About this property

Sunrise, Sunsets and Redfish at the Bungalows on South Ocean

  • Breathtaking 360-degree water views await at our A-frame in historic Indianola. We are just one minute from Indianola Fishing Marina and we have plenty of space to park your boat. The fishing is amazing--whether you're in a boat or on a pier. Catch a great coastal breeze and stellar sunsets and sunrises are unmatched.



    Message me through app or call my cell number--I'm always happy to help!

    Beautiful, historic Indianola, Texas. Amazing fishing area in unincorporated area of Calhoun County on the Matagorda Bay. The Powderhorn Wildlife Management Area is directly behind us--a beautiful marsh system full of channels for fishing and bird watching. Adjacent to Magnolia Beach, where you will find a public fishing pier. On Brighton Avenue, you will find 2 other single lane bridges popular with fishermen, along with a nice little lake, perfect to pop a few chairs. Indianola is only minutes by boat to Port O'Connor.
    Approximately 15-minute drive from Port Lavaca, 30-minute drive to Port O'Conner and a 50-minute drive to Rockport.

    Guests are welcome to utilize all living spaces. Laundry room available. This room includes a washer and dryer, in addition to some life jackets, chairs, fishing nets.

    Beautiful sunrises and sunsets! We are set-up -up to allow for the most privacy while giving ample opportunity to spend time together on three different patios/ decks--1 deck off the front porch. The next deck is beside the driveway, shaded by the pergola. You will also have seating on the upstairs deck for the couple lucky enough to call dibs on the king bedroom. We have a picnic table under the elevated deck, which always seems to catch a great breeze--perfect spot for hanging out and eating up fresh-caught fish.

    Living and kitchen area located on ground floor, with views of the ever-changing Matagorda Bay right out the front door. BBQ available.

    Kitchen is fully equipped with large and small appliances, along with dining table.

    All sleeping areas are equipped with TV and WiFi and coffee machines.
    The bedrooms are located just outside of the main house; the first room being upstairs, and offering a very comfortable king-size bed and a single sleeper futon (I have slept on this fold out bed and was very comfortable--5'4 female), mini fridge and Keurig coffee pot. The deck offers stunning water views, great sunsets and star-gazing.

    The second bedroom is located in the building just behind the main house. This room offers queen size bed, 43" Smart TV single and serve-Keurig. This room also has a 1/2 bath with outdoor shower with hot and cold water just outside the door at ground-level.

    Three very distinct and separate sleeping areas to allow for maximum privacy.

    Kayaks are allowed to launch on S. Ocean Drive, about 3 houses from ours at the turn, at Indianola Fish Marina or into the bay at Magnolia Beach (you will need a trailer or truck bed to transport them. Boat parking in specific areas. I have been told the Marina allows overnight docking.

    What to bring::
    Beach towels --some here but may not be enough for your group
    Bug spray
    Groceries, ice, charcoal--closest HEB/ Walmart is 15-20 minute drive to Port Lavaca
    Fishing equipment: The marina sells frozen and live bait, along with hooks, lures, t-shirts, etc.

    Food: The Marina has a bar and grill, and the food is pretty good.

    There is also a small grocery store and gas station off Highway 316--Make a Left on 2760 and it will be on the right side. They sell gas, pizza, a small selection of groceries and tackle.

    Property may not be ideal for all families or those with mobility issues.

    From I-35, turn south onto2433. Take a right onto 238, then stay straight towards indianola onto Hwy/ CR 316, Turn right onto Brighton Ave, and then another right onto Ocean Drive--drive to 1098 S Ocean Drive--to our awesome A- Frame--The Bungalows on Ocean Drive. Drive 1/8 of a mile further to get to the marina

    Kayaks are allowed to launch on Ocean Drive or at Indianola Fishing Marina. Boat parking in specific areas. I have been told the Marina allows overnight docking. Property may not be ideal for all families or those with mobility issues.

This was a nice quiet area next to the water and was a very nice area to spend the weekend. My wife and I spent our 35th anniversary here and it was very nice and relaxing. I would recommend this place if you’re looking to relax for the weekend. Lots of birds flying around. Loved seeing the wildlife and the water. The house was very clean and well stocked with supplies.

Indianola

Very historic Texas site. Nearby marina/restaurant/bar was great. But the downside was the funky room arrangement. Main room was living room/kitchen w/sleeper sofa. To get to king bed room, you had to leave the main room, go outside, climb stairs and unlock a door. To get to the queen bed room, you had to leave the main room, go outside, and unlock a door.
