About this property

NEW! Channelfront - Dock - Fishing - BBQ - Deck

WATERFRONT FISHING & BOATING



The biggest advantage of this property is the private channel-front dock and

boat slip directly behind the house.



This setup makes it perfect for guests who love fishing or bringing a small

boat.



You can:



• Fish directly from the dock

• Tie up a shallow sport type boat in the slip

• Relax on the lower deck right at water level

• Watch boats pass through the channel or bring your SUP stand up paddle board

or kayaks and enjoy the calm waters of the channel in front

• Enjoy peaceful waterfront sunsets from the upper deck

Welcome to our small waterfront fishing house on the channel in Port Isabel

with a private dock, boat slip, and two-level deck overlooking the water.

Port-O-Call Dockhouse is a unique small coastal retreat designed for anglers,

boaters, and families who want direct waterfront access for fishing and

boating.



Fish right from the dock, tie up your boat in the slip, or relax on the deck

watching boats cruise the channel at sunset. Located just minutes from

restaurants in Port Isabel and only 10–15 minutes from the beaches of South

Padre Island, this waterfront fishing getaway offers something hard to find —

your own dock where the water is truly your backyard.



Many guests love that kids can fish safely right from the dock without needing

a boat and is especially great with kids though we do recommend putting life

jackets on your kiddos just to be safe.



The property also features a two-level waterfront deck, creating multiple

places to enjoy the breeze, grill dinner, or watch the evening sunset over the

channel with some margaritas.



A gas BBQ grill is available for cooking your catch or whatever you please

(please bring your own propane tank).



Port-O-Call Deckhouse is a two-level fishing house located directly on the

channel in Port Isabel.



The home itself is small and quirky, but the real experience is outdoors —

where the dock, decks, and water access make it a perfect fishing basecamp. It

has 1 true bedroom downstairs, with a nook room for the twin over twin bunk

bed, and the balance of sleeping space on two sleepers sofas upstairs that

pull out to XL twin size beds.



If you are looking for a large luxury home, this is not that to be

transparent.



But if you want a fun waterfront fishing house that is something a bit

different, with a dock and boat slip, this is a great choice.



THE LAYOUT



This home has a two-level layout with exterior access between floors and

stairs required. There is not an internal staircase.



Ground Floor

• Main bedroom with queen bed

• Small side bunk room or nook with twin-over-twin beds

• Full bathroom

• Back door leading directly to the dock and lower deck



Second Floor (accessed via exterior deck stairs only)

• Fully equipped kitchen

• Standard size living room space with table

• Two sleeper sofas that fold out to XL twin beds

And act as the other “bedroom.”

• Access to a very large and nice upper deck overlooking the waterfront

channel



Again, there is no interior staircase, so guests move between floors using the

outdoor deck stairs.

The upside is two couples or dad fishing can split the space effectively for

great privacy.



KITCHEN & LIVING



The upstairs kitchen includes everything needed for preparing meals during

your stay:



• Pots and pans

• Cooking utensils

• Dishes and serving ware



Cooking at home is a great way to enjoy the day’s catch or prepare great time

& value saving family meals.



The kitchen and living room share an open space upstairs, creating a

comfortable spot to relax after a day of fishing, boating, or exploring Port

Isabel.



SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS (MAX 6 GUESTS)



Ground Floor Bedroom

• Queen bed



Bunk Nook

• Twin-over-Twin bunk beds



Upstairs Living Room

PORT ISABEL LOCATION



The house is located on Windward Drive in Port Isabel, a quiet coastal fishing

town just across the bridge from South Padre Island.



Nearby favorites include:



• Hopper Haus Bar & Grill – large craft beer selection

• Doubleday's Sports Bar & Grill

• Isabel’s and Josephine’s for coffee and breakfast

• Pelican Station – casual fine dining

• Pirates Landing – famous waterfront restaurant



If you catch fish during your stay, Pirates Landing will cook your catch or

Tom and Jerry’s on South Padre Island also offers “cook your catch” service.

• HEB grocery store and Walmart nearby



The beaches of South Padre Island are only 10–15 minutes away, offering boogie

boarding, skim boarding, and miles of Gulf shoreline.



Uber, taxis, and local cabs are available if you prefer not to drive.



IMPORTANT NOTES



Please understand the following before booking:



• This is a very clean value-priced fishing house but it is small

• The layout is unique with exterior stairs between floors and a bit funky

• The biggest advantage is the waterfront dock, boat slip, decks, and fishing

access



These factors are reflected in the pricing.

If using the BBQ grill, please bring your own propane tank.
