  We have been going to the Texas coast to celebrate our anniversary for the last 10 years or so (when we can get away for it). We have always enjoyed Port Aransas, but the last two times it had gotten more commercialized and busy, so we decided to try a less busy place. We found it. If you aren't a fisherman or birdwatcher, there isn't a lot to do in Matagorda - in other words, perfect! We thoroughly enjoyed out stay - Thursday and Friday, we had the beach to ourselves, and the other houses on the street were empty. Friday night, the other houses started filling up, and Saturday there were people on the beach, but nothing like you'd see in Port Aransas or South Padre. Even then, all we had to do was go back to the house and sit on the deck, watch the waves and hear the roar of the surf - aahhhhh. The house is clean and well maintained, and had all the amenities we needed to cook with. A totally enjoyable stay - thank you!

  Thanks Rick, We really enjoyed the house and the beach! My friend and I didn't want to leave, but we now know where to go when we come back. The town is laid back, the beach was basically empty. Dax, Remington, and Rocket really enjoyed the beach too! They are part of our family and since you're pet friendly we didn't have to leave part of our family at home. Thanks again Rick...

  Rick: We had a great time at Matagorda, the beach house fit our need very nicely. This was the first time we made a trip without having excretions lined up to keep us too busy. It was time to be layed back and enjoy the world around us. Leona did a great job checking for our needs. The fishing guide you recommended made my fishing a real treat. We enjoyed the ocean and our dog really had a great time. The people in Matagorda are the most friendly and cordial we have ever met. Thanks for the return of the deposit. Phil Anderson

  Rick, Richard and I plus the our two Chesapeake's had a memorable time at Matagorda Beach this week. Your beach house was just what we needed. We found a welcoming, clean, home away from our home. The view was spectacular and the mattress was perfect. We enjoyed Spoonbills for dinner and breakfast on the screen porch. We hope to make this a tradition. Appreciate you and your wife inviting dog lovers to the beach. From TX, Thanks The Pollards

  Rick, As I said in our email, being originally from Bay City, I was very impressed with your Beach House. Me and my high school friends had stayed at other houses and none were equipped with the emenities that your house had. You also have your own private walk across the dunes to the beach. I was there just 2 years ago and now they have made that part a private beach where no one can drive on it. It was like we owned the beach. There was no one on it even on the weekend. We will be back, it was great.... Thanks so much, Jean

  Wonderful time. Screened-in porch was great. Wonderful view of the beach and the gulf without even leaving the house! Quiet beach was a great change from the chaos of other Texas beach towns. Can't wait to come back again! Thank you.

  Thank you so much for allowing us to use your wonderful home!!!! We had a great time! We celebrated our daughters 7th birthday there and she had a wonderful time. She almost didn't want to come home! You had things available that made our stay very comfortable. We will without a doubt be coming back!!!

  Rick & Dianne Thanks for the use of the beach house and location. The house was well cleaned and ample supplies of cooking equipment. We felt compelled to wash linens before we left just because of the pleasant surprise the clean warmth the place offered open entering the house. Table Shrimp purchased from a nearby Bait House provided a very good meal as well as some fish caught of the Matagorda pier to the jetties. We enjoyed the peaceful relaxation offered by the sound of the gulls overhead while watching the ocean. The scenery of the water was very pleasing and the breeze was enjoyable sitting on the open deck watching the quarter moon and stars. A few early morning and late night strolls on the moon lit beach were just the prescription we needed from todays rushed life. Thanks again and have a terrific and blessed week.

  My gosh I had so much fun last week!!! I really did not want to come back. I was ready to buy a yellow muumuu and send a post card to my kids with my new beach address. The house was great and I appreciate you letting us stay. I ALMOST fell in love there, but thankfully I quit drinking wine coolers and quickly came to my senses. Thanks again for everything! Trish
