Marina’s Cozy Cottage. Family friendly with cold AC in summer and warm winters!

We are located on the Beautiful Arroyo Colorado River which is part of the intercoastal water way. We have barge traffic up and down the river to the Port of Harlingen. Our dock is set up for night fishing with water, electricity, and fish cleaning station on the dock. We have 1 boat slip that can accommodate bay fishing boats up to 25 feet. You can go by boat to the Bay in 10 minuets and to South Padre Island in less than a hour(30 minutes by car). There is plenty of good fishing . From the dock you can catch speckle trout, snook, red/black drum, and sheep head . We routinely see Dolphins swimming in the river, pelicans flying, white tails and turkeys roaming the neighborhoods with occasional views of exotic wild life (axis deer and Nilgai) across the waterway.

If you do not have a boat, we can provide you with contact information for professional fishing guides. Information is available upon request.

This property is perfect for those looking to relax, fish, and get away from city life. Come visit and see why so many others frequently visit this awesome and hidden fishing paradise.

It is Conveniently located across the only country store in the area.
