Property Overview
About 166 La Joya
From the moment the front door opens, sweeping marina views take center stage, drawing the eye through the living spaces to the waterfront beyond. Set within the gated enclave of La Joya de Island Moorings, this extensively renovated Coastal Mediterranean residence offers 4,164 sq ft, 6 bedrooms, 5.5 baths, an office, captain's quarters, approximately 85' of marina frontage, and 3 boat slips just beyond the backyard gate. Designed for effortless coastal living and entertaining, the home features 2 primary suites, 1 on each floor, a dedicated 1st-floor office, and separate, air-conditioned captain's quarters or large tackle room with garage access. The waterfront living room is anchored by a wood-burning fireplace and built-in bar, while formal and casual dining areas complement a spacious two-island kitchen with a 48" JennAir gas cooktop, KitchenAid double ovens, and 48" built-in refrigerator. A wine refrigerator and ice maker add to the entertaining amenities. The main level includes a marina-view primary suite and guest bedroom. Upstairs, 4 additional bedrooms include a second primary suite opening to a private waterfront balcony. In all, 4 bedrooms of the bedrooms enjoy marina views. A comprehensive 2025 renovation pairs timeless coastal architecture with modern comfort. The upper level was taken to the studs and reconfigured, with improvements throughout including impact-rated windows and doors, 3 new HVAC systems and ductwork, UV air treatment, 2 dehumidifiers, spray foam insulation, and whole-home reverse osmosis. Soaring ceilings downstairs and upstairs, and abundant storage enhance everyday livability. Expansive covered and open-air patios overlook the marina, sheltered from prevailing coastal winds and equipped with outdoor speakers and gas and water connections for a future outdoor kitchen. The community pool is conveniently located next door. Here, the marina is more than a view; it is part of everyday life.

Before you make an offer
Ask for windstorm certificates on the roof, windows and any additions; San Patricio and Aransas are coastal windstorm counties. Check the flood zone and ask for an elevation certificate, especially near the bays and canals. On canal and waterfront homes, have the dock, boat lift and shoreline structures inspected, and ask about canal depth at low water. In Rockport, ask for permits and repair records on homes rebuilt after Hurricane Harvey. If you plan to rent the home out, check the city's short-term rental rules and any HOA rules first. Outside city limits, confirm whether the home is on sewer or septic.
Windstorm insurance and flood zones vary by property; Marci can point you to the right specialist. This isn't insurance or legal advice.

Good to know
Winter and spring northers can push water out of the shallow bays and canals for days, dropping levels well below normal. Waterfront buyers should ask about canal depth at low water before counting on year-round boat access.
