On the river, Wifi, Lighted pier, Private Road, Beautiful sunsets!

The Barefoot Bungalow is located on the Colorado River in Matagorda Texas. The house features a large open living area and kitchen. There is a large bedroom with 2 bunk beds , twin on top and full on bottom, and a small sleeping area with a full bed, as well as a full sized sleeper sofa. Bath towels and all linens are provided, just bring towels for the beach.
Cold a/c will keep you nice and cool between fishing trips.

You can enjoy fishing day and night on the private lighted pier. For boaters, there is easy access to both East and West Matagorda bays. We are located on a private road, so you don't have to worry about cars speeding by like the busy main beach road. Beautiful Matagorda beach is just a short 5 minute drive away. The public boat ramp at Riverbend is only about half a mile away.
The patio area below the house is concreted and always cool and breezy. Perfect for family gatherings, grilling, or a good crawfish, shrimp or crab boil. Be sure to bring string and chicken necks, the crabs are always biting off the pier.
For nature lovers, the birds are always enjoyable! Many species can be seen from the deck, including pelicans, herons, gulls, pipers and if you're lucky maybe even a Bald Eagle!
The house faces West bay, and in the evening the sunsets are beautiful. Bring your kayak and paddle out through St Mary's bayou , you can follow the marked kayak trails to East Bay. There is something for every one in Matagorda!
Come on, Go Barefoot!

Every-Single-Year
We stay at Barefoot Bungalow every single year. We have done it for years and hope to do it for years to come. It is smaller than many other choices, but that adds to its charm for us. The fishing on the dock is a thrill that never ends and working with Sharon to make arrangements is also its own pleasure! Cannot recommend highly enough!

Charming & comfortable
We had a great time. It was a little small for 5 adults to share the space and one bathroom but we knew what we were getting into because the location being on the river was what we all wanted. It was so relaxing and the place is darling and comfortable

Nice place
We had a nice stay right on the water and had my older stepdad come stay with us and fish since we could fish right behind the house. Cold ax was important since it’s been so hot. My favorite place was just hanging out under the house by the bbq pit always a nice breeze.

This was so far beyond perfect for our weekend getaway. Starting with the communication from the host before booking all the way till the end of our stay. Everything is close and can’t beat fishing off the back deck. Thank you for an amazing weekend.

Great house, horrible neighbors
The house was great and comfy. Only problem we ran into was others renters 2 doors down to the south. Very loud and when fishing would cast due north across our lines multiple times.

The property was perfect. The living spaces were very nice. The outdoor area was amazing. We even caught some crabs and flounder right off the dock. We really enjoyed coming back from fishing to this house. I reccomend it to anyone!

Annual Bliss
My husband and I have stayed here with our 3 sons (and sometimes others) for at least the last six years. It is PERFECT for us. The openness and peacefulness on the inside, the fishing outside, and being 10 minutes from the beach make this our home away from home. The only problem is that we have to leave, but only to start planning our return.
