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.
Our pin drop on the VRBO map is accurate.

This was our second year staying at this fantastic location. The house is perfect and walking right out to the pier to fish is the best part of it all. Everything you could possibly need for a great time is right there. Bait shop next door is so convenient and the daily sighting of the dolphins is wonderful. We will definitely be back next year.

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!

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

This house is in a great location. A great place to fish or just sit on the pier and watch the boats travel up and down the inter coastal canal.

We would love to stay here again!

This was one of our favorite houses we have ever stayed in. The location was perfect, the fishing was great and the owners went above and beyond to help make us feel welcome for our anniversary and birthday celebrations. The home was spotless, the location was accessible to the ferry, docks and bait shops and was very peaceful. This waterfront property is very hard to beat!

Vacation away from Wisconsin

The property was well maintained and supplied! It was a tad tight for 8 people, but other than that it was fantastic and we had a great vacation! Fun fishing of pier, exploring the area, and lower level bathroom was very convenient!

Fisherman’s Paradise

We had the most amazing time. The finishing was incredible, we were able to sit on the dock all day. If you need bait all you do is go next door. If that isn’t enough you also get to watch the dolphins swim up and down the channel. If you are looking to get away from the crowds this is the place for you. We are already wanting to plan our next trip here.

Perfect!!

We rent houses all over the place and I have to say this was by far our favorite! The owners were EXTREMELY friendly and accommodating. We caught a ton of fish off the dock and I couldn’t say better things about this house. The description is exactly as said. Can’t wait to come back and hopefully it won’t rain the entire time we’re there haha!

Fishing trip

Property is very nice and clean. We all loved the house. Owners provided everything you need, you just bring the food and drinks. Owners live next door. We all enjoyed talking to them, really great people. We went kayak fishing, launching from back yard. Enjoyed fishing and hanging out on dock. We hope to go here again!

Love this house!

If it was possible, we would give this house and the owners a higher rating than 10. Sonny and Sue are so welcoming, friendly and helpful. The house is immaculate and so cozy that you feel right at home. Everything is there that you could possibly need including an electric teapot that is wonderful for us tea drinkers. The pier was fantastic for fishing and we saw dolphins everyday. We had the absolute best 7 days ever spent at fishing and just relaxing in this beautiful home. Highly recommend to anyone wanting a peaceful, stress free getaway. Thank you Sonny and Sue, we are planning to come back in April!

Well equipped with beautiful views

The property is incredibly well equipped. The views help you settle into relaxing on your vacation while watching the sport fishers go by and dreaming of winning the lotto. We hired captain Steven next door and got into some good reds. Sonny and Sue, who live next door, were very attentive and a pleasure to talk to. Already talking to the gang that went about repeating this vacation. Highly recommend this property.

What makes this property unique
