AMAZING WATERFRONT RETREAT W/ STUNNING GULF VIEWS AND FANTASTIC FISHING!
EXPERIENCE THE ULTIMATE COASTAL GETAWAY AT THE BLUE FISH BOWL
Escape the ordinary in our newly built coastal haven situated along the picturesque Gulf Intracoastal Waterway (ICW). Immerse yourself in the unparalleled beauty of this waterfront retreat. As you unwind, gaze at the awe-inspiring Gulf views, watch passing barges, and marvel at fishing boats as they embark on their daily quests. Let the day begin with a steaming cup of coffee on our spacious deck, offering a front-row seat to the mesmerizing sunrise over the Gulf of Mexico. In the evening, savor a glass of wine or your favorite IPA as you witness the horizon paint itself with rich, vibrant hues during the sunset.
A BEACH LOVERS PARADISE Kick off your shoes and feel the soft sand beneath your toes as you embark on a leisurely 3-mile drive to the beach. Upon crossing the ICW bridge, choose your perfect spot to run with the waves, and consider the tranquility down Canal Dr for a bit more privacy. Adventurous souls can continue their journey along the beach in a 4x4 vehicle, discovering the renowned Mitchell’s Cut to the right, where the Gulf waters flow into the ICW, offering fantastic year-round fishing opportunities. (Note: A 4x4 vehicle is recommended for venturing to the cut, and always be mindful of the tides to ensure a safe experience.)
ANGLER'S PARADISE Reel in the best fishing Texas has to offer from our property's pier under the enchanting glow of pier lights. Catch various inshore fish species, including speckled trout, redfish, flounder, black drum, and sand trout. The ICW is teeming with blue crabs; use our provided traps for a mouthwatering crab boil. Clean your catch with ease at our newly constructed fish cleaning station, complete with a sink, cutting board, and a shaded roof to keep you comfortable during the summer heat.

The house was very clean. The kitchen was well stocked.. excellent location. The owners of the home were easy to work with.. I would highly recommend this property to anyone wanting to visit the area. next time I go back, I will definitely try to stay at this home.
Great communication with the host. The home is well maintained, well stocked, and so comfortable. Like a wonderful home away from home. We will definitely be staying there again!!!!!
What a great place to stay and unwind. Everything you needed was there to make our stay perfect. House was very clean, the views just calm your soul. Kids had a great time fishing and watching the barges go by!
We absolutely loved our stay!! Beautiful house and perfect accommodations for our family. My son loved to sit on our balcony and watch the barges and boats go by while my other 2 sons and my nephew fished off the pier. Couldn't have asked for a better family get away. Can't wait to come back!
The place was really clean and had everything you could need, besides fresh groceries! Jennifer, the host, promptly responded to any questions I had. If I had to complain, it would be the advertisement of many crab traps, yet there was only one. I also had to clean out the BBQ pit which looked like it had not been cleaned in a while. I filled up 3/4 of a 5 gallon bucket with ash and charcoal. All in all, I would definitely stay here again and I would recommend it to anyone who loves watching the barges come and go and the gorgeous sunrises and sunsets! Note to self: fishing isn’t that good in February…but hey, it was a great time!!
We had a great stay with friends and enjoyed the fishing. House was beautifully decorated and immaculate.
View was amazing
Hosts have furnished kitchen very well
We enjoyed our stay. The house was amazing and clean. So many games for the kiddos to play. We enjoyed catching lots of crabs in the crab traps and fishing off the dock. Great location and friendly neighbors. Would definitely stay here again.
This house is amazing—so clean and well stocked. Extremely comfortable beds, big shopper and plenty of towels! This is our 2nd stay, but not the last. Great fishing on the pier!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here! The check in process was SUPER easy. The place was extremely clean and comfortable. We contacted the host about the type of coffee pot… she had great response time! We highly recommend this property and host!
House is very nice, clean, lots of room! All the little touches of decor, complete kitchen accessories, etc are such a plus! Nice lighted pier! Already booked our next stay!
Fantastic place for family time. Exceptional house. Very clean, comfortable beds, well equipped kitchen and beautiful sunrises and sunsets! Nice dock for fishing or crabbing.
Everything about the house was awesome, kids had a blast catching a huge variety of fish off the dock, back porch was awesome, fishing dock was awesome, house was awesome, and the view was awesome. Literally the best place I’ve stayed at down there and I used to own property there. We definitely found a new go to for Sargent trips
We really enjoyed staying at The Blue Fish Bowl! The house and property we great! The kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed. It’s a great location on the ICW looking out into the Gulf. The hosts were so responsive and nice and the check-in/out process was easy. We hope to return to this house in the future!
The house was amazing and had everything you could imagine. We caught all kinds of fish, sting ray and even a hammerhead shark. Thanks for sharing your home with us!
We absolutely love this house! It is supplied with everything you need and so much more! The owners are quick to respond to questions and had suggestions about local activities. The lighted pier with rod houlders and built-in benches are great for fishing or watching the barges go up and down the Intercoastal Waterway. We will definitely rent this house again!
We had such a great time at this property. The location was perfect! And I can’t say enough about how perfect the beach decor is!!! Home was very clean and kitchen was well stocked. Fish weren’t biting, so guess we will just need to go back again soon! Great stay! And glad we could bring our fur babies! Thank you so much!

This was our 2nd time to stay at the Blue Fish Bowl. Just like the 1st time in 2020, this stay was perfect! The indoor & outdoor spaces are beautiful & well-furnished. The kitchen & bathrooms were well-stocked. The fishing pier & cleaning station were great, with built-in benches & lights. We had a hard time getting bait because of recent rains, storm issues, & a fishing tournament, but we did manage to catch some small croakers, sand trout, gafftop, sheephead, & hardheads. Be prepared for mosquitoes — they’re just a fact of life along the coast.
We had such a amazing time here at this property! It really has everything you can think of and need! From the time you walk in you feel like you are at home. The kitchen has every gadget you could ever need. If you plan on catching crabs, they supply you with everything you need including crabing traps, boiling pots, crab utensils, and platters. Fishing is so much fun right out the back door off the dock. The view is very nice from the balcony especially in the mornings while enjoying a cup of coffee. The house is stocked full of games that our kids enjoyed! Bait shops are just down the street which made it very convenient for fishing. This is really the perfect place to stay if relaxing and fishing is on your agenda! The beach is not too far away either and we even enjoyed a day there! Loved our stay here and will be returning later on in the summer!
