Perfect get away house for small family and dogs

cute and quiet

The house was cute and the neighborhood was fairly quiet.The bed was real comfortable. The living room furniture was a little worn out. Washer and dryer was an awesome convenience. The kitchen could use some updating. Some new cooking pans and less clutter. Had a nice relaxing time.

Terrific Fishing Getaway

The property was as advertised, with a great location, and clean, well-stocked amenities. The host is well organized and has an efficient check-in/out system and good correspondence. A fenced yard is a bonus when traveling with pets. We look forward to booking again for our next fishing adventure.

Palacious 1st Time

We have never used a VRBO before. The past 12 years we were in a motorhome. This house was charming and had everything we needed. Good restaurants and for me- fishing. Weather was good. We definitely will be back again. Thank you for the opportunity to enjoy your vacation home.

This was the best 3 day vacation I’ve ever had. Close to the beach/water/pavilion area, grocery store, restaurants, etc. The house was so cute and very clean. I had no issues at all. I would definitely rent this property again in the future.

Excellent - Highly Recommend!

Our family stayed 4 nights at this lovely home in Palacios. Dale was a perfect host, checking in with us at booking, check-in and after. Based on other vacations, we brought a lot of things with us and found we really only needed to show up and relax. Everything about this home and its location is outstanding!!! Dale was extremely helpful and everyone had a memorable vacation! We will definitely choose this home for our next Palacios stay. Thank you Dale!!! DD

Family Memories - Old and New

From the booking process to questions answered, check in to checkout, this property was a dream. Dale was quick to answer any questions. Everything imaginable was stocked and ready to use at the house. My adult son came with me and my granddaughters at the last minute, making our stay even more memorable (watching the funcle with his nieces kept me in laughter). My parents had lived in Palacios, 10 foot from the water for 15 years, which made me wonder if we’d be disappointed. 100% we loved it! Making new memories while remembering old memories made for an (almost) perfect trip. (If only the fishing had cooperated.) Book this little gem, you’ll be glad you did.

Fishing Getaway

My wife and I enjoyed our stay at Margerum Manor. Everything was ready and the place was clean and as described. The yard is spacious. I caught 7 redfish at a place Dale recommended for wade fishing, so that was outstanding. Palacios is a fisherman's delight, but we also had a good time driving to nearby towns and Matagorda Beach. Recommended!

Good clean much room house.

We rented this house for my birthday came down there we had seen pictures online but it didn’t do the house justice and a man that owns it was in constant contact whenever I sent him a text or email so I was so happy about that and can’t wait to go again would highly highly recommend

About the host

Hosted by Dale Cox

Semi-Retired from the Automotive Service Business, Love Rural Living in the Hill Country of Central Texas, Fishing, Hunting, RVing, Restoring most anything and spending time at my place in Palacios. (When it's not booked!)

Why they chose this property

My family moved to Palacios in 1909 and have been present in Matagorda County for generations so, after spending many weekends a year for years fishing in Rockport and seeing the traffic building and overcrowding/choking the Bays there. When I decided to get a Second Home at the Coast, I naturally chose Palacios for my connection to the area and the uncrowded Bays.

What makes this property unique

The home is just two and a half blocks from the "South Bay" Boat Ramp & Marina the new Palacios Pavilion, Fishing Piers, Jetties and Bayside Beach & Park. Palacios is a small community so most everything you need is just blocks away
