Beautiful River House w/lighted fishing pier

Nestled on the picturesque Gulf Coast of Texas, this charming, stilted cottage offers the best of coastal living along a serene riverfront setting. It includes 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a fully equipped kitchen and washer and dryer. The master bedroom features a comfortable queen-size bed, while the second bedroom offers two full-size beds, and the third bedroom includes a versatile full-size trundle bed with an additional twin bed. The open and light-filled living spaces offer perfect views of the Colorado river and the natural surroundings of Matagorda Bay.

Step onto the expansive wrap-around deck and enjoy both great sunrise and sunset views. With a lighted dock on the river, outdoor enthusiasts can partake in fishing/crabbing day or night. Next to the dock is an outdoor shower and fish cleaning station with running water. For memorable outdoor dining experiences, there's a screened-in dining area where you can enjoy your catch of the day prepared in either the dual fish fryer or propane grill, both found downstairs. Access to Matagorda beach is only a short 5-minute drive. This riverfront house is a true gem that offers the perfect getaway from the city, with outdoor adventures and cherished moments in the Gulf Coast paradise.
