Magnolia beach Hoffman family vacation 2025

We had a blast at Magnolia beach! Lots of fishing at chocolate bayou, magnolia beach fishing marina, and the port lavaca pier! Even whent swimming at the port lavaca community pool! Tonjas house is amazing, and neighbor Judy is such a doll! It was a great place to stay and a wonderful home base while we were down there having fun! Will definitely book this house again in the future!

Cozy Beach Cottage

The property was as advertised. Fishing from the public pier was excellent, caught a lot of black drum. Definitely must stop down at the marina for dinner and make sure you bring your fishing pole.

Tonya and Martin are great hosts and respond quickly although there was seldom a need to contact them as the property is well appointed and generally in good repair. Love the porch and outside areas and all the extras that are there for guest use. Wonderful area with lots of options for walks, fishing, etc. Highly recommend this property for longer stays.

Not just a beach house.

When you first get to the house that wrap around porch is really nice . The decorations inside and outside wear charming. This house was cozy and felt like home . Also we enjoyed the beds very comfortable and house was very clean . We would stay again .

Perfect place for our family's last getaway before all are off. The porch which was in the shade most of the day was a favorite spot! 😍 And of course the beach and fishing was so fun! A great house!

Peaceful

Awesome property, everything we needed to enjoy our stay was available. Only thing I didn't like was that I had to take my trash with me everyday and find a dumpster nearby. Other than that property is very cozy and relaxing.

So relaxing!!!

We really enjoyed our stay in Magnolia Beach. It was just the escape from our busy lives that we need. The house was stocked with everything from kitchen utensils to plenty of blankets and sheets to board games. All we had to do was show up with our food and clothes! We will be back!! :)

Nice and quiet and relaxing

We really enjoyed the quiet, the porch and nice neighbors. They were just a few things that need to be updated. There were no batteries for the livingroom ceiling fan/light. The Wii also had dead batteries. The owners were very quick to answer any questions on the VRBO app.

50th Birthday celebration vacation

I decided to celebrate my 50th Birthday ( Normally it is just another day for me ) at the coast with my kids and grandkids , looked over multiple listings and decided on this one because the reviews were all excellent. Well add me and my family to the list of excellent reviews , we absolutely loved this place. I have worked in full service hotels and resorts for over 15 years , the successful properties all have a couple of things that make them better then the rest ( 1 ) Clean Property , this house is well kept and was clean & comfy ( 2 ) Make your guest fell like they are at home and they will want to come back , We were so relaxed here , had everything we needed including games and activities for kids , Great BBQ Pit , Porch was very relaxing. We made some great memories this past weekend and we will be returning one day soon. Thank You
