Spence's Laguna Madre Bayhouse - Great for Families & Angler

LONG-TERM GUESTS WELCOME. FAST WIFI AND A COMFORTABLE WORKSPACE.
Get ready to escape to our amazing 2BR/2BA Laguna Madre Bayhouse, which has the best sunrises and sunsets in the Coastal Bend and spectacular water views! Our bayhouse has a comfy beach style with plenty of lounge space in our living room. The living room has Digital cable Hi-Definition TV so while you are on holiday you can still catch all your favourite shows or sporting events. The living room also has a futon sofa for extra guests. Our kitchen is fully equipped for all your cooking needs, with an open flow into the living room, so the cook never has to miss a minute of the action. This space is perfect for entertaining friends and family with the dining room, kitchen and living room all connected. Our two bedrooms are outfitted with bunks beds for friends and family to hit the hay after a long day out on the bay or beach. The first bedroom has two twin beds with one full sized bed under a twin bed and the other with two twin beds. The second bedroom has one bunk bed with a full sized bed under a twin. If you are anything like us, most of your time is going to be spent hanging out on our great front porch overlooking the Laguna Madre or on our 330 foot pier (please note that there are no lights at the end of the pier), just steps away from our front door. You can tie your boat up on the canal pier or just float in the water with friends and enjoy the sun!

With adjacent wetlands, there is some of the best bird watching in all of the Coastal Bend. Additionally, kids love the crabbing pier on the side of the house and everyone loves the private 330 foot unlit front pier into the Laguna Madre bay. Bluff's Landing Marina is the location of Laguna Reef Restaurant and Bluff's Landing Marina, where you can find all of your fishing needs. Laguna Reef serves typical Gulf Coast fare and has a ‘U-Catch em, We Cook em’ option! South Texas Bait and Boat Launch is the launch ramp that is on the same canal as our side pier. CCA/TPWD Fish Hatchery is the state's first saltwater fish hatchery (only 2 miles away) and a fun place to explore with family and friends.

Each reservation includes applicable taxes, a cleaning fee and a Property Damage Protection insurance policy.

We want you to know that we’re doing our part to help our VRBO guests stay safe by cleaning and disinfecting frequently touched surfaces (light switches, doorknobs, cabinet handles, remotes, etc.) before you check in. We also provide cleaning supplies, masks and gloves to our guests as recommended by the CDC. The housekeeper that cleans the Bayhouse runs a professional cleaning service and has been cleaning for Spence for 15 years. Your safety and the safety of your family is important to us.

Spence’s place was a great cozy oasis … For me and my family there was nothing more comforting than waking up early, raising the blinds in the living room, breakfast area, and kitchen area, to take in the amazing sunrise with waterfront views… watching the fish jump just outside the driveway (literally) was so peaceful and relaxing.. we will be definitely staying here again!!

The best fishing spot we’ve stayed at! The house definitely has a comfortable home feel. We would have loved to stay longer. If you want to wade the shallows for fishing this is the place! We gigged our first flounder which was a blast and saw a lot of crab, trout and black drums.
