Property looked just like the pictures and it was absolutely amazing. Caught a bunch of fish on the intracoastal waterway and were only a short 10 minute drive from the beach. Plenty of room for our big group.

Grand kids weekend

The house was great plenty of space and outside deck and fishing dock were really nice. The only down side was the boat traffic bad boating etiquette. Would definitely go back.

Great stay

This was our 2nd time to stay and our favorite rental in Sargent. Right on the ICW! Love all the decks and how close they are to the water. Provides the perfect shade when fishing at the house. House was clean and inviting. Neighbors were friendly! We will be back.. again!

Family vacation

We had a great time staying at the brown water bungalow! Comfortable sleeping arrangements, downstairs by the canal was where we spent most of our time and it accommodated a lot of us fishing from the pier. Caught back to back flounder our last night and caught two big stone crabs! We will be back!

Family Vacation Home

We loved loved LOVED this home! The location was great for fishing and the view was amazing from the top deck. The kitchen was perfect for us since we cooked every meal during our stay. There’s was a big nice smoked grill and crab traps for us to use. We will definitely be coming back. And whoever did the decorating did an awesome job, it felt very homey.

The home was beautiful, clean and very big. Right on the ICW with awesome views. A lot of shade and relaxing spaces both on ground floor and upstairs on the balconies!!! Loved it. Nothing negative to say, therefore look no more and just book it. You won’t regret it.

Great family fun in a nice tidy house

We had a great time at The Brown Water Bungalow. The communication was super easy and quick and the place looks exactly like it does in the pictures. The house was very tidy and equipped with everything you need. The house is perfect for families with kids with 2 rooms with bunk beds. Everyone from the kids to the adults enjoyed fishing right from the back of the house in the ICW. The back patio has a great view and the area is very quiet and peaceful. I would recommend this house to anyone wanting a fun kid friendly fishing getaway!

Fun Weekend Away!

We had such a wonderful stay at Brown Water Bungalow! The house was super clean, spacious and had everything a group would need to cook and entertain. The porches are HUGE and perfect to watch the sunset, or sit out for a morning coffee. This is such a great spot for fishing and watching the boats too! There is a boat slip super close, with easy access. There was so much fun to be had in the area- from dinner at The Crab Trap, drinks at the Flamingo Texas cocktail shack, and popping in a few shops along the way for the ladies. I would highly recommend this beautiful home for groups, families, or fishermen! It’d be perfect for anyone!
