Matagorda Weekend

The little cottage was very clean and comfortable. It was only 30 minutes from the beach which was very convenient. The home did not seem to match the neighborhood.

Nice, comfortable Bay City stay

The house was very clean and very nice. In a good location, Bay City has everything you can possibly need. The only down side is that the driveway to the house gets very muddy in the rain and may require 4-wheeled drive.

Heidi was beyond welcoming, kind, and helpful! She helped us out when she didn’t have to due to flight cancellations. I look forward to working with Heidi in the future, a phenomenal host that I would recommend everyone!
