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.

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!

Love this house

This is a great house in a great community. You can’t beat fishing off the back porch, surf fishing in the Gulf of Mexico across the road or running your boat the short ride to East Matagorda Bay. The house has everything you need and is clean and up to date. We love it here.

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.

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.
