Why the Owner Chose Rockport
Rockport Texas is a laid back peaceful area with a small town feel, yet it offers all the conveniences you need. The people are unbelievably friendly, the town is clean and uncrowded. This is not Spring Break beach party Texas Coast. This is family friendly, eco-friendly seaside enjoyment. The nature preserve have done wonders for the endangered Whooping Crane, and having one appear on your own back deck is a delight. Since we love to fish, having a canal front that leads directly into Estes Flats was a key factor in choosing this house. The neighborhood has a full marina with boat supplies, bait and tackle. Directly across the street is all you need-a BBQ joint, liquor store, convenience store with gas station and a cute little restaurant with superb sub sandwiches. And yet with all this in walking distance the house is still quiet, private and peaceful.
The Unique Benefits at this House
A perfect day at our home away from home begins with an easy step from our gazebo covered dock onto our boat fora morning fishing the flats. When we are tired or have caught out limit, we just cruise back, tie up, and use the cleaning station to prepare the fish for an outdoor BBQ. We love to sit on the deck at sunset, enjoying the woodsmoke from our cookout mixing with the saltwater breeze while we watch the palms sway and the herons, cranes and pelicans come in too roost. As it grows dark we like to build a comforting fire in the outdoor firepit and sit talking and enjoying the peace. When its time to go in, our incredibly comfortable pillow top bed will provide the best night's sleep possible. Escaping to this so relaxing place is a panacea for all the stresses of everyday life. It is wonderful to be able to share that with others when we can't experience it ourselves.
25 yard eight lane heated pool with diving area, a walk in leisure pool with slides and sprays. Concession area. 6,000 foot skate park with pyramids, grinds,1/4 pipes and rails.
This is a beautiful peaceful Blue Wave beach. Blue Wave beaches are litter free, have handicap accessibility, public restroom facilities and swimmable waters
Owner's Map of Rockport
We live and work in San Antonio and have always loved taking quick min-vacations to the Coast whenever possible. Having a home in Rockport, just a short drive away lets us escape to the peaceful bliss of the ocean whenever we can. The Texas Coast is truly amazing, whether you want to fish, sunbathe or nature-hike, it is such a short distance in miles but a big difference in atmosphere. David and Tammy, San Antonio Texas.

This weekend was our 7th occasion to stay in a VRBO property and this home is near the top of the leader board. What sets this home apart from all the others, are the extras - from entertainment to the stocked kitchen. The home is exceptionally clean and has all the comfort and convenience of home. You'll also love the newly built patio area - come rain or shine, it's nice to be outdoors in a relaxing setting to enjoy the sights and sounds on the water. You won't be disappointed.

Hi David, Just wanted to tell you we had a wonderful weekend at your house. We parked our boat in the canal and it was so nice to walk out the back door and go fishing. We did a lot more fishing than catching, but had a great time anyway. Thanks for sharing your house with us. Henry

Review Submitted: 08/19/10
My stay at his vacation home with friends for a fishing weekend was a very good experience. The home is very conveniently located in Palm Harbor with on the canal accesss to great fishing in Estes Flats and Traylor Island.The property is very well maintained, clean , nicely furnished and the owner and local property manager were very helpful .Located at the end of he canal the floating grass tends to build up but a worker was there to remove most of it and was not a significant problem . The home is just a few miles from Rockport and great restauants such as the Crab Inn in nearby City By The Sea , Charlotte Plumers in Rockport and Los Camales near Market St.in Rocport. The Boiling Pot Restaurant was a disappointment. Will definitely make a return stay at this very nice home, Joel

Our stay was great!!!! We were celebrating our daughter's birthday and our anniversary and had an awesome time. The home is clean, roomy and has everything you would ever need. Being able to dock our boat right behind the house was wonderful. It was very peaceful and relaxing. We enjoyed our coffee on the back deck in the mornings and BBQ'd in the evenings. David does a great job communicating before and after our stay. A+++++ location.

We were in Rockport for the "Babe's on the Bay" fishing tournament. We stayed at the Dey's house and had a wonderful time. The house is located on a canal, so we could walk out the backdoor and get on our boat. That is very convenient. The house itself was very well maintained and we had ample room for 3 couples. A very comfortable house and the owners and managers go out of their way to make sure your stay is enjoyable. 5 stars!!

We have stayed in this house twice now, and it gets better each time. They have added a video game now. The home is nicely furnished, tv's in every room, computer, lots of toys for the kids, videos games and dvd's. Great location on the canal, so nice to sit out back onthe patio and soak up the sun. This is a great, clean home with amenitis galore. Enjoyed our stay and will return again and again.
