Discover Coastal Living at Marea at Estes Flats

If you’re dreaming of waterfront living on the Texas Gulf Coast, Rockport's latest real estate development, Marea at Estes Flats, offers one of the most thoughtfully designed coastal-living communities around. With just 67 premium homesites, Marea blends intimacy, design integrity, and direct access to some of the best fishing, boating, and coastal recreation on the Gulf.

What Makes Marea Unique

• Anglo-Caribbean-inspired coastal architecture. Marea draws on Caribbean, Louisiana Tidewater, and Coastal Texas influences featuring metal roofs, deep porches, generous balconies, and wide verandas designed to catch the breezes off the bay and support indoor-outdoor living.
• Three paths to homeownership. Whether you prefer selecting a model home from a builder, buying a pre-approved plan + lot, or designing a fully custom home here, Marea’s “method” allows flexibility to match your vision and lifestyle.
• Every homesite comes with a private boat slip. Even the lots set back from the shoreline include deeded slip. This means all residents enjoy access to canals, inlets, flats, and the open bay. No fighting over slips; water access is baked into the design.
• Thoughtful neighborhood planning. The community is laid out in micro-neighborhoods — from Garden Villas to Cape Estates — stitched together by boulevards, pocket-parks, preserved shoreline and two marinas, all nestled around a private cove. 

Lifestyle: Water, Nature, Simplicity

Marea isn’t just about a home, it’s about embracing the coastal lifestyle.

• Instant water access. Step off your dock and into boat-ready canals that lead directly to the flats and bay, perfect for fishing, boating, or a peaceful evening cruise.
• Relaxed, village-like atmosphere. With its low-density layout, preserved native grasses, shaded paseos, and harmonious architecture, Marea feels more like a charming fishing village than a typical development.
• Proximity to culture and community. Just minutes from downtown Rockport’s art galleries, festivals, local shops, and waterfront dining, you get quiet coastal living without sacrificing access to small-town charm and community life.

Why Marea at Estes Flats Matters for Rockport Buyers

For buyers seeking a lifestyle rooted in the water, in nature, and in coastal ease, Marea hits a sweet spot:

• It’s ideal for retirees, second-home buyers, or families who want a slow pace during the week and easy access to water, wildlife, and community on weekends.
• The deeded-slip model ensures fair and equal access to boating and the bay, which is rare in coastal developments where slips are limited to waterfront lots.
• The architecture and neighborhood design preserve a sense of place. This is not a cookie-cutter suburb; each home feels like part of a carefully curated coastal enclave.
• Thanks to a small number of homesites, Marea offers privacy and exclusivity, avoiding the drawbacks of large-scale developments or dense waterfront condos.
