What a relaxing stay!

This home was so cozy, clean, and adorable for two people. We enjoyed some much-needed quiet time. The fishing deck at night is an awesome place to hang out.

peaceful getaway

We enjoyed having our coffee on the front balcony facing the beach and sitting in the back facing the intercoastal canal. Liked that the beach was so easy to get to from the house. Had a great time fishing off the dock. We caught several fish. The house was clean and comfortable. All around great place to stay for a peaceful getaway.

Absolutely AWESOME!!

We will definitely come back to this place. The home was perfect, cute, comfortable, clean and had everything we needed. The covered dock was great to hangout on and fish from, with green light, seating, and cleaning station. The beach was right across the road. Hosts were great and even gave us fishing tips!! So much fun!!

Great little spot!

We really enjoyed it. Fishing was as expected for this time of year, but we still had fun. Crab traps were a hit with the kids. Having the ICW in the back yard and the beach across the street was perfect.

Great stay

Loved the house. The ocean across the street. We love to fish so the intercoastal access was a plus. The walkway to it was easy and the dock was great with lights, a cleaning station, and ample room to get around. It was perfect for us

Yearly family trip

We had a fantastic time. We spent the day at the beach and evenings on the dock fishing. We caught enough crabs for a small boil. Everyone also caught at least one fish. Trip was successful! Can’t wait till next year.

Cute house with good amenities

Clean , plenty of room , perfect for viewing barges on the water . Fishing was a bust and Weather didn’t cooperate well but that’s Mother Nature . Overall we had a good stay and the house is perfect .

This is a great stay for a couple with up to a couple of kids

This is a great property for those to want to explore, especially if you can make use of the surf across the road. The best attribute is the green light which always seem to draw better fishing than the typical white lights on private piers. Usually, green light supported piers come at a higher cost, so for that reason alone, this is a bargain. We unfortunately were there just 2 nights and were at the mercy of changing weather conditions, and did not attempt the choppy waters of the surf. We are not chasers of the "big" fish but just want to focus on some seafood to bring home. On that, we whiffed, but mostly due to weather, and there was a weird trend that crabbing was not fruitful (we think it was weather related as well). However, the option to use the pier in quiet weather at night and walking across the street to the ocean is a great concept, especially at a highly competitive price. The property is cleaned well and is great for an introductory visit to Sargent. My rating on the experience is closer to 4.5 stars (weather corrupted), but if you can catch a great weather pattern, it could be a steal as compared to similar lighted pier stays that typically cost about 100 dollars more per night. The outdoor shower for beach go'ers is also a nice touch.
