Place was beautiful and we had a great quiet time. It was too cold and windy for fishing but everything else made up for it. Host was awesome and we had complementary snacks and a bottle of wine along with all the great amenities.

Second Time and Only Got Better

It was my second stay and it was even better than my first visit. My Birthday Fishing Trip was the best ever!! Fishing was steady and just relaxing, hanging out on the balcony while grilling and taking in the scenery made my birthday trip Awesome. Peaceful, Safe, Easy and Beautiful is how I would describe my stay. Will be back

48th anniversary fishing trip

It is just what you'd expect for a fishing cabin with added amenities like AC, 2 indoor bathrooms with showers and a TV. The hosts were great - even left us a bottle of wine for our anniversary. It started to fill up closer to the 4th of July weekend but was quiet and peaceful before that. Fishing was good, too. We caught Christmas in July in Matagorda and snagged some early Christmas gifts. Great stay!

Perfect Duck/Fishing camp

This is the perfect little getaway with the family. Has all the amenities you need to enjoy your stay. My boys loved the little upstairs nook. The cabin is very sturdy as we rode out a storm with very strong winds one night. The dock has fishing lights and a bucket to keep your bait. Right down the road is a great place to catch bait with a cast net. There is also a boat ramp in the area. We loved it and plan to be back soon.

A True Paradise

The cabin was absolutely amazing! It is perfectly hidden on the Texas Coast. We arrived at the cabin with a bottle of wine and snacks waiting on us. The cabin was clean and had everything we needed. The kitchen is fully stocked with utensils and has everything you need for your stay. All the appliances you need our available and clean. Everything worked and they even have a great gas Webber grill on the patio for cooking steaks. We didn't fish as much as we wanted due to the weather, but the host left us rigged up rods that were ready for fishing. The kids loved the loft above the kitchen, and we spent the majority of our time watching DVDs from the collection. The upstairs patio is the perfect place to unwind and take in the scenery. I highly recommend paradise found; it is a true coastal treasure.

Hey Adam- Thanks so much for your review. Wish the weather had provided a better fishing experience - we are getting another crab trap so the kids might have better luck at crabbing! Hope to see you and your family in the near future. Thanks again for being great guests. Jesse Vaught
