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.
Bay Dock 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 America 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.

Great spot for a relaxing time

We enjoyed our stay at bay dock cottage. The views were amazing. We fished everyday and enjoyed catching plenty of fish. Dolphins swam by several times every day. If you are looking for a place not too far from the beach but prefer a little quieter vibe, this place is definitely it.

I could write an entire page on how happy we were with everything about this home ! The location,cleanliness , all the details. We stay at the coast often and no place has ever provided the items that these two did. From extra linens , spices for cooking , lots of toiletries, even a crab trap. You could literally pack a bag of clothes and nothing else and have everything you need here . The place was spotless , location quiet and great fishing . Easy access for kayaks to get in and out. This is definitely a place we will be returning again and again. Owners are next door and very friendly!! Love it

Family Getaway!

3 adults, 5 kids - before the first full day was over everyone was begging to make this an annual trip! The pictures don’t do it justice! Perfect location! Not only on the water, but close enough to the bigger places you can get there fairly quickly and easily without the business of the city! Accommodations were more than accommodating! I almost forgot! There’s a bait shop next door (we caught some and bought some!) and the kids and adults all caught fish! I would recommend staying here and it sounds like we’ll be back!

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!

We will DEFINITELY be back!!

Our family thoroughly enjoyed staying at this cottage and plan to definitely go back!!There was something for everyone…fishing on the dock, coffee and relaxing on the porch swing, we even saw dolphins swimming nearby, and my younger two enjoyed collecting sea shells. The location of this cottage is perfect for relaxing and the owners are incredibly sweet. They do such a great job making sure you feel welcomed from their cute decor to providing many basic necessities. This was one of the best little family getaways we have been on..I honestly just can’t say enough good things about it!

Fantastic Place to stay!

This was by far, one of the most beautiful and cleanest rentals we have ever rented. The amenities provided were so much more than we anticipated. The hosts were so wonderful and accommodating. It truly felt like we were staying at a friend's home due to the overall atmosphere of the home and the hosts themselves. We will definitely book here again! We also had dolphins put on a spectacular show right in front of the dock! It was amazing!

We live in our home next door to the cottage and look forward to having guests! We enjoy the location and think you will, too!

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.
