About this property

Siesta Tortuga at Magnolia Beach 500ft from fishing pier at Matagorda Bay

You won’t forget your time in this romantic Siesta Tortuga. She is small but everything you need is here and the AC is cold! All the conveniences of camping without the roughing it part. We are 500 ft from the Magnolia fishing pier and steps from the beach. Historic Indianola Fishing Marina is just 1.5 miles down the road. The sun is bright and the fishing is right!

Comfortable stay

With a location a few feet from the beach, this furnished camper is a great getaway spot. It was clean and the area was quiet. There is an outside sitting area with a grill. Inside you will find a refrigerator, stove, coffee maker, and an air fryer. Check in was very easy and the owners were kinda enough to turn on the ac before we got there. Price and local are ideal for fun. Will definitely rent again.

Host needs hospitality lessons. She was offensive, & rude because I was unable to open a broken lock

I was unable to unlock camper, as was my adult girlfriend. Host returned once to open it up, & quickly left. Her 20 something y/o daughter was nice, & returned 2x to open it up. Finally I decided to not try, & lock it, so it was left open the whole stay.

Perfect Beach Getaway! I absolutely loved my stay at this beach/fishing/crabbing paradise! The location was unbeatable — just steps away from the sand and ocean and fishing pier. The trailer was clean, well-appointed and had everything I needed for a comfortable stay. Outdoor amenities included a table, chairs, a hammock, BBQ grill, firepit and sun shade. There was also a picnic table. Indoor amenities included a Ninja air fryer, an electric skillet, a coffee maker (pods), towels, sheets, blankets, a space heater and nice, cold AC. The host was friendly and responsive. The trailer is located on the main road through town, which has traffic of about 10 cars per hour, so basically none. Magnolia Beach is an amazing place. The wildlife is amazing, with tons of birds and butterflies. It is completely unspoiled by the worst of the modern world. It has a rich history and is like stepping back in time. Everyone waves. I visited with my large dog and every single beach is dog friendly, the walks are amazing. I can’t recommend this place enough for anyone looking for a relaxing coastal escape. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Disappointment

No internet; no TV antenna-there was a dvd player, but nothing was hooked up: tiny little cracker box. Sewer had no outlet-had to contact the host to get relief from the odor. No place to put our food items-all of the cabinets were packed full of blankets and sheets. Travelled 600 miles for a big disappointment-learned a whole lot from this trip! Left a day early.

Property is exactly as posted. For $45 a night I am not sure what more I could have done for you. We pride ourselves on providing a comfortable space for an affordable price 500ft from the water. I responded and handled all of your requests. I saw you and your husband out riding your side by side everyday. WiFi is operable and was used during your stay by our other guest. Not sure what issues you had other than high winds and a metal structure which is beyond my control. Only two cabinets are with blankets 3 other large cabinets empty of food storage, and hanging clothes. Seems you should possibly spend more money next time for larger accommodations.

Siesta tortuga

The place was nice, very convenient and closely located to the waterfront. Inside was decorated very cute. Cleanliness of the inside was not what I would call top notch. It smelled nice like air freshener but not like “clean” if that makes sense. The floor was not clean and the sheets didn’t seem very clean either. There was lots of dirt in the bed our first night. Lighting on the outside would have been nice. There was only one solar light outside that was very dim. For the nightly price I obviously wouldn’t ask for anything more. In my opinion I wouldn’t charge so much on the cleaning fee if it’s not going to be actually cleaned. Overall cute place, nice people, good location!
