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.

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.
