Family Trip
We loved being near the beach and the nature center. The location is great, but the mosquitos were terrible (obviously no fault of the owner). They swarmed us walking from the condo to the car. There was so much standing water outside the condo due to recent rain. We didn't get to enjoy a lot of outdoor time. Thmusidcondocondo.

This house is in a gated community and has a community pool, which felt great to cool off in after being at the beach all day.

Nice updated Condo with Beach view, pool on property, quick drive to the beach. My family and I enjoyed our time at Happy Place. We went to the beach a few times, went swimming, grilled a few times, close to shops, restaurants and Visitor center.

Happy Place Condo
We enjoyed our stay! The property was clean, beds were comfy, and we really appreciated the well stocked kitchen and speedy wi-fi. It was also nice to have two refrigerators. We put food in one and drinks in the other. It was great! We don't have any real criticisms, but here is some feedback if you want to improve the experience for guests: We would have appreciated having a few more towels. We wouldn't take them to the beach, but it's so humid that often bath towels didn't get completely dry before we needed to use them again. It might be nice to have a television in some of the bedrooms so that people can watch without using the one in the living room (that would disturb those sleeping in the loft area). When walking from the fridge in the dining room to the fridge in the kitchen, it is super easy to bang your head on the circular staircase. After nearly hitting his head, my husband tied a grocery bag on that step so others would see it and stay safe. Have you ever considered using some foam pipe wrap around the back of the step that is about head height for an adult? Thanks for a great time at the beach!

Beautiful spot
The condo is in a beautiful location, just across the dunes from the beach, with a nice view from the decks. Overall, a nice place and worked out well for us. Out-of-state visitors should know that Texans drive on the beach, and this beach is no exception. It was pretty quiet during the week, but on the weekend it started to look like a parking lot. There also doesn't seem to be a lot of effort put into cleaning beach garbage, and there was a fair bit around. (After we collected several bags full off our stretch, it was much better.) Otherwise, it is a nice wide beach, even at high tide. And lots of birds! The house itself worked out well. Like most of the condos in the area, it is showing a lot of wear outside, with missing trim, etc. The windows needed a clean, and there were some minor maintenance issues inside, but nothing problematic.

First time visitor to TX
Mike is very helpful and communicated with us about any questions we had. The property is quiet and the neighbors were friendly. There is some wear and tear to the deck that will probably need to be addressed in the near future. I’m sure it’s the Gulf climate that requires continual maintenance. We enjoyed the people and the weather in Matagorda. It was a great family vacation

Great Location
Beautifully decorated, fully equipped condo. We had a little trouble accessing the key to check in but finally figured it out. There were a few minor maintenance issues on the property but we found out they were still recovering from Hurricane Nicholas. The view to the beach was wonderful from the second floor and we had a little bit of trouble working the ceiling fan in the loft on the first night. There is no access to the beach from the property which was disappointing but the pool was real nice. Also we weren’t able to drive onto the beach because the sand was so dry and loose that people kept getting stuck. We really enjoyed our stay.

Perfect Stay in Matagorda!
The condo was clean and comfortable, and the AC was able to keep everyone comfy and cool after all day on the beach! My family and I stayed here, and my mother has a limited range of motion and some balance issues, so the walk in showers were so perfect for her! Very easy check in and check out, and the property owner was so respensive and helpful for check in!
