The howdy house is amazing!!!

Our family loves the howdy house! It meets all of our families needs perfectly. The lights on the fishing pier and the extra refrigerator and ice maker are a great bonus! We travel to Matagorda several times a year and always stay at the howdy house.

Perfect Home Away from Home

My husband and I enjoy taking our grandchildren to Matagorda and this is our favorite house to stay in. It fits our group of 6 perfectly and meets all our needs for an amazing vacation. We all enjoy the proximity of the beach and fishing off the pier in the evenings.

Great house for family with young kids

The house was great for our two families with young kids. The pier has a gate to slow down young ones and plenty of room for them to run around. The hot water heater kept up with 8 people showering after the beach and multiple nice bathrooms, including one in the garage. We loved that all the switches were labeled so there was no guessing which switch to flip. The garage has an extra refrigerator and freezer plus there's a small commercial ice machine.

It was a perfect vacation~~~

I was so out of it I forgot to leave a review. There were a few minor issues, but... it was the perfect accommodation for me. The location, cleanliness, service—everything was great. I plan to go back again in December.

Perfect Home Away from Home

We always enjoy our stay at the Howdy House! It is perfect for our family and fully meets or exceeds all of our expectations. My grandkids love to catch fish off the dock in the evenings and it is a short trip to the sunny beach. The Howdy House is always clean and inviting. We have several more stays at this property scheduled this summer and are truly looking forward to our upcoming visits!

Spectacular

We chose this one because of the dock and boat lift. We got so much more. The deck, dock and outdoor living spaces were over the top. Very nice and comfortable outdoor furniture. Great fishing amenities and walking distance to bait shop and launch. Ample parking, even with a boat trailer. Five stars.

LOVE our stay!

There were three couples that stayed in house. Plenty of room. We each had our own room. The upstairs master bedroom was huge..took up the whole second story floor. If you have littles there is plenty of room for an air mattress in master bedroom. The house was VERY clean..great job to your house keeping team. The house even had a boat lift for your boat, that was the main reason we booked this particular house. Mosquitos were pretty bad, just bring your own pump with Bifen spray. If I had one minor complaint it would be that the grass needed mowed. Great house! We will rent again!!
