I just wanna say first of all it was in a good location for what we wanted to do. The place is small and cute, pretty well stocked, easy check in and check out. We were however very discouraged when we realized that the third bedroom with two twin beds. Is not accessible from inside. You actually have to go outside go down the stairs and then go through the laundry room. It is a horrible smelly, moldy, musky damp space, we couldn’t stay down there. Which also means if you have to go to the restroom, you’ve got to get up in the middle of night go up the stairs, Not functional at all. It was awful. Luckily there were only five of us and one of us was a child so we just put the child on the couch upstairs and it worked out for us OK. Had a lot of good reviews and I can see why there were good reviews but also I saw people making some of the same comments I made and Still giving them a very high rating which is very deceiving. There was mold that was painted over in the upstairs we could see it we could smell it, without air conditioning running it would’ve been awful, and yes, I do understand it’s by the beach. It gets damp and moldy, but with that being said, I know there are places that are more careful about taking care of their mold problems. If anybody had any allergies to mold, they would not be able to stay there overall though, if you’re just two people, three people, even four people the upstairs is a doable unit. A/C units are very loud, but functional.

Peaceful beach get away
The host was very responsive and communication was great. The house was as described and we enjoyed our stay and the easy walk to the beach. The neighborhood was quiet and there were very few people on the beach. The only down side was the aggressive mosquitos but the host did prepare us for that.

Wonderful!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Beach Daze! We saw dolphins, caught 2 different kinds of small sharks, enjoyed the bird watching and loved the sea shells and hermit crabs. My husband and 2 boys loved to sleep in the downstairs bedroom as it was very cool down there. The house had everything we needed. Even though it was very hot, we enjoyed the walk over the dunes to the beach. We were at Beach Daze during a full moon which made it even more special. My son did get stung by a jelly fish on the last day but now he is thrilled to tell everyone he see's about it! We ran a bit of hot water on it and he was good to go the next morning. We also loved that we were able to take our dog. She loved jumping in the waves! Wonderful trip, we would suggest for anyone to go and enjoy! :)

Lovely Beach Getaway
Our family of 4 stayed for the weekend and had a great time. The beach house has a great location, is comfortable, and very well stocked. We enjoyed sitting on the balcony in the afternoon/evening to catch the breezes and watch the local deer and waterfowl. There is a large paved area under the balcony that is shady all day and catches a great breeze, too. Great place to play some cornhole or ladder ball, or just sit and sip a beverage. The walkover to the beach was handy, and we used it on our first evening to go explore the beach. The next day we wanted to bring chairs, cooler, etc, so instead of carrying everything on foot, we got a beach parking pass at the visitor center and drove to the end of Dune Road for beach access. Easy peasy! The property owners were available by text and checked in a couple of times to see if we needed anything. Overall we had a great stay and will be back!

Camp was very clean and had everything we needed. However, it’s pretty old and it looked like it had lived through some water damage as evidenced by the texture on the walls. If you are not used to window units this is not the place for u. They were pretty loud and not always putting out air consistently. Also smelled musty but it is the beach and to be expected for a unit without central air.

Nice Place
The house was nice & clean, with plenty of amenities. I thought the house was beachfront but it wasn't & the beach looked closer to the beach in the posted pictures so that was a bit disappointing but honestly, the beach isn't too far if you have a wagon and the view from the deck is great. The house is in a really nice & quiet location. The owners are very nice, helpful & responsive in any/all communications. Note (not a negative on the owners just a tip): If you arrive after a recent rain, do not attempt the walk to the beach through the dunes without using lots of heavy duty mosquito spray!!!

As Advertised
It's a simple and adequate beach house with a premium location. The beach is easy to access and very private. The house had the basic necessities and was clean and bug free (minus the relentless mosquitos). We had a high wind day and they couldn't compete so that was nice. A screened in area and back porch would have been great.

Just What We Were Looking For
We had a peaceful, relaxing time, despite mosquitos and unseasonably chilly weather. The house was just as advertised. It was clean, simple, and, as Vrbo places go, had a well-equipped kitchen. We enjoyed walks on the beach, visits to the Matagorda Bay Nature Park (about a 10-minute walk away), and longer trips to nearby nature preserves. If we ever get back to this area, we would stay here again.

Great location, suitable for a couple plus 2
50+ lady's trip. Host met expectations of coordination. Property is, as described. Turned out one of our gals could not make it so there was just the (3) of us. Thankful, because the extra room downstairs with (2) beds is not optimal for everyone. It was off the laundry/storage area and was muggy, dreary and smelled of insecticide (which for the mosquitos etc. was understandable, but we still would not have utilized it) would be literally just a place to sleep. Property does have all the basic accommodations & necessities. Unfortunately, it rained (a lot) and the only covered area is the parking beneath the house. So, cabin fever set in with no covered decking to escape to go even go outside. Beach paths from adjacent properties were accessible. Been going to Matagorda for over 10 years now and the truth is this, staying on the dunes side of Beach Front Rd. is always best. Happy beaching!!!

Matagorda vacation
Great house for the price. Two bedrooms in the house and one under the house. The house was small but good enough for 3 adults. The house was clean and there is room to park the trucks and boat in front and side of house. The air temperature got very cold outside. There is no central air or heat. There is room ac units and space heaters for each bedroom. The house did get very cold with space heaters working. Bedrooms were warm but rest of house was cold one morning.. Most of year would be no issues except when temps went to freezing outside one night. The house was cold that morning. Long stays at the house during very cold spells would not be comfortable. Overall, the house was great for our stay and would recommend to anybody as long its not freezing outside.
