Beachfront Retreat with Stunning Views & Natural Dune Path to the Beach

We’ve stayed at a lot of rental houses and this was by far the worst. The house had a strange odor to start with. The showers had used soap in them. Paint chipping off walls & ceilings. The walls were warped from moisture. Broken blinds and internal doors in every room. The bed spreads & furniture was very outdated. Towels had stains on them. Moist carpets. The main door had a decent size gap under it which let in bugs. We killed a few roaches actually. No screens on any doors or windows so we weren’t able to enjoy the lovely ocean breeze. The owners keep the thermostat locked at 72 which we found to be very warm to sleep in. The decks had large nails sticking out from many boards and I cut my foot pretty badly on one. No lounge chairs to sit on. The corn hole game board was broken. The pathway to the beach was under knee deep water with slippery pallets underneath which a member of our group slipped and fell on. We awoke our last morning to rain splattering all over the dining room floor from the roof leaking. There is a large list of rules to follow posted throughout the house, none of which were communicated beforehand. We kept our comments to ourselves for the most part as we wanted to try and make the best of our trip. The two times we did communicate with the owner, she was unfriendly and had zero interest in how our stay was going. The pictures of the house are taken in a way as to not show damage. This house should not be rented until many repairs are made.

Hosts were great, house in great shape, loved dune walk to beach had been mowed cleaned.

My wife was really doubtfull of recent trip here. Will never go back to port a. We had so much fun going out at 6, sip on our coffee, watch the sunrise a little after 7, take a short stroll thru the dunes and walk the beach. It was suprising to see more than 1 or 2 folks on the beach, yes its early, but no one all day, Fantastic and special place, tks for all. Mnl

We had a really good time.. great house

We have stayed at this property 4x over the last 10 years and have found it clean, comfortable and with great views of and easy access to the beach. The futon floor has a somewhat musty smell, and there were a couple of items missing we needed on this visit (trash bags and soap). Other than that, another great year and we plan to be back again next year.

Nice property. Very clean and well maintained. We particularly enjoyed the Great Horned Owl mother and owlets nesting in the trunk of a palm tree just a few yards from the deck.

Overall our stay was great. House was very clean and organized, there were toys and movies to play for our 2 grandkids. Only thing I would say that I wasn’t 100% with was the actual walking distance from the beach.It seemed allot shorter wall in the pics and the actual path about halfway down it had a makeshift bridge made with pallets thru the soggy ground. It was a bit slippery and we weren’t a be to our beach wagon over it, so we have to load everything up in our vehicle and drive around to the beach. But other than that it was a great place to stay with very reasonable price compared to the surrounding rentals and pet friendly.

It was a chill place nearby nothing but a gorgeous beach. Warning: you have to have a four wheel drive vehicle or garden galoshes to get the beach. The house was in good shape for being older. It sleeps a lot of people.

House was comfortable and clean, views from the balconies were just perfect for enjoying a coffee in the morning and a drink at night. Would definitely visit again. Thanks, Bobbie!

Loved the cool breeze, enjoyed the beach clear Access. The house was nice, felt very homey. Would love to go there again someday.

Bobbie &Matt were excellent hosts, allowing us to set up last minute accommodations for my wife's 60th birthday getaway. The home is in a great location near the beach and close to enough to town for any last minute things we needed from Stanleys. The house was clean, neat and the house was well stocked with everything necessary for a great stay. We come to Matagorda often and will check their availability again. Take care, till next time!
