Had a terrific time. Couldn't have asked for better hosts, excellent communication, friendly, helpful, and went out of their way to ensure a great time. The whole experience was delightful.

We had a great stay at the Fishing House. House was very clean and well stocked. The fishing started slow but ended up doing pretty good. I would definitely stay again.
Wonderful property, good fishing from the dock. Lots of wind during our stay, but that's not the house's fault. One improvement I would like to see is an extension of the walkway to the pier so you don't have to wade through the water at high tide.
Place was very clean! Fishing peer is great and fishing was incredible! Caught 58 fish including black drum, sand sea trout, sheepshead, flounder and 1 chair that blew into the water. 3 crab from the crab trap. All in three nights! Great place and would definitely recommend!
Everything was spot on. The host was great and fishing pretty decent considering the weather and time of year. Update needed to listing, there is no hotub as listed. The hot tub doesn't matter to us, but may to some. 5 star's and will book again in the spring.
Our host, Kate, took great care of us. She was always available to answer any questions in a timely manner. The property was very nice, great location, good pier and a nice view. The fishing was hit and miss depending on the tide. We did manage to catch several big crab and some sand trout. The big fish of the trip was a 36" black drum. It took several minutes to land the monster fish, but we finally got him in. He posed for a few pictures before we released him back into the creek. It was a relaxing and memorable vacation. We look forward to staying again.
We had a great week at the Fishing house. Kate and Donna are always awesome to deal with (thank you both). The fishing in the bay can be a challenge in the warmer months, but we still had some luck out on the boat. And the fishing off of the pier was great as usual. Tip for pier fishermen: The activity seems to pick up significantly as the tide starts to come back in. And the later the better, so get that afternoon nap in.
We'll be back again next year for sure. Thanks again.
Wonât be returning. Cute little fishing house. No beach worth going to. Very high winds actually took the river away and left nothing but mud. So couldnât fish or bbq. Spent one night and left. Warning high winds no refunds is in contact!
Weâve rented the fishing house several times throughout the past years and it never disappoints. The location is one of the best places on Caney Creek. We love this house and we will continue to rent with Caney Y on VRBO.
I'm the property Manager, having lived in Sargent 30 years and loving every minute. Fishin' House is the first house I ever managed for an owner, and its been a favorite of guests from the very beginning. The Jacobs family who own it, appreciate the quiet getaway feel of Sargent and benefit from the awesome night fishing on their pier. Mike Jacobs is a committed Matagorda County resident having served on the Jackson Electric Board of Directors for many years.
Fishin' house is loved by families who want to fish but may not have a boat since pier fishing is lucrative. Also any who seek easy access to East Matagorda Bay by boat will be delighted at this location. Living area in house and large deck outside is perfect for visiting and relaxing.
