Another perfect stay

The host was great as always, setting crab traps for us and always making himself available to answer questions. The property is amazing, as you get to fish the creek and the bay at the same time. We will be back ASAP for a 4th stay soon!

Our stay at the Round House in Indianola was exactly what we needed for a peaceful, family-friendly getaway. Our grandkids had an absolute blast—fishing and crabbing were just steps from the house, with no long drives or crowded piers to worry about.The location is ideal—just a short drive to the Indianola Marina, where we grabbed a quick bite and launched our boat with ease. Whether you're looking to unwind or spend quality time outdoors, this spot delivers.If you're searching for a well-located, relaxing home base for fishing, crabbing, and making lasting family memories, the Round House is a fantastic choice.

This beach house was everything we hoped for and more. From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was pure relaxation—peaceful, scenic, and just steps from incredible fishing spots. The hosts went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable and memorable. Their hospitality truly made us feel at home.Throughout our trip, friends and family kept asking how they could book the same place—it’s that special. We were thoroughly impressed with every detail, from the cozy accommodations to the thoughtful touches that made the experience seamless.If you're looking for a serene getaway with great fishing and exceptional hosts, this is the place. We’re already planning our return!

If you like nature and peace this is the place for you. I enjoyed the stay we caught small reds from deck and bait fish. The crab traps where a plus. Robert was great to talk to and very knowledgeable of the area. I will be back.

Great location and extras!

The location was perfect for our avid fisher-boys! Being able to walk right out and have the fish feet from the house was perfect for everyone. The owners put out crab traps and provided extra turkey necks to reload them as needed during our stay. Additionally, there was crab boil, pots, and propane available for us to use.The kids had a blast! Many of them, never having that whole experience before! The weather was great, outdoor area was perfect and the set-up for cooking, cleaning fish, grilling outside on a charcoal grill couldn’t have been better! Having a washer and dryer was an added must-have when you are dealing with fish, crabs, and kiddos! We appreciate having the Tide pods there too! Beds were comfortable and sheets were clean:) The only real suggestions would be to get the a/c updated or serviced. It had a hard time keeping up. And giving the place a good deep cleaning. Overall, it was a great trip! We will consider booking again in the future! overall was the

Great location for weekend fishing

We needed a place for a long weekend for fishing, and this was perfect for that. 30 minutes from Port O'Connor, 3 minutes from Indianola marina boat launch. And you can fish from the dock in the back. We caught many small fish and a couple of decent sized fish there. Owner greeted us on checkin and showed us how to handle the crab pots. Over 30 crabs total caught in the pots. House is small but this was a good base camp for our long weekend fishing.

Why they chose this property

We have been fishing and crabbing out here for years. We were great friends with the people who owned it, so when it came up for sale, we knew we needed to buy it. We continue to come out and enjoy our property, but would also like to share it with others so they can make lasting memories as well.

What makes this property unique

Surrounded by water, beautiful sun rise and sunsets, lots of amazing fishing and crabbing
