This is our third visit to this wonderful property on Copano Bay. Each time we enjoy it more. The house is comfortable, clean and ready. The grounds are beautiful and we love spending time fishing on the pier. We love the Rockport/Fullton area and this house makes our visit even better!

Christmas Vacation

This is the second year my family has spent Christmas at this wonderful place on Copano Bay. There is so much to do in the area, or you can do nothing at all and appreciate the comfortable home with a great view. Fishing from the pier is great and the sunsets are unforgettable. We can't wait to return.

My kids call it "The Bay House" and continue to ask to go back!

Lovely experience. The owner and his assistant were wonderful to work with and so accommodating. The home is older but nicely decorated, clean and had everything we needed and then some. I liked the way it was set up (the guest suite is completely separate from the main house, so the "sleeper-inners" took that room). I stayed in the bunk room with my hubby and kids. My parents were in the master and had to walk through the bunk room to get to the kitchen and living area (an unusual set up but not an issue for us). There is a door in the master, however, where one could go around the outside of the house, if need be. The master has 2 queen beds and two private, identical, master baths (a nice surprise). It is essentially a 3 bedroom/4 full bathroom house. The sofa makes out into a bed; from what I was told, it is actually quite comfortable (if I remember correctly, it is half regular mattress, half blow up mattress...hard to explain). All of the beds were very comfortable; it's the pits when you go on vacation and you can't sleep worth a darn because the beds are like plywood. Not here! The property was big and private. We loved the pier and fished at night (it has a light)! I brought life vests for my 4 and 7 year old and they were not allowed on the pier w/o having them on. I'm so glad I came prepared because it is a very long pier and has no kid friendly railing. I could just see them going right in. If you have young children, I highly recommend you do the same. The kitchen has everything you will need (dishes, toaster, microwave, coffee maker, spices, knives, cutting boards, paper towels, dish soap, towels, etc.). There is also cable TV and a DVD player (which was nice to play the kids movie). They even had Scrabble and we had a great time playing that. The property is older so if you expect a nice, new development, this isn't for you. We thought it was great for our family reunion. They even have a grill and we made burgers one night. I guess my only issues is that I have allergies and I had a little bit of a problem, sneezing at night. We all had so much fun and my children asked me tonight when we can go back to the bay house (a month and a half later...which prompted me to get around to writing my review). We will be returning.

Owner response:Thanks for taking the time to write such a nice and detailed review! We look forward to having you and your familiy back next year. By the way, we have added a "kid friendly railing" that is at a height midway between the pier level and the standard railing height and both railings extend the full length of the pier now. Thanks for the idea!

We had an absolutely wonderful vacation on Copano Bay in Rockport! It was just simply perfect for our four generations present, ages 3 to 85....plenty of room, plenty to do there and in the area and great accommodations. There were 9 of us and we had room for more. The fishing was good and Juan was most helpful throughout our week's stay. We will definitely choose this place again in the future.

Our vacation at Copano Bay Home

Guest: Candy (McCoy, TX)
Date of Stay: 05/20/11 Review Submitted: 05/24/11

The rental property was exactly as described and shown in the pictures on your web site. There was plenty of room for everyone - lots of places to sleep and lawn chairs outside to relax in with that great view of the bay. All the rooms were clean and ready when we arrived. The property was very well cared for with beautiful flowers planted all around. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes and pots and pans and just about anything we needed. Prior to our arrival, I emailed your property manager with questions and requests and always received a prompt friendly reply . I would recommend this vacation home to my friends and relatives. We enjoyed being there so much that the only time anyone left was to get live bait for fishing. I would recommend that everyone bring swimming shoes and enjoy getting in the water. My neices and nephews enjoyed paddling around in the kayaks and everyone enjoyed fishing and watching the dolphin who hung around the pier. A great place to relax and unwind! It was so peaceful there in the evening. Can't wait to do it again!

Five Days on the Bay

Guest: Tim (Austin, Tx)
Date of Stay: 03/21/11 Review Submitted: 04/08/11

My wife and I rented the property for some quiet time away from our hectic schedules and that is exactly what we got. The property is beautiful, the accommodations clean and comfortable. We saw nary a soul during our stay except for Juan who was very helpful in getting us oriented. The pier produced a lot of specs late at night and in the early morning before sunrise. We look forward to our next visit.

Colorado escape to warm weather

Date of Stay: 01/04/11 Review Submitted: 01/30/11

We very much enjoyed the surroundings and not being in a neighborhood were you feel boxed in. The wildlife veiwing from the deck and out over the bay was wonderful. Ray and Juan were very helpful with any questions that we had. The house was well kept and clean. I asked Ray about fishing in the area and he was good enough to repond with a whole page of ideas and information.

Christmas Visit

Date of Stay: 12/20/10 Review Submitted: 12/31/10

My family had a fantastic Christmas Holiday at this location. We fell in love with Rockport and this house. The house is comfortable and convenient and offers many amenities. We also discovered Rockport is a wonderful town and easy to get to from Houston. We would definitely return to this Bay Home and to the Rockport Area.

The location was beautiful, well-maintained and convenient to Rockport (with a nice Wal-Mart, HEB grocery store and several good restaurants to choose from). We loved the furnishings, enjoyed the fishing and sunsets and slept great! Our family hopes to stay here again soon and I have already referred the property to friends!

A great getaway

Guest: Hovey (Houston)
Date of Stay: 08/13/10 Review Submitted: 08/16/10

Being 3 ½ hours comfortable drive from Houston, the very well cared for original house and unusually large wooded property, made for an excellent and very quiet getaway. Watching dolphins in the morning, and the spectacular sunset while fishing from the private peer in the evening was a perfect way to relax for the weekend. I am looking forward to going back and visiting again. The owner and property management was also very helpful with questions and taking care of details. Thanks -

What a great time we had at your place. My seven year old grandson and his friends had a marvelous time hanging out on the pier, kayaking, playing in the water and exploring all. Juan was so nice and very helpful. You are so lucky to have such a great place and such good help. I will look forward to visiting your place again. Thank you for all.

Lets me start by saying Ray is great and the place is a blast. The fishing was great just use a DOA artifical shrimp a white glow one get them from the tackle shop in Fulton. Caught 30 specks in 2 hours 12 inches and bigger. Fish at night 9pm-3am the longer the night goes on the bigger the fish get little ones show up early. Early morning 6am-8am go to topwater walk the dog lures. Also you can catch fish all day on dead or live shrimp 18-24 inches under a bobber. Thanks Tom

This is a great place; perfect for relaxing and for privacy. Such nice people to rent from who really make sure your stay is wonderful. Beautiful view of Copano Bay; great for water activities, such as fishing, boating, swimming, and even great bird watching. Looking forward to our next vacation to Copano Bay!

Great Place

Guest: Clark & Roslyn (Friendswood, TX)
Date of Stay: 05/12/10 Review Submitted: 05/18/10

It's hard to find places in Rockport with much privacy - but this home certainly had it. Sitting in the back yard under the shade trees - the property sure felt larger than five acres. The pier was very nice too. House was great - lots of room and plenty of amenities. The separate, but attached, guest suite provided extra space and added privacy for everyone. Can't wait to return!

We just returned from a wonderful weekend here. The pictures don't reflect just how beautiful this property is. The views are stunning - especially the sunset view from the rooftop or the pier. The house has been tastefully remodeled and includes every amenity we needed. Especially the comfortable beds! Thank you for offering this great property for others to enjoy - we will definitely be back!
