MAGNOLIA COTTAGE

We had a fabulous time! What a perfect house for families with children. Our 4 boys ages 2-10 had the best time. The movie selection was great, the accommodations were perfect, and the kitchen had everything we needed. The washer and dryer were an added plus. Thank you so much! We intend on coming back next year.
M & M Family, San Antonio

We had a great time here at your house. It was fabulous! The house was very cozy and very well equipped with everything! There were plenty of sheets and towels for everyone and the kitchen had everything imaginable! The accommodations were fantastic! Thank you so much! This was an absolutely fun weekend and your house was a huge bonus!
LB Party, Ft Worth

Thank you so very much for everything. This is a fantastic place. We enjoyed the peace and quiet! It is not often we are able to get away as a family and this was perfect for everyone! We will certainly keep your place in mind when we plan our next trip! Your place is wonderful and the neighbors are very nice. Our husbands loved their fishing trip with Rick Kelly Guide Service. He is a SUPER guy and even had fresh shrimp delivered to our door! Thanks so much!
G, C and S Families

Thanks so much for the pleasant accommodations. We had everything we needed to be comfortable and enjoy our short time at the beach. The shell offerings on the beach kept the kids busy for hours! We ate at "The Spot" in Port O'Connor and had the most delicious grilled shrimp I've ever had-it's a fun place and the wait time for our food was worth it.. It was a relaxing time. The washer/dryer was an added bonus. Adorable house-you've done a beautiful job with it.
L Family, Pflugerville TX

Our family's mini-vacation of two nights was made quite pleasant here at 25 Sally. We found everything we needed and enjoyed ourselves at the beach. The cottage was cute and rustic. We all thought it was adorable. My seven-year old brother exclaimed that the backyard was a beautiful as our mother. She decided to not look at the back yard as a result. Anyway, we all had a marvelous time relaxing and would like to thank you for such a pleasant stay.
S. Family, San Antonio

Our family enjoyed the cottage and the beach. Had so much fun. Thanks so much for the great time. Your cottage is so lovely. All the amenities and then some.
M Family, San Antonio TX

Thanks for sharing your wonderful vacation home with us. We had a lovely time and the weather was perfect each day. Our two year old loved saying "Hi" to the "big blue fish". She also had a great time playing in the yard and at the beach. Thank you for adding all the safety stuff for us. We will definitely be back again.
L & M & G & K Plano TX

Thanks for a much needed family vacation with plenty of rest and relaxation. We loved Magnolia Beach and cottage. You have done a great job-it's perfect! We all enjoyed the beach, fishing, crabbing, and just hanging out. The Green Iguana in Port Lavaca and the shrimp at Clarks in Port O'Connor were great. We are looking forward to coming back in the summer. Take care.
M Family

Hey Joyce! Thank you so much! We really enjoyed it! It was nice to meet you and Randy. Thanks again. :
A. Spring Break

We love the cottage. We had a wonderful time. The fishing was great. It was a great change of space and scenery. We can't wait to do it again. Next time there will be more of us. Thanks again. See you next time.
JS Family

We loved the house! Very cozy and inviting-just wish the rain cooperated. It was nice sitting on the front porch watching the lightening. Good crabbing at the bridge! Thanks so much for a wonderful weekend. We'll be back and will pass on the info to our friends.
C, L R M Austin, TX

Joyce- Thank God for Texas! : We had a wonderful, relaxing time! We spent time at the beach-crabbing (such fun!), bike riding and soaking up the sun. We took two day trips to Corpus and Padre Island. We loved the house! It is so comfy and it was so clean and inviting when we arrived . How wonderful that everything is here. We hope to come back soon.
G Family, Kansas City, MO

Joyce, Thanks for letting us enjoy your cottage for the weekend. It was very relaxing. Everyone had a good time. It really felt like "home". Thanks.
LP Family

Had a great time, place is very great, very relaxing. A getaway from this stressful world.
J Family

This place rocks hard! It is a place to get away from the city and the hectic world.
JB, 12 years old.

We had a wonderful time. We are from Victoria, so it was nice to get out of the city and relax. We enjoyed the weekend. Great Place. See ya later this summer. :
F Family

Had a blast! We had lots of family time and added to our memories. Really glad you could help this happen for us by allowing us to use your "little comfy house"! See you again. Soon.
C, C and the Boys

We had both houses and they were both great; anything and everything you need for a home away from home. The kids had the yards to play in. We didn't do any crabbing or fishing, but we had a great time, anyway. The info by the book was great and learning about this area from the pictures you had made the trip even better. I am a history buff so I had a great time looking and seeing how this area was. Thank you for "inviting" us into your come.
The F D & G Families.

Had a BLAST! Nice accommodations! All 10 of us had enough room to stay here. We went to the crabbing beach here, no sand but 11 crabs for the pot. We went swimming at the Port Lavaca YMCA pool one afternoon as well as small shops and a good restaurant there. Thanks.
K, J, P, R, S, J, J ,J, J & J San Antonio & Houston

Joyce, We really enjoyed our stay. The cottage is great. My grandchildren and children (adults) had a blast. We didn't catch as many fish this time; oh, well, but the smiles on the faces of my grandchildren were priceless. My grandson even caught a stingray. Can't wait to return! Thanks.
J, W, A, B, D, PJ, D A and K Austin and Dallas TX

Joyce, Thank you so much for booking our stay in short time. Every year I look for a place to stay and celebrate our family reunion. First time in Magnolia Beach, TX. Beautiful town, great people we met. Your cottage is great, very cozy. Our whole family felt right at home. We loved the crabbing and ate them-22 of them. Fishing was great, too. We visited the surrounding areas and enjoyed them, too. My little nieces enjoyed the beach, just about every day. The rain was wonderful every day, some in the morning, others at night. Once again, thank you so much. We will see you again soon.
P Family, Laredo TX

Thanks again for everything. We had a great time staying here again and felt right at home as usual. G enjoyed seeing "blue" again and telling her little sister all about it. Caught 10 crabs as well. Thanks again. Be back in a few months. God Bless.
P. Family

Thank you for letting us stay at your wonderful house for 4 days. We had fun at the beach w caught 4 catfish and 31 crabs. For dinner one night we went to Bay Side Seafood. I really enjoyed and so did the rest of my family.
KD

It was an amazing experience to stay in this cozy cabin. It felt like home. Our family enjoyed staying here. We caught some fish and had a blast at the beach. We just had a lot of fun staying here. Thanks.

GARDENIA COTTAGE

Hi! We had the best time here: we relaxed and just chilled out. We will be back. We tried Carmines Cajun Kitchen in Port O'Connor and it was Great!
D&D H, San Antonio

Had a very relaxing and enjoyable stay!! Looking forward to a return visit. Thanks for everything!
R. Family

Thank you so much! The family really enjoyed the stay
G. Family

A great time was had by all. House was very comfortable and felt like home. Going to start family tradition. C
K & Family, Houston TX

Enjoyed the clean and comfortable accommodations! Nice and friendly neighbors, too. One guy a couple of streets over even gave us firewood when we couldn't find any in the area stores (he heard us talking). The black drum (35-49 lbs) were caught 12:00 am-3 am-best time to catch them at the Indianola Fishing Marina. At Goose Island State Park catch the Park Ranger Talk (30 min) about the "Big Tree"-it's pretty good. The Mexican food was great at LaParilla Restaurant. We enjoyed the stay here. Thanks.
CG Lake Jackson, TX

We enjoyed our stay. We caught many fish; red fish, sheep head and trout. We had a great time. Thanks. We will be back. Thank you for a great place to stay! We really enjoyed ourselves. Look forward to coming back.
JR Family, San Antonio

We enjoyed our stay spending time with family. The weather was very windy, rainy and cold "Easter Weekend".
VS & Family

Having the BEST time! Of all the places on the coast I have been to, this is my favorite!!! Very clean and luxurious accommodations, it is like I am staying at a friend's house. See you next year!
SP-Arizona

Comfortable, clean and VERY accommodating. We will definitely be back. I would recommend this cottage to anyone! Thanks for the wonderful experience. PS. Crabbing is good here!
N Family, Houston TX

A great experience! Would like to thank you for it. My family and I had a great time.
G Family

Joyce, Just wanted to thank you. The place made us feel like home instead of staying at a motel. Really loved the backyard. The family enjoyed the place and we will be back.
R Family

My friends and I had a great time. The house felt very homey, and the place was very clean when we arrived.
MS & Friends Winchester & LaGrange TX

Magnolia Beach is a wonderful place to enjoy the beach and hide from the crowds that are usually there. Nice, quiet, peaceful, but lots of fun. MV Store has great burgers as does the Indianola Marina. Everyone was helpful and full of information. The crabbin' bridge is well worth a visit-chicken necks, string and a net & a bucket are all you need for fun and dinner. Remember, you need a fishing license while you're there, but can get them at the Marina. And you can keep the female crabs as long as they don't have eggs on them. If you want to go fishing-call Capt. Rick Kelly-he's a great guy, very safe and well worth the time and money. Got 25 gafftops and that was with tons of rain and 2 trips into the Marina to wait out storms. We truly enjoyed our stay and we WILL BE BACK.
H Family, New Mexico

We really enjoyed our stay. Everything was really nice.
W Family

Thank you for providing this wonderful cabin for our weekend. We had a great time and are already planning on a return trip.
J Family

We had a wonderful week at the beach with the kids before school starts. Thanks for everything. This is our second trip here, and we will be back. We all had a terrific time. The Green Iguana in Port Lavaca, Clarks in Port O'Connor, the Boiling Pot and Moon Dogs in Rockport, and Fins in Port Aransas all had great food. The fishing and crabbing here in Magnolia Beach were lots of fun. Thanks again.
M Family, Dallas TX

Joyce, We had a really great time. You provided everything we needed for preparing a delicious shrimp dinner. The place was great. Thanks for a great time.
W. Family.



EAGLE'S NEST

"What an enjoyable and practical "home away from home". I mostly enjoyed morning coffee on the "Eagle's Nest" deck. The birds seemed especially cheerful up there! We had a great time".
T & R S. Pasadena, Tx.

(Eagle's Nest) "What a great place! We had a GREAT time. It was hard to leave. The "extras" you have put into the house made our stay very pleasant. The chilled mugs in the freezer were a welcome sight at the end of a long day of travel. The tips in the 3 ring notebook were very helpful. The Barkett's restaurant in Seadrift was wonderful. We did go to Johnstone's Gallery (Roseate Spoonbill Gallery) in Pt. Lavaca. He was so pleasant and helpful in directing us to some great birding experiences. You are right, the folks at Indianola Marina are very neighborly. In fact, everyone we met was friendly and helpful. Dean Johnstone put us in contact with Laura, an artist, who lives 2 blocks from the house. She did a beautiful pastel of a spoonbill for us. We had a wonderful time and plan to return to the area . The table is fantastic"!
T&C Stillwater, OK.

(Eagle's Nest) "Randy - nice place, loved the REAL décor and found the living area very liveable. Thanxs for the safety factors on deck and such! A possible vacation place to bring the grandchildren. Thanx"! The V's Lake Travis, Tx.

April 16 Thanks for the stay. We had a wonderful time. The house had everything that we needed. We will return soon!
M&T

May 21 Thanks for everything. We had a great time here with everything, especially that mind boggle game! Thanks for everything. Hope to see you this summer.
EF, El Campo, TX

May 29 We had a great time at your place. It was really comfortable. Lots of space and really clean. Will definitely recommend Eagle's Nest to family and friends. Thanks.
The R Family, Austin, TX

June 10 Stay #2 at Eagle's Nest was better than the first. Thanks for the hose (for boat cleaning) it was really helpful. Look forward to coming again!
C & LS

July 2 Thank you so much for every little detail. We followed your advice about local haunts & food, and we had the best time. The kids saw alligators and sharks (at the State Aquarium) and had the comforts of home at the end of it all. We'll be back!
K and Family, Austin, TX

7/5 Well, what can we say other than we had a great time! We found your place to be inviting and comfortable and didn't need anything we didn't have!

We are taking some of the mosquitoes home with us. LOL. We're thinking they may make it into the Book of World Records! Seriously, thanks for spraying--they really weren't bad at all.

Fireworks were great--kids loved watching them (from Eagle's Nest) so thanks for letting us stay the extra night. We will be back!
M & D, Austin, TX
K and Family, Austin, TX

July 16-29 We have thoroughly enjoyed ourselves at the nest. Anytime you can take six people from their normality and displace them to a totally different environment and everyone still feels right at home. That is the greatest feeling of relief I could get since my families comfort is very important to me as you well know. For me to come back to the nest and see my wife and children comfortable and relaxed has made my stay for work at Seadrift the most stress-free I have ever had the pleasure of ending. The Eagle's Nest has afforded us every amenity we could possibly hope for and location has been ideal for both my work and my families pleasure. We really appreciate what you were able to do for us with the weekend issue at Gardenia also. The inconvenience we caused you, I hope wasn't too much trouble. Thanks for both of you being so understanding to our circumstances. Before now, I have never enjoyed working away from home so much! Thanks for lending us your next away from home. Excellent time and excellent place.
RG& Family, Groves, TX Randy we will definitely return, next time I'll take vacation, too!

July 21-23 You have a wonderful place. You really made us feel at home. Thanks for all the local attraction advice. This weekend truly felt like we picked up our home and brought it with us. Again, you have a wonderful place here--AND WE WILL BE BACK. (loved the decks) Twins loved it too!!
T&KW, Seguin, TX It was totally fantastic. We all had a great time. The view is to die for!! Thanks a bunch.
CG, Houston, TX

8/6 We really enjoyed your place. We felt right at home and appreciated the extras. Thanks for all the info on the local scene. It was a great get away weekend. Thanks.
L & JE, Lockhart, TX

9/4 We had a great weekend catching up with old friends. We love your place and the town; quiet and very relaxing. Hope we can make it back soon. Thanks.
M Family--Ft. Worth & G Family--Humble, TX

PS Everything was great except for the puzzle on the table--worked 'till my brain and hands were worn out and still couldn't get it right! Great fun!
EG

9/7 Thanks for treating us like one of the family. We had a great time. Everything we needed was here and everything was so comfortable. Thanks so much.
RR, Ohio

9/9 Thank you for providing such a welcoming and cozy little retreat, with all the benefits of feeling as though we're staying in a "home-away-from-home". We love the decor, your decking and of course, the "Eagle's Nest". You've done a great job here and we will definitely refer our friends. Thank you again! PS. We ABSOLUTELY LOVE the kitchen table and red lamp!
