• A perfect place to get away and have some good ole family fun!!

  5/5

  Ok, so the tale of 2 stories!!

  Reserved months in advance. Lucky us, TS Alberto moved in the night we got there. Kinda puts a damper on things but only if you let it. During the storm we hung out downstairs in the comfortable AC closed in lounge with big screen, refrigerator, dining table, bathroom, couches! Had poles and crab traps in the whole time. Not much luck with the fish during the storm but the blue crabs were going crazy! We caught over 30 crabs with about 15 of them being some BIG guys! Stayed downstairs all day crabbing, watching movies and playing board games to retire upstairs at night n get some rest. Beds are great. One bed was so soft, I felt bad for hogging it to myself so let my daughter have it the last half of the trip! Everything you need, it has! Fully stocked with utensils, Spices (so many spices) all condiments, food to get you started, and even some ice cold beer in the fridge! Never rented a place with so much!

  When the storm passed, the nearby beach took a beating and was closed as it was unpassable but we went a short distance to Matagorda beach and had a heck of a day in the sun! Put the poles back in the water and the fish started rolling in. Catfish, black drum, croakers and even a trout. Left with about 20 lbs of fish and 15 crabs we froze. The last night, thousands of bait fish, shrimp and crabs were just swimming around the pier begging to be caught. Got another 7 or so big crabs, about 10 lbs of bait to bring home and 10 lbs of bait for the owners! I've never seen so many fish and crabs in 41 years. I originally rented it for our jetski which didn't work out well but this was one of the funnest trips for us in a long time!!! Even if there was a couple days during the storm the wind was so strong you could barely walk in it or open the doors lol!!!!

  The owners are some of the friendliest owners I've ever met (through phone) and made every attempt to make sure we had anything and everything we wanted or needed! So cool I left them a 12 pack of ice cold beer for their efforts!

  Having your own personal boat ramp and pier can't be beat!

  Long story short, we will positively be back numerous times in the future! May even ride the jetski next time! 😉

  If you're looking for a place that has it all with no hassle, you've found it!

  From the owner: “We're deeply touched by your thoughtful review. As the storm approached, it was comforting to stay connected with you. We're overjoyed that, despite Tropical Storm Alberto's unforeseen arrival, your family discovered joy and solace in our home. It warms our hearts to know you found the lounge inviting and enjoyed the crabbing adventure! We're delighted the weather cleared up for you to savor Matagorda Beach and that your fishing endeavors were fruitful. Your meticulous care in tidying and maintaining the house didn't go unnoticed, it was an act of kindness, along with the beer (which are grateful for) and your storm updates. Your graciousness is truly appreciated.
   
  Your ability to turn an unexpected twist into a memorable family adventure is inspiring. We're so glad you chose our place for your getaway. We eagerly anticipate your next visit and hope to provide another exciting chapter to your ongoing vacation adventures, under hopefully sunnier skies and with just as much enthusiasm!"

• It's okay

  3/5

  This property is not what we thought. It is much older and smells like it. I thought for the money it would be somewhat nicer. It is a canal home. That was the only postive. All the outside table and chairs are rusted. The down stairs smells like moth balls to the point of being intrusive. The bed was comfortable and the back deck off the bedrooms is pretty cool. The air does blow cold. We would look for something else in the future for sure!!

  Manager's Response:

  Thank you for your honest feedback. We're glad you enjoyed the canal home's charm and comfortable beds. The back deck and effective air conditioning are highlights we're pleased you appreciated.
  -Rust on outdoor furniture is a challenge in location since it is on the Gulf, we've added a dedicated AC/heating unit to address humidity and downstairs smell and will run it more frequently. Your insights are invaluable, and we'll address the rust and downstairs concerns to enhance future stays. We appreciate your thoughts and hope to offer you an even better stay in the future.

• Good stay!

  3/5

  Love being able to stay by the water and do some night fishing. Communication with owners was good they checked in with us quite a bit which was great even recommended a restaurant nearby. The pictures were a little different than what the property looked like the property looked a bit older than what the pictures made it seem . The property could have been cleaned a little better but it wasn’t too bad.. shower for sure was tiny which we weren’t able to tell from the picture but overvall the trip was great! Thank you guys so much.

  "Hi Articia, we're glad to hear you enjoyed the unique experience of staying by the water and indulging in some night fishing! It's wonderful to know that our communication met your expectations and that our restaurant recommendation was a hit. We appreciate your feedback on the property's appearance and cleanliness, as it helps us to improve our guests' experience. We're also taking note of your comments about the shower size. The upstairs one is smaller than the full downstairs bath. We are always looking to improve the home and experience people have. Thank you for choosing to stay with us, and we're so glad your overall trip was a good one. We hope to have you back soon!"

• Amazing Family Retreat

  5/5

  We loved our first stay in Sargent and will definitely be back soon! Home was clean, well maintained and in an amazing location. Our teen boys enjoyed fishing, crabbing and kayaking on the canal and we ended our evening with an amazing fire in the fire pit. Thank you for having us and we cannot wait to visit again!
