Funtastic Family Fishing Frenzy

Aw man we had a great time here at Papa Gorda! The home had great parking, views, and great catches. All the cooking and eating utensils with a little nostalgic touches here and there. Modern home but pops of stuff here and there like the toaster i grew up with but in brand new condition. I saw some kitchen ware like forks and spoons, Tupperware, Corning Corelle, and the AM/FM radio in the master suite. Just a little something like I said enough to add more smiles to my day. The home was beautiful and clean. Bring your shampoo/conditioner and body wash/bar soap. We came in mid February. We did not need the mosquito spray during this period fortunately. AC worked great! We caught lots of fish in the CO. The deck and fish cleaning area were also very nice. GREAT sunset views and relaxing place to be. If we come back to Matagorda we will be back here. Lastly, Thank you Top Water and Host for going the extra mile to making our stay right and accommodating and comfortable. I personally had a great experience with customer support for any little question that we had. They responded in a timely fashion if not faster.
