4 Bedroom House in Matagorda

Experience comfort, style, and unbeatable riverfront fishing at the freshly updated Reel Retreat! This charming family getaway, nestled on the tranquil banks of the Colorado River in the serene River Bend neighborhood, now boasts beautiful new oak hardwood floors that enhance the cozy ambiance of your home away from home.
Perfectly positioned away from busy roads, this retreat offers unmatched relaxation, scenic bird watching, and fantastic fishing. Enjoy observing migratory birds or tailing redfish from the comfort of your private dock. As dusk settles and the green light illuminates, watch as baitfish gather and speckled trout feast—nature’s nightly spectacle right at your doorstep.
Inside, the newly renovated downstairs features a fully equipped kitchen with elegant granite countertops, high-quality cookware, a pantry stocked with essential ingredients, and an extensive spice inventory—eliminating unnecessary trips to the store and ensuring meal preparation is a breeze. Entertain and unwind at the spacious kitchen bar or step outside to the breezeway, where a custom-built bar-height table encourages social interaction, making outdoor dining and group gatherings even more enjoyable.
Rest easy in three beautifully appointed bedrooms, each offering a luxurious king-sized bed—two memory foam and one traditional—with conveniently located USB outlets and ample closet space. A fourth bedroom provides additional comfort with a twin bed and bunk beds. Two well-appointed bathrooms, each featuring a tub and shower, ensure everyone refreshes comfortably after a day on the water.
Upstairs, discover a unique two-level family room, perfect for relaxation and recreation. The upper nook is a kid-friendly haven with comfy sleeping arrangements including a full daybed with a twin slide-out, an additional full-sized bed, and the beloved giant "couch potato" beanbag. The lower area invites guests to enjoy panoramic river views, a comfortable lounging space, an antique pool table, and a 65" smart TV.
Step onto the outdoor deck to savor your morning coffee or host sunset happy hours overlooking picturesque river scenes. The spacious covered breezeway and grassy lawn offer comfortable shaded retreats ideal for large groups, providing protection from the elements while enjoying marshmallow roasting and storytelling around the fire pit. Anglers will appreciate the private dock with an automatically switched green light offering premier fishing for speckled trout, redfish, flounder, and black drum. Kids will love setting crab traps along the deepwater banks.
Conveniences include ample boat parking with security lighting, and dockside pickup arrangements with local fishing guides to skip marina traffic. The nearby Riverbend boat ramp and newly reopened Wayne's bait stand simplify boat launching and bait supply. An outdoor chest freezer is available to store extra ice. Mooring whips on the dock offer a convenient and safe solution to keep your boat on the water for an effortless morning launch.
Peaceful River Bend Drive is ideal for families, providing a safe environment for children to play and ride bikes away from high-speed traffic.

Summary: Good location, good boat parking. Should consider boat lift usage in the price of the house. Back patio and dock are nice with a good fishing cleaning station. A couple weak spots in the bathroom floor that were concerning and house could use a deep clean.

Summary: The Reel Retreat was the perfect place for our extended family to get together. The location is perfect on the river and near everything you need. We happen to be traveling there right after a hurricane passed through and the owner communicated with us immediately and we really appreciate all the effort! I highly recommend this place!

Summary: We have family out from Arizona and wanted to bring them to matagorda. They loved it and the home is larger than expected, plenty of things for entertainment. Way more than what is listed. It was very comfortable and very clean, minutes from town and minutes to the best and best of all right on the water. We definitely will be returning to this rental.

Summary: Neighbors were very close and when there was a big group could be loud next door. Not a good place for little ones because of stairs and layout
