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.

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.
