We had wonderful family stay! The property is in a safe, clean, neighborhood and offers a peaceful atmosphere. Fishing from the dock was fantastic - we caught plenty of speckled trouts and kids absolutely loved it.

This was such a nice little home for our family to relax and fish on the water! Close enough to all the fun stuff like Rockport beach, the little town shops and food spots but also in a quiet location!

Excellent fishing getaway

We had an excellent time. The house is cozy and very pretty. We conviently fished right off the back yard with the lights. It was minutes from Rockport and Aransas which was convenient for food, shopping, and launching the boat. Absolutely will stay here again!

Home was as advertised. It’s nice to be on the water and see the boat traffic. The home looks to have been through Harvey and remodeled.

We enjoyed the location of the house. We use Conn Brown to launch our boat and Rockport to eat and other stuff in. It was perfectly located between Rockport and the boat ramp. The dock was very nice. We caught trout at night under the lights and all the piggy perch one would want. The beds were soft and nice and the kitchen had what we needed to make the meals that we wanted. Dawn was very easy to get ahold of and the house was exactly what was listed. My wife even said that she would definitely rent the house again.

Very Roomy for the 4 of us adults. Open Floor Plan. Nice View of the Bay from the Living Room and Kitchen. Great Fishing off your Private Dock. Great Outdoor Living. Some Boats and Barges passing by. --No Need to Go Anywhere!Fishing was great under the lighted pier at night. --Lots of Trout with some Keepers! Using Plastic Shrimp. Gafftopsail fish a plenty.Only drawback was there was no Remote Control in the 2nd Bedroom so TV was Unavailable to watch in there. But did not miss it. Great Outdoor Living. Deck Chairs Very Comfortable and Relaxing. Nice BBQ Pit. Would Stay Again.
