About this property

SUMMER SALE: Island Stay with Unobstructed Views of Beach & ICW!

Wahoo: This quaint home is situated on Sargent Island, 1.3 miles after crossing the island bridge and turning left. Our long fishing "boardwalk", along the ICW at the rear of the house, is equipped with fishing lights, 2 crab traps, and a large fish cleaning table with water. You can also enjoy views of the Gulf of Mexico in front of our home!

Recent storms have flattened the dunes and partially eroded the beach. At low tide, it is possible to get on the beach. However, the revetment wall, a permanent granite structure built to protect the shoreline and the ICW, insures beach strolling year-round. There are active plans to restore the beach by the summer of 2025 (Sargent Breakwater and Beach Nourishment project). NOTICE: WE DO HAVE RATTLESNAKES ON THE ISLAND. STAY OUT OF THE DUNES AND HIGH GRASS. BE ESPECIALLY CAREFUL WITH CHILDREN!

Fill your days relaxing, fishing, bird-watching (the property is near the San Bernard National Wildlife Refuge), or beach-combing along our uncrowded coastline. Occasionally, bottle-nose dolphins are sighted! From our dining table, you can view both barges navigating the canal and shrimp boats working the coastline. NOTICE: WE DO HAVE RATTLESNAKES ON THE ISLAND. STAY OUT OF THE DUNES AND HIGH GRASS. BE ESPECIALLY CAREFUL WITH CHILDREN!

When you've had enough fun in the sun, enjoy some great family "down time" playing cards or viewing a movie from our DVD collection. We also have a large shaded area under the second level where you can read a book in the cool breeze, have a picnic, set up a blender on the Texas bar, and let the kids run and play in our big backyard. End your day watching a beautiful Sargent sunset.

Upstairs are two bedrooms with central heat and air. The master has a king-size Sleep Number bed and a small tv. The second bedroom has a full bed. The full bath has a shower/tub combo and a clothes washer. In the living room are several recliners, a full-size couch, and a tv for your comfort and enjoyment.

Downstairs are a window ac unit and a space heater for winter. There is a full-size bed, full bath with extra-large shower, small tv, a small couch to provide some seating, and a clothes dryer.

We supply kitchen utensils, blender, toaster, and a 12-cup drip coffee pot. Linens and bath towels are also provided, but PLEASE BRING YOUR OWN BEACH TOWELS.

Sargent has several public boat launches which allow boaters easy access to fishing in Matagorda Bay or Caney Creek. One is located on the island, beside the county park, and accessed by crossing the high bridge and turning right.

We would love to have you vacation with us!!

PLEASE NOTE: In order to keep our home as clean as possible, we do not allow smoking inside or pets on the property. NO GLASS CONTAINERS ALLOWED due to issues with small children and cut feet. We ask that you shake the sand out of towels and clothes before washing. While cell service is available, we do not have WIFI or cable TV. However, we do have local TV and DVDs both upstairs and down. Due to septic tank concerns, please DO NOT FLUSH TAMPONS OR WIPES down the toilet.

A signed contract is required. However, at booking, ALL GUESTS AGREE to terms and conditions.

Family Getaway
We had a great time. We tried to fish in the intercoastal water way, I believe it took more lures then we caught fish. Haha but we had a great time. We had fun in the sun before the craziness before school starts.

Great family vacation!
I was looking for a place that would be good for ages 7 to over 50 years old. This place was perfect! The view of the beach was so relaxing and everyone enjoyed fishing and watching the barges go by in the canal. The house was very nice and a lot bigger than I expected. The Texas bar was so fun and the breeze way was a cool spot to hang out. Thank you so much to the owners for sharing your special place! I’d love to go back again sometime. Thanks!

This home was exactly as shown and so much more. So clean and welcoming. Only hard decision was which deck to sit on for my morning coffee. Beach was not crowded at all and we had a blast. Thank you Phil and Mary Grace for allowing us to share your piece of Heaven.

Beach and fishing
This was a nice place to stay for hanging out on a non-crowded beach while also being able to fish the ICW from the rear of the property. No ice maker in the freezer, but can easily get ice a few miles down the road and store in the freezer. The ground floor room with bathroom has a separate entrance. It had a nice view of the water, and watching the barges go by so close was neat to see. The owners were always quick to respond and answered a lot of questions I had.

Place was very nice but the refrigerator stunk really bad. But I guess that should be expected since people catch fish while there:)

We had a really great time visiting Sargent. The house was cute, clean, and accommodated our small family. The location was great. It was fun watching the boats go by on the ICW, and the view out the front was very pretty. We plan on returning next year!

Another great trip to Wahoo in Sargent
This was an awesome trip with the kids and Paw Paw. The kids caught their first fish, a couple of croakers and the rest of us caught flounder, croaker, sand trout, red drum on the back and 5 black tip sharks and a stingray in the surf. The house was great and stocked well. I’m a tall guy and the showers are plenty high with lots of water pressure. We’re already planning our next trip to Sargent.

Perfect vacation spot
We loved staying at Wahoo. Everything you could need is provided. The labels made it easy to find things. The kids loved fishing and crabbing. And we practically had the beach to ourselves. It was such a nice, quiet, relaxing vacation. We are already planning our next trip to Sargent. Thank you for allowing us to stay in your home!

Beach fun for the kids and surf fishing
We brought our kids and their Paw Paw on this trip and everyone had a great time. The beach was great fun for the kids and we did some surf fishing. We caught a small shark. The house is well stocked with all you need. Paw Paw slept down stairs and was very cool and comfortable. We recommend the Crab Trap restaurant too. Great food right on the water. We will be back to Sargent.

About the host

Hosted by Phil Hearnsberger

Host profile image
Our dream was to one day own a beach house. We spent 19 months working weekends refurbishing the property. We're very proud of our little place. We've tried to make it nice for you. We hope you'll come, ENJOY IT, and try to keep it nice for us.

Why they chose this property

Wahoo was named by a previous owner. Since wahoo is a saltwater game fish, we decided it was a great name (although we thought about changing it to YAHOO!!! because that's the way we feel when we're in Sargent). We love to fish and enjoy the laid-back feel of this home and coastal community.

What makes this property unique

Having waterfront fishing on the ICW and an unrestricted view of the Gulf of Mexico were the pluses that sold us on this location.
