About this property

Exceptional Waterfront Home with 165 foot fishing pier

Welcome to the " Copano Bay Fin and Feather" located in picturesque Copano Bay. Same incredible house with new owner. My home offers some of the best fishing and bird watching on the Texas Gulf Coast. Combine this with the awesome sunsets and smell of the fresh salt air and you will never want to leave. This spacious home has three living quarters. There is an upstairs (third floor) "Captains Quarters" with private En Suite including a Tub, Shower and extra-large closet with its own balcony overlooking the bay. The second floor includes two bedrooms, each with its own En Suite, a large fully furnished kitchen and dining area, a great room and a game room with pool table. The downstairs living area is newly remodeled and has two bedrooms one with a bunk bed full and twin (Matey's Room) and one with two queen sized beds (Mermaid Room). The downstairs bath has been remodeled and expanded to include an extra-large Rain Shower). There is also a Cabana Room which has a large screen TV and two bar tables and chairs along with a cabana bar and buffet. The remainder of the downstairs includes a washroom and 2 car garage and workshop with ample parking outside.
My home has a new fishing pier and a separate boat dock (both equipped with green lights). Catching the "Texas Grand Slam" a Flounder, a Speckled Trout and a Red Fish from the 165-foot pier with T-Head is not uncommon. There are a couple of rod holders to fish the channel for Reds while you drink some Texas Tea while listening to your favorite beach tunes.
We have also recently added a stainless steel offset smoker/grill so you can enjoy outdoor cooking while enjoying the view or fishing.
Yes, my house has Direct TV and I also have Wi-Fi---- however I suggest turning off the TV and Computer. Put away those cell phones and learn to relax and listen to the sounds of nature with each sunrise and sunset.

Copano Bay

This place worked out really well for our family of five. The weather didn't necessarily cooperate but we found things to keep us occupied. Saw some great sunsets and quite a variety of birds/ducks/pelicans. Donated a couple fishing poles, a gaff and last but not least, a can opener.

The 2nd floor is great for gathering, making meals and hanging out! Lots of room to spread out, an awesome pier for fishing with green lights and a separate cleaning station. We are lookimg forward to booking again for our 3rd annual company trip next summer!!

Roomy home with great water access!

This home is everything the pictures show. Lots of room for families to spread out, good bathrooms for all the bedrooms, beautiful kitchen, TV's that work properly, plenty of towels/linens, and friendly neighbors. The outside area was fenced which was wonderful. We had easy access to the water from right off the back porch or from the two piers available. Our stay weather wise was full of strong winds and high heat, so the fishing was minimal but fun! There was also plenty of outside seating and a smoker for outside eating/visiting. The owner was very quick to respond to any questions we had before our stay and provided us with a great checklist. Thank you so much!

Perfect Spring Break Getaway

We stayed during our Spring Break and the house was perfect for our family. There was plenty of room for all of us and our 2 dogs especially since it had a fence so we did not have to worry about the dogs wondering off. We had stayed here 5 years ago and the new owner Chad had did some great updates, especially the longer pier with lights to fish from. We caught lots of fish, black drum, reds and a few trout some of which were keepers. We even caught a 41 inch big ugly but we let that one go. One of the neighbors said that her husband had caught that fish before and named it Casper. We also caught many fish just sitting on the back porch when it was too windy to fish from the pier. The kitchen was stocked very well which was great when we cooked some of our meals there. The only issue we had was that the water was off one afternoon due to some road construction nearby and when we texted Chad he was quick to respond. We had a wonderful time and will definitely stay here again.

Amazing Thanksgiving Stay

It is tradition for my family to stay at the coast on Thanksgiving and this year was no different. It was my family of four that included a 3 and 6 year old. We stayed on the top floor in the heavenly King size bed. It had a luxurious large tub that the kids enjoyed as well as this mama! My brother and sister-in-law stayed in the apartment style suite at the bottom with their dog. It was perfect for them as they could easily take her out at night. My parents who are a bit older slept on the main floor so that they could gather in the living space and in the kitchen without having to go up and down the stairs. The house was equipped with two washers and dryers which made for easy and quick laundry to be done…so convenient! Fishing right off the bank was great as the kids didn’t have to go far. Both kids caught their very first keepers which were drum. We also caught some reds and a sheephead. The house had an amazing view, plenty of space with three sofas and enough essentials to last the week. Our host was superior as he equipped the house with everything we needed. He gave us all the information to check in and check out and was super quick with a response when we had any questions. This is by far our favorite house we’ve stayed at and we will hopefully be back many more times!

Weekend getaway

This is a well appointed, home with everything we needed for a relaxing weekend get together with siblings and spouses. House was very clean and linens were of good quality and quantity. Kitchen had everything you'd need for food preparation . Dock was nice for fishing off of, but if you have your own boat or kayaks would be perfect.

Coastal Getaway

Chad’s house was the perfect place for our annual family coastal getaway. The house was well laid out and provided more than enough space for our party of 6. The lighted fishing piers were a great addition to our trip. Although fishing was a bit slow due to the windy conditions, we were still able to catch a few speckled trout keepers. Another great addition was the stainless steel off-set smoker than was recently added by Chad, and which we took advantage of almost every day during our stay. Chad was a great host and responded extremely quick whenever we had questions, even offering several fishing tip recommendations on bait and tackle that had been successful off the pier. Our weeks stay flew by and everyone, especially our 8 and 12 year old granddaughters, hated to see it come to an end. Chad’s house will definitely be on our list for future vacations.

Great Getaway in Rockport on Copano Bay

For the 3rd straight summer, our group of 4 couples have visited Rockport for food, fishing and fellowship. This house checks all the boxes for us. Close enough to town and Goose Island. The bedrooms are generous with ample bathrooms. The open kitchen-dining-great room is terrific to eat, visit and have a beverage. The option to fish off the pier is great. We will see you again.

About the host

Hosted by Chad Henneke

I am a life long Texan and grew up and still live in Columbus, TX.

Why they chose this property

I have always enjoy hunting and fishing and dreamed of having a home on a bay somewhere along the Texas Coast. Following the suggestion of some good friends I decided to look in Rockport. This house was the first that my wife and I toured and all the others could not compete with the views and spaciousness this house offered. We look forward to spending as much time as we can here and hope you enjoy your stay here as well.
