AMAZING WATERFRONT RETREAT W/ STUNNING GULF VIEWS AND FANTASTIC FISHING!
EXPERIENCE THE ULTIMATE COASTAL GETAWAY AT THE BLUE FISH BOWL
Escape the ordinary in our newly built coastal haven situated along the picturesque Gulf Intracoastal Waterway (ICW). Immerse yourself in the unparalleled beauty of this waterfront retreat. As you unwind, gaze at the awe-inspiring Gulf views, watch passing barges, and marvel at fishing boats as they embark on their daily quests. Let the day begin with a steaming cup of coffee on our spacious deck, offering a front-row seat to the mesmerizing sunrise over the Gulf of Mexico. In the evening, savor a glass of wine or your favorite IPA as you witness the horizon paint itself with rich, vibrant hues during the sunset.
A BEACH LOVERS PARADISE Kick off your shoes and feel the soft sand beneath your toes as you embark on a leisurely 3-mile drive to the beach. Upon crossing the ICW bridge, choose your perfect spot to run with the waves, and consider the tranquility down Canal Dr for a bit more privacy. Adventurous souls can continue their journey along the beach in a 4x4 vehicle, discovering the renowned Mitchell’s Cut to the right, where the Gulf waters flow into the ICW, offering fantastic year-round fishing opportunities. (Note: A 4x4 vehicle is recommended for venturing to the cut, and always be mindful of the tides to ensure a safe experience.)
ANGLER'S PARADISE Reel in the best fishing Texas has to offer from our property's pier under the enchanting glow of pier lights. Catch various inshore fish species, including speckled trout, redfish, flounder, black drum, and sand trout. The ICW is teeming with blue crabs; use our provided traps for a mouthwatering crab boil. Clean your catch with ease at our newly constructed fish cleaning station, complete with a sink, cutting board, and a shaded roof to keep you comfortable during the summer heat.

Two of the bedrooms feature sumptuous Serta iComfort Blue Fusion Pillowtop Hybrid mattresses topped with Cooling Mattress Toppers, guaranteeing restful nights. Crisp white 1800-thread-count hotel collection linen sheets, microfleece blankets, and an abundance of pillows make these bedrooms perfect for post-fishing or beachcombing naps. The master bedroom boasts a king-size bed, a dresser, two side tables with lamps, and USB outlets for your electronic devices. The master bathroom offers an oversized mirror, spacious countertop, and a subway-tiled walk-in shower with a bold blue sea glass accent.

Our favorite kind of guests! 🥰 Thank you so much for coming back to visit us, Khristian. It’s always a treat to host you, and we’re thrilled the stay was just as wonderful as the last. Until next time!
This is an Exhalent property. The host is very responsive if you need them. If you're a fisherman this property is positioned to give you quick access to inshore or offshore applications. I have every intention of utilizing this property when I fish the Sargent area in the future. No question about it.
My family and I really enjoyed our stay here. House was clean and they had plenty of board games to use. Weather wasn't too hot and we were able to eat out on the back patio without being carried away by mosquitoes. Fishing dock was great and lights were easy to turn on. Kids loved seeing the passing boats and even got a couple to honk for them!! Would bring my family back here anytime.
My wife loved how clean and the bed comforters, now I have to buy some for my home. Lol Peir was nice and lights appeared to bring in the bait. Loved having crab traps provided and we caught a couple of crabs. The tug traffic was cool and the Captains would blow there horns for the kids which made them happy. Guessing due to a lot of rain we did not land ant trout however we did land a couple of nice reds and mom caught a huge gaftop for a fish soup. We absolutely loved everything about the place and have zero complaints. The decor was nicely done and we felt at home immediately.Thanks you and we had a wonderful time.
The house and property were beautiful. We enjoyed it very much. Communication with Jennifer was very easy and she responded promptly.

Thank you so much, Kevin! Keeping things easy and smooth for our guests is always the goal. So glad you enjoyed the property, and we'd love to host you again whenever you need another getaway!
We rented this house for my son and his friends to stay the weekend after prom, and I stayed with them. Jennifer responded immediately to every question I had, and the house was absolutely perfect. The boys loved fishing, and the large dock was more than big enough. When they would take breaks inside, the inside accommodations were comfortable and provided plenty of entertainment. We could not have asked for a better place to stay or better hosts.
The house was very clean. The kitchen was well stocked.. excellent location. The owners of the home were easy to work with.. I would highly recommend this property to anyone wanting to visit the area. next time I go back, I will definitely try to stay at this home.

Those are the perfect eating size black drum! Thank you for sharing your photos.
We had a wonderful stay at this beach house! The home was exactly as described—clean, comfortable, and perfect for a relaxing getaway.The only issue we encountered was that there was dog poop on the driveway when we arrived, and unfortunately we didn’t notice right away and ended up tracking it into the house. After settling in, we did notice dogs at neighboring properties, so it may have come from there. It might be helpful to give future renters a quick heads-up to watch for that upon arrival.That said, as a fellow pet lover, I completely understand these things can happen. Overall, this was a perfect stay, and we would absolutely come back!
We absolutely loved our stay!! Beautiful house and perfect accommodations for our family. My son loved to sit on our balcony and watch the barges and boats go by while my other 2 sons and my nephew fished off the pier. Couldn't have asked for a better family get away. Can't wait to come back!

About the host
Hosted by Jennifer Bryson
My husband and I are empty nesters that needed a retreat to escape our stressful jobs in Houston. After renting several places in Sargent, we fell in love with the area. We decided to build our own paradise in 2019 on the ICW. Both of us love to relax and just take it easy.
Why they chose this property
The ICW was the perfect choice! There's almost always a Gulf breeze to keep you cool in the summer. My husband loves to fish and East Matagorda Bay is one of only two bays that consistently yields trophy speckled trout. When fishing in the ICW, you never know what to expect because so many fish travel the tidal movement and the deep water of the shipping lane. I love the serenity of the Gulf waves crashing and the sounds of the nautical birds and the ships going by. This is where we have found peace and relaxation to recharge our batteries.
What makes this property unique
There's nothing like watching the sunrise down the ICW and out of the gulf as the sun moves farther south during the cooler months. The hues from the sunset are bold and majestic and just take your breath away. Sargent is a quaint little town with very little traffic and everyone is just so nice and care free.
