Built in 2022, Big Fish Lodge is a beautifully decorated house just 3 blocks from the harbor and minutes to the Gulf. You’ll love how nice, new and clean this home is. The bedrooms are large and spacious, the house is gated, secluded and very private , over 1 acre property. There is nothing in Matagorda that compares. The house very comfortably sleeps 18. Outside you’ll find a covered pavilion with plenty of seating and a grill. Property is completely surrounded by bamboo for full privacy, feels like your in a tropical jungle. There is a guest house next door that can be rented as well. We expect shoes to be taken off and spills/messes to be cleaned up. Extra cleaning fees will be applied as needed. Guest house next door is also available for bookings, and is sometimes occupied . This is not your party house, this is my home so respect it. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Ice maker - Kitchen island - Kitchenette - Lobster/crab pot - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 5 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 3 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - Games - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Fenced yard - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Work spaces - Desk - Desk chair ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - Near an outlet shopping mall - Near the bay - Near the marina - Near the sea ### Things to do - Birdwatching nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Hunting nearby - Jet skiing nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Rafting nearby - Sailing nearby - Snorkeling nearby - Surfing/bodyboarding nearby - Swimming nearby - Water skiing nearby - Water tubing nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Windsurfing nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Garden ## Similar properties ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/39000000/38770000/38767200/38767140/c55f5651.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Newly Renovated Riverfront Escape with Stunning Oak Floors & Prime Fishing!

Jul 4, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Weekend fun First Make sure you find the binder with all the rules and regulations and read that before you do anything. Well to start the house was clean and the AC works very well. Bathrooms very spacious and the showers are awesome. Plenty of room and beds, kitchen and dinning area is very spacious. Living room nice seating big TV. On the downside we had two 1 1/2 year old grandbabies with us which was not ideal for some of the stuff that was there on the shelves but we managed. That was 14 of us we all had to come down at different times so there were five vehicles, parking was a little tight but we managed, there's a side gate entrance that has rough poured concrete managed to park the trucks over there it is a little rough but other than that everything was great. ##### Larry D.

The house was very clean. Great layout. Only thing that was somewhat strange is that the manager lives on the property. No issues but would have been good to know when booking. ##### Kristi R.
