About this property
Spacious Waterfront Home on Caney Creek
Come enjoy this charming 5 bedroom 2 bathroom home on Caney Creek for a relaxing getaway in Sargent, Texas. This is a newly updated vintage home built in the 1950s. It sits on 0.7 acres of waterfront property with a spacious backyard, a large fishing dock with pier lights for night fishing, a boat dock where you can tie up your boat, a fish cleaning table, fire ring, grills, and a swing set and sand pit for the kids.
The property's address is 2426 CR 297. Caney Creek allows for easy access to the ICW, Mitchell’s Cut, the Gulf of Mexico, and East Matagorda Bay. The beach is just a 10-minute drive from the property. Public boat ramps are located on Caney Creek (1272 CR 201) and the ICW at Joey's Bait Shop (27314 FM-457).
The covered patio and oak trees provide plenty of shade and a breezy space to gather and relax outside. You can sit back and enjoy the view of the creek or set up games for the family in the vast back yard. The property also includes a charcoal barbeque pit and propane grill big enough to accommodate cooking for families.
This ground level home makes it easy for packing the luggage and coolers in and out without the hassle of stairs. The covered carport allows you to pull right up to the door for loading and unloading and provides shaded parking. Vehicle and boat trailer parking is plentiful.
The 5 bedrooms provide sleeping space for 8 adults plus up to 6 kids. Three downstairs bedrooms have 1 queen bed each and a set of twin bunk beds in the other. The upstairs dormitory has 6 twin beds and makes a perfect place for the kids to have their own space. A pack’n’play and high chair are available for your infant, too.
The open dining room seats up to 14 people. The kitchen is equipped with an oven, stove, microwave, toaster, can opener, blender, hand mixer, cookware, dishes, and coffee pot. On-site washer and dryer are also available. Central air keeps you cool all summer.
A playground with a walking path and workout circuit is located directly across the street, along with a basketball court. Shopping and groceries are conveniently located just around the corner.
With so much to do and so much charm, we love this spacious creek-front home and know you will, too!

About the host
Hosted by Carrie Schoeffler
We are a family of 8: two parents and 6 young children! Our family loves spending time in Sargent and being outdoors. Sea Monkey Lodge is our happy place away from the hustle and bustle of our normal lives. We feel very blessed to be able to share our home with you and hopefully help you make some memories that will last forever.
Why they chose this property
After an exhaustive search, we almost gave up on owning a vacation home in Sargent. Most of the properties we found were poorly converted fishing shanties or in need of major repairs. When we found this house, we almost did not go see it because the pictures were unremarkable. But when we arrived, we knew we had found our home!
We wanted to be on Caney Creek because we believe that natural waterways hold more fish and beauty. We loved the idea of being on the ground and not having to climb endless stairs every day. And most of all, we were very excited about the amount of space on the lot!
We have added central A/C, high-speed internet, the upstairs dormitory, and a fresh coat of paint. Now, the house we christened Sea Monkey Lodge has rapidly become our favorite place to get away.
