About the property

Welcome to Heron by the Sea, a relaxed waterfront cottage tucked into the quiet last channel of Long Island Village. Sip coffee on the deck as herons and dolphins drift past, fish from the private dock, then grill dinner as the sun sets over the bay. Inside, a bright living room, full kitchen, and two bedrooms give your group room to spread out. Watch for SpaceX activity across the water, then enjoy the resort's pools, golf, and tennis. Port Isabel and South Padre are minutes away.

Heron by the Sea sits along the quiet last channel on the west side of Long Island Village, a gated waterfront resort community in Port Isabel. This easygoing two-bedroom cottage is built for slow mornings on the water and active days at the resort. A private dock invites you to fish, watch for dolphins and wading birds, or simply take in the wide bay views. Upstairs, a covered balcony is the perfect spot to grill, relax on the glider, and look out toward SpaceX's Starbase across the water.

Inside, the home is bright and comfortable, with an open living room, a full kitchen, a sunny dining room, and an enclosed sunroom that frames the water. Whether you are here to fish, golf, explore South Padre, or just unwind by the bay, Heron by the Sea gives you an easy, welcoming home base on the Texas Gulf Coast.
