About this property

Dolphin Bay, Waterfront home w/pool, bay views and boat dock, sleeps 10.

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.

Summer Coast Vacation

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.

Relaxing stay

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.

Our emergency stay turned fantastic!

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 !

Relaxing, Refreshing & Fun!!!

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!

First Visit To Texas

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.

About the host

Hosted by Amanda Whelan and James Whelan

Host profile image
We have been long time second homeowners on Key Allegro. We love the peace and quiet here. The bird watching is amazing, and dolphins are always seen every time we go into the bay, and they do come up our canal. Shopping is very good on Austin Street which is the historical part of Rockport with some very unique privately owned shops. Visit the new Art Centre. Rockport has some great restaurants, such as Gabriela's Tapa Bar and Restaurant just across the bridge from Key Allegro, 495 Chesapeake Eats and Latitude 28 02 Coastal Cuisine & Fine Art, Moondog Seaside Eatery, The Groove. Pier 77 is a place where you can BYOB with large portions of delicious home cooked food. The Sugar Shack is a fun bar on Fulton Beach Road.

Why they chose this property

Our home is a very relaxing home. You will enjoy the pool which stays cool in the hot Texas summers because it gets the afternoon shade at about 3pm and the sea breezes add additional . You can sit outside downstairs and be cool under the shade of the upper deck. We have two barbeque grills to cookout on.

What makes this property unique

The pool stays cool because of the afternoon shade. There are two sun loungers and four poolside chairs, and the seating area under the house to relax in. There are outside hanging lights to light up the deck and pool area in the evenings. The pool lights change color and are very pretty. Watch the Pelicans, Herons, Cormorants and Egrets fly past. You will see dolphin swim up and down our cancal too. Usually early morning.
