About this property

Aransas Channel Dock & Fishing Pier on Harbor Island

Enjoy our newly constructed cottage and patio that faces beautiful Redfish Bay and South Bay.
The cottage has a patio deck, a boat dock, a 100’ fishing pier with lights, a patio and lots of parking. Our two bedroom 2 1/2 bath house sits next to the 14’ deep Aransas Channel. Shrimp boats and fishing boats use this waterway to navigate local bays as they make their way to and from the Gulf of Mexico and through the jetties. This is a family friendly property. We are located 3 miles east of Conn-Brown Harbor and 3 miles west of the Port A Ferry.
Our pin drop on the VRBO map is accurate.

Relaxing fishing trip

The rental was clean and was well stocked. HEB is 5 mins away. The ferry is 2-3 mins away. We mainly went to fish and we caught plenty. Our host was sweet and responded to messages fast. Overall 10/10! We’ll definitely be back!

Beautiful Cottage On The Water

Stayed for roughly 2 weeks. Different weather conditions during stay but enjoyed them all. Lots of sea life (dolphins every day) and birds (herons etc) to watch from the dock or from the home. Was very clean and met all our needs. Hosts were great, helped me out late on a cold windy night when lost a key, came right over and unlocked for us.Also was nice being right at the ferry for Port Aransas.Would stay again.

Great Place

We had an amazing time staying at this property over Labor Day weekend. It is a great location with easy access to Port Aransas, Corpus Christi, and Rockport. The fishing was fantastic as we caught speckled trout, sand trout, and black drum. Sonny was a great host and we can’t wait to come back again.

Perfect for our stay!

The house was perfect for our stay! The property was just as described and so inviting. It was private, yet close to everything we wanted to do. We enjoyed the dock and loved using the crab trap daily. The hosts were lovely and very responsive to our questions. Highly recommended!

Great waterfront home!

The home was clean and well-kept. The layout was well thought out and provided the right space and amenities for our group of 7. The fishing off the dock was fun and we enjoyed watching the dolphins and the sunrise each morning!

Charming, Cozy, Comfortable, Clean!

We came specifically to meet up with family, but I wanted someplace where my husband could fish as well. This was the perfect spot.While the weather wasn’t great, the house was beyond perfect. Completely comfortable, so cozy, extremely clean!, and charming. My daughter and I exclaimed several times how this is great, and that’s beautiful, and oh, I love that! The bedrooms and bathrooms are of nice size and there’s access to a washer/dryer, WiFi and tv. There’s isn’t an oven/range but there’s plenty of other cooking options, we utilized the electric frying pan frequently. We had no problems with anything.The owner, Sonny, chatted with about an injured duck and answered our questions and was just genuinely nice.Should we come back this way, I’ll stay, but only if we can stay here!

Why they chose this property

Direct water access for boating, fishing, duck hunting, birdwatching and viewing aquatic wildlife. Dock access included.

What makes this property unique

If you just need a place to come and get away from it all, this is it. The property is easily accessible, but highly private, with no close neighbors, so you really get the feeling you are off the beaten path, and can relax and experience a degree of solitude, while really unwinding.
