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 third year in a row to stay at this property. It is so clean, and has everything you could need for a great time. Sonny and Sue are wonderful and are always available if you need them. The peace and quiet and the beautiful sunsets are so relaxing and fishing pier makes it so easy to just walk out and cast a line. We highly recommend staying here and are already planning next years trip. Thank you Sonny and Sue!

Just like last year! Perfect setup! It’s like the Goldilocks place to stay! Just the right distance from the beach, from the grocery store, from eateries. Dolphin sightings and great fishing, even the kids love this place as much as the adults! Already looking forward to the next time and we’re not all the way home yet!

The property exceeded more than our expectations. The house was clean and well maintained. Friendly host and sympathetic to our needs. The views were breath taking especially the sunrises and sunsets. The tranquility of the environment provided a much needed sense of peace and relaxation. The lighted pier was definitely a plus. The grand kids caught their first ever fish there. The excitement on their faces was a sight that will forever be imprinted in our lives. In all, we are thankful for having to have spent time at such a hospitable and lovely residence. Thanks for the memories, Sunny !The Arevalo's

My husband and I really loved our stay at Bay Dock Cottage. The view was beautiful even though it rained while we visited but we will definitely be going back in the future. The cottage was very clean, relaxing and just being right on the water was amazing! My husband was able to fish right off the private pier and we enjoyed a wonderful meal at Mickey’s Bar & Grill that was recommended by Sonny and Sue who were very kind hosts.

Thank you so much. I'm sorry I missed your voice message re: the heat (due to much holiday company!) I know the weather improved, and in the end you did not need the heat (fortunately). We think it was just a system response occurring when the heat was first turned on after a spring, summer and fall of being off. We are having the batteries checked however, in all the fire alarms. We are happy you came all the way from several states afar, and we hope you will come again!

Sunny has a great home! I love this home. From the decorations, to extra towels, to all the useful kitchen gadgets, the house is organized with thoughtfulness and intention! We loved fishing from the pier. It is close to Lighthouse Kayak Park which is what we love to do the most. Sunny himself is super knowledgeable and friendly. I am going to stay here again with my family.

What makes this property unique
