Welcome to the Fish Crazy house on the water at 918 Pompano in historic Port
Isabel on the fingers channel.
This home is a fishermans paradise, with a 20’ long x 8’ wide dedicated boat
slop with included Parking for a truck and trailer for your boat is available
on the property next to the house plus room for 2 more vehicles in the
driveway and as a bonus, a one car garage.
Put your boat in and let’s go fishing with a public boat ramp right now the
street. Or, go fishing and the rest go the the nearby beaches of South Padre
Island just a few miles away with dozens of public beach access points (all
beaches in Texas are public)
\- two vacations in one here - and avoid the super high Island prices.
This traditional older home features 2 bedrooms / 2 full bathrooms upstairs,
that includes a king bed in the master, a queen in the 2nd bedroom, adjacent
to an open concept kitchen that opens to the dining room and living room area.
The living area does have a Sleeper sofa as well as airbed, plus bring bedding
if you plan on using, all linens & bedding provided for all other beds - all
other beds have linens ready to go :)
From there you will notice all the glass to the water, and a patio that walks
out to a truly massive 2nd level deck with a gas BBQ grill (pls bring gas/LP
tank we do not provide).
Below the deck is your dedicated boat slip - perfect for any shallow sport or
bay fishing boat.
The kitchen is fully equipped with all pots, pans, dishes, etc ready for you
to make easy breakfast tacos before the fishing or cook your catch at night,
whether you choose for pan fry or use the gas grill on the patio.
We do provide an airbed and pump for extra sleeping space in the living room,
but please bring bedding if you plan on using :)
Once again remember to bring Gas/LP for the grill as do not provide the tank.
The fingers or channel in PI lead out the laguna madre bay with true World
Class fishing for trout, snapper, reds, & more - arguably one of the finest
fisheries in Texas let alone North America!
Downstairs is the “captain’s quarters” with a small efficiency style 1 bedroom
bathroom, and a queen bed for great privacy that has a door out to the 1 car
garage stall you may use.
The back door of the garage leads out to the boat slips - one of which is all
yours. You can also access the slips along the outside of the home.
It is important to note that there are 2 other boat slips that are leased but
offer no access to the home nor are accessed even outside at night so privacy
is assured.
If you seek a comfortable albeit somewhat dated yet very clean family style
home to relax at, Fish Crazy is it! Pompano is a very quiet street.
This home is perfect for a group of guys that want to have a couple after a
long day on the water with the massive deck, to families that want to fish and
or paddleboard SUP off the docks. While South Padre Island is 5 or 6 miles
from here, you can't beat the value of this home.
While we do allow up to 10 guests as we know kids may be with, it would only
really be comfortable for 6 adults, please note.
No boat? No sweat. Fish right here!
Message us for off season discounts in September and May for stays 4 nights or
longer.
We do offer active military discounts as well as football coach discounts (I
coach youth football at Lake Travis, TX and appreciate your efforts with the
kiddos) just message me before you book so I can hook you up!
This is a hard to find gem & Port Isabel has some sights and food too - from
the infamous Pirate’s Den to the scrumptious Josefine’s Breakfast & lunch spot
- to a the new Brew Haus Hopper bar & grill to Iconic Isabel’s Cafe with
authentic valley migas & breakfast tacos simply not be missed - there is
something for everyone.
Nightlife there are several bars in Port Isabel as well, from DoubleDave’s
Sports Bar to catch games, to The Shark Tank with lively Karaoke. You must
take your kiddos to climb the historic lighthouse off the square, and the
historical museum as well as abundance of unique shopping in PI is well worth
a vacation.
While we have the best available Internet/wifi from spectrum they are the only
provider on the island and up time and coverage can be spotty at times we want
you to be aware of that
If you can't find the network name SouthPadreTrips it's usually means we had a
power outage and when the power comes back on It typically defaults the router
to the factory network name and password, which is located on a sticker on top
of the router.
Generally, if you reboot the router by unplugging it for a few minutes and
plugging it back in it will pop up
Want to go to South Padre Island for beach and swimming? Not a problem, it is
but 5 to 10 minutes away. Coolers, pop up tents, and BYOB friendly are the
beaches on the island. Park along gulf blvd or side streets and walk down to
one of many public beach access points.
Please message me for our active military as well as off season discounts Sept
2 to Dec 22nd
