It was a chill place nearby nothing but a gorgeous beach. Warning: you have to have a four wheel drive vehicle or garden galoshes to get the beach. The house was in good shape for being older. It sleeps a lot of people.

This home is very comfortable and has beautiful views of the beach and oceans from the patios. Just a short walk down the path to get to the beach. Home is older but well kept, clean and well stocked with everything you will need for a great stay.

House was clean, but the carpets appeared stained but we did not spend that much time at the house. We are a group of 60-75 year old seniors and we loved the balconies and the beach views.

I have 2 boys, 12 and 9. This place was great. Good path to the beach. Boogie boards to use as well as sand toys. Plenty of space to spread out. We had a great week, would definitely stay here again.

We enjoyed our stay. The homeowners don't allow the thermostat to go below 72 which I wish we had known beforehand. Owner was responsive to texts and I appreciate that. Overall it was a positive experience.

I searched and viewed many properties when looking for a place for us to spend Father's Day weekend with our family. My eye kept coming back to this house. I am more than happy with choosing Lazy Daze for our stay. The house itself is a perfect beach house. The decks are made for family visiting and relaxing on. The house is fully stocked, there isn't anything they haven't thought of including in your stay. Working with Bobbie and Matthew was a breeze. We will be returning in the future. Thank you for listing your property so that families like ours can make beautiful memories for a lifetime there.

We stayed in the house two nights. Duck hunted the first morning then came back to rest and relax. Headed to the jetty to fish till it was time for the night hunt. Headed out for a night hog hunt that did not finish till 4:00am in the morning. We met the duck guide at 5:00am and hunted till noon. Later check out would have been nice so we could shower after the hunting since we did not even sleep in the house the second night. Food for though when I book my next hunting trip. Run-N-Gun Adventures is probably the best hunting guide company in the Matagorda area, they are awesome fishing guides too! This house is perfect for what we needed it for. I would love to come back in the summer and enjoy the beach too.

We stayed Wed - Sat to celebrate our anniversary and it was absolutely perfect! We had so much solitude at the house, on the beach and even at restaurants in town that it felt like we were on a private island just for the two of us. The hosts were very responsive and communicated well. The house has plenty of comfortable sleeping spots and space for multiple families, the kitchen is well stocked for all your cooking needs and the view from the deck are wonderful! 180 degrees of dunes, beachfront surf, and beautiful sky from the top deck! We spent hours up there just watching the waves crash and enjoying the roar of the ocean. We went through the walk trail through the dunes long walks on the beach. It was great advice to bring rain boots for that trek. We also went to the LCRA Nature Science Center near by purchased the pass to drive on the beach. We have a Subaru Outback AWD and if you know how to drive on sand you should be fine most of the way but we saw several big trucks stuck. We saw several different types of birds and deer too! All and all it was everything we wanted to celebrate our anniversary! 💖 Definitely want to go back with family and friends!

We had a great stay at Lazy Daze. The house was more than enough room for two families. The beds were sooo comfortable. The adults used the king sized beds on the main floor and the teenagers used the futons and full beds on the second floor and loft. The house was well stocked and well maintained. Just a short walk over the dunes to the beach was easy. The beach was beautiful and calm. We had a blast sunbathing and collecting shells. The kids found a Frisbee and body boards at the house that they used down at the beach. We would definitely come back to Lazy Daze in the future. Loved the house and the nice town of Matagorda! We even went into the building at the Matagorda Bay Nature and RV park and found a touch tank with hermit crabs and fish. They loan fishing rods and tackle at that building. My husband and some of the kids caught quite a few trout while we were there. And crabs were running everywhere down by the pier. The have frequent "crab crawls" in the area to catch and cook them. Highly recommend Lazy Daze!

We stayed Wednesday to Sunday over the Thanksgiving holiday and enjoyed several visits to the beach in this small, quiet community. Ahead of our arrival Bobbie let us know that there was water on beach path and that there wasn’t a washer and dryer any longer because of some heavy rains that flooded things. She also informed us that the fireplaces were capped and they had faux fire/heaters instead. This is an older house and we didn’t mind the wear and tear. But we wished the plumbing had been better. The very low flow hot water in the kitchen made cleaning dishes a real challenge, particularly with no dishwasher. There was also a strong septic smell downstairs so we didn’t end up grilling at all, and so had to do more dishes than planned. The upstairs tub plug wasn’t functional, which made baths for the kids a challenge and the cold water handle wasn’t installed properly, but my brother had tools, so we fixed that. But then the upstairs toilet stopped flushing. We let Bobbie know everything we ran into and she thanked us and said she’d get the handyman out to look at it. Lazy Daze has great beachfront views from both decks. The floor plan with the two living room spaces was great for our family and all of the beds were very comfortably and the house temperature was comfortable on all three levels. There were plenty of linens and kitchenware and lots of toys, games and movies for the kids. We made do without WiFi and almost no cell service. Overall it could be a perfect low-key place, if the plumbing issues get resolved.

We’ve stayed at a lot of rental houses and this was by far the worst. The house had a strange odor to start with. The showers had used soap in them. Paint chipping off walls & ceilings. The walls were warped from moisture. Broken blinds and internal doors in every room. The bed spreads & furniture was very outdated. Towels had stains on them. Moist carpets. The main door had a decent size gap under it which let in bugs. We killed a few roaches actually. No screens on any doors or windows so we weren’t able to enjoy the lovely ocean breeze. The owners keep the thermostat locked at 72 which we found to be very warm to sleep in. The decks had large nails sticking out from many boards and I cut my foot pretty badly on one. No lounge chairs to sit on. The corn hole game board was broken. The pathway to the beach was under knee deep water with slippery pallets underneath which a member of our group slipped and fell on. We awoke our last morning to rain splattering all over the dining room floor from the roof leaking. There is a large list of rules to follow posted throughout the house, none of which were communicated beforehand. We kept our comments to ourselves for the most part as we wanted to try and make the best of our trip. The two times we did communicate with the owner, she was unfriendly and had zero interest in how our stay was going. The pictures of the house are taken in a way as to not show damage. This house should not be rented until many repairs are made.

Though the photos are a fair representation of the visual of this place, nothing captures the true ambiance. I'll break down my review in three parts: smell, amenities, and safety. First, the smell. While I know it is difficult to keep a beach property fresh due to the humidity and such, this place smelled like stale sweat and pee. The beds must be decades old as they smelled like years of stale sweat and b.o. The entire downstairs area near the kitchen smelled like urine - especially if you tried to sit down on the old, old couch - you'd get a special waft of something gross. The second and third floors weren't so bad but the smell of the first floor did make eating, hanging out in and around the kitchen, and reentering the house unappealing. Ick. Second, the amenities. This place was a collection of all of the old, broken-down stuff you have left over when you get new stuff. All of the furniture was VERY worn with lumps and bumps. The "couch" upstairs (a futon-type thing) felt like you'd fall right through when you sat down. Each of the stools around the island was just as flimsy - you had to carefully balance on the frame for fear of the center falling through. And the towels looked like something you'd picked up at a garage sale. All very old, thin, and worn. They didn't even bother to put out a new bar of soap for the bathroom sink and the sponge in the kitchen was DISGUSTINGLY old and soured. The microwave did not heat things. The wi-fi went out. The thermostat was locked for the first day we were there so you couldn't control the temp. The "fireplaces" were ill-fitting, electric plug-ins with cords running all over the place that put off ZERO heat. We thought ok - the wifi is out, let's play some games. Every single game we took out was missing vital pieces. So, that was a bust. Lastly, safety. This place felt like something your Uncle Bubba - who worked construction for a summer or two as a kid - built. The floor was warped, the beams and ceiling sagged, and there were electrical cords - AND WIRING - exposed and running all over the place. The lights flickered when they worked at all. The washer didn't work well - I think because the electricity to it was coming on and off. The wall paneling around the outlets on the first floor was bubbled and water damaged. The wall siding in several places was like that. The stairs were awkward - different sizes, poorly planned when they build-on levels. Location was beautiful. Beach was nice.

Bobbie &Matt were excellent hosts, allowing us to set up last minute accommodations for my wife's 60th birthday getaway. The home is in a great location near the beach and close to enough to town for any last minute things we needed from Stanleys. The house was clean, neat and the house was well stocked with everything necessary for a great stay. We come to Matagorda often and will check their availability again. Take care, till next time!

We all hopped out of the car after the long drive and headed straight for the beach. The mosquitos were waiting. After that first ambush we were much more prepared and wore long sleeves and pants for the trip through the dunes to the beach. Thankfully the house also came with a ready supply of bug spray! The gauntlet of mosquitoes along the trail was our only issue during our stay - they didn't even bother us on the deck. We loved everything else about our stay. The house itself is very comfortable and had everything we needed. Our favorite part was the two decks. The upper deck has amazing views of the beach and gulf. Our kids loved the nook room up at the top floor as well. It was nice that the majority of vehicle traffic on the beach was more towards the east where the main beach road is which gave us tons of space. As with all things along the coast there is definitely some rust and things like rough deck lumber and warped paneling. However, we had no functional issues with the house and it made a fantastic base for us to enjoy Matagorda. The folks over at the Matagorda Bay Nature Park were super friendly and helped us rent kayaks which was one of the highlights of our trip, so check them out if you go!

We enjoyed our stay, but… 1. Downstairs living area very small…could have used the larger upstairs living room but we wanted to be close to kitchen for snacks & dining table for games 2. Small step up & down from dining room to living room was hazardous 3. No dishwasher was disappointing 4. unable to walk to beach due to swampy area 5. Parts of the house are in need of repairs

The house was perfect for three senior couples to enjoy time and space to be together for sharing good food, exaggerated stories, and fun fellowship. Coffee and cocktails on the deck to watch sunrises and sunsets! Close proximity to beach for morning walks, afternoon sunbathing, and evening beach combing! Close accessibility to pier and jetty for some fishing! We enjoyed it all and hope to return!
