Matagorda, Texas
'512 Beach House' is a modern, 3 bedroom/2.5 bath, beachfront home with an open floor plan, too many windows to count, and 3 large balconies. The house spreads out across 2 beachfront lots (this is rare) and has 360 degree views of beach and wetlands. The ocean can be seen from every room in the house. As one of our guests said, "Pictures don't do this house justice."
The first floor is a completely open floor plan, perfect for entertaining family and friends. The house is uncluttered and open, allowing for everyone to spread out and find their perfect spot to relax (Personally, I recommend the screen porch). You will enjoy 360 degree views of beach and bay. The house boasts a large modern kitchen with island seating. The kitchen is open to the dining and living areas. There is a large screened in porch off the kitchen with a dining table and couch. It truly is the perfect place to enjoy a morning coffee, listen to the ocean, and watch the pelicans fly over the house.
Upstairs you will find 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths. The primary bedroom has a king size bed, ensuite bathroom, and large private balcony. As with all the bedrooms, you will enjoy unobstructed ocean views. The guest room also has a king size bed and shares a bathroom with the bunk room. The bunk room has 2 bunk beds (4 twin beds) and a twin daybed that can be pulled out into a king size bed. The bottom bunks are adult tested and approved. To ensure guest comfort, I do not recommend the top bunks for adult guests. The guest room and bunkroom also have doors opening out to their own shared balcony.
'512 Beach House' is conveniently located only minutes from the historic town of Matagorda. Matagorda is a hidden gem that offers visitors many activities, including fishing, bird watching, beachcombing, shelling, swimming, surfing, kayaking, and stargazing. Visitors will find that Matagorda is a much more quiet, natural place than most of the Texas coast.

You will find that '512 Beach House' is beautifully and completely furnished to ensure that your stay is a comfortable and unforgettable.
Large spacious place right near the beach. Awesome hosts!
The house has a wonderful view of the ocean. Lots of space and is very clean. Good beach access too. We had a great time.
This property has everything we needed.
Booked this with friends and it turned out perfect. Place is better than the pictures show and it was one of the better stocked kitchens for cooking that I’ve seen. Management was very easy to communicate with and very attentive. They even had a new grill delivered to us out first night to replace the one broken by the previous renters just before it. I would definitely book this house again.
Location is perfect, away from the crowds, house is gorgeous, didn’t have any issues with the walk to the beach. The view from the top balcony is amazing. Kids want to make it a tradition every year to stay at 512. The owners were very kind and helpful, and that made the difference.
We stayed for 5 nights at this great home on the beach. We spent most days just lounging on the beach. We used our vehicles to drive back and forth to the beach. The home is well furnished and has many great decks for time at the house. There is even a screened in porch for when the bugs are bad. We would definitely recommend this house.
Spacious house, huge kitchen, nice bathrooms! Really enjoyed the screened in porch and balconies and beautiful view. Watched the full moon rise over the water from the balcony. Used the grill a couple times. Picked up shrimp at the recommended shop in town. All enjoyable. The trek to the beach was further than we imagined and the mosquitos on the way were horrible. The only other time I’ve experienced mosquitos like that was in the Florida Everglades during the off season when no one goes there because of the mosquitoes. We began calling it “the mosquito gauntlet”. It was seriously insane. We attempted to drive to the beach instead but with the soft sand we couldn’t risk driving a regular car onto the beach. So if you want to take a shade canopy and chairs and such to the beach be prepared for a hike through water, swarms of mosquitos, big sticker burs and dunes. It’s basically a marsh and then dunes between the house and the beach. Other option is to make sure you have a vehicle that can handle soft sand so you can at least drive around onto the beach to set up your things. Perhaps it’s not as bad at other times of the year. We have had a good amount of rain this Spring.
We had the best time. We loved coming home to this house after spending the day at the beach. It was just the four of us, but this house would be perfect for two families. We will definitely be back!
We loved staying here. The location is perfect for getting to the beach, & the house had lots of space and numerous porches & balconies for enjoying the gulf view. The house is lovely & updated.
We loved our stay at the 512 Beach House. If you're looking for a nice, quiet, secluded beach getaway this is your place. The house was clean, spacious, and comfortable. The outdoor patios and balconies were huge, and made for a wonderful space to enjoy the ocean view. While it was a bit chilly and windy due to the time of year, we enjoyed the private walking trail to the beach, and found the beach to be very clean with beautiful sand and as many seashells as you can collect. Our one wish for the property is that there were more comfy spaces to sit in the common areas (another couch or some cozy arm chairs would have been fabulous). Overall, we loved it. Abbey was responsive and helpful with all of our questions. We look forward to coming back again!
House was thoughtfully designed. Bedrooms are spacious, kitchen was well stocked, bathrooms were beautifully tiled and living area allowed our little ones to chase each other round and round!
We had a great experience! The mosquitos and flooding prevented us from accessing the beach from our house on this trip but we intend to rent again in the future. House has gorgeous views and was well equipped.
My family and I enjoyed our stay very much. The long open living area made it easy to be together but still do our own things. The mosquitos between the beach and the house were overwhelming, but the beach was always in view due to the many windows and the gulf-facing deck, so we didn't really feel we were missing out.
The property was nice and inviting. Great beach spot to reunite with friends.
This is our third time staying at this property and it never disappoints - from the small attention to details to the amazing view from every window. It was relaxing to wake to the sound of the waves crashing against the shore - would highly recommend for a family or friends vacation!
The photos do not do it justice. The main, dining and kitchen are huge with wonderful lighting (natural and indoor). Main deck as well as both upstair decks are perfect getaways to watch the surf with a glass of wine. Hosts are very attentive and have thought of everything. After 20+ years of going to Matagorda staying at 8 different houses this is definitely the winner. We plan to return for many years to come.
This house is huge and very nicely decorated. The kitchen is well stocked with every utensil/pot/pan you will need. The view of the ocean is amazing from all parts of the house! My kids loved the bunk beds and games that were available.
We were amazed at how great and quiet the beach was even during Memorial Day weekend! The house was AMAZING - felt like we were staying in a high-end hotel! The walk over the dunes to the beach was doable with kids ages 8 and 10! Needed to wear shoes and it helped to have a beach wagon to carry all of our stuff! There is a beach entrance not far where you can drive your car on the beach, but we loved walking over the dunes to our own little slice of the beach! Matagorda has lots of activities - we went ghost crab hunting one night and kayaking one day. Cute little mom and pop type diner not too far away! Perfect spot for a family vacation! We would book again for sure!
