Always a great stay!
We've booked the Howdy River House a few times now and always enjoy our stay. It has everything you need to have a comfortable holiday and fits our family and friends perfectly. We will definitely be booking again in the future.
Yes the host was welcoming, amenities that stood out were the lighted fishing pier, ice maker, bait livewell, shop freezer , bathroom downstairs, patio chairs and parking area.
Such a special spot to live and breath the TX coast. Definitely recommend for anyone looking for a quiet but easily accessible spot.

Great House
Property was perfect for our family stay.
It was clean, well stocked and as shown in photos. The storage room on ground level with ice maker and the boat lift were especially helpful! Hope to stay again soon!

Perfect Home Away from Home
My husband and I enjoy taking our grandchildren to Matagorda and this is our favorite house to stay in. It fits our group of 6 perfectly and meets all our needs for an amazing vacation. We all enjoy the proximity of the beach and fishing off the pier in the evenings.

It was a perfect vacation~~~
I was so out of it I forgot to leave a review.
There were a few minor issues, but...
it was the perfect accommodation for me.
The location, cleanliness, service—everything was great.
I plan to go back again in December.
The area is very peaceful....the breeze was very nice!! For sure will rent again!

Perfect Home Away from Home
We always enjoy our stay at the Howdy House! It is perfect for our family and fully meets or exceeds all of our expectations. My grandkids love to catch fish off the dock in the evenings and it is a short trip to the sunny beach. The Howdy House is always clean and inviting. We have several more stays at this property scheduled this summer and are truly looking forward to our upcoming visits!
We chose this one because of the dock and boat lift. We got so much more. The deck, dock and outdoor living spaces were over the top. Very nice and comfortable outdoor furniture. Great fishing amenities and walking distance to bait shop and launch. Ample parking, even with a boat trailer. Five stars.

The howdy house is amazing!!!
Our family loves the howdy house! It meets all of our families needs perfectly. The lights on the fishing pier and the extra refrigerator and ice maker are a great bonus! We travel to Matagorda several times a year and always stay at the howdy house.
Went for trout blast took customers and CI workers but will definitely be back with the wife.
Great location compared to other houses we have rented and nice and reasonably priced
We had such a great time and this home is amazing. These owners put a lot of thought into everything at this property. River is beautiful and beach was too! We will definitely rent this one again!!
