Love staying here. The covered area is great to stay out of the sun and hang out with family and friends. Owner put out crab traps for us so we were able to have a crab boil on e of our nights we stayed. Had a great time!

Another perfect stay

The host was great as always, setting crab traps for us and always making himself available to answer questions. The property is amazing, as you get to fish the creek and the bay at the same time. We will be back ASAP for a 4th stay soon!

Our stay at the Round House in Indianola was exactly what we needed for a peaceful, family-friendly getaway. Our grandkids had an absolute blast—fishing and crabbing were just steps from the house, with no long drives or crowded piers to worry about.The location is ideal—just a short drive to the Indianola Marina, where we grabbed a quick bite and launched our boat with ease. Whether you're looking to unwind or spend quality time outdoors, this spot delivers.If you're searching for a well-located, relaxing home base for fishing, crabbing, and making lasting family memories, the Round House is a fantastic choice.

This beach house was everything we hoped for and more. From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was pure relaxation—peaceful, scenic, and just steps from incredible fishing spots. The hosts went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable and memorable. Their hospitality truly made us feel at home.Throughout our trip, friends and family kept asking how they could book the same place—it’s that special. We were thoroughly impressed with every detail, from the cozy accommodations to the thoughtful touches that made the experience seamless.If you're looking for a serene getaway with great fishing and exceptional hosts, this is the place. We’re already planning our return!

Robert is a wonderful host reached out to us and kept communicating through our stay. The property is just as you see it in the pictures. It is across from the ocean bay which is awesome for fishing. It also has a nice pier in the back of the house. Fishing was not that good for us. Robert set out some crab traps and we did catch about 30 blue crabs which made for a nice boil. The house is nice and comfortable. The a/c is cold. The house, however, is dated and needs some repairs and a really good deep cleaning. Some furniture needs to be replaced as well. Water pressure is good. I will say Robert does have the house very well stocked with restroom supplies, kitchen supplies, propane burner and pots. The BBQ pit is really nice too. Outdoor space is clean and excellent. We would definitely stay here again. Note: If you need anything like food or house items, personal items go to the HEB or Walmart in Port Lavaca the little store there is super expensive. I spent 70 on 6 Ice cream sanwiches that I bought for my family and 12 mullets for bait.

Roundhouse special

If you like nature and peace this is the place for you. I enjoyed the stay we caught small reds from deck and bait fish. The crab traps where a plus. Robert was great to talk to and very knowledgeable of the area. I will be back.

Great location and extras!

The location was perfect for our avid fisher-boys! Being able to walk right out and have the fish feet from the house was perfect for everyone. The owners put out crab traps and provided extra turkey necks to reload them as needed during our stay. Additionally, there was crab boil, pots, and propane available for us to use.The kids had a blast! Many of them, never having that whole experience before! The weather was great, outdoor area was perfect and the set-up for cooking, cleaning fish, grilling outside on a charcoal grill couldn’t have been better! Having a washer and dryer was an added must-have when you are dealing with fish, crabs, and kiddos! We appreciate having the Tide pods there too! Beds were comfortable and sheets were clean:) The only real suggestions would be to get the a/c updated or serviced. It had a hard time keeping up. And giving the place a good deep cleaning. Overall, it was a great trip! We will consider booking again in the future! overall was the
