Private Vacation Home
Spring SALE! Imagine... Relaxing Island Stay with Fishing, Beach, ICW, & More!
Sargent, Texas, United States
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!brbrRecent 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 2023 (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!brbrFill 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.
