Boasting an enviable canal-front location and a private pool and dock, this new-construction coastal home is ideal for your next getaway. Situated just about halfway between Aransas Pass and central Rockport, all the shops, restaurants, attractions, and amenities are within easy reach, around six miles away. And, just over the Redfish Bay Causeway, you'll find downtown Port A's beach, attractions, and jetty.
At home, start the day with coffee and a stunning sunrise on the covered waterfront balcony, then slip into your swimsuit for a few laps in your pool, just downstairs. If you've got a day on the water planned, the private dock makes access easy.
Inside, the bright, open floor plan combines the living room, dining area, and sleek kitchen. The chef will love whipping up favorite recipes with the help of a full suite of stainless steel appliances - plus a wine fridge - and a vast prep space on the standalone island. Sit down for a meal together at the dining table, grab a quick snack at the island, or dine alfresco on the deck before heading out.
When you return, bask in the central air-conditioning while the washer/dryer handles any laundry. Keep dinner simple with a cookout on the gas grill downstairs on the patio, where you'll also find another mini-fridge for keeping those beverages cold. Entertainment options inside include five streaming-capable TVs, with one in every bedroom, plus free WiFi and several board games. At the end of the night, each bedroom awaits with brand-new gel memory foam mattress - promising a restful night's sleep - another idyllic day on the water begins tomorrow.

Liked: Check-in, communication, listing accuracy
The house was beautiful just like the pictures showed and the layout worked perfectly for our family. However, we had issues with small roaches in kitchen and restroom areas. Previously having a vacation home on a canal, we understand that even with regular pest control maintenance, you will find them downstairs, however, finding them upstairs daily and having to buy spray to kill them was a little frustrating.

Amazing Home
The property was stunning, indoor and outdoor! The home and amenities were spotless and was equipped with all essential needs and more. We will definitely be back!
Pleasant stay in a nice, clean airy home. The layout was family friendly and the kitchen was stocked with all the necessary supplies for a homey feel and an enjoyable stay. The pool is smaller than expected but still managed to keep our boys occupied.
This is a beautiful home and we loved being able to keep our 28 foot boat at dock!

Lovely beach rental for families
The house is very clean, nicely decorated with plenty of seating in and out. The 4th bedroom/bathroom is downstairs on its own which the teenagers loved!!
We enjoyed fishing off the dock area. The raccoons were fun to watch running around the houses. AC was plenty cold, beds were nice and comfortable. We were very pleased with our stay!

Sunset Oasis at Dawn Patrol
We loved the sunsets, the pool, the layout and the convenience to Rockport! Don’t miss out on a visit to all the quaint shops - I think the owners of Dawn Patrol must shop at these boutiques because the decor was sooooooooo cute!

Great home!
Had everything we needed would definitely stay again. Only suggestions for future improvements would be adding some shade over the pool. It was like bath water during the day but it was nice having a private pool!

Wonderfully furnished, and great layout for enjoying with friends. Plenty of space to gather and hang out comfortably after a long day of fishing. Plenty of space on the ground level patio or 2nd story deck for a group meal and evening conversations while watching the sunset at the end of the canal. Rooms were great, comfortable, and couldn't have asked for much more.

Perfect
There was plenty of room. It was very clean. The pool was perfect for grandkids. Good spot for getting to the bay to fish.
Our neighbors and my family shared this house for a few days and we had a wonderful time. The layout of the house is great. It was very clean! There is a private pool and an area to fish right in front of the house. It’s only about a 6 minute drive to Rockport Beach. We definitely recommend this house!
Our family had a fun-filled time at the Dawn Patrol house! The kids enjoyed the pool and the relaxing outdoor patios. The outdoor sink and mini-fridge came in handy and there was plenty of room for everyone. We had no technical issues and everything worked well. We were minutes away from Rockport beach and the drive to Corpus Christi was not too long either. Very peaceful as well!

Relaxing weekend
We brought our boat down for a long weekend. This was perfect. We were able to launch at the harbor and have the boat parked at the house for our entire stay. Beats the heck out of loading a boat in and out of the water 3-4 times on a long weekend (Fri-Mon). Very clean and fully equipped!

It's great to hear that you found the location convenient for launching and parking your boat, and that the property was clean and fully equipped for your stay. We appreciate you choosing to stay with us and look forward to welcoming you back in the future!
What a beautiful home that allowed us to gather and make memories as a family. I cannot say anything negative - it was a 10/10 stay! The home is beautiful and offers everything you’d need for a weekend getaway. The private pool is so nice to retreat to and both upstairs and downstairs patio areas are so comfortable and perfectly shaded. We will absolutely be back and recommend this home to other family and friends. Thank you so much for the opportunity to experience such an awesome beach home!

Great start for boys fishing trip
We stayed on a 4 night fishing trip. The home was perfect. Very clean. Had everything we needed for bathrooms, bedrooms, laundry room and kitchen. The dock was a little tight for our fishing boat with the boat lift structure in the way but we made it work. We also used the fish cleaning station daily. It was perfect. The only negative was not planning a longer trip. Thank for an amazing stay.

Family Time
Enjoyed the leisure of walking out to fish right in the backyard. Water was too cold so we weren't able to enjoy your beautiful pool. But enough patio area to play games and relax. Home was beautiful and I loved the dual shower heads, Big plus for me, lots of areas throughout the house to lounge around. Plenty of utensils and cookware to cook, only lacked your basic salt and pepper. Other than that had a fantastic time in this beautiful home. Would definitely rent again
