Nothing Crabby about Crab Heaven
This place exceeded our expectations. Check in was simple, you walk into a great big covered patio that’s screened in with an awesome breeze. Perfect place to relax and snooze after a trip to the beach or a full day of fishing. Once inside the house had every accommodation you could want. A well furnished kitchen, comfy furniture, nice cool air conditioning, games and movies for the kiddo when it was time to come inside. The beds were very comfortable and the sheets were fresh. The bathroom has a nice big shower and clean fluffy towels provided. Even the decor of the place was awesome and helped round out the whole vibe. Out on the dock we were able to catch plenty of crabs and fish well into the night with the lights on. The host was great about communication and overall provided a very relaxing place to stay. We will definitely be coming back.

Matagorda Bay - House on the Colorado River
Great location and perfect house for small gathering...Outside patio was great and you couldn't get any closer to the water. Great lights at the dock and the crab traps were an added bonus.

Long weekend at the Crab House
We enjoyed a very nice Sat thru Monday weekend, the weather was great and we used the huge screen porch to eat our meals and to relax. The home was very clean when we arrived and all of the facilities worked with no issues. Granddaughter was thrilled to see Dolphins moving up and down the river in the evenings. Fishing under the lights was also good fun.

Fishing weekend
Gray house for the four of us. This little hide a way was perfect. Fishing at house was good and it was close to everything we needed. Only one item that could use to be replaced was the grill. Other than that I will return and tell other to stay here as well. Thanks.

Disappointed
The house was clean, manager was responsive. the bed rooms are not private, lots of cameras on the property, first place i have ever stayed that did not have trash service, you have to take the trash to town and try to find a place to dump it. Charging extra for "not following the house rules" seems like a money grab.

Great Stay!
We really enjoyed our stay! House was great, fully stocked and clean! Screened porch was a great gathering spot! Had wonderful large wooden tables with benches and a seating area with ceiling fans. Fishing pier was in great shape and had lights for night fishing. The only downside is the mosquitoes that come with Matagorda! Come prepared with bug spray for yard and bodies lol.
