    We request that you call ahead to verify your check-in time. We cannot allow you to enter units while they are being cleaned. If you would like to drop off your supplies and go fishing, please let us know and we’d be happy to arrange that for you.

    If you are out fishing, and get "in the fish", and don’t want to come back in to dock, please call us at 361-983-4371. Sometimes we can arrange late check-out, or perhaps make a change in our cleaning schedule.

  • What if I need to cancel my booking?

    We understand things happen. While we do have a cancellation policy in place, if you must cancel your trip for unforeseen reasons, please email info@pocrentals.com as soon as possible. Often there are other fishermen or guests who would be interested in picking up your rental. If we can re-book your rental unit, we will refund your deposit. So, please let us know as soon as possible so we can help each other, and maybe even another fisherman.
