Reel Southern Retreat - 2600 sq ft, single level canal front, boat Dock

This beautiful 2600 sq/ft one story home is the perfect canal front coastal getaway and offers kayaking and fishing in a cozy waterfront community. Bahia Bay is situated in front of Estes Flats and is convenient to both Rockport and Port Aransas.

Before considering Reel Southern Retreat, please know that Bahia Bay is a quiet neighborhood and is not suitable for loud, rambunctious partying.

The open concept and spacious layout of this home maximizes its waterfront feel and is perfect for a family vacation or a winter stay. From December through March, the home is available for monthly rentals only at a 50% discount! Perfect for the winter Texan.

The living, kitchen, and dining areas are all sizable and airy. The well appointed kitchen is modern with granite countertops and stainless appliances.

There are three bedrooms and a large sunroom in addition to the main living/dining areas. The primary bedroom has a king sized bed and a bathroom with separate tub and shower. the other two bedrooms each have queen sized beds and share a bathroom with a shower. The sunroom spans the canal front side of the home and has both an additional living area and two twin beds with trundles for a total of four twin mattresses.

The canal front deck is shady and inviting and provides seating for dining and lounging. Whether you are enjoying your morning coffee, evening cocktail, grilling your catch of the day, or dining al fresco, the setting is roomy and relaxing. The deck is covered with a vine covered pergola for filtered sun, and the dock has seating by the water, a fish cleaning station, underwater night fishing light, and a ladder for kayaking/swimming access. All you need to bring is your fishing equipment. Please indicate in your inquiry if you plan to bring your boat! The 2-car garage is available to you as well.

There is Sling streaming with upgraded sports package, PS3 (bring your games), 5 flat-screen TVs, and an assortment of games and puzzles.

Reel Southern Retreat offers safety and easy accessibility for mature guests, but please be aware there are a few steps from the deck to the dock area.

The home is a 15 minute drive to the ferry landing to Port Aranas. We are awaiting your arrival so plan your trip to historic Rockport and get ready for world class fishing! We live locally so assistance during your stay is a phone call away.

Pets considered on a case by case basis, and require an extra cleaning fee of $100. Please let me know in your inquiry if you would like to bring your pet so we can talk specifically.

This is one of the best homes we have rented over the past 19 years in the Rockport area. Plenty of room, wonderful amenities, and very relaxing. Loved the sunroom!! I only wish the one side of the yard was enclosed, other than that, everything was just perfect! The hostess touched base with us before and during our stay, which was very nice and thoughtful. AND this property has 2 trash pickups, which is great especially if you are staying for an entire week.

Quiet and cute little getaway

My family and I wanted to get out of town for a little getaway and relax by the water and kids live fishing. We really enjoyed this place with the water front access and all the things they left for us to use during our stay. We had almost everything available at our leisure! Thanks again for letting us enjoy ourselves. Will definitely recommend this place for friends and family

Amazing house, attentive owners, fabulous for fishing trip!

I am beyond pleased that we chose this property for our fishing trip. The house is spacious, stocked with everything you could need, comfy beds, and a location that is perfect for fishing on the bay. We brought our boat, parked it in the slip, making it easy to jet out morning, afternoon, and evening each day. Even caught a couple of Mangrove Snappers off the dock. Super, super place.

Wonderful host!! Above and Beyond!!

We had two couples stay for two weeks at this wonderful property for a winter getaway. Everything was well stocked and Ellen even got us a few items that we had not expected to need. Communication was awesome!! I would not hesitate to book this lovely home in Rockport. You will not be disappointed!! We went to the beach in Port Aransas and Rockport. Both are nice. PA is softer sand and much longer beach. Rockport had very nice restrooms and tiki huts for shade, more pebble like sand. Paradise Key had the best Red Snapper!! Took a day trip to San Antonio to The Alamo and Riverwalk. This was a great vacation!!

Southern Comfort

Mother Nature was not very kind to us the week of our stay however if chilly weather chases you inside, there wasn’t a better place to be than the warm welcoming sunroom in this home. It was my favorite room! The home itself is decorated nicely, the rooms quite spacious with a very well appointed kitchen. Really didn’t need to bring a thing for cooking. The kitchen had everything needed. I spent many hours in the sunroom looking out over the bird life in the canal. The neighborhood is also one of our favorites in the area. It’s quiet and kept up very well. We plan to be back when Mother Nature gets happy again! Also…great communication with Ellen as well.

Family Week

We stayed the week of Thanksgiving 2022. Our party included an age range of 57 years - 18 months. The house was a perfect place for our group. Plenty of room, kitchen and bathrooms well stocked. Our boat fit nicely in the slip but weather kept us from fishing. It would be fun to return to when the weather is better. We will definitely try to rent this property again if we stay in the area.

Outstanding Property!

We stayed a week at this beautiful house and had a fabulous time. The home was very clean, well stocked and roomy. The lay out was perfect for us. We had plenty of room to stretch out . The back deck is very nice to sit on and watch the water, birds or just drink my morning coffee. We most certainly will be back to this house. It was wonderful!

Beautiful home, wonderful host

The house was absolutely adorable, the layout was perfect for two families, and Ellen was a very attentive host. Sadly it was super hot the week of our stay so we didn’t really enjoy the wonderful porch area but we spent the evenings fishing on the dock and making fun memories. We would definitely recommend this house!

Daughter’s Birthday Makeup Trip

Due to many things last year we didn’t get to celebrate my daughters birthday, so this year we decided to go fishing in Rockport. We rented a fabulous house with the best communicative and accommodating owner. The house was beautiful, with more than enough room to spread out. The house sits on a canal and is not far from necessities. Thanks again Ellen, as this was my best experience ever with VRBO. Many laughs and memories were had on this trip!
