About this house rental
Come stay in our beautiful waterfront home and make happy memories. Our home sleeps 10 people and there are five beds. Enjoy the coastal views of Aransas Bay from back upper deck. Spacious kitchen, dining, living room with large dining table that seats 6 and huge kitchen island with 5 bar stools. Big screen TV with comfortable sofa to relax on. Tv in all the bedrooms. Two bathrooms upstairs and one downstairs. Laundry room downstairs. Covered porch off the living room with a large dining table to sit at and enjoy the views of the canal and Aransas Bay. Lovely garden with a gorgeous pool. The pool area and back of the house gets the afternoon shade so you can enjoy the outdoors and take a cooling dip in the pool. Bring your boat and dock it in the canal at the back of the house. We have approximately 36 ft for you to dock your own boat with 3 pilings to tie up to. We are walking distance to Bayshore Drive beaches and you can drive over to Rockport Beach which is super clean, safe for small children, has lots of cabanas, toilets and showers. You do need to buy a beach pass to get through the gates.
We have a Ring doorbell at the front door and a security camera on the upper back deck focused on the boat. We do allow one pet only with a fee of $55.00 which goes to our wonderful housekeepers. Please no pets on beds or sofas and please don’t try to climb up onto our boat which is on the lift. Take all your groceries from the fridge home with you and any pool toys you bring with you.
We love our home and have many happy family memories from spending time there. Rockport is a gem with many great restaurants.
Many thanks.

It was vary relaxing! We had fun swimming in the pool at night and going to the beach that is nearby. One day we rented a golf cart and went exploring. The downtown district had lots of little shops. One is called 4 the birds and we highly recommend the jalapeño jelly’s they are locally made. When we did have a question Amanda was fast to respond. It was a nice getaway.

Dolphin Bay was the perfect house for our July 4th family trip. The house is spacious as listed and beautifully decorated in coastal decor which adds to the relaxation. The amenities were perfect and the pool spectacular. Amanda and Jim were perfect hosts and answered all questions. Great communicators! We’d love to stay again !

Dolphin Bay is just as it is pictured. The home is in a nice quiet neighborhood. Great location, not only to shops and restaurants but also other areas of interest and cities like Corpus Christi and San Antonio. It was just my husband and I, but you could see there was plenty of room for a family to be very comfortable. The pool and patio area had just been updated. Loved the pool! Enjoyed time on the deck and patio watching the
birds, and on occasion a Dolphin swim down the canal.
Thank you Amanda for sharing your home. Was a great place for our first visit to Texas.

We were in town staying at another rental and it was a complete nightmare. I reached out to Amanda and we were able to get everything setup quickly and were able to check in early and rest from our horrible night before! We loved this house and are excited about renting again in the warmer season so we can use the pool !

My family and I had the best time here! The pool is so fresh and amazing! We had our Jet Ski and boat, so having a place to dock them was great and so easy. The owners were amazing and had great communication with us! We will definitely stay here again.

Had to call two guest and tell them not to come as the downstairs was no habitable due to the stench of sewer. Over he stay the smell would linger to upstairs bay room. The owner said on his call that maybe the house keepers may have run the washing machine. I guess if they hadn’t we would have slept on dirty sheets. He did nothing to correct problem. Will not be using this house ever again.

We had a great visit to Dolphin Bay. The house is in a great location, and the pool is a wonderful way to cool off during the hot summer days. The downstairs bedroom is much bigger than the last time we stayed, and the area is great for kids.

We all enjoyed the stay this was our 2nd yr of staying at a home w/pool in Key Allergo we always had stayed in Port A but enjoy Rockport more. Pool is a plus as in size it does get warm and stays warm till the later evening hours but that didnt stop us at all. Bring fans for the 1 guest room and living area to us it just needed alittle more but thats us ..home has ceiling fans and ac unit upstairs and down so again it was probably us.
The island in the kitchen is amazing its huge and beautiful wood top.
Has all the extra accessories to cook inside ,2 gas grills we used the bottom one it was clean. Loved the bed in the master suite. If u have a small dog or even medium they can easily get under the fencing just got to watch em. The owner was very nice to talk to on the way down and texting afterwards .. i know its not a easy decision to rent our your personal place to people you dont know but the place is a must return place

Beautiful property!! The property owners were extremely responsive and up front about an issue they were having resolved. The property was well
Maintained and the pool was beautiful. The house was clean, beautifully decorated, beds comfortable, the kitchen was well stocked with pots and pans, and the AC worked well. We would definitely rent this one again!!!

Overall the property was great for us and our family! The pool was a hit and most of our day was spent outside enjoying it. Our only considerations, as travelers with toddlers/infants, would be some curtains in the bedrooms to help with the evening and morning sunshine that is in abundance. The rooms were a great size, but the mattresses are clearly in need of replacing. In the front guest room, the bed dips so hard on one side that we constantly were rolling toward the edge. Also, the pull out couches in the downstairs room could use some extra cushion, if you are staying more than one night in that room.

The property is in a great location. Easy check in. The BIG problem is the SEWAGE SMELL that permeates the home. Thought it was from the refrigerator and we cleaned it with bleach and lit some candles. We left and came back and the smell remained. We didn't find the source until we opened the dishwasher. We ran the dishwasher twice with detergent to no avail. The owner did offer a full refund, but at this point we had fishing trips planned and had no other options. The owner was well aware of the problem and did not disclose it. The outside gas grill was also disgusting and was not cleaned in quite some time. We also cleaned that to be able to use it.

Very relaxing and very well kept. We will be going back in the future.

The property is beautiful! The rooms are great! The shared upstairs shower between 2 guest rooms was really nice. Master bath was ok, not a deal breaker at all. The downstairs sleeper sofa room was great. We have 3 under 5 years old so we brought a monitor to make sure they didn’t go outside the room to the pool deck since there wasn’t an interior stair to the main house upstairs. The room would be perfect for preteens and teenagers.
Overall it was a great property! And Rockport was very family friendly in my opinion and a short drive to Port A if you want the big shops and restaurants.
Thank you for the great memories and vacation with my family!

If you’re looking for a place that has it all look no further. This home has a place to put your boat, it’s on a canal where you can fish off the edge of the property, a pool to cool off in and lots of seating for family visiting and games! It is roomy with great furniture and very comfortable beds. It exceeded our expectations and we’re really happy we got to stay here!

Awwwwwmazing
Location was awesome. Really everything was. Cleaners missed a dog poop from previous guest I guess. But it was hidden under a chair. Not holding that against anyone per se. Cause other than that company paid office girls trip was a blast.. can't wait to rent again. 10 stars on the out door atmosphere

Fun time
It’s a great property and has everything you need/want. The Pool is fantastic but be sure to bring water shoes. The best part is you get shade in pool starting about 3:00. This is our second time to stay at the property. The renovations made were perfect from the 1st time to our second stay. We did miss the outdoor shower but isn’t a big deal either. The only thing that we didn’t like is they have a personal boat, a raft on the dock and jet ski in the water/dock area plus we brought our own boat. This left almost no room for our kids to fish off the dock. Other than that this is a fantastic property that is well taken care of
and perfect for a family vacation.

Dreamy location
The pool on the canal was amazing. Surprised at how we didn't see one mosquito the entire time either. Fenced yard was great with the dog. Interior thoughtfully decorated. Grateful for our time there.

Awesome House
My family and I loved every minute of the trip. The house was clean and nice. And the pool was the best part! The property owners communicated promptly for all our needs. I will definitely be staying there again next summer. This is my new go-to spot. Book it! You won't be disappointed.

Canal, Pool, Spacious
We had family come into Rockport for Texas A&M Corpus Christi's graduation. The home was clean and had plenty of space. The outdoor area was perfect for grilling, swimming, and fishing.

A+ experience!!
We would definitely stay here again!! Great location to stores, restaurants, and shopping. Kids and I stayed plenty busy with exciting things to do….Bring your fishing poles and swim suits. We caught a few different species of fish and a few giant blue crabs (crabs ate well on the back deck)! Even though our stay was over New Years the kids were able to take advantage of the pool (convenient down stairs restroom with shower allied them to warm up quickly as it was a little chilly). My pin-laws chose a much slower pace vacation reading and relaxing on the back deck with water views all while being in eye site of the younger folks’ activities. Owners were quick to respond with any questions we had and easy check in and out. Over all A+ location and experience!!
