THE PROPERTY
Well maintained waterfront home on Caney Creek in beautiful, friendly Sargent, TX. This exceptional home has an open concept living room, dining room, and kitchen area with high ceilings.

Downstairs you'll find the bunk room, a full bathroom, and a laundry room with washer and dryer with all 3 rooms with air conditioning/heat.
Watch the beautiful sunset across the creek from the upstairs deck or follow the concrete walkway from the patio (complete with stereo and LED lights for ambiance) downstairs to the large pier and fishing dock with 2 1000w fishing lights for terrific night fishing! Bring your boat (max 6000lb) to store in the boat house lift to keep it out of the water when not in use (please let us know after booking if you plan to bring a boat so we can trailer the boat currently using the lift).
There is covered parking for three vehicles under the two carports on property and additional driveway parking for many more vehicles. If you need room for your guests with RVs, the concrete driveway is long enough for RV parking and there are both 50A and 30A RV electric outlets, sewer (1), and water (2) connections for those additional guests who drive or tow their own home (additional fee of $50/night for up to 2 RVs).
ENTERTAINMENT
TVs are provided in the living room and both upstairs bedrooms with Dish Network service.
WiFi is provided throughout the home and yard.
A DVD player is available in the upstairs living room and there is a stereo with speakers on the downstairs patio to relax and listen to some tunes while watching the beautiful sunset with a cold beverage.
Assorted board games and card games are provided, as well as several puzzles to keep you occupied if the weather doesn't cooperate for a while or you just feel like relaxing indoors.
SARGENT AREA
Sargent Beach is a short 3-mile drive, just across the bridge over the Intercoastal Waterway. Take a stroll on the beach, collect shells, or swim (at your own risk - no lifeguards) in the surf. Sargent is the best-kept secret on the Texas coast!
If you have a boat, there are a few public ramps at Wahoo’s Marina & Charlie's Bait Camp all within 1.5 miles. By boat, Wahoo’s Marina is 1 mile away and offers ethanol-free fuel on the water (Or fuel up at Texaco before launching your boat to save a few bucks). Another mile or so down the creek is the Caney "Y", the Intracoastal Waterway, and Mitchell's Cut with access to the Gulf and excellent fishing, especially on incoming/outgoing tides.
Local restaurants include The Crab Trap (our favorite) on the corner of FM 457 & FM 2611 (new location), Hookers Waterfront Grill (we love the fish tacos) next to the bridge (with boat slips), On the Corner Restaurant (ask for the Sargent Special for breakfast) on FM 457 just south of the Texaco, and two food trucks —Smokey Dan's BBQ and Flip Flop Paradise (try the Jasonnator if you’re really hungry!) — on FM 457. You can also get Hunt Brothers pizza to go at the Sargent Country Store at the S-curve coming into town.
Grocery shopping & beer/wine is available at Dollar General on FM 457 and convenience store items and beer/wine can be found at the Sargent Country Store and Texaco. The best liquor store in town is Coastal Liquor at the corner of FM 457 and FM 2611 just north of Sargent (you'll pass it coming into town). Don't miss the Sargent shopping area just south of FM 2611 on FM 457 that is only open on Saturdays to pick up some unique Sargent memorabilia, cigars, craft beers, and high end chocolate.
For history buffs, there are several historical markers in the area with Civil War era information. The area between the Brazos River and Colorado River, which includes Caney Creek, was part of Stephen F. Austin's original land grant from Mexico where Texas began. History surrounds you here, and there are several museums within a 1-hour drive, or venture slightly further and visit the historic ghost town of Indianola, one of the largest ports in the south until the town was abandoned and engulfed by the sea following two devastating hurricanes and a couple disease outbreaks. There is no lack of interesting information in the area for those who enjoy history!
Most of all, relax and enjoy your stay!

The house was amazing. The house looks a lot better than the pictures do it was quiet and the owner responded every time I had a question definitely will be going back.
One of my favorite if not favorite place in Sargent...everything went as expected and we were not disappointed other than the bay fishing could have been better but that's the way it goes.
Overall had a great time and can't wait to go back next year
Great place to unwind and be with friends or family. We go with a group of men that are retired and worked together most of our lives. We have a blast just reminiscing old times and telling fishing lies.
perfect setup for our family. Beautiful house and property
We had a fantastic time. perfect place for families to get together. Beautiful sunsets. and great fishing set up. We brought our boat and it made it so easy to get around and pull up for the night

Thank you for the review, and we're glad you had a terrific time at the Nauti Dreams house! The fishing off the dock is terrific, especially at night under the lights. We're happy to hear that you got some great fishing time with your family and friends and we look forward to seeing you back again in Sargent very soon! --Jeff and Katie
We had a great stay! The house is very comfortable. The boat lift is a big plus! If I could give more than five stars for host communication I would. Very helpful and very responsive. Would definitely stay there again.

This has been our third stay. The house and grounds are clean. Kids enjoy fishing off the peer and crabbing. Good communication with the host. Being able to travel with our dog is a bonus! Dollar General is close by and carries produce and has a big refrigerated section.
We (2 adults, 2 kids, 2 dogs) stayed for an extra long weekend and everything we wanted was onsite and available. Covered parking, expansive deck & dock, grill, beach toys, towels, crab traps, great wifi, etc. The entire place was clean and had clear instructions on how best to check out. The owners were available and responsive. Everything was great for a much needed getaway to fish, beach, eat, and drink!

Thanks for the great review! So glad you had a great time and hope to have you back soon!
We held a mini family reunion at this house down in Sargent, and had hoped to catch some fish and crab. The 29 crab we caught made for a wonderful feast, and we caught a few keeper fish that were tasty, and a lot of little fish that we released, but kept the kids occupied for the whole weekend. Its a peaceful, nice little place that did what we needed: it allowed us to stay focused on our time together as a family.
The house was perfect and exactly what we needed for our stay. The location on the creek is just awesome. We even got a fishing trip in and caught some really nice reds and trout. We will definitely be back. And will book this house again. Our host was so accommodating to our needs.
Roseann Mikes
Great location,had a great time,could not catch any keeper trout but raked in the crabs. Only problem was that one of the fishing lights was not working.
Overall, the house was very comfortable. The A/C was exceptional! However, the bottom floor which had the half bath was not as expected and neither was the bunk room. I would be sure on our next rental that all areas have central air. We did enjoy our stay and had a great time using the pier for fishing & crabbing and the backyard which overlooked the water was very nice.

Hi, I'm glad to hear you and your guests had a terrific stay! I'm sorry the downstairs didn't meet your expectations, but I'd like to clarify that the downstairs bath is a full bath with shower and the bunk room has a brand new air conditioner and heater, it's just not connected to the central air (also brand new) in the rest of the house. I'd definitely be interested in additional feedback as to why you found the downstairs not to your liking if you don't mind taking a few minutes to send me a note to help improve for future guests. Thanks and I hope to see you back soon!
Very clean and as it stated on website. Didn’t catch anything off the pier but just how it goes sometimes. Prompt response from owners and very easy to work with. We will be back.

Thank you for your review! Looking forward to your return!
The property was as described and provided many amenities. Working with Barbara was very easy and the whole process was smooth. We had a large group and the driveway provided plenty of parking. There was enough space for us to relax, fish, and cook. The extra fridge downstairs allowed us to store enough food for our larger group. The bugs outside were crazy but that is to be expected. The neighbors were very friendly, as well. Great stay.
We stayed over Thanksgiving with three adults and two older children. The children enjoyed playing outdoors in the backyard, crabbing, and fishing off the pier. The kitchen and living room are spacious to enjoy time together with the family. The kitchen is well-equipped. The short drive to the beach allowed for additional fishing opportunities and quiet walks. Being able to bring our dog is a bonus.
This is our second time staying at this property.
Crabbing and fishing of the pier have been successful both times and are our boy's favorite activity.
We had a good time, but probably wouldn't book it again due to some electrical issues, 2 fishing lights instead of the 4 advertised. Also the downstairs bunk / bedroom was unusable due to serious moisture issues and the odor of some type of fuel. The fishing was ok we caught some decent fish. If the above issues are fixed we would possibly book again.

About the host
Hosted by Barbara Shields
I grew up in the Galveston Mainland area, though I've also lived in Houston, Teheran Iran, London, Waller, Cypress, and currently in Manvel. I have always loved the coast and wanted to have a second home to enjoy fishing and boating with my children and grandchildren.
Why they chose this property
Sargent is a wonderful, unique small town that offers excellent fishing, duck hunting, beachcombing, and bird watching opportunities. Part of the original Stephen F. Austin land grant, the Caney Creek area has a storied history. Sitting on the upstairs deck and looking out at Caney Creek between the rows of tropical palm trees, you can almost see and hear paddlewheelers traveling up and down the creek transporting prized Caney Creek cotton from the plantations up the creek to the Gulf for shipment to Europe and other areas around the world. I love the history of the area that can still be seen by simply looking across the creek at Cornelius Ranch or reading one of several historical markers around town describing the Civil War forts on Caney Creek where the Confederate Army stopped the Union Navy from advancing further up the Texas coast or the 1838 master planned community of Manhattan located near the "Caney Y" that never came to be. Tack onto that the laid back, social, fishing-oriented people we are proud to call neighbors and you have all the makings for a terrific, peaceful vacation destination!
What makes this property unique
Sargent is a small coastal town without even a stoplight. The people are friendly, the fishing is top-notch directly from the fishing dock or by boat, and the sunsets from the upstairs deck and the dock are stunning! The lot is very unique in that it has palms that line both sides of the property to give you a sense of privacy and to enhance the coastal feel of the home. We know you'll love this home as much as we do!
