Another great year!

This was our family’s 6th year coming to Brown’s Blessing. We enjoy our time every year! There is space for everyone. It is within a short drive to the beach. There are fun cute shops close by. The kids love getting snowcones just a block away.

Great House in Matagorda

This was our second time staying here with clients for a fishing tournament, and the property is ideal for anglers. The house was very clean, and it's proximity to the harbor made it perfect to catch our charters each morning.

Matagorda Vacation House

From the time I made my reservation all the way to after check out, Stacey was an excellent host! She was very prompt to answer all of my questions. (There we’re many! LOL) The description of the home was spot on!! I had my 3 girls, their husbands, my grandchildren and our long time family friends with us. There was more than enough room. The kitchen was well equipped with all utensils, pots, pans, bowls, etc… There is everything to love about Stacey’s home!! It was our first time to Matagorda for our family trip. We will definitely return and hope Stacey’s Home will be available!! Of all the beach homes we’ve stayed my Grandchildren said they loved this house the best!!😊😊😊 Thank You again Stacey’s for the perfect place for us to have our family vacation!!

We love this house!

Our family has been staying at Brown's Blessing for several years now and we have loved it each year! It is large enough to accommodate our whole family and we love being able to stay together. The Kitchen is large, well equipped, and open to the common areas. The home is about a 5 minute drive to the beach and we love being able to hop in the car and get to the beach so quickly! The shops in the area are so fun to walk to and the kids always have to get a snowcone. To say that we love this home is an understatement. It has also been a blessing to us!

Great place for a crowd

Everything you need is there. If you are going to be cooking special things you should bring your own spices There were 8 adults and 3 kids. They loved the beach--although there were no waves. We love the new sofas. The ice machine was great. I did dump when we got there because it was one big lump..but made ice pretty fast so we had plenty while we were there.. We plan to be back.

About the host

Hosted by Stacey Brown

We are Archie and Stacey Brown we have four children and eleven grandchildren. We live in a small town in West Texas. Archie grew up in a small town, Tx. I grew up in Phoenix, Arizona. I moved to Kermit Texas when I was seventeen and a few years later we were the classic story of boy meets girl. We learned a lot about the differences of city life and small town living. We chose to raise our children in a small town. And what a blessing it has been!

Why they chose this property

When Archie and I started going to Matagorda we stayed in the local motels. We found ourselves going quite often so we invested in a fifth wheel and stayed in the marina for quite sometime. We became friends with many good people but the challenge of the fifth wheel was getting our children to come and experience the joy of fishing in Matagorda Bay. There just wasn't enough room for everyone. Archie and I have always talked about living in an historic home so when this one came available we plunged in. This home has far exceeded our imagination.

What makes this property unique

This home has so many unique benefits but the first one that comes to mind is the screened in porches. The upstairs porch offers a wonderful gulf breeze as well as a bit of live music on Saturday night when the local fire department has benefits.. Archie and I have been know to two step a bit while relaxing on this porch. Even though the music can be heard from the porch it is not heard in the house so it serves as a great spot to unwind. The porch off the dining is a great place for morning coffee, games or a nice breakfast. The front porch is a favorite of mine, because I like to read, and it is just so peaceful. For whatever reason you may use the porches, this one thing is for sure these porches are a gem to this house and you will find great joy in using them. The backyard offers a tree swing, fruit trees that yield the best grapefruits and tangerines I have ever eaten so if there is fruit on the tree when you are there please taste for yourself!
