Tortuga Sunrise ~ Overlooking the Intercoastal Water Way!

Nothing compares to being right on the bay, and in this brand-new vacation home, you couldn’t ask for more. Enjoy exquisite sunrises over the bay with a cup of coffee on the deck. And this is just the beginning.

This beautiful 3-bedroom, 2.5 bath bayfront home is perfect for family vacations, awesome fishing trips to the coast with friends, or romantic getaways. The living room is lined with windows bringing Redfish Bay views into the house; you’ll feel your blood pressure drop just looking out at this tranquil setting.

Some of the best fishing in the coastal bend is literally out the door in Redfish Bay. Catch trout, redfish, flounder, and black drum from the private lighted pier behind the house. The famous Estes Flats fishing area is a short boat ride away or a few kayak paddles.

The home has soothing coastal colors with high-end finishes. Tortuga Sunrise features a large master suite with its own deck, and a king size bed which overlooks the bay and luxurious master bath with walk-in shower.  A second bedroom features a queen bed and sunset views. The bunk room has a twin/full bunk and a queen-size bed. These two bedrooms have separate vanities and toilets and share a tub shower combo. Just beautiful!

Downstairs you will find laundry room with a second refrigerator. Great for keeping all those drinks which always seem to take up too much room in the fridge.

Tortuga Sunrise features a large, fully fenced backyard, to safeguard children and dogs. So, grab your fishing pole and put a line in the water, sit back on the large deck and porch area and wait for the pole to bend. This can be done day and night on the lighted dock. Fishing under the lights is a fun way to end a relaxing day.

Even for non-fishermen, Sunrise is a perfect place to relax. There is great sightseeing from your deck for birds, porpoise and occasional sea turtles. The kids will enjoy seeing the boats going up and down the Intracoastal Waterway. Those up-close barges never get old. And sitting in the swing or hammock bathing in the breeze is almost addictive.

If you’re not an early riser, even for an exquisite sunrise, never fear. Tortuga Sunrise has some of the most breathtaking moonrises as well, especially when they are full.

This property is 10 minutes from the hub of downtown Rockport and its many special events, and 10 minutes from the Port A ferry, for playing on the beach.

Fishing Location Information: When you leave the house and cross the Intracoastal canal in search of redfish and trout the first stop would be the oyster reefs and islands in Estes Flats or Yucca Cut through Traylor Island. It is just a short boat ride less than 10 minutes to California Hole and the Klondike islands. This is a great place to catch trout and redfish. A short run across the main body of Aransas Bay is Mud Island and St Joseph’s Island, where the island helps break the typical south east breezes. If heading to Redfish Bay is in the plan, Hog island is on the way and a must stop, but don’t forget to fish the cut through the old terminal.  The reds sometimes hang in the cut, it’s not marked well so go slow so you don’t damage your prop.

If the weather is right fishing the jetties at Port Aransas is a lot of fun. You don’t know what you’ll catch and it’s a short 20 minutes boat ride from the house.

If you don’t have a boat, the islands in Estes Flats are easily accessible by kayak. There are lots of sand pockets on the way to Small Cut and Yucca Cut and places that most boats with motors can’t go.

Beautiful Home on the Intercostal

Great house w lots of space. Nice kitchen space w lots of extras--my adult kids were over the moon excited about the waffle maker The refrigerator/freezer leave a bit to be desired...no ICE maker is an inconvenience when it's 100 degrees and your staying a couple of days or a week. At this price point per day, I think an ice maker is in order.

Perfect home with amazing waterfront views!!!

We loved this home! The large windows all across the back of the home took in the beautiful water views and sunrises! We were even lucky enough to stay during full moon, which cast an amazing glow across the water. The large kitchen allowed several of us to cook our meals together with plenty of space. The kitchen was well stocked with everything you could need. And I can’t say enough about the beautiful coastal decor! And our family enjoyed fishing from the boat dock! Perfect home on the coast !!!

Family fishing trip

Great location on ICW. Was very windy but was still able to fish Estes flats and Redfish bay right behind the house and caught multiple redfish and trout during the day, and plenty of trout off the lights at night. If you do choose to utilize the boat lift, I would recommend getting specific dimensions of the lift, as we had some trouble with the lift, but ultimately were able to get it squared away. Very neat and updated interior.

Where do I Begin. The pictures do not do this beautiful home justice. The view. The decor. The cleanest VRBO we’ve ever rented. Kitchen was fully stocked from pots and pans, cooking & bbq utensils, coffee make and even a blender. Check-in and out process was seamless. Definitely recommend and will absolutely be back next year!

Another Thanksgiving at Tortuga Sunrise

This is the 3rd year we've booked Tortuga Sunrise for Thanksgiving and again we were just as satisfied with our stay as we were 3 years ago. We were lucky enough to enjoy a couple of unusually calm days with no wind, making the bay almost glassy. We caught a lot of speckled trout under the green light on the pier -- no keepers, but it was a lot of fun catching fish. I always bring a puzzle with me, and the huge dining room table makes for a great work surface. One of my favorites is seeing the massive ships passing by at night, I always wonder where they're on their way to and what they might be carrying. We only ate out twice. Once we got to go orders from Shempy's (practically just across the highway) and one night ate at 495 Chesapeake Eats in downtown Rockport. They have an extensive bourbon menu which drew my husband's attention, but the food was fantastic too. We scored some art at a local shop in downtown Rockport, that thankfully just fit inside the cab of our truck to get it home. Can't wait to get back again next year!

Had a great time for fishing trip.

This house was great! The location is perfect. We had a group of guys kayak and boat fishing and we were able to go straight out into the bay in front of the house. The house had plenty of room and was very comfortable. The kitchen was supplied very well. We didn’t catch anything of significance off the dock but we still had fun sitting on the dock fishing at night.

Great getaway

The property and home are fantastic. The unobstructed sunrise view every morning is special. Lovely bird, boat and porpoise watching from the back deck. The home is extremely well-appointed with everything you need. (We brought shampoo, conditioner and soap for the shower which was a good call). Wonderful kitchen/dining/living great room with excellent light and views. Kitchen setup and gear are some of the best we have experienced through VRBO. 10-15 minute drive to full-size grocery store (HEB), and restaurants. 12 minute drive to very cute downtown Rockport and nice public beach. Property Management team were friendly and helpful although we had no real needs during our stay. Check-in and check-out was swift and really easy. We will be back to this property.

Beautiful property with your own private dock for fishing if you're into that. The house is super clean, large and comfy. Also a great location, right in between Rockport and Port Aransas so you can enjoy two different beaches of your choosing. Will definitely be looking to stay here again next time we are in the area.
