    Staying at the Seaesta Shack was a great getaway for our family. The house was comfortable and relaxing. Just far enough from town for some quiet, close enough to the beach for a quick walk in the waves. Jess is quick to respond with any questions or concerns. We look forward to coming back.

    The property was more then we ever expected. Beautiful inside and out. The fishing was great, the beach was close and perfect conditions. The only thing we would recommend is a handrail going up to the bedrooms, for the elderly and ppl with bad knees. We would live to stay here again in the future. Totally going to recommend this place.

    We’ve stayed at several properties in Matagorda, and this one stands out by far! The hosts are absolute pros — hands down the best communication we’ve ever had through Vrbo (and we’ve rented all over the country). Super organized, super responsive, and genuinely thoughtful.The location is amazing — right on the beautiful Colorado River! Our teens were in heaven fishing and crabbing off the dock. During the day, we piled into the Jeep and drove straight onto the beach (yes, you can drive on the beach — just make sure your vehicle is up for it). It was the perfect mix of adventure and relaxation.The hosts have truly thought of everything. They even installed a water system because Matagorda water isn’t always the best — such a game-changer. Plus, there’s a super easy 2-minute drive into town to fill up a 5-gallon jug with fresh water. Details like that really set this place apart from others in the area. The kitchen is also fully stocked — just bring your groceries and you're good to go!Only small hiccup was with the washer/dryer, but the hosts responded immediately and already have plans to address it. Even with the minor glitch, we were still able to get a few loads done, no biggie at all.Just one safety tip: walk with care on the stairs to the upstairs bedrooms. The hosts did put down anti-slip strips, but still worth taking it slow, especially with kiddos or if you're carrying things.Overall — we highly recommend this property! It’s a perfect river beach combo.

    The house was clean, comfortable and as described. My family and I had a great time and even caught four keeper flounder off the pier. We expect to stay here again.

    This spot was close to kayak launching spots and fishing hot spots - which was the primary purpose of our trip. The lit fishing deck was an added bonus! The house was clean and perfect for our family of four. The kitchen was nicely stocked with cookware, dinnerware, and utensils. We had plenty of towels and toiletries for our stay. We would definitely stay again if we find our way back to the area.

    We had a great stay . Very clean . The stairs were a little tricky since there was nowhere to hold on to and father in law did have a little trouble but we managed it . We loved the pier and green light !

    We truly enjoyed our stay here at Matagorda. The location was great with a nice dock for fishing. Enjoyed by our whole party. House itself is well laid out and very comfortable. Kitchen is super well-stocked with cooking utensils and cookware (more so than the usual rental) which was appreciated! Overall great stay and hope to stay again soon.
