Welcome to Sunrise on Mag — a waterfront beach house made for fishing, relaxing, and experiencing the quieter side of the Texas coast.
Wake up to the sun rising over Matagorda Bay, watch the water from inside the house, or settle into one of the waterfront balconies and enjoy the view. Sunrise is especially loved by fishing families who want to spend time together without everyone having to do the same thing.
FISH, RELAX & STAY CONNECTED
Guests receive keyed access to our privately owned, shared fishing pier, approximately 115 feet from the house. The lighted pier is shared with guests from five Magnolia Beach Getaway rentals and includes a fish-cleaning station, water hose, bench seating and 9 stainless-steel rod holders. There are no restricted fishing hours, making those early-morning and late-night fishing sessions easy.
One of our favorite things about Sunrise is the connection between the house and pier. Someone can be fishing while the rest of the family relaxes on the balcony—and you`re still close enough to see the action when someone lands the big one.
THE HOME
Sunrise sleeps up to 8 guests in 3 bedrooms with 2 full bathrooms.
The main level features the kitchen, dining and living areas opening to the waterfront balcony. Just five steps up are two bedrooms, a full bathroom and laundry center. Another eight steps lead to the king primary bedroom, private bathroom and its own waterfront balcony.
The primary balcony has a loveseat swing, bistro seating and beautiful views over the bay and pier. The large main balcony offers comfortable cushioned seating for up to 10. Because the waterfront balconies face east, you`ll enjoy spectacular morning sunrises while the house provides welcome shade later in the day.
Inside, expect a polished, comfortable home rather than a generic beach rental: comfortable beds, plenty of linens and towels, a well-equipped kitchen, central A/C, washer and dryer, and reliable fiber internet for streaming or remote work.
BRING THE BOAT
There is plenty of parking for multiple vehicles and a truck with boat. The free boat ramp is approximately 1 mile away. Bring your kayaks, bikes or golf cart if you`d like—Magnolia Beach is an outdoor community and there are limited equipment-rental options nearby.
ABOUT MAGNOLIA BEACH
Magnolia Beach is a rural bayfront community surrounded by water, wetlands and wildlife. It`s a place for fishing, boating, kayaking, birding, beach days and slowing down.
This is not a resort community. The closest convenience store is approximately 1.5 miles away, while full grocery shopping and most restaurants are about 15–30 minutes away. We strongly recommend bringing groceries and anything special you want for your stay.
The shoreline directly in front of Sunrise has county-maintained erosion-control rocks and a low-speed public beach road between the house and bay. Guests cross this road to reach the pier. Traffic is generally light, but the shoreline is public and you`ll see neighbors, beach visitors and occasional vehicles.
A FEW COASTAL REALITIES
Magnolia Beach is a natural coastal environment. Our beach is shelly, so bring water shoes. Mosquitoes can be active during warm weather, particularly after rain, so repellent is recommended. Jellyfish can be present seasonally, and the surrounding wetlands are natural wildlife habitat.
YOUR STAY
We provide self check-in and send access information once the home is ready on arrival day. You`ll arrive to a professionally prepared home with essential supplies, linens, bath amenities and a small welcome from our team.
Sunrise is part of Magnolia Beach Getaway, and our team is nearby if you need us while still giving you the privacy to enjoy your vacation.
