Coastal Escape Waterfront 2BR 2BA Cottage with Private Pier-300 Ft, sleeps 8. | Cottage in Bayside
2 Bedroom Cottage in Refugio County, Bayside
Welcome to the Quiet Side of the Texas Coast
Built in 1939 and nestled along the shores of Copano Bay, our historic waterfront cottage has been thoughtfully updated while preserving its original character. We’re continuing to lovingly restore this special home one project at a time, blending modern conveniences with the timeless charm of a classic Texas coastal cottage.
It’s the kind of place where mornings begin with coffee on the porch as the sun rises over the bay, afternoons are spent fishing from the private pier, and evenings end beneath a sky full of stars with the gentle sounds of the water. Whether you’re planning a family vacation, fishing trip, or simply looking for a peaceful place to unwind, we hope you’ll feel right at home.
