Welcome to The Lazy Bay | Canal Front Home with Boat Dock

The Lazy Bay

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Located between the towns of Rockport and Port Aransas, this 3-bedroom 2-bath canal front house is
the perfect setting for either a fishing or beach trip. Bring your boat and tie it up at the private 60-foot
dock. With the Intracoastal Waterway just minutes from the dock, you have ready access to the Aransas
Bay system and the numerous prime fishing spots of the Texas Coastal Bend.
WIth a wrap-around deck and covered patio below, this home has plenty of room to relax. Fish from the
private dock, watch the various shore birds visiting the canal, or simply enjoy lazy days at The Lazy Bay
while vacationing at this comfortable coastal home.
The property is part of the coveted City-by-the-Sea neighborhood, with the popular Crab 'N seafood
restaurant located within walking distance. Downtown Rockport, with its many shops and restaurants, is
a short 10-minute drive, as is family-friendly Rockport Beach, Texas' only Blue Wave Certified beach. If
you're looking to ride bigger waves, make the short 10-minute drive to the Port Aransas Ferry and enjoy
a day on the island.
LIVING AREAS
The open-concept living area features custom furniture with a large sofa, recliner, and three additional
comfortable chairs. The views will have you in true "Lazy Bay" mode, watching pelicans dive for fish and
boats cruising the canal. The classic coastal artwork is the perfect complement to the natural setting.
KITCHEN AND DINING
The kitchen was updated in the spring of 2024 and is well-equipped with everything you will need to
enjoy your stay, including both a Keurig and traditional coffee makers. The dining table for six is the
perfect spot to enjoy a meal or an after-dinner card game. 
BED AND BATH
Both bathrooms were updated in the spring of 2024.
The lower-level bedroom has an inviting king bed, perfect for relaxing after a day on the boat or at the
beach, a Roku TV, and an en-suite bath with a roomy walk-in tile shower. Please note that this room is
separately accessed from outside to the main house upstairs and cannot be accessed from inside the
home.
The upstairs bedrooms each have a king bed and share a double-vanity bath with a tub/shower
combination. The larger upstairs bedroom also has a set of twin-over-twin bunkbeds and a TV with
Roku-- perfect for families traveling with kids. 
OUTDOOR AREA & AMENITIES

Enjoy morning coffee or evening cocktails on the upstairs wrap-around deck, or head downstairs to the
covered patio outfitted with a glider, 4 Adirondack chairs, and a charcoal grill. 
Take advantage of over 60' of private dock space--bring your own boat, fish in the underwater green
light, or prepare your catch on the waterfront fish cleaning table. Please note the boat lift is not
available for guest use.

Rude neighbor

Our stay was but not pleasant. The neighbor directly across the channel was very rude and obnoxious. Our kids were fishing and he was making comments about not casting near his dock our in his direction. Then just to be rude and obnoxious he played the radio on his boat all night long. It was so loud that we could hear it inside the house. He blatantly played all night! Very annoying and difficult to sleep.

Great location and way cool backyard. Grandkids had a blast fishing at night. The place was great, had a problem with the refrigerator not staying cold and I thought the ceiling fans in the rooms were way too low, other than that it’s a great place

Quick Getaway

The house was beautiful and very clean. Loved the upper deck with the nice comfortable chairs overlooking the water. And the best part was that we were able to dock our boat right by the house and just get up and get on it and go. So convenient.

Great place

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: As indicated by all the 5 stars, we were quite happy. While it did not adversely affect us and we might have missed it in the description, the 3rd BR and 2nd bath are on the lower level and access is only by going outside.

Great place to stay

We had a wonderful time and it was very refreshing to stay in a place where everything worked. The location was great and everything was very clean and fresh (no musty anything.... which is not uncommon for places at the coast). All the appliances were new and the exterior was in very good condition as well. The only thing i wished were different would be the way you must access the property using an electronic lock set with a long code that must be input. I suspect that all the Vrbo properties are set up this way, so likely the same headache for everyone, but an old-school lockbox with a key would be much more convenient for the guests in my opinion. All in all a great and relaxing time and will be looking forward to going back and stay in the same place.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great place and location. Right off of Estes flats made it easy and convenient to head out in the kayaks. The cleaning station was a great addition and a welcome benefit. The house was nice and clean with plenty of space.

Fun Golf and Fishing Trip

We spent a week in this well equipped house. Fishing was great. Golf was near by. Excellent location. It was a little odd that the master bedroom was downstairs with only an outside entrance. However, it does state that in the description. So no surprise there. Would totally stay there again.

Turnkey property manager manipulative at best.

Purpose of my trip was fishing. We didn’t get off the boat until 11am. Checkout time was unreasonably early at 10am. I requested a late checkout between 11am and noon. Turnkey said no, that they had to have time to clean for next guest. But when I requested to extend an extra day they said yes. That cost me an extra day’s rental fee. Seeing how this property is obviously a property to attach fishing guests I think the checkout is unreasonable and turnkey property management are liars at best and thieves at worst.

We loved this property. Every bed was comfortable and the house was so clean. I do wish there was a tv in the upstairs king bedroom tho. The kitchen was stocked with quality things which is usually not the case. The view is amazing!! Will defiantly be back.
