We had such a relaxing enjoyable week here! The home is beautiful and the neighborhood is so peaceful and quiet. We have been coming to Matagorda for several years and this is the best place we have ever stayed. The kitchen is well stocked with cookware and large and spacious. The fishing is easy and fun. The excitement comes from never knowing what will be on your hook. We caught red and black drum, flounder, croaker, sea trout, alligator gar, lady fish, gaft top and hardhead saltwater catfish. We also used a trap to catch blue crabs. Most everything was not legal size but so much fun to catch and release.
