What Our Residents Are Saying

Real feedback from people who call Down By The Bay home.

"The waterfront location is the real deal. I wake up every morning to the bay right outside my window. The breeze keeps it cool even in the Texas heat. Already booked for next season."

Robert T.

Winter Texan — 2nd Season

"Quiet, clean, and the staff is easy to work with. The on-site laundry is a huge convenience. Monthly rate is fair for what you get — especially with the water view."

Maria G.

Long-Term Resident

"I work construction in the area and needed a reliable place to stay. The WiFi works great, the pad is spacious enough for my rig, and it's a lot quieter than other parks I've stayed at."

Beautiful park on Copano bay next to the mouth of the Aransas River. With a new public boat launch. The bay and the river are really great for fishing red and black drum, speckled trout and there are some huge gar also a few small sharks and an occasional sheepshead. The views are amazing and the birds are all over the salt flats so bring your camera.
