Matagorda is noted for it's great beach, fishing & birding. You can drive on 20 miles of beach. Fishing, shelling and birding is always good. This is not like Galveston with herds of people. The only herds are cattle that you may see behind the beach grazing on winter grass.
All you have to bring is food, beach towels & your favorite toys. Kitchens are fully furnished, with enough supplies for several days. Condos are right next to the club house and pool. Just walk out your door and cross the bridge. You are just a short walk to the sand dunes, cross them and you are on the beach or you can get a beach permit from the local stores and drive on the beach.

The stay was very nice. We enjoyed almost having the pool to ourselves the entire trip. We were close enough to the beach to walk and the river was on the other side of the main road so access to great fishing from both directions. Throughly enjoyed our stay
Loved the property and the pool! So quiet and peaceful! We brought our own food and cooked the whole time because we knew there weren’t many restaurants that were close. It was perfect!
Our family took a quick before school beach vacation and decided to stay at this wonderful condo. The location is great as it is right by one of the local beaches. Not walking distance necessarily, but you can drive there in less than 2 mins. The condo also has a great pool that you can chill at all day. Overall, we had a fantastic stay and would recommend to anyone interested in a beach getaway.

We really enjoyed our weekend in Matagorda. The condo was very clean and slept 5 adults very easily. We also appreciated the owners being dog friendly and allowing us to take our Golden Retriever. It is only 2 hours from Houston so we will go back again.

The online roces was simple and quick. Condo management reach via text and email. The condo estate is gated with a code. The condo was well maintained and clean. The condo is right off the beach! My family has rented from this area 4 times.

We were just looking for a quiet place to spend some family time. We stayed in condo #2 right after Labor Day. The condo was clean and comfortable and very quiet. The beach was also pretty unpopulated.

Well I liked it when I stayed in Matagorda it was very nice and peaceful , and the surf was off the hook , I was the only surfer out there whats up with that ? It was very mellow can't ask for anything more !!!
My Fiancé and I needed a quick getaway that wasn’t too far from home and this beach condo was perfect. Location to beach was so convenient and the fully stocked kitchen and amenities were so nice when preparing our dinner. The mattress was so comfortable - need to get the brand! John was very communicative and helped me through questions in directions, how to work the lock and what I needed to do to get Netflix on the TV. We enjoyed watching the sun set on the back patio. Definitely recommend for anyone that wants a clean well decorated cozy space conveniently located to the beach.

We arranged a week's visit here on the WEB, taking what we considered a big gamble in order to see young relatives who had just moved to TX; spent Christmas week in Condo 1 and found it just right for us, 2 small dogs, and visitors. The well-equipped kitchen made preparing the wonderful seafood available nearby too easy (!), good FM radio, PBS on the TV, a great table for jigsaw puzzles, amazingly nice weather, and the beautiful beach for great walks. Considerate and helpful owners (does everybody get a bag full of ripe avocados?). Definitely worth a second or third or fourth visit! Thanks!

Dirty and very dated. Mightve been a nice place in the 70s
Ive stayed here twice. Both times the owner has been nothing but rude to me upon checkout. This place is not worth the hassle unless its last minute and everything else is booked.
The place is a dump, its outdated, the bed is disgusting, the sheets look like they are from the 1980s, the pillows are brown and old, the towels are moldy, there is mold in the shower, the dishes are dirty, the appliances are from the 80s (literally) , the AC turns off mid day, the internet is slow, the grill is rusted out, the common grounds are in disrepair and pool is filthy The stairs are rusty with sharp edges and very dangerous for children. The deck has exposed nails and splinters. The kitchen table is covered in plastic wrap. The owner hasn't put a dime into this place and freaks out if a closet light is left on at checkout.
This is not a nice place to take your family.
At first glance, we weren't quite sure if the grandkids would enjoy being so far away from everything. There are no rollercoasters, arcades or fast paced "entertainment" options. We were in town for our 6 year old to run in the Jr. Olympics in Houston. We were 2.5 hours from the meet and it was so nice to leave the chaos and come back to the quiet! We swam EVERY day in the gorgeous pool and we spent lots of time at the beach. The kids are 6 and 4 and they absolutely loved our time at Matagorda. We took a day trip to Galveston which was a blast! Our favorite food was cooking fresh seafood at home from Buddy's. PS Love the decor!!
If you are looking to get away from it all, then this is your place! The remote condo offers a great view of the community pool and ocean. Be prepared to make full use of the kitchen (which is well stocked with dishware) as some of the handful of restaurants in Matagorda are closed and one burnt down... leaving Bay City (30 mins away) as the primary source for groceries and restaurants. The kayak and watersports business also closed in the last year and the kids got bored of just the pool and the beach after about 4 days. The only real detractor was the millions of mosquitos in the area, that seemed immune to the copious amounts of off we applied to ourselves. The local residents said this was due to an inordinate amount of rain this year. Overall a 4/5 star rating for us.
Very close to the places we wanted to go and nice on site amenities!

Matagorda condo
Had a glitch on getting into condo somehow our reservation was mixed up with another unit which was occupied. Owner replied
to my text. Only said I'm driving, and I sent you all info via email. Which I never received. My brother called from his phone and he answered after the first ring. This was disappointing especially when the mosquitoes were carrying us away. The unit had been leaking and carpet was wet. Of course it needs attention. Hopefully we'll have better luck next time.
