Really like the 2 story deck and fireplaces. Cassady's next door was amazing for breakfast and lunch. Wide variety on the menu and the coffee was great too.

Employees at the RV park were all very nice. It's also pet friendly. We loved camping within walking distance from the beach and the bar and grill which has live music at night Thursday through Saturday. It was also awesome that we could leave our tent set up on the beach to save our spot each day!

The motel is just a few blocks from all of the restaurants, bars and the marina. The rooms are…read moreclean and spacious, with each room having a refrigerator, microwave, and coffee maker. The rooms are affordable and the beds are very comfortable. The current owners took over in 2014 and have made several improvements, adding a pavilion with two barbecue pits. There was plenty of space to park our boat and we were told the crime rate in Matagorda is very low. The people we met at the three local bars (all within walking distance) were very welcoming and friendly.

The location is only thing it has going. I don't recommend. I'm not a high class hotel person I just need a bed and shower but not here. And shower ran for almost 15 minutes before got warm. I don't recommend. The owner is nice but I didn't get a refund. But I want to warn others.

Our family needed a getaway from our home in Seattle, Washington when good friends pointed us to…read more"Holy Mackerel."As someone who is more a mountain person than a beach person, I didn't know what we should expect, but as we arrived, we were instantly excited to spend a few days at the house! The house itself was welcoming and comfortable from the moment we walked in and the view of the water was a constant treat. We didn't understand how much the close proximity to the beach would shape our time at the house. Since it was so easy to get to the beach and into the water, we relaxed in the surf much more than we expected to. The key words there are "relaxed...more than we expected"! Our first night, as we settled in and noticed the unexpected amenities, we remarked to ourselves, "They thought of everything!" Our older daughter- who is an avid reader- loved the little touches like the reading lights connected to the bunk beds. Frankly, we are not used to being so well taken care of! Our family got to create some easy and meaningful memories during our time at the house. From dinner and games around the family-sized table to quiet moments of reading and reflection on the Adirondack-type chairs on the porches, there are many moments that we will look back on as special times in our lives together as a family. In the background of each of those moments was the thoughtfulness of the hosts who put the house together in such a way that we simply just enjoyed ourselves! We would definitely love to stay at Holy Mackerel again and we highly recommend the house for anyone who wants to enjoy simple comforts and drink deeply of the culture of the Gulf coast.

Their individual descriptions and photos seem to match. Nothing edited or fluffed. What you see is what you get. Houses are mix from new to 1960s beach bungalows with lots of character. If there's a problem - unexpectedly the A/C goes out. They are super fast to respond. Hurricane coming in- they will advise you and often work with you. Check out their places. Nice choices. Convenient to Houston and Galveston. Nearby Lake Jackson is brimming with places to shop, eat and street names to amuse you.

Stayed there for 9 months in their studio room. It could use a little TLC but very worth it. The…read morebathroom/restroom is spacious enough and the walk-in closet is more than enough space for me. The location is perfect right in between the city. The manager of the place is very friendly, very accommodating, and easy to speak with. I had some very small issues with the room that were resolved within the day or the following day. I would very much stay there again If I'm working in the area again.

Let me just start off by saying I had somewhat high hopes about this place... I have rented the…read moremain home on the their property for almost a year now... My impression of the management and owner has declined since I moved in. I would be lying if I said that there wasn't a laundry list of issues with this property - faulty water lines, power wanes if there is a strong storm, various Rodentia (field mice) throughout several of their rental homes and trailers - the list goes on. I have had a dishwasher, vent hood and oven that has never worked- and will not be repaired by the MGMT; I also had mold issues because the builders did not seal my bathroom properly. When I ask the owner about a timeline for repairs- Paras always differs me to his property manager. Furthermore, the Property Manager's response is "Just move, if you don't like it". Recently, they have began to let tenants into their rental properties who perpetually smoke cigarettes and other harmful substances - substances to which others breathe second-hand. Now I am being evicted because I speak out against not wanting to breathe smoke.. Oh yeah.. I also pay 1100$ a month to breathe that smoke and deal with substandard management.
