About this property

Copano Bayfront Home w 385' private pier w night lights!

Spectacular bayfront home in Rockport Texas on Copano Bay. Located directly on Copano Bay with fabulous unobstructed views from the home and pier. The 385' private pier is completely lighted with a T-head (w extra green fishing lights), covered area, a kayak ramp, and additional lowered deck (for boats), and extends beyond the majority of the piers on Copano Bay. Two 1500 watt green sport fishing lights at T-head. Lighted fish cleaning station located in fenced in yard.

Big Blue is 3 bedrooms/2 baths and is smartly decorated with all new furniture, stainless steel appliances, pots/pans, dishware and linens.

Living room (w/wood vaulted ceiling), kitchen (with granite breakfast bar and countertops and custom cabinets) and dining areas (both breakfast bar and dining table) have unobstructed amazing views of Copano Bay. The large open living/dining area has an audio Sonos system with soundbar and subwoofer (which creates a separate sound system or a surround sound from the new 65' Smart HDTV) with additional speakers on the upstairs back porch. The Sonos system is accessible via a wall mounted iPad controller or can be accessed via the Sonos app on any smart phone.

Master bedroom is bayfront with luxurious king bed and large bathroom w dual sinks, walk in shower, 2nd bedroom has view of Salt Lake (across road) and has a queen bed, 3rd bedroom is a double bunk bed (four twins). 2nd bath is large w dual sinks separated from bathtub/toilet.

Spacious living room with two oversized sofas including a queen pull out sofa and additional seating and table seating areas. House sleeps 10 in beds. Additional linens are at the home for extra guests. All living/bedroom area is upstairs.

Upper covered decks on both front and back. The upper Copano Bay deck has an outside dining area as well as numerous chairs. Back deck faces pier and Copano Bay and front deck faces Salt Lake (across road). Fenced yard and additional downstairs covered area (with two large family sized 12' picnic table and gas grill).

We also own the large vacant bayfront lot next door. Guests are able to use it as well and enjoy the privacy of having the vacant lot adjacent to Big Blue.

Kayaks are available for use. Copano Bay and Salt Lake are excellent kayaking areas. Please contact owner directly about kayaks.

Our guest have enjoyed the home, the pier, the charm of Rockport, the fishing, the bird and dolphin watching, the night fishing lights, the kayaks, the coast breeze, grilling and the amazing sunsets.

The calendar is UP TO DATE! If the dates you want are available on the calendar, no need to send an Inquiry. Just Book It! Until booked, it stays available on line. If a 3 night minimum is holding you up and its not prime season...contact me and we might be able to change to 2 nights.

You will love the property. Its a great vacation home. The house was designed and furnished to accommodate large groups, family, couples, and family groups. The home has accommodated numerous families as well as wedding parties, fishing groups, and college reunions. Its kid friendly yet completed in a grown up kinda way. Our cleaning crew are amazing and have thoughtfully kept the home in top shape. We have tried to include everything needed in a vacation rental. We want you to look forward to your visit, enjoy your time here…and make plans to come back soon! We have lots or repeat guests at Big Blue.

The 385’ PRIVATE pier is a fisherman’s dream! And kids can spend hours on the pier and under the covered gazebo over Copano Bay.

Many folks book a year in advance for their favorite repeat visits. Reserve the home soon!

Wonderful place!

We really enjoyed our stay at Big Blue with family and friends. The home was spacious, clean and safe for our 13-month-old. We had a blast fishing off of the pier and even had dolphins swim right up to it, it was an awesome experience! The local bait shops are a great recource for fishing tips and tricks!

Great for Family Gathering!

This beautiful home was perfect for our family! Open and spacious in all the right places - from the private pier and upper/lower decks to the kitchen and living room. Lory was great to work with. Not only was she responsive, but also provided lots of local information for any newbies to Rockport. We'll definitely be back!

Family Gathering

This was a great vacation spot. Close enough to USS Lexington and The Texas Aquarium to visit. Rockport beach was great. Best of all, we had a wonderful time fishing from the pier! We caught several keeper catfish. My son-in-law caught one that was 20” long and about 4 pounds.

Perfect place to relax with family

This property is fantastic! The pictures don’t even do this place justice! The property was very clean and well furnished and had everything we could possibly need. We enjoyed fishing off the pier and watching the beautiful sunrises and sunsets. It was very quiet and peaceful and just what we needed for our vacation.

Amazing family time

We went just for a few days to get a break from busy life and wish we had stayed a week. It was amazing fishing. Great house, loved seeing the dolphins in the morning with my coffee sitting on the end of the pier. We will definitely be back! All 3 of our kids loved it as well. The house was excellently stocked with anything and everything you would need.

About the host

Hosted by Lory Johnson

Host profile image
We have been visiting Rockport for 50+ years. Copano Bay caught our attention many years ago. We have spent many hours designing and furnishing the home for all to enjoy. The home was completed in early 2013 and was listed for vacation rental for the first time in early June 2013. It was completely updated/renovated in 2018.

Why they chose this property

Big Blue on Copano Bay sits on a large lot (and now we own the vacant lot next door!). The lot fronts Copano Bay in Rockport Texas and directly across the street is Salt Lake. You can sit on any porch of the home and have an amazing view. Fishing and kayaking are awesome. The area is peaceful, private and the sunsets are amazing.

The house was designed and furnished to accommodate large groups, family, couples, and family groups. We have tried to include everything needed in a vacation rental. We want you to look forward to your visit, enjoy your time there…and make plans to come back soon! As many families have come back each year....and as the 100+ reviews clearly note...its a great place to enjoy your vacation.

What makes this property unique

The 385' private lighted pier was completed in May 2013 and expanded to add a boat docking area a few years later. It was the final touch to our Copano Bay bayfront home. Just after completion, a pod of dolphins hung around playing at the end of the pier. Super fun to watch! The sport fishing lights and additional covered area make for a awesome time fishing with family and friends. Many guests have brought their boats to tie up to the dock.
