Waterfront Vacation Rentals in Rockport, Texas

There’s something special about staying right on the water in Rockport. Whether you’re looking for wide-open bay views, a place to fish just steps from the house, or a canal-front home where you can keep your boat nearby, Love Rockport offers waterfront vacation rentals for a variety of coastal getaways.

Our waterfront homes include both bayfront and canal-front properties, each offering a different Rockport experience. Browse the options below to find the setting that works best for your trip.

Bayfront Vacation Rentals in Rockport

Bayfront homes are all about the views and the fishing. These properties offer beautiful coastal scenery, changing skies, wildlife and some of the best sunrises and sunsets that Rockport has to offer. Catch trout, redfish, black drum, flounder, blue crab, gaff top, and of course hard heads in the bays in and around Rockport.

 

Many of our bayfront rentals feature private lighted fishing piers, giving guests an easy place to cast a line without leaving the property. Especially popular with families and friends who want to spend time outdoors, enjoy the water and experience the relaxed pace of the Texas coast.  Because bayfront properties are exposed to open-water conditions, the piers are  intended for fishing and enjoying the view and are not safe for tying up boats.

Canal-Front Vacation Rentals with Boat Docks

For guests bringing a boat, a canal-front vacation rental may be the better fit. Canal-front homes offer protected waterfront access and may include private docks where guests can tie up a boat during their stay. That makes it easier to get on the water for fishing, cruising or exploring the bays around Rockport without having to trailer your boat back and forth each day. Some homes have dock lights or underwater green lights for fishing.

Each property is different, so be sure to review the individual listing for dock details, boat access and any specific restrictions.

Fishing Right from Your Vacation Rental

Rockport is known for fishing, and staying on the water makes it even easier to enjoy.  Redfish, trout, black drum, flounder, blue crabs and more!

 

Depending on the property, you may find features such as private fishing piers, boat docks, fishing lights, fish-cleaning stations, and outdoor spaces where you can relax after a day on the water.

 

Whether you’re an experienced angler or simply hoping to spend a quiet evening fishing with the family, a waterfront rental puts one of Rockport’s favorite activities right outside your door.

Waterfront Homes for Families and Friends

A waterfront stay isn’t just for fishermen and boaters.

These homes are also a great choice for families and friends who want outdoor space, water views and a relaxing place to spend time together. Morning coffee by the water, afternoons watching boats and wildlife, and colorful Rockport sunsets can become just as memorable as the activities you planned for the trip.

Many of our waterfront homes also offer features such as swimming pools, covered patios, outdoor dining areas, grills and spacious living areas. Amenities vary by property, so you can choose the home that best fits your stay.

Find the Right Waterfront Rental for Your Rockport Getaway

Choosing between bayfront and canal-front really comes down to how you plan to enjoy the water.

If wide-open views, fishing and the feel of the bay are your priority, a bayfront home may be the perfect fit.

If you’re bringing a boat and want convenient dock access, a canal-front property may make more sense.
