We liked the location and was able to reconnect with my husband’s friends and him show me some things from his past! The house had everything you needed. We didn’t find the washer/dryer but we didn’t need them. The door handle to the entrance door I have to say was the worst and most aggravating thing about the house. Hopefully owner will get that fixed asap! Mosquitoes were terrible so bring lots of bug spray! Other than those two things loved our stay! ##### Tina S.

She promptly answered our texts and was even able to facilitate us checking in a little early. As our first trip with our 4 month old, we were nervous to say the least. Thank you again for working with us! The house is perfect for a small family. Everything was clean and the kitchen had all utensils we needed. The living room area is perfect for relaxing after a long day fishing. Tons of open storage under the house for all your fishing/beach gear. I left my kayak and fishing poles under the house and had no worries about it being taken. The street is quiet and everyone was very friendly. Will definitely book Haley's place in the future! ##### Tyler H.

The decor was fantastic. The area was not to busy, just a few construction vehicles and other folks coming to and from their homes, which made for a quit and relaxing stay. It's been a while since we've been to Matagorda so we didn't know the beach entrance had changed walking to the beach from the house was not Ideal since you had to go threw the dunes and high grass, not an issue at all since the old beach parking lot and pier was super close. Would definitely stay again in the future. ##### Everret W.
