Aransas Channel Dock & Fishing Pier on Harbor Island

This cottage was fantastic! quite, private, very clean, everything you need is in the kitchen, grocery store close by. Less than 5 mi to the ferry to Port Aransas. Pier is well equipped and is next to the channel with lots of dolphins swimming by. We were able to catch our bait. Definitely going back.

We had a wonderful time. The cottage is very nice and peaceful. Sonny and Sue are very sweet and accommodating.

House is always clean and every little detail is there . Sonny and Sue are amazing hosts!!

Beautiful property and views.Very clean home and very responsive hosts, enjoyed talking with Sonny.

Bay Dock is our happy place and this property never disappoints. We had a great time fishing, crabbing, and watching the dolphins roam the channel.

This is our second stay at this property. The hosts are amazing. The house is spotless and you can tell the owners take care of it. The fishing was amazing. We will definitely stay here again.

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.

House was immaculate and very comfortable. Get up early to witness the sunrise.

Host. Good people

Thank you for providing such a wonderful home base for our spring break! Such a relaxing and peaceful place to spend a few days.The house itself is so cute and super clean. There was plenty of room for our family of five. The kitchen is stocked with everything needed to feel at home.The fishing dock is what really sold us, and we enjoyed it morning, noon, and night! We had a lot of fun catching catfish, snapper, and drums. Dolphin sightings and pelicans made it even more exciting.You can't beat the location. Minutes away from a nice HEB, restaurants, and the Port A ferry. It's is the perfect place to be on the water while still being a little away from the hustle and bustle of Port A.We had an amazing time. This will be a trip we rememver for life. Thank you to our lovely hosts!

Beautiful cottage, perfectly clean and has everything. Didn’t miss the absence of a real stove with the nice Breville countertop oven and electric burners. Convenient to grab bait fromRight next door, too!

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.

We had the best time staying at this beautiful waterfront home in Aransas Pass! The house was spotless, cozy, and had every amenity we could have needed. The peaceful water views and relaxing outdoor space made it extra special, and the beds were incredibly comfortable.The dock was absolutely perfect for fishing — with running water, a fish cleaning area, comfortable seating, and lights for night fishing, it truly made the whole experience unforgettable. You can tell the owners care about every detail.This was one of our favorite getaways, and we would absolutely stay here again. Highly recommend!

Great cozy house. Lovely location. Helpful hosts

Beautiful property

Great house with excellent fishing

The hose is very nice and a perfect location withpeir for fishing. Will be back as soon

The entire place was absolutely spotless and smelled great. The hosts are very nice people. We loved watching all of the boat activity and dolphins from the sitting areas and fishing pier. We caught lots of different fish including a hammerhead, several ladyfish, lots of trout, several sting rays and many more right off the pier. We all thoroughly enjoyed both the location and the property.

Balcony view was breathtaking. Room was clean. Host was very accommodating. Will defiantly stay here again.

We stayed here first part of October and it was fantastic. Fishing off the porch/pier we caught tons of fun fish. The house was spotless and the bed was comfortable. Enjoyed the whole stay!

3 day vacation with some old friends (our old next door neighbors when we lived in Kerrville 40 years ago). Perfect venue to relax, fish, nap, and eat out. The weather was cooperative. Great conversations on the balcony while watching the boat traffic, dolphins, and birds. Sonny and Sue are such terrific hosts! Good balance of giving us our privacy and being available for fixes. The GCI was tripped on the pier lights, and Sonny fixed it 5 minutes after I let him know of the problem. Perfect size for two couples. Bedrooms are on different floors. We liked the living room area, but we spent most of our time on the balcony or on the pier. Nice breeze. No mosquitoes (early October). Shade from the sun in the evenings. Speckled trout on the small size for the times we fished at night. Possibly, larger fish could have been caught at 2AM, but we did not want to find out!Paradise Key did a good job of cooking our freshly caught speckled trout. That place is super crowded in the summer, but in October, there's hardly anybody there.We took the ferry to Port A and ate at Virginia's on the Bay one night. Also very good.Highly recommend this place; it's our 4th or 5th time to stay here, and we will continue to come, God willing.

This place is amazing is our 2nd time staying here, convenient to all stores fishing was so much fun. We enjoyed so much only left the house once in 5 days, id give a 20. Owners are amazing to so sweet.

Balconey had great views. Location was ideal, Host was very helpful and friendly. Property was well maintained. In all we had a wonderful experience

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.

Amazing stay again !

Great place to stay. As advertised will definitely book again.

The most beautiful property! Great hosts wonderful house with fishing off the dock, dolphins and relaxation, would recommend this place to anyone looking a place to escape.

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 is second time to stay at Bay Dock and we will definitely continue to come back. Everything about this place is great.

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!

We love this home!! The view and location are amazing!!! The host are even better!! Second time to stay and we will be back!!!

We love staying here, the owners are amazing people! Easy to get in and out with our boat, love the dock to fish off at night, just all around great place to stay!!

It was a great place to fish and see dolphins

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.

The cottage was wonderful. It was peaceful and quiet. Just what we were looking for.

Nice place

Love this place! Right on the water so fish from backyard! Super clean, nicely decorated and with all the necessary items provided. We stay here 2 times a year. Love the owners too. Great people.

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!

Stay was great everything was clean host were great had so much fun will be staying again

Had a great time. Will be back next year. Thanks

We came here for a family time with my wife, daughter, son in law and four grandchildren. Looking at the pictures in the listing we knew it was a really nice place, but pictures don't give the place all the credit it is. From the moment we arrived, there was much excitement what lay in store for us while staying here. The place was very well designed and furnished, the hosts were superb, and the weather was ideal. The fishing and crabbing on the pier was a blast. Sonny the host even shared some spec rigs with us and they worked very good fishing at night. We took a boat and the boat slip worked very good. The property is close to town so restaurants, and groceries are not far. The view was spectacular, I'm so glad I brought binoculars. We all agreed this was the best rental we have ever stayed in. Looking forward for the next time. Thanks again Sonny and Sue for opening this place for us.

What a beautiful location and a perfect stay! We appreciated the access to good fishing and the daily dolphin watching was an unexpected treat. The house was clean and well appointed, the hosts having thought of everything. Thank you so much!

we will be back.

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!

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!

WONDERFUL!!!

My daughter and I wanted to get out of town so we booked here. Even though the weather didn’t full cooperate we had an absolute blast! Will be back!

We came specifically to meet up with family, but I wanted someplace where my husband could fish as well. This was the perfect spot.While the weather wasn’t great, the house was beyond perfect. Completely comfortable, so cozy, extremely clean!, and charming. My daughter and I exclaimed several times how this is great, and that’s beautiful, and oh, I love that! The bedrooms and bathrooms are of nice size and there’s access to a washer/dryer, WiFi and tv. There’s isn’t an oven/range but there’s plenty of other cooking options, we utilized the electric frying pan frequently. We had no problems with anything.The owner, Sonny, chatted with about an injured duck and answered our questions and was just genuinely nice.Should we come back this way, I’ll stay, but only if we can stay here!

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.

Clean home and property, great location for fishing.

Excellent place that was clean and well maintained. Our host was very friendly and kind, I can't say enough good things.

Easily the most comfortable stay in the area for fishermen and their families. If this property isnt available we simply just dont come down! Must stay!

It was nothing short of wonderful. We had a wonderful time and enjoyed fantastic viewing from inside and outside the house. The property was very well supplied and the host are WONDERFUL!!!! The fishing opportunities are plentiful and quality waters. WE WILL BE BACK.

This place is absolutely amazing. The first day I caught so many fish we could not keepnotkeep countthis place is a 20

Third visit to the place, first time to bring a guest (9 year old grandson). Extremely clean and comfortable. Great beds. Nice showers. Beautiful views. We love to fish, and the fishing under the lights did not disappoint! The speckled trout were very plentiful, often catching two at a time on speck rigs. It's very nice to have a bait stand next door. Comfortable chair on the dock, cool cafe lights, and running water makes fishing out there so nice. We hired a guide who picked us up at the dock out back, and he cleaned our fish using the house's fish cleaning table. Gorgeous sunrises (and sunsets), best seen from the second floor balcony. Dolphins right in the channel in front of the dock. All kinds of bird life (pelicans, herons, gulls, and even kingfisher). HEB nearby in Aransas Pass. Also nearby is Crab'N restaurant, where they will cook your fish any way you like it. We didn't go to Port Aransas this time, but it's a short ferry ride there. Like I said, great for fishermen, but also if you just want to kick back, enjoy the water views, read, or use as a base to explore the area. Finally, we enjoyed talking to Sonny and Sue, the owners who live right next door. Patriotic Americans with very high standards for their rental property.

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!
