in Arroyo City. Four bedrooms sleep up to nine, with a brand-new kitchen, a big open living and game room with a pool table, and a wide deck with a BBQ overlooking the water. Step out to the lighted pier for fishing day or night, watch the boats drift by, and settle in where the Arroyo Colorado meets the Lower Laguna Madre. World-class bay fishing is right at your door.
The Space:
The First Floor of Casa Arroyo Sporting Lodge is a spacious 2,400 square foot retreat on the water in Arroyo City, where the Arroyo Colorado meets the Lower Laguna Madre. This is the final private parcel before the entrance to Adolph Thomae Jr. County Park and the Laguna Atascosa National Wildlife Refuge, an outdoor paradise for fishing, hunting, and coastal wildlife.
The heart of the first floor is a big open living and game room, complete with a pool table, comfortable seating, and a full bar, all under warm wood-plank ceilings. A brand-new kitchen with modern appliances makes it easy to cook for a crowd, and the dining area gives everyone a place to gather. Four bedrooms and two newly renovated bathrooms with walk-in showers provide comfortable, flexible sleeping for up to nine guests.
Just outside, a spacious deck with a BBQ area overlooks the water, and the lodge's lighted pier is steps away for fishing morning or night. Whether you are here to fish, hunt, or gather with family and friends, the First Floor puts you right at the water's edge with room to spread out.
