5 star stay!

This is truly what vacationing in a home is supposed to be! All the at home touches with a great location for a relaxing weekend of fishing and crabbing! We took a couple of extra days before heading out on a cruise from Galveston and we are so glad we did! Amy is easy to communicate with and the home is one of the cleanest and well stocked we have ever been too! Loved it! We'll definitely visit again!

Best house in Sargent!

Loved my vacation at Amy's house! She thought of everything to make my stay relaxing, fun and enjoyable. So many extra touches that I've never experienced at another vrbo property. Amy is the sweetest and most communicative homeowner and you can tell she takes pride in her lovely home. The dock was a blast fishing off of and the gulf is always an amazing and relaxing sight to see. The new bridge was so fun driving up and down on! I would come back again and only at Amy's wonderful home. Best vacation I've ever had. Thank you so much Amy, you're wonderful!

Paradise on the Beach & ICW!

Heaven on earth! Breathtakingly beautiful views of the Gulf of Mexico from the front of the home and fantastic fishing on the Intracoastal Waterway from the back of the home. Wonderfully equipped with everything your family needs, plus more for the perfect beach and fishing vacation. We enjoyed the super comfy beds and cute coastal decor. Amy is an amazing host and very hospitable. She is so sweet and goes above and beyond to ensure you get the most out of your stay. We had a blast catching Redfish, Croaker and Gafftop right off the pier! Our favorite thing we caught were the blue crabs! There were sooo many and they were sooo tasty!! The harvestable vegetable garden was such a nice treat. The surrounding area was super nice, with well maintained beach homes. We look forward to returning soon! It couldn’t have been more perfect.

Great Home on ICW & Beach

We enjoyed our stay in Sargent! Amy goes above all others to make sure you have everything you need and some extras too! The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare our meals. The cargo lift was great to get the luggage and groceries to the top floor. This was by far the cleanest VRBO we have ever rented. Fishing was fun from the back dock. We had a relaxing time and plan to rent again.

Comfortable, well-equipped and lovely - oh, and FISHING!!

This is THE fishing vacation house! Though we were pretty much shut out of the big catches due to the weather, we salvaged that part of the trip with easily bringing in bunches of crab. Thanks to owners' instructional videos of cooking and cleaning, we had an amazing crab cake dinner. Everything you could want for fishing access and meal prep was provided. Kitchen was equipped with every possible need. Kayaked across the intracoastal into the wildlife refuge - with a couple of spills trying to get back out through the culvert. Be alert for the tide timing when coming out. Owner was over-the-top communicative in all aspects of the accommodations. House was lovely as well as very cozy, comfortable and CLEAN! Beds and bedding were super comfortable. Thank you for sharing your home.

Beyond premier host

First off, Amy is far beyond helpful. She went above and beyond to make sure our stay was as enjoyable as possible, providing all sorts of extra fishing tips, and access to things at the house that were a very nice bonus. They had a cart to take to the surf, fishing rod holders, kayaks, and all sorts of things that most owners would not. Three refrigerators is also a huge bonus (until you forget which fridge you put what in lol).

Best VRBO stay yet!

We were so impressed with the property and the hospitality. It was a trip for our kids birthdays and they set up a tablescape with balloons and fishing lures and a bottle of wine for the grown ups. So sweet! They were communicative the whole time and the house literally had everything we needed. The dock was amazing for our boat and the property was so clean! We will definitely be staying here again, and we rate this 10/10! Thanks so much for letting us stay at your beautiful property! 🙂

Very Clean, extra organized, cozy & comfortable with endless activities in the intracoastal and/or the beach. Amy is happy to help in absolutely any way you need, most attentive host I've ever worked with. My only complaint was booking in the one week of freezing temperatures in February (clearly my mistake). We will be back again!

Best Sargent Stay!

We had the best stay with Thin Blue Waters! We appreciate the kindness and thoughtfulness the Rodger’s family put into making the stay comfortable and enjoyable! The easy access to the beach and private fishing dock in addition to all the amenities of this home make this the best vacation getaway! Amy was so sweet to reach out ahead of time and gave us detailed info on the stay and the area. She was also available to answer our questions during the stay! We caught so many fish including blacks drum, catfish, croaker, flounder, ladyfish, trout, and lost count on how many crabs! We can’t wait to go back and make more lasting memories!

Everything you need and more

We actually live about 30 minutes away, so we had the advantage of driving through the area and looking at the locations before booking. My wife and I brought my dad out for a 4 day weekend. He's had some health issues and we wanted him to enjoy for a while. He loves to fish, my wife loves the beach and I just wanted to sit back and relax. So this house was perfect for us. He spent a lot of time fishing on the dock and my wife walked the beach for hours. We even brought a golf cart so my dad could enjoy the beach as well, we made it all the way down to the San Bernard river cut. The house itself is great. There is everything you need and more. Amy is a great host and only a text away if you need anything. We knew what to expect before we got there and it made for a great stay. This was my first booking through VRBO and I think Amy has set the bar pretty high for future stays.

Best Stay by the water ever !

From the very beginning it felt like I was talking to a long time friend when I spoke to Amy on the phone , the check in was smooth and exactly as she describe it , the house is confortable and practical! We didn’t not miss anything! We did t even turn on the tv because there was so much to do outside ! Amy has anything available to spend time and actually enjoy fishing and crabbing, I can’t say enough how much we enjoyed the cleanliness and easy access to all the amenities the hone offers. Thank you for allowing us to experience your home we will be back ! Mona and Randy
