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 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.

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!

Five star stay at Matagorda

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.
