House was tidy and clean and a great layout for fishing, relaxing, entertaining and enjoying time with family!!! We had a great time fishing and spending time here. Really nice lighted fishing pier and access to Copano Bay right on the property
Copano Bay House was our choice for our annual guys fishing trip. The house is spacious and updated inside and very comfortable for our large group. House is well equipped for meal preparation and has entertainment options inside and out. Property is well maintained and management was quick to respond with any issues. Definitely an enjoyable stay.
I have stayed at this property several times now with friends and family. It is our go to spot for a quick getaway or an extended stay. The views are gorgeous and the fishing is great! The house is bright and clean. Our family loves to cook in the amazing kitchen. We highly recommend this property to anyone!
Perfect Family Getaway for Kayaking, Fishing, and Relaxation!
Our stay at the Bay House was absolutely fantastic! From the moment we arrived, the place was spotless and incredibly well-maintained. Beds are extremely comfortable as well! The communication with the host was seamless, making check-in and check-out a breeze.
The pier is well lit at night and the benches are nice. We were excited to catch a 34” shark, several trout, and gafftops off the pier. Great location for kayaking as well.
This vacation rental provided everything we needed for a memorable family vacation. We can't wait to return! Highly recommended!
Excellent house to stay in. Plenty of room and places for folks to sleep. The house was very clean and up to date. A perfect place to make family memories on Copano Bay. I will definitely stay here again!
The house was fantastic! The host was extremely helpful from the very beginning after booking, providing very useful information that made the process extremely easy on our end. The house was great and was perfect for our group and made the stay very enjoyable. I would highly recommend this rental and we are planning on booking it again in the future!
This is the second time we’ve stayed at this property & it’s great. The location is so nice, the pier & lights are awesome. House was very clean. All in all one of our favorite places to stay! We will definitely be back again in the future!
Thank you for sharing your beautiful home! We thought the location was great and very convenient to shopping and restaurants. Everyone loved the pier! Did some great fishing and have many stories to tell. Looking forward to staying at the property again in the future.
We had the best time at this lovely home on Copano Bay. The home is decorated so nicely and well stocked. We didn’t want for anything. All the family really enjoyed the stay. The pier was really nice and we enjoyed fishing so much. Caught some really nice trout too!!
We had a great time! Pictures do not do justice as the house is much nicer and was pleasantly surprised. Check in was a bit rough but once figured out, our stay was great. The pier was nice. We really enjoyed our stay and even talking about returning again! Communication before staying was good. Thanks for a nice Rockport stay!
The home is big and beautiful photos do not do the home justice! Everything we needed was in the home. Beds were comfortable sofa was amazing!!! The home is clean and the view of the water is amazing! Will be back again!
We had an absolutely wonderful time during our stay at Rockport! The accommodations were excellent, providing everything we needed for a perfect family vacation. The pier was a true highlight of our trip as we managed to catch a 23" Redfish and even a 2.5 ft shark - a thrilling experience for the whole family!
The kids had a blast crabbing and swimming in the water right out back, making cherished memories.
A big thank you to the VRBO hosts for making our stay truly remarkable. We are already looking forward to returning next year for another fantastic adventure! Highly recommended!

Host was very responsive but both nights of our stay the water got really choppy to the point that the water was half way up the driveway….including mud and sand. Also, we had 2 roaches in one of the bedrooms.
This property is great! All the comforts of home, and then some! It's a beautiful place, right on the water, great views, huge open spaces both inside and out, well furnished, comfortable beds, big kitchen, and a long lighted pier to boot! What's not to like. Go, stay, you'll like it, and will wish you could have stayed longer!
One of the best places we have ever stayed! There was more than enough room for our family Thanksgiving. We are a family of cooks, so we spent a lot of time in the kitchen and it was spacious and had all of the amenities. Fishing was great despite the weather and everyone had a great time. We will definitely be back!
Place was immaculate & nicer than the pictures. All the amenities required. Host was very quick to respond to questions. We would definitely rent again.
This was one of the better properties we’ve stayed. Everything was better than expected except for few things that needed an attention. First was the entrance to the main door and its code was inoperable which was a known issue but I wasn’t apprised until I had to reach out to the property management for troubleshooting. Second,, the mattress in one of the main bedroom was old and saggy which was covered up with a memory foam that didn’t resolve the problem and caused every night of tossing and turning trying to find a comfortable position. Finally, the floor inside the house seemed to be uncleaned from the previous visitors because it was definitely noticeable on our bare feet. Overall, my family and I enjoyed the stay and it’s beautiful view of the water from the property and will consider revisiting in the future.
