Staying at the Seaesta Shack was a great getaway for our family. The house was comfortable and relaxing. Just far enough from town for some quiet, close enough to the beach for a quick walk in the waves. Jess is quick to respond with any questions or concerns. We look forward to coming back.
The house was clean, comfortable and as described. My family and I had a great time and even caught four keeper flounder off the pier. We expect to stay here again.

Thank you so much for your kind review! We’re glad to hear the house was just what you expected and that your family had a great time—especially with those flounder catches off the pier! We’d love to welcome you back anytime.
The property was more then we ever expected. Beautiful inside and out. The fishing was great, the beach was close and perfect conditions. The only thing we would recommend is a handrail going up to the bedrooms, for the elderly and ppl with bad knees. We would live to stay here again in the future. Totally going to recommend this place.
We had a great stay . Very clean . The stairs were a little tricky since there was nowhere to hold on to and father in law did have a little trouble but we managed it . We loved the pier and green light !
The house was clean and uncluttered, making it easy to come in and enjoy. Love sitting by the river, watching boats and people go by. We would stay here again.
The house and the weather was just perfect. We stay in Matagorda every year for the last 15 years and this would have to be one of my favorite homes we’ve stayed in. Very clean, very homey and spacious. Can’t wait to stay here again!
We truly enjoyed our stay here at Matagorda. The location was great with a nice dock for fishing. Enjoyed by our whole party. House itself is well laid out and very comfortable. Kitchen is super well-stocked with cooking utensils and cookware (more so than the usual rental) which was appreciated! Overall great stay and hope to stay again soon.
Beautiful, clean property with all of the comforts of home. Great location for relaxing and for ease of access to fishing opportunities. Greta communication with owners and easy check in and check out process. We have stayed here 3 times and always want to come back for more

Thank you Haley! So glad you guys enjoyed your stay!
The house was comfortable and clean and had all of the amenities we wanted. It was in a good location in respect to the beach and shops in town and provided good fishing from the dock. The owners communicated well and made sure we had everything we needed.
We really enjoyed our stay. The kids had so much fun fishing off the deck catching fish & crabs. The house was cozy and had everything we needed. Plus, it's in a great location. They are ready to go back!

Welcome Home! Whether you've just arrived or spent the entire day in the car, the great news is that you are finally home. So, take off your shoes, grab your favorite beverage, sit back, relax, and make yourselves comfortable! Allow me to take a moment to introduce you to our loving family. My wife Rebecca and I have been happily married for 17 wonderful years, and together we are raising three incredible children. Growing up in Texas, we both come from humble beginnings, raised by hardworking blue collar parents who instilled in us the values of determination, diligence, and a relentless pursuit of success in everything we do. As our family has grown, we have found immense joy in creating unforgettable vacation experiences and exploring new horizons together. Following a family tragedy in 2016, our travels became more frequent and profound, sparking our passion for establishing a small family business. Our goal is to provide other families, like ours, with the opportunity to enjoy the breathtaking beauty of the Texas coast. We want to assure you that we have poured our hearts, souls, and endless amounts of effort into creating this beach house experience. Our journey has been marked with sacrifices, hard work, and tears, all with the fervent hope of delivering the exceptional experience your family deserves. From catching those big fish to making memories that will last a lifetime, we have wholeheartedly devoted ourselves to making your stay truly remarkable.
