The Barefoot Bungalow is located on the Colorado River in Matagorda Texas. The house features a large open living area and kitchen. There is a large bedroom with 2 bunk beds , twin on top and full on bottom, and a small sleeping area with a full bed, as well as a full sized sleeper sofa. Bath towels and all linens are provided, just bring towels for the beach.
Cold a/c will keep you nice and cool between fishing trips.
You can enjoy fishing day and night on the private lighted pier. For boaters, there is easy access to both East and West Matagorda bays. We are located on a private road, so you don't have to worry about cars speeding by like the busy main beach road. Beautiful Matagorda beach is just a short 5 minute drive away. The public boat ramp at Riverbend is only about half a mile away.
The patio area below the house is concreted and always cool and breezy. Perfect for family gatherings, grilling, or a good crawfish, shrimp or crab boil. Be sure to bring string and chicken necks, the crabs are always biting off the pier.
For nature lovers, the birds are always enjoyable! Many species can be seen from the deck, including pelicans, herons, gulls, pipers and if you're lucky maybe even a Bald Eagle!
The house faces West bay, and in the evening the sunsets are beautiful. Bring your kayak and paddle out through St Mary's bayou , you can follow the marked kayak trails to East Bay. There is something for every one in Matagorda!
Come on, Go Barefoot!
- "We stay at Barefoot Bungalow every single year. We have done it for years and hope to do it for years to come. It is smaller than many other choices, but that adds to its charm for us. The fishing on the dock is a thrill that never ends and working with Sharon to make arrangements is also its own pleasure! Cannot recommend highly enough!" - "Property exactlt as advertised" - "We had a great time. It was a little small for 5 adults to share the space and one bathroom but we knew what we were getting into because the location being on the river was what we all wanted. It was so relaxing and the place is darling and comfortable"

The next to the last house on the Colorado River, and very close to the beach and jetty pier. Enjoy fishing on our pier, and a night spot light provides good fishing at night, especially sand trout during the summer. It is fully furnished with all kitchen utensils, and linens and towels are provided. We have free high speed Starlink satellite internet access (new for 2022), Dish network, and a washer and dryer is available for your convenience. In front of the house is a creek which runs out to East Matgorda, and is perfect for kayakers, and a great place to do some crabbing, also.
- "Our 3rd stay at the Natural Angler. We will be back. We always have a great time." - "Great location - this is the second time we’ve stayed here - always clean and comfortable" - "This house was phenomenal. Very clean and comfortable. For a coastal home we were amazed that there were technically no spiders or bugs running the inside. We would definitely be back. One suggestion. Water softener and charcoal filter. But place is awesome."

You and your guests will enjoy a memorable vacation in our family's renovated (2015) and fully furnished Matagorda Beach ocean-view condo on the Matagorda Peninsula. Our vacation rental property is located in the private, gated enclave of Bahia de Matagorda - adjacent to the Matagorda Nature Preserve and right across the Matagorda Dunes from the Matagorda Beach on the Gulf of Mexico. Whether you are visiting Matagorda to enjoy the beach, sight-see, bird-watch, surf, kayak, paddle board, hike/bike, hunt/fish or just relax - you've found the perfect spot from which to do it all!
The resort community of Bahia de Matagorda is located 1 mile off of Beach Road along FM2031 - across the bridge over the Intracoastal Waterway 7 miles south of the city of Matagorda. Matagorda Peninsula is located along the Gulf of Mexico between Galveston and Corpus Christi/Padre Island.
There is a ground floor covered, crushed granite patio with charcoal grill (with accessories, charcoal not provided) and DynaTrap mosquito system (helps reduce but does NOT eliminate mosquitos - we still recommend insect repellent). Adjacent to the driveway is a wide stairwell with solar lighting that leads to a large outdoor deck providing both living and dining options and beautiful views of the Matagorda Nature Preserve, Bahia de Matagorda catch-and-release lagoon, Matagorda Beach, Jetty Park and the Gulf of Mexico.
Upon entering our beach themed condo through the double French doors there is a dining area that seats four comfortably (additional granite breakfast bar seating for three). The main floor master bedroom has a king-sized bed, cathedral ceiling with ceiling fan and chest of drawers with flat screen with Amazon Fire Stick with Netflix, Disney+, Hulu and Amazon Prime Video access should you have accounts with them (remember to log off after use). The main floor bathroom opens off the living area. A separate vanity and water closet area offer privacy. The water closet also features a shower/tub combination.
The granite-countered kitchen is fully equipped with electric range/oven, microwave, coffeemaker, toaster, blender, ice maker and full size refrigerator. Dishes, silverware, pots/pans and all necessary utensils are there for your use. The breakfast bar offers additional bar stool seating for three.
The living room offers a memory-foam sleeper-sofa with coffee table (perfect for playing games/cards - several are on site for your pleasure) and two additional comfortable, over-sized rocker/swivel chairs. There is a flat screen tv loaded with streaming apps to stream should you have accounts with them (remember to log off after use).
A real (not spiral like most Bahia units) staircase leads you upstairs to a very large second bedroom overlooking the living area with 2 queen size beds, large built-in chest of drawers, breakfast bar, closet, reading nook with refrigerator, flat screen Vizio HDTV with apps for your streaming pleasure, should you have accounts with them (remember to log off after use).
If the beautiful scenery and abundance of outdoor activities don't suit (or it's raining) we have plenty of entertainment options available. Games, cards and dominoes are available for your use. Should you choose to stay connected to the rest of the world; internet with WiFi is provided. Cell service is very good on the peninsula.
If you've never been to Matagorda there is a great from Texas Highways Magazine that does really sums up Matagorda's many charms.
PLEASE NOTE: You and your guests safety and security is of the utmost importance to us! Bahia de Matagorda is a gated community and this unit was stripped to the studs in 2015 and professionally re-wired and updated. Additionally there are smoke and carbon monoxide detectors located in the unit, a fire extinguisher and a fire escape ladder available in the third floor closet for emergency exit from the unit should they ever be needed. The unit also features state-of-the-art WiFi thermostats with humidity control to ensure you and your guests comfort. Although our unit is NOT handicapped accessible we do provide grab bars and anti-slip mats for the bathtub/shower.
Please note that effective June 24, 2020 the management company of the complex has banned all smoking in the island/pool area, no exceptions.
- "Great views and close proximity to the beach! The house was clean and cozy and the bed was very comfortable! We didn't utilize the kitchen much but it had cooking equipment needed if you wanted too! The pool was in walking distance making it even more convenient. We highly recommend this rental." - "House was great. Quite gated community. Just short walk or drive to beach. Loved our stay there." - "The property was great. There was a mechanical issue with the AC, but the owner was very quick to respond to my texts and had the issue repaired immediately. I would definitely reccomend this property to anyone. The proximity to the beach is awesome and my kids loved that there was access to a pool as well. We will definitely stay there again!"

No damage from Hurricane Beryl, we are ready for you to book by the beach.
This cozy one bedroom house is just across the street from the dune path to the beach. Come enjoy a peaceful get away as you sit on the deck and watch the sunrise or the ocean while listening to the waves crash on the beach. This entire home features a basic kitchen with a vintage oven. The home also features a picnic table under the house for shaded eating. Enjoy the hammock and the porch swing under the house as well. Two sleeper sofas offer the ability for 2 more queen beds.
- "Loved staying here. Nice quaint little house. Neighborhood was nice and quiet. Beach is close by. I will be coming back. Only complaint I have is the add did say it had washer/dryer but this was not accessible." - "With nothing planned for a few upcoming days off and being in a position of not feeling beach sand between our toes in for some time, we decided we must remedy the situation. Having heard about Matagorda from friends, we quickly scanned the available rentals and found the little jewel named Casa de la Costa. There are grandeur homes, there are larger homes, there are homes beyond imagination, but Casa de la Costa looked perfect and was priced fantastically reasonable. The house is charming in its simplicity and far enough down the road that gave us an exclusivity feeling, too. There were literally nobody near by - an absolute blessing - after following the path over the dune, the beach appeared and was surprisingly wide with only a handful of people around - we felt we had a mile of beach front ownership for a mile both east and west. We found our perfect getaway spot that is close enough yet far enough from the daily grind in Houston. The house offers exactly what one;one needs tor a few days of rest and solitude. During our stay, my wife thinks we should sell everything and move based on the Casa de la Costa home and atmosphere, It is not a bad idea. The porch morning coffee with a view of the beach was perfect. In addition, Jim is an amazing host - he actually responds in a timely manner. Thank you Jim - thank you for a wonderful stay."

You can't beat the view of the Gulf waves from this 2 br - 2 bath second row beach property . This rental is for the entire upstairs unit, which includes a huge deck and enclosed sun porch. You won't believe the gorgeous sunrises as you take in your morning coffee on the sun porch or deck as you prepare to start your day. The sunsets from the deck are awe-inspiring too as is the view of the area surrounding the east bay from the rear of the deck.
Matagorda is THE get away from everyone and everything place! It's a laid-back beach community offering both the Colorado River and the Gulf of Mexico with two large bays to play in also. This is a fisherman's paradise. And, also a beach combers dream with 27 miles of beach to check out - you can drive on the beach and take your pets - you just need to purchase a beach pass first.
The house is brightly painted inside just as a beach rental should be and has a large deck and a shared fenced-in yard for pets. Sitting on two lots, there is plenty of space for you, your family and friends and all your water toys.
The items that set this rental apart from others in the area are it offers two bathrooms, 1,100 square feet, an enclosed sun porch, a huge deck and a fenced back yard. Think of the back yard as a dog park as it is a shared space with the downstairs unit where I live.
There is a picnic table, and small grill downstairs. You will need to provide charcoal. The front porch is a shared space.
Upstairs Bedroom 1: Queen size bed
Upstairs Bedroom #2: One twin-size bunk bed and a single twin bed (Sleeps 3)
We have beds for 5 people. The fee for additional guests is $30 person per night. The house has a septic system so we do not like to host more than 7 people. Larger groups and events must be specifically approved. Adding additional guests or having an event at the property without prior approval are grounds for termination of the rental agreement.
The whole home is two units -one upstairs and one downstairs. This rental is for the upstairs unit. The entry, parking and backyard are shared spaces.
The upstairs unit has two parking spaces in front of the house - in front of the third and fourth bays to the east.
Immediately upon entering the home, you will be in a foyer - the light for the entry is just past the door on your right and, the light for the top portion of the stairs is to your left on the first landing of the stairs.
I provide one roll of toilet paper for each bathroom and one roll of paper towels for each kitchen. There is one trash bag provided for each trash can. Please plan to bring enough of these staples for your stay.
There is a traditional Mr. Coffee-style coffeemaker. There is also a Keurig. You will need to provide your own coffee and filters. I have left a small amount of basic spices and there are kitchen utensils, dishes, silverware, cookware and some small appliances - all pretty basic. If you are planning on gourmet cooking, I recommend bringing your special gear.
Event note: An event is defined as having more than 5 guests in the home for ANY length of time. Additional guests strains the septic system and adds to the utility costs. I do not allow events in my rental space. Bringing additional guests beyond 5 is grounds for immediate termination of the rental agreement. Please communicate your plans in advance to avoid these types of issues.
There are two cameras on the property. One is the smart doorbell. There is another downstairs on the porch that covers the front porch, front door and parking areas.
There is a washer and dryer available for guest use. You’ll need to bring laundry supplies - liquid HE detergent ONLY.It is shared with the downstairs unit where I live. I ask that guests limit laundry use to one load per day and please leave the laundry basket by the machine as I don’t mind switching it out for you in case you get distracted having fun 🤩.
Please note: small dogs will be able to find their way out of the fenced in yard. Large dogs who like to dig will have no trouble creating a hole in this sandy soil. Please keep an eye on your pets. The dog yard is shared so please do not leave pets unattended in the yard. Think of it as a dog park. There is an extra fee for more than one dog of $15 per night. There is no fee for one pet.
We offer high-speed WiFi and Netflix. We do not have cable, a dishwasher or central air and heat. We do have window units that work really well. Step back from your every day life and enjoy some simpler days.
I work hard to keep my rental rates affordable. Please do not leave doors or windows open with heaters or ACs running. The home is cooled and heated by window HVAC units. If you are going in and out frequently, this will impact the home’s heating and cooling efficiency. Please see the note on the fridge for detailed instructions on keeping the upstairs heated/cooled. If you are someone who like a super cold environment, this is not the right space for you. Window units suck a lot of electricity! In the afternoon in the hottest part of the summer, the kitchen/living room temperature will not get below about 74. This is the time of day, I like to be on the beach or take a nap in one of the bedrooms. I ask that guests do not set the AC units below 70 degrees . I also ask that guests raise the temperature on the bedroom units to 76 when you are out of the home. This helps keep the rental rates low for everyone.
No bait or fish in refrigerators or freezers, please.
M is for Matagorda and Mosquitoes. Those pests can be viscous here when there is not a breeze. We do spray the property regularly but you should plan to bring your bug spray and use it liberally. Matagorda is a rural, undeveloped area. Expect to see some bugs. Scorpions also occasionally make their way into the home - be alert for them.
Any problems, such as repairs needed or missing items, must be relayed to the owner upon arrival.
I want to earn your five-star review so please let me know if there’s anything I can do to improve your stay. And contact me with any questions of anything at all you need. When I’m in town, I’m just downstairs should you need anything at all. I’m pretty laid back and work hard to stay out of my guests’ way. I want people to have a great time. Please play music and dance, if you like. It’s your vacation and I want you all to have fun. Not much phases me as long as my house is taken care of. My number one goal is for you to have a great trip.
I’m social if you wish to interact. I write for a living from home so you might not see me very much unless I’m enjoying my outdoor space on the front porch or doing yard work. But I am available should you need anything at all.
Thank you!
- "Perfect for those on a budget. The property host was amazing. The house was clean and comfortable, and quiet! No guesswork on expectations; we had everything we needed. Matagorda was rural town meets the Gulf. Friendly neighbors and good folk. Be sure to bring an extra pair of old flip-flops for the beach, and watch out for tar balls - sticky! - though we never saw what we stepped in, they are out there! Nice, quiet neighborhood; we enjoyed watching the armadillos wander about the brush behind the house this morning. All in all, it was a great trip to take our teenagers, my 76yr old father-in-law, and our two dogs."

Location was good, we were able to check in early, it was clean, and that BBQ shack next door is legit. It's a simple place with no oven/stove so as long as you don't need that then this place will meet your needs." - "Like it because it is close to everything in town.

This beachside bungalow is nothing fancy, but sure to amaze you with its fabulous views and sounds of the ocean waves. Enjoy the peaceful sunrise or sunset from the screened in patio, or head on over to the beach at just a 10 minute walk or a 1 minute drive to the beach park at the end of our street!
The bedroom has a king sized bed, and in the common area there is a queen and a full size bed. There is a fully stocked kitchen, as well as a full bathroom and 2 separate patios - one patio is screened in.
There is an outdoor shower to rinse off after the beach, a charcoal grill for guests to use and a Keurig coffee maker. The kitchen is stocked with the essentials, and all linens are provided. Wifi is also provided.
- "This spot was exactly what we needed. The house was nothing fancy but perfect for us. Comfortable home and bed. Great and peaceful view. Short drive to the beach and quiet street." - "I loved the band of green space through the dunes between the house and the beach. The deer each morning eating blackberries along with other birds and wildflowers were very relaxing. The pictures look as if you could walk to the beach, however, you can not. It isn’t far to the beach, it just needs to be noted in the advertisement that the mowed strip is to the top of the first row of dunes and you cannot walk through the green space field with cattails to get to the beach. We had a great visit!"

Welcome to GORDA GETAWAY a beautiful custom home at a great location with easy quick access to the beach or the river. While relaxing on the front balcony having your morning coffee you can enjoy the stellar views of the ocean and Colorado River.
- "I stayed here 3 nights with a 5 year old, 2 year old, wife, and small dog. House sits a few hundred yards from the beach. We drove down the street and onto the beach- definitely recommend 4x4 if driving on the beach. The house had everything we needed and was very clean. The host was responsive and courteous. Overall we would absolutely stay here again, we rate the stay 9/10. Only recommendation to make this home 10/10 would be to do away with the colored lights on the balcony that come on at night- they can be quite distracting when looking at stars. And the chairs sit too low to where the balcony completely blocks the view from the amazing vantage point you have with this patio! 2 small changes to elevate this stay from great to perfect :)"

- "Had a wonderful time" - "Enjoyed the stay. Plenty of room for 5 of us to go down and stay while fishing. Easy to communicate with the host who answered any questions we had promptly. Quiet area and easy to get in and out." - "Love coming to Matagorda and finding a beach house right on Beach Front Drive or Dunes Drive. This one backs to the beach so you have beach views from the porch or from inside the living room/kitchen area with the blinds open. Spacious living areas inside, though the bedrooms are sort of small...but you should be out at the beach most of the time when staying here. The mosquitos are quite fierce, especially this time of year, so bring bug spray. Also, the charcoal grill worked perfectly so make sure you bring charcoal and lighter fluid. The owner checked in on us via the app during our stay but we were all set. We didn't have any problems whatsoever. The water out of the kitchen sink did have a bit of a bad taste to it, but I've never stayed at a beach house in Matagorda with good tasting water so this was not a problem either...just make sure you're stocked up on plenty of bottled water. Can't recommend a Matagorda beach stay enough and this house was definitely on the upper end of the places we have stayed in the last 15 summers of visits."

The cabin sleeps up to 6 guests, with two bedrooms and a sleeper sofa in the living room. The kitchen has all the basics for cooking up your catch, and the living area is a great place to relax after a day outdoors.

- "Not fancy but a nice little place to stay. One downside super shallow in front of the pier maybe 1 to 1.5 foot maybe 2 foot max. " - "Definitely not fancy but suited our family of 3 needs very well. The kitchen is small but very functional and stocked with everything you need. We spent most of our time outside on the dock and were able to catch a few fish and crabs, it was nice watching the boats come up and down the river. Overall great stay for the price!"

- "Great place, amazing owner. This is our go to when in matagorda" - "Its a little far to get to the beach but with the beach pass and a 4 wheel drive vehicle it is still fun." - "Nice property location, close to the beach but not close enough to deal with huge summer crowds. Nice clean house with a huge pool. We will definitely be returning for years to come!" - "We thoroughly enjoyed our time and Patti is an amazing host! Having the pool to relax in after going to the beach was great and we needed that trip for relaxation. We were there after hurricane beryl and Patti made sure everything looked as if there had been no hurricane. Clean up and check out process was easy! Thank you Patti!!"

You'll find yourself waking up to beautiful sunrises over East Matagorda Bay and at day's end, watching spectacular sunsets from our deck overlooking West Matagorda Bay. See your boat in the water at our spacious dock.
The house comfortably sleeps 8 persons with two private bedrooms and two bathrooms. Everything is furnished except your personal items. Upstairs has a great porch overlooking the river and lighted fishing pier. 2 bedroom, 2 bath, this fishing cabin is comfy.
- "Great location on the river. Ad. states 2 bedroom, 2 bath but one bathroom in downstairs which means that everyone upstairs has to share one bathroom. A good portion of the dock had been demolished by recent storms I presume but still enough area to fish. Did not do so well on the sand trout but did catch a lot of crabs and a couple of flounder. Overall....OK." - "I never received an email with property details and code for the door, so when we arrived I had to call the property manager and after an hour went by called again. When she finally returned the call and gave us the door code it still didnt work. We sent my 11 yr old through an unlocked window to get the door open. We quickly found out there is only 1 working bathroom and one of the beds had an ant infestation. There was vomit in the second bathroom downstairs and junk in the washing room so it was diificult to get to. My daughter pointed out a bullet hole through her window and we had to replace the green light on the dock and buy an extension cord for the outside lights. The cutlery and pots and pans were greasy and some were rusted and not a sharp knife in the place. One of the bedrooms was still under construction and the outside porch pillars were rotted. We ended up having to leave a window unlocked because the door lock never unlocked with the code and thats when my dad noticed the door was hung crooked. Thankfully we didnt spen alot of time there and spent most of it on the beach or outside fishing or in bay city. If this property was mine I would not have rented it out at all."

Hi and welcome! Kick back and relax during your stay. 2 br/2 ba beach property 2nd row upstairs unit - see the waves clearly from deck. Bring your pet where there is a fenced yard for your use. You won't believe the gorgeous sunrises as you prepare to start your day. Matagorda is a hidden gem on the Gulf Coast - a laid-back community offering the Colorado River, the Gulf and two large bays - a fisherman's paradise and beachcombers dream with 27 miles of beach
The space
Enjoy the huge deck overlooking the Gulf or take in the sunrise with your morning coffee on the enclosed sun porch as you look out over the Gulf.
Please note, this listing is for the upstairs unit. This home has two seperate spaces - one upstairs and one downstairs. I live in the downstairs unit. I am very chill and want my guests to have the very best vacation. I enjoy sharing my home with others. I love music and hearing my guests enjoy themselves.
Immediately upon entering the home through the front door, you will be in a foyer with the staircase to access the upstairs just to your left -the light for the entry is just past the door on your right and, the light for the top portion of the stairs is to your left on the first landing of the stairs. The door to the right as you enter the foyer is to the downstairs unit where I live.
When you enter the upstairs, you will be on the sun porch. Access to the living room is through a heavy sliding glass door to your left and access to the deck is at the other end of the sun porch.
Note: the light and fan switches for the kitchen upstairs are located INSIDE the built in bookshelf. Don't ask me why. It took me two weeks to locate them and was only discovered when we started painting. LOL
The house is brightly painted inside just as a beach rental should be and has a large deck and a shared fenced in yard for pets. Sitting on two lots, there is plenty of space for you, your family and friends and all your water toys.
The house is not fancy but we find it to be comfortable.
I provide one roll of toilet paper for each bathroom and one roll of paper towels for the kitchen. There is one trash bag provided for each trash can. Please plan to bring enough of these staples for your stay.
There is a 12-cup Mr. Coffee unit and a Keurig. You will need to provide your own coffee and filters. I have left a small amount of basic spices and there are kitchen utensils, dishes, silverware, cookware and some small appliances - all pretty basic. If you are planning on gourmet cooking, I recommend bringing your special gear.
Again, the home consists of two units - one upstairs and one downstairs - the entryway, laundry, parking and yard are shared spaces. For parking, the upstairs unit has two spaces available - the third and fourth bays.
Event/Party Note: an event is defined as having more than five guests in the home for ANY length of time. I am on a septic system. More people puts too much of a strain on that system. More people also means more utilities. I do not allow events in my rental space. Bringing additional guests beyond five for ANY length of time is grounds for immediate termination of the rental agreement. Please communicate your plans in advance to avoid these types of issues.
There is a washer and dryer available for guest use. Please bring HE LIQUID detergent if you plan to use the washer and dryer. They are shared with the downstairs area, where I live. I ask that guests limit laundry to one load per day and to be sure to quickly remove laundry when finished. Please leave the laundry basket (to be found upstairs in the laundry hamper) near the washer as I don't mind switching it out for you in case you get distracted. :o)
I rent the home in an effort to make ends meet and try to keep the rental rates affordable so updates are made as the budget allows.
I live here in the downstairs unit. I am very laid back and don't get in my guest's way. You all are here on vacation to have fun. Please play your music and dance if you want. Have a great time. Not much phases me as long as guests aren’t destructive. I am social if you wish to interact. I write from home to make a living so you probably won't see me very much but I am available should you need anything at all.
This is a pet-friendly rental and smoking is allowed OUTSIDE only. This means it is not a completely smoke or pet hair free rental environment. Guests who smoke are responsible for ensuring their butts are disposed of in trash bags before departure.
Each of the upstairs bedrooms offers its own bathroom.
Upstairs Bedroom 1: Queen size bed
Upstairs Bedroom #2: One bunk bed and one twin size bed
Living Room: Full-size sofa
We have beds for 5 people. Rental rates are for up to five guests. Additional charges apply for more than 5 guests and must be approved in advance by owner.
Pets: One pet is allowed at no additional charge. There is a $15 fee per night per additional pets. Please communicate with me in advance the number of pets in your party. Pets must be fully housebroken, meaning no potty pads, and must not bark continuously if left alone in the space.
No bait or fish in refrigerators or freezers, please.
There is a fenced back yard for use with your pets. Think of it as a dog park. You will need to clean up your pet feces as you would in a dog park. Please check that gates are closed and secured prior to releasing your pets in this area. And, be sure to latch gate back when exiting the back yard. Please do not leave pets unattended in the back yard as this is a shared space where my dogs also utilize this space. Very small dogs may be able to find a way to escape the yard so use caution with small pets.
Please do not leave doors and windows open with the AC running so we can keep the rates affordable. The home is cooled by window HVAC units. If you are going in and out frequently, this will impact the home’s cooling efficiency. If you are someone who likes a super cold environment, this is probably not the right rental for you. In the afternoons, the upstairs living room and kitchen stay at about 76. This is the time of day, I like to be on the beach, take an afternoon nap in the bedroom or hang out outside. Please do be mindful of the energy usage so that I can keep the rental rates low.
Guest access
You will have access to the entire upstairs area, including the huge deck where you can see the Gulf and hear the waves. Upstairs guests have two parking spaces - the 3rd and fourth parking bays in the front of the house (The two spots to the east.)
Other things to note
In comparison to other rentals in the area, I offer two bathrooms, an enclosed sun porch and a very large deck. Pets are allowed and there is a shared back yard area.
The nearest large grocery store is in Bay City. Plan to stop and do your grocery shopping on your way in as it is about 30 miles north.
Please note - we are on the beach. The home is thoroughly cleaned and sanitized after every stay. With that said, we do allow pets and the Gulf breeze is steady - you know what they say about sand, right? It gets in everything!
We offer high-speed WiFi and Netflix. We do not have cable, a dishwasher or central air and heat. We do have window units that work really well. Step back from your everyday life and enjoy some simpler days.
I, personally, painted the home and hope you enjoy the bright, beachy colors. I hope you can see the love and care taken with this home and will take sweet care of it while you are here.
You can drive on the beach and take your pets - you just need to purchase a beach pass first. Be careful though. It’s easy to get stuck in the sand without 4-wheel drive.
More updates are planned for the future and I am always open for suggestions. So, please do let me know anything I can do to improve future visits.
M is for Matagorda and Mosquitoes. Those pests can be viscous here when there is not a breeze. We do spray the property regularly but you should plan to bring your bug spray and use it liberally. This is a rural environment. Expect bugs. Although we do spray consistently and regularly, palmetto bugs, marsh bugs, and spiders make their way inside. They generally die shortly after entering. Scorpions also do occasionally make their way inside the house - be alert for them. I wish I could keep all pests out but it is just not possible in this environment.
Leaving the doors or windows open will quickly result in a house full of bugs, and also will mean the house is not able to cool itself well.
Leaving the refrigerator open for an extended period and loading it with semi-cooled items will mean the fridges need some time to catch up. Give it overnight to cool everything down completely.
Caution
Use particular caution in the sand dunes. The mosquitoes are in full attack mode in the dunes. The dunes are also home to rattlesnakes so be on the alert when crossing through them.
Check Out:
Wash dishes, dry and put away prior to departure.

Leave used beds unmade upon departure.

If your pets shed a lot, please do your best to remove their hair. If there is excessive hair, my housekeeper charges an additional fee that I will have to pass along to you.
Remove all trash from house and place in outside garbage bins. Guests are limited to two bags of trash every 2-3 days. Haul away any excess trash and large bulky trash items. Trash pick up is on Wednesday.
