Whether you are interested in birding, boating, fishing or simply watching the sun set, The Sunset Bay Escape has it! The Sunset Bay Escape is a 7 bedroom house located on Port Bay near Rockport, Texas. Port Bay is a back bay off of Copano Bay in the Texas Coast with EXCELLENT fishing. We have caught over 40 fish in one evening off the fishing pier.
This house is not a canal home but a BAY home and fully equipped with EVERYTHING you might need for your stay. You need only bring you self, food and clothes. We provide everything else including all linens, towels, pans, dishes, etc. There are not 5 cups, glasses and plates here. There is PLENTY of good plate, pans and utensils. If something necessary is missing, let us know. There is a high-quality Pit Boss Grill with Propane, Charcoal and built in Smoker.
We are KID and PET FRIENDLY!!! We have 5 kids of our own and have tried to include all the things to keep the kids entertained.
When you are at The Sunset Bay Escape, if feels like you are a million miles from civilization, but you are only 8 minutes to a Super Walmart! You drive through a lot of ranch land and then, suddenly, you emerge in a Jewel of a place on a wonderful, isolated bay.
The Sunset Bay Escape is a luxurious three story house that has two full kitchens - one upstairs and one downstairs! It has a large Master Suite upstairs with an oversized tiled shower and large Jacuzzi tub. There are four bedrooms on the second floor with two being Masters and two more bedrooms on the ground floor. Enjoy our Five Large Flat-Screen TV’s and three Blu-Ray DVD players using our collection of DVDs. For the little ones, we have a play set out back.
Right out the back door is Port Bay and your own 350 foot lighted pier with direct access to the water. Port Bay is full of redfish, shark, trout, flounder, gafftops, whiting, croakers, sheepheads and drum. There is no commercial fishing in the Bay so fishing is GOOD! Kayaks/rafts and basic fishing gear provided as well as bright fishing lights on the pier. Don't forget to look for the dolphins!
Bring your boat! There is a boat launch very close by, and you can tie it up to our pier. Also, with your boat, you have easy access to Copano Bay, considered by all to have some of the best fishing on the Texas Coast! We now have a 18 ft. wide driveway so you can park on one side of the drive way and still get in and out on the other sire AND to accommodate larger vehicles and boats.
For the wildlife enthusiast, there is an abundance of wildlife in the area. You can see deer, raccoon, possum, turkey, rabbit and other wild animals in and around the area. Rockport has several Wildlife areas in and around town.
For the birding enthusiast, this area is teaming with a large variety of bird species including Black-necked Stilts, Ibis, Rosette Spoonbills, Reddish Egrets, Gull and Tern species, Least Turns, Rails and Snipe, wintering Geese, Sandhill Cranes, Brown Pelicans and White-tailed Hawks. You might even see endangered Peregrine Falcons or Wood Storks.
On Lamar Peninsula just across the Copano Bay Causeway you can see wintering Whooping Cranes and the BIG Tree near the shores of St. Charles Bay. There are a number of birding sites within a few miles of the house including Goose Island State Park also on Lamar Peninsula. Go to https://aransaspathways.com/ to see a good list of the birding sites in the area.
Rockport is a short drive away with a nice sandy city beach, museums, shopping, great places to eat (plus a few dives) and antiques. Go to https://www.rockport-fulton.org/51-Things-To-Do for a list of a LOT more things to do and place to see around Rockport!

Summary: Overall the house is amazing, bathrooms stocked with toilet paper and hand soap, so no need to bring extra, however the internet wasn’t available the first couple days, and the Refrigerator wasn’t making ice on the second floor. Our fishing experience wasn’t great, barely caught anything worth keeping. The location to town was only about 15 minutes. One thing I would ask for is a charcoal grill instead of the propane one. Overall the house was perfect for our family vacation of 25.
