About this property

Mermaid Bay | Pet Friendly, Fenced Yard + Dock!

Welcome to Mermaid Bay, a cheerful and relaxing waterfront escape nestled in the desirable Copano Cove neighborhood of Rockport, Texas. This charming one-level, four-bedroom, two-bathroom home is perched right on the canal, offering direct access to water adventures and the peaceful coastal atmosphere that Rockport is known for.

Guests will love the serene canal views and the home’s outdoor amenities, perfect for both relaxation and recreation. Cast a line off the private fishing dock—day or night—or tie off your boat after a cruise. A fish cleaning station with power and water is ready for your fresh catch, and the charcoal grill invites you to cook up an outdoor feast. The back porch swing is a favorite spot to sip coffee, watch for birds, or soak in a stunning Rockport sunset. A small fenced yard welcomes up to two well-behaved dogs to join in on the fun.

Inside, Mermaid Bay features a bright open floor plan with contemporary decor and plenty of windows to showcase the waterfront setting. The spacious kitchen includes modern appliances, ample counter space, and a wrap-around breakfast bar with seating for four. The adjoining dining area comfortably seats six. The living room, designed for gathering, offers cozy seating for ten, a 40-inch flat-screen TV with cable, and beautiful water views.

The primary bedroom includes a queen bed and private en-suite bath, while three additional bedrooms offer comfortable sleeping arrangements—including a full/twin bunk bed for the kids and two more queen beds. Guests also enjoy the convenience of an in-home washer and dryer and complimentary Wi-Fi throughout the house.

Just minutes from downtown Rockport, you’ll find great restaurants, boutique shops, and even a monthly Farmers Market. Boaters will appreciate the nearby public boat ramp off the Lamar Bridge in Fulton.

Book your stay at Mermaid Bay today and experience the perfect blend of waterfront charm, fishing fun, and family-friendly comfort!

Disliked: Cleanliness
The house is nice and we enjoyed fishing from the dock. When we arrived, part of the towels were dirty (lipstick etc on them) and part were wet. They were all folded up under the cabinet as if they were ready to go. It was gross. There was no comforter on the master bed. Inside cleanliness could have definitely been better. We left early.

Perfect place for a family vacation

This was just the right size ar and location for our family vacation. It was clean and location by the canal was peaceful. You should bring your own beach towels and chairs as there were not enough sitting options outside and just one shower towel per person but others than that it was great.
