Girls trip to the coast was a beautiful time at this home. We visited for three nights and enjoyed the peace and quiet away from the busy world. We spent our time walking the beach, sitting on the deck in the mornings and evenings, playing cards or watching tv in the house and taking naps. This home is a good drive to restaurants and big stores but the quiet isolation is worth it! The Dollar Store is about 10 minutes away and will likely fill and needs that come up. Bring your own food, use the well stocked kitchen and enjoy relaxing! Cheryl was very good to work with, fast communication and patient with any questions I had. Thank you, Cheryl!

Weekend Getaway form working from home.

The pictures really don't show how spacious the house is and how close the house is to the water. Wish we could have stayed longer. Really enjoyed watching the sunrise and fishing right in front of the house. Our dogs liked laying on the porch people watching. We have already booked our next stay and can't wait to be back there.

Beautiful views!

This is a beautiful home with stunning views, a nice large deck, comfortable sofas, a nice tv and good, cold a/c. There were loads of shells everywhere, which was really cool. My husband really enjoyed surf fishing and caught a lot of fish. We had never been to Sargent Beach before and were a bit disappointed at the lack of beach there was near the house. If you wanted to walk the beach, you had to drive a ways until you got past all the granite stones. The mosquitos were horrendous some days, so bring a lot of bug repellent. Our hosts were quick to communicate with us and give us updates on the weather as a tropical storm was heading in, Thankfully it decided to go away from Sargent at the last minute and we did not have to leave. There were a couple of things about the house that could use improvement. The sliding door that you have to enter in is very difficult to open. A weak, or elderly person may not have been able to open it at all. There was a definite mildew or something odor, which we figured might be dampness from the hurricane that hit earlier this year. The microwave did not work properly, but after a lot of button pushing my husband figured a way to get it to work. The request by the owners that we wash, dry and put away all towels used was way over the top, in our opinion. We have never been asked to do that before and had to go buy laundry detergent for that, because there wasn't any there.

Great place!

Loved the house and the location! Felt a bit misled by pics of the beach; lots of rocks with a bit of sand (still had a blast!!). Also other people staying should know there's an expectation that renters replace items such as soap if they run out, and that washing and drying towels is expected but laundry detergent is not provided. Overall enjoyed the stay and location!.

Good Place to Relax

My wife and I spent a week, along with our dogs, enjoying the ocean views and the sound of the waves crashing on the shore. We hadn't been to the Texas gulf coast before and this was a good place for that first experience. Being only a few hundred feet from the shoreline, we enjoyed sitting on the porch with its ocean views in the mornings and evenings and exploring during the day.

Quiet beachside getaway

Our stay was nice. The property overlooks the ocean with a nice lawn that rolls into the coastline and sea wall. Some things to improve were petty and not worth bringing up here as overall the stay was enjoyable and we felt it was a fair value. Communications with the property manager/owner was outstanding. Directions can be a little confusing given the odd house numbering scheme on account of overlapping county road and Canal Drive (check in instructions state exactly how far to drive from the bridge). Huge nice TV although we couldn't get it to take other HDMI inputs and there is no internet service (cell coverage is good but hotspot to broadcast TV is pushing the limit). Overall a very fairly priced weekend retreat and host was extremely accommodating and nice.

Pretty good…could be better

First, this house had the BEST views! Sunrise, sunset…stunning! It was sunny and cheerful. Great for birdwatching too. Bring your own binoculars! However, it didn’t seem to have been cleaned very well and the basics in the kitchen could use improvement. Suggestions: a cutting board or two, sharp knives, corkscrew, provide plenty of dishwasher detergent and laundry detergent, more dish towels, entry mats inside the doors to catch sand, a working toaster… While the beds were very comfortable, the couch was not at all and there was no other comfortable seating. You sat too low and could feel the crossbars. One other detail; THERE WAS NO INTERNET! Some may not like that but we loved being unplugged and brought books and enjoyed walks and shell collecting.The owner might consider providing literature or a notebook of recommended places to see and nearby restaurants. I hope these guidelines are helpful.

The deck is perfect for watching sunrises and we never tired of the beautiful views through the wall-to-wall windows. The kitchen has everything you’ll need to make a home cooked meal. Thank you for allowing us to stay in your home!

Great location and comfortable lodging

Perfect location if you are looking for a relaxing beach vacation. House was clean and the beds were comfortable. The deck is in the late afternoon shade (in July) and the sea breeze makes sitting outside well into the evening enjoyable. The beach is a hidden gem. Hosts were quick to respond via text to any questions. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will be back!

Our beachfront go to

We love the convenience and accessibility of this home. It is directly on the beach, and it’s mostly private, great for unplugging. Each time we visit the property it’s updated, new deck, new ceiling fans, washer dryer, furniture. It’s a beachfront cottage, it’s cozy and private. I love this area because it’s country and beachy. The locals are friendly, a few area restaurants are always good, accommodating, and great for kids. Everything you need is at The Dollar General store a few miles away. If you are looking to unplug, take your dog to the beach, fish with the kids, just relax and slow down… this is a great pace. This house is great for families because you can easily watch the kids from the deck when they wake up wanting to build sandcastles at 7am. Bayside beachfront grill has pretty good food, my boys (10, 12, 14) enjoy the pool table, music, and sitting out on the deck…. It’s about 10 min away. We also enjoy driving our off-road Polaris up and down the beach. Tip: if you go out past waist deep in the ocean you may feel some clay beneath your feet… bring water shoes if that bothers you. It’s not harmful, just a lil slippery. Our boys usually just boogie board. Have fun!

We enjoyed our stay. Beautiful view of the gulf and a big deck to enjoy it from. Had fun shell hunting and walking along the shore.
