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.

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!

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 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!

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.

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.

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!

Love this place!

Great location with truly wonderful owners that are very sweet, responsive and helpful. They have provided everything you need to cook in the kitchenette, just plan ahead. Hard to beat the fishing and crabbing off the large dock. Last but not least, getting to watch the dolphins swim up close every day while the boats pass by is the best!

Book This!

We have stayed at this beautiful home twice now and each time have loved our stay. The location is perfect if you are looking to fish and be close to the ferry for dinner or beach time in Port A. The home is very clean and well stocked and the dock is nonstop viewing of dolphins and fish.

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!
