Copano Bayfront Home w 385' private pier w night lights!

Spectacular bayfront home in Rockport Texas on Copano Bay. Located directly on Copano Bay with fabulous unobstructed views from the home and pier. The 385' private pier is completely lighted with a T-head (w extra green fishing lights), covered area, a kayak ramp, and additional lowered deck (for boats), and extends beyond the majority of the piers on Copano Bay. Two 1500 watt green sport fishing lights at T-head. Lighted fish cleaning station located in fenced in yard.

Big Blue is 3 bedrooms/2 baths and is smartly decorated with all new furniture, stainless steel appliances, pots/pans, dishware and linens.

Living room (w/wood vaulted ceiling), kitchen (with granite breakfast bar and countertops and custom cabinets) and dining areas (both breakfast bar and dining table) have unobstructed amazing views of Copano Bay. The large open living/dining area has an audio Sonos system with soundbar and subwoofer (which creates a separate sound system or a surround sound from the new 65' Smart HDTV) with additional speakers on the upstairs back porch. The Sonos system is accessible via a wall mounted iPad controller or can be accessed via the Sonos app on any smart phone.

Master bedroom is bayfront with luxurious king bed and large bathroom w dual sinks, walk in shower, 2nd bedroom has view of Salt Lake (across road) and has a queen bed, 3rd bedroom is a double bunk bed (four twins). 2nd bath is large w dual sinks separated from bathtub/toilet.

Spacious living room with two oversized sofas including a queen pull out sofa and additional seating and table seating areas. House sleeps 10 in beds. Additional linens are at the home for extra guests. All living/bedroom area is upstairs.

Upper covered decks on both front and back. The upper Copano Bay deck has an outside dining area as well as numerous chairs. Back deck faces pier and Copano Bay and front deck faces Salt Lake (across road). Fenced yard and additional downstairs covered area (with two large family sized 12' picnic table and gas grill).

We also own the large vacant bayfront lot next door. Guests are able to use it as well and enjoy the privacy of having the vacant lot adjacent to Big Blue.

Kayaks are available for use. Copano Bay and Salt Lake are excellent kayaking areas. Please contact owner directly about kayaks.

Our guest have enjoyed the home, the pier, the charm of Rockport, the fishing, the bird and dolphin watching, the night fishing lights, the kayaks, the coast breeze, grilling and the amazing sunsets.

The calendar is UP TO DATE! If the dates you want are available on the calendar, no need to send an Inquiry. Just Book It! Until booked, it stays available on line. If a 3 night minimum is holding you up and its not prime season...contact me and we might be able to change to 2 nights.

You will love the property. Its a great vacation home. The house was designed and furnished to accommodate large groups, family, couples, and family groups. The home has accommodated numerous families as well as wedding parties, fishing groups, and college reunions. Its kid friendly yet completed in a grown up kinda way. Our cleaning crew are amazing and have thoughtfully kept the home in top shape. We have tried to include everything needed in a vacation rental. We want you to look forward to your visit, enjoy your time here…and make plans to come back soon! We have lots or repeat guests at Big Blue.

The 385’ PRIVATE pier is a fisherman’s dream! And kids can spend hours on the pier and under the covered gazebo over Copano Bay.

Many folks book a year in advance for their favorite repeat visits. Reserve the home soon!

Wonderful place!
We really enjoyed our stay at Big Blue with family and friends. The home was spacious, clean and safe for our 13-month-old. We had a blast fishing off of the pier and even had dolphins swim right up to it, it was an awesome experience! The local bait shops are a great recource for fishing tips and tricks!

We love this house so much.
This was our second time our family of four has visited this lovely property in Rockport. The house just couldn't be cleaner, more warmly decorated, or more comfortable. It's very roomy and very well laid out. The private pier is the highlight with great night time fishing lights. We look forward to returning time and time again.

Yet another great stay
Thank you again Lori for providing a wonderful 'beach' house - we always look forward to fishing off the pier (caught some keepers)! The house is back to its post hurricane greatness and was wonderful for our long weekend. Only minor suggestions would be a recycle trash can and providing soap for the bathrooms. Thanks again Lori - we will be back for sure!!!!

Another Amazing HomeAway Vacation!!
We just returned from another wonderful HomeAway vacation! We stayed at this beautiful home with my husband's parents. We had such a wonderful time here. The homeowners attention to details was perfect! We've been to Rockport several times and this was the best! We particularly enjoyed the wonderful, long pier and the kayaks. Also, the crab traps gave us a lot of crabs. It was truly a great experience and we highly recommend this property!

We stayed with 4 adults and 2 kids once again at Big Blue and really enjoyed ourselves! You can't beat the lighted pier with great fishing and the relaxing porch area! The kids loved the bunk room. The house is very nice and clean. We can't wait for another trip to the house. Thanks again Lory!!

Fabulous Home!
We had a wonderful time in your beautiful home! The boys fished for hours on end, day and night, while I took advantage of the covered deck and lounged around reading. We cooked every night and thoroughly enjoyed the grill and the spacious kitchen. We enjoyed exploring the quaint shops in Rockport (off the main highway) and Fulton Harbor. The last evening there, I saw 6 dolphins--what a delight! Thank you for sharing your home with us and we hope to return next year.

Three Day getaway
This is the first time we use this property, and were very pleased with it. the location , the furnishing, the upgrades were great. We had a few days with rain showers but the property made up for it. The fishing is excellent at night with those fishing lights. My grandson and I had a ball catching all those trout. My great-great-son (5yrs old) caught his first fish there and we have a picture of his catch. Great property for a family.

Family Vacation
The perfect property to host our family vacation. This property exceeded our every expectation. We have rented a number of properties through VRBO, but this one is definitely number 1. Extremely clean, with everything your need to enjoy your stay. The beds are very comfortable, which is difficult to find in most properties. Our grandkids fell in love with this place, as we all did, especially fishing from the pier. Caught lots of fish every night, even a few keeper trout. The owner, Lori, was a joy to work with and always available if needed. We will definitely consider this location for future vacations.

Great fishing and great family time
This house was amazing for our annual family fishing trip. The pictures do not do this house justice. It was a very comfortable and enjoyable house. We enjoyed cooking meals in the kitchen. We enjoyed seeing the sunset and sunrise from the porch. The pier is great and the fishing was great. Caught multiple keepers so we had a fish fry. We had a slight issue and the owner was right on top of it and the housekeeper that came to assist was absolutely wonderful! Great rental!

Awesome house
We had a great time staying at the house. We loved how open the house and downstairs area are, which was great for our large group. The kitchen and bartop area as well as upstairs balcony were nice places for us to eat and hang out. We took the kayaks out and had a good time. Just be careful launching them, as there are some sharp barnacles on those rocks. We enjoyed night fishing on the long private pier. Overall it was a great experience, and everyone in our group loved the place. I recommend staying longer than 3 nights, because you won't want to leave. Now that we know how great the place is, next time we definitely will stay longer.

Another great Easter weekend at Big Blue!
This was our second time spending Easter weekend at Big Blue. The first was before Harvey. It’s so good to see Rockport’s resilience. Big Blue was just as we remembered. We had a great time fishing from the lighted pier at night, catching quite a few speckled trout. The back deck is an oasis, and we enjoyed our morning coffee and evening cocktail while taking in the amazing sunrise and sunsets. The house is perfect for me and my husband, and his brother and family of 5. We’re looking forward to returning again soon!

About the host

Hosted by Lory Johnson

Host profile image
We have been visiting Rockport for 50+ years. Copano Bay caught our attention many years ago. We have spent many hours designing and furnishing the home for all to enjoy. The home was completed in early 2013 and was listed for vacation rental for the first time in early June 2013. It was completely updated/renovated in 2018.

Why they chose this property

Big Blue on Copano Bay sits on a large lot (and now we own the vacant lot next door!). The lot fronts Copano Bay in Rockport Texas and directly across the street is Salt Lake. You can sit on any porch of the home and have an amazing view. Fishing and kayaking are awesome. The area is peaceful, private and the sunsets are amazing.

The house was designed and furnished to accommodate large groups, family, couples, and family groups. We have tried to include everything needed in a vacation rental. We want you to look forward to your visit, enjoy your time there…and make plans to come back soon! As many families have come back each year....and as the 100+ reviews clearly note...its a great place to enjoy your vacation.

What makes this property unique

The 385' private lighted pier was completed in May 2013 and expanded to add a boat docking area a few years later. It was the final touch to our Copano Bay bayfront home. Just after completion, a pod of dolphins hung around playing at the end of the pier. Super fun to watch! The sport fishing lights and additional covered area make for a awesome time fishing with family and friends. Many guests have brought their boats to tie up to the dock.
