A wonderful family getaway

Grandsons loved fishing on the lighted peer. Adults enjoyed the outside decks. Kitchen was perfect with all the necessary utensils, pots and pans. The best part though was how graciously helpful Fran and Kevin were when VRBO’s system dropped the ball. Our entire family wants to go back. We will.

Great property and great hosts

We've stayed three times in this neighborhood and this has been our favorite property so far. Kevin and Fran have made lots of updates. It's great having the boat dock at the house and a public ramp right down the street. While the fish didn't cooperate this time, we still had a blast celebrating Easter and hanging out with friends.

Fishing Trip

We took a father/son fishing trip to Turtle Bay and stayed at the Barn on the Bay. We had a great visit! Fran and Kevin were great hosts, check-in/out was seamless, the house was clean and everything was as advertised. Most importantly there was a fishing pier the kids spent all day on. We would definitely stay here again!

New Years Hideaway

The property was very clean. Fran and Kevin were very accommodating. The area is very quite. The fishing pier is great for catching Trout, Reds, Flounder and very large Black drums and Reds. Can't wait to rent again.

Fishing and Relaxing

The house is comfortable and in a great location for morning and evening fishing sessions on the pier. Close to Matagorda beach for surf fishing. Very quiet neighborhood and great backyard to sit and read a book while taking in the bay views.

Barn on the Bay

Very nice property. Were down for a relative's memorial service, so we didn't get to spend as much time on the property as we wanted. But everything was great and loved being on the bay. House had everything we needed and loved drinking coffee on the porch as the day broke. Minor irritation about the internet or wifi cutting in and out while trying to watch a football game on TV, but no knocks on that as that's not what I would normally be doing while at the coast. Property felt like home. Thank you for the use of your home.

Sibling gathering

The facility was awesome. Very clean and met all expectations. The view at night was spectacular!! The facility Host (Kevin & Fran) were very accommodating and gracious. We hope to make this an annual event. p.s. Fishing was 'fair' from the pier but better from the boat.

Perfect Vacation

This was the perfect vacation. The house was perfect. There was plenty of room in the house, the yard was big, and the outside pier was awesome to fish off of. We will be back! The hosts are great and attentive as well, always messaging you back quickly if you need something.

Relaxing but FUN!

This property was great for all of us. We enjoyed night fishing off the pier. This trip was mostly based upon fishing but, we felt right at home once we were done for the day. There was everything one may need to cook. Thank you so much for sharing the property.

Quiet and clean

We were looking for a quiet property with a good lighted pier. The Barn on the Bay really fit the bill. The owners conscientious upkeep of the property have made it stand out from other coastal properties...no fishy/shrimpy smell in the kitchen! A real treat for adults and a really unique location that was a great reminder of days gone past for my family.
