Discover the charm and tranquility of Gato Malo, a beloved luxury vacation home nestled on the serene shores of Copano Bay in Rockport, TX. Designed for both relaxation and adventure, this spacious 5-bedroom, 3-bath retreat accommodates up to 14 guests and has long been a favorite among families, fishing enthusiasts, and those looking to unwind in coastal style.

Step outside to find one of Gato Malo’s crown jewels: a 400-foot private, lighted fishing pier with two T-heads, LED sport fishing lights, and a fish cleaning station—the ultimate setup for catching trout, redfish, flounder, and black drum right from your backyard. For those more inclined to sun-soaked leisure, the private swimming pool overlooks the shimmering bay, offering a front-row seat to breathtaking sunsets and passing pelicans.

Inside, you'll be greeted by a spacious open-concept living and dining area, where floor-to-ceiling windows frame panoramic views of Copano Bay. Relax with your group around the large smart TV, or cook up something delicious in the fully equipped kitchen, complete with generous counter space and everything you need to entertain. Each of the five thoughtfully themed bedrooms is both cozy and roomy, and comes with its own smart TV for streaming your favorite shows.

Outdoors, enjoy plenty of seating on the expansive deck and patio, perfect for family meals, evening chats, or simply soaking in the coastal breeze. There's also a private grill, ample parking, and easy access to Rockport, just a quick 10-minute drive away.
