Joys Beach House- Historic waterfront home, Aransas Bay views! 200 ft pier!

Historic waterfront home with amazing Aransas Bay views! 200 foot pier access! Enjoy gorgeous unobstructed sunrises, bay views, and bay breezes from the porch and the balconies. Fish from the pier or wade fish. This beautiful four bedroom, three and a half bathroom home sleeps up to nine people. The first floor features a spacious open concept kitchen, dining, and living area. The living room has plenty of seating and is a great place to gather for movie night or the big game, if you can pull your eyes away from the bay views! The dining table seats six and there is additional seating for three at the massive kitchen island. Along with plenty of prep area, the kitchen is fully stocked with all you need to whip up a meal or a pitcher of sangria. There are two bedrooms on the first floor. One has a queen bed and attached bathroom. The second has two twins and a twin trundle bed. The half bathroom is located here as well. There is a large parlor room with fantastic water views. This is a great spot for games and cocktails.
Upstairs features two more bedrooms. The first has a queen bed, a sitting area, an attached bathroom, and balcony access.
The second bedroom has a king bed, a sitting area, attached bathroom, and balcony access as well. Both rooms have a coffeemaker for those lazy mornings when you would prefer to take in the sunrise and enjoy some solitude from the balcony without having to walk downstairs first.
Come and make new memories with family and friends at Joys Beach House!

We loved the location. The stairs may be a problem in the future. The five of us are ages from 72 to 79. The beds were very comfortable and kitchen was great. It would have been nice to have foil and baggies in the kitchen and the garage can drawer needs repairs. The top shelf of the dishwasher also needs to be repaired. Overall it was a wonderful stay. The view was beautiful!

The location of the house was great for the beaches we wanted to visit both in Rockport and Port Aransas. The bedroom with the king size bed was WARM all weekend. You had to go through a bathroom to get to a bedroom and through a bedroom to get to the front door. Strange!Liked that each bedroom had a bathroom!

VERY ROOMY; Everyone had a bedroom and a bath; rooms were very spacious. Balconies were enjoyable to sit on in the mornings to watch the sunrise and to relax in the evenings.

Beach and Fishing

Great house! Plenty of room and well stocked. Plenty of kitchen cookware, etc. - including both types of coffee makers. 3 1/2 bathrooms!!!!!! Access to the fishing pier was perfect. Great location - close to Rockport Beach and Main Street for shopping and dining. Cute photo ops off Main Street and there is a candy store! It was a little hot upstairs, so I suggest bringing a fan. It's an older house so it is expected. Wifi was spotty but that is normal in small towns - especially during the windy season and by the water. Can't wait to book again!

Rockport spring break

The place is definitely an older stay, reminds me of Agatha Christie books but it had modern amenities. There was enough room for the family, my mother in law got her own room on first floor. Place was a lot bigger than I expected, didn’t know about the parlor in front. The pier was fun, caught a lot of fish, black drum red drum, and catfish. If you feel really brace, you can wade in and go chest deep for sea trout. Communication with host was excellent. We plan to visit again. The drum were biting off right side off pier during evening.

Look Elsewhere If You’re Coming To Fish

Booked this house based upon the photos and fishing access it provided. We arrived at the house to a pier that was dissembled and laying in the driveway. Though I had asked about any damage to the property before booking, no indication was given of this. AC struggles to keep the two upstairs rooms cool at night. House sleeps 6 comfortably. Sleeping accommodations outside the bedrooms were very uncomfortable. House was decently clean when we arrived. We had to clean anything used in the kitchen, so keep that in mind before using anything. Overall the location was fine, but lacked the basic amenities you would expect from a house near the beach. As I mentioned if you are coming to Rockport to fish, seek elsewhere for a better suited location.
