Thank you for trusting us with your family vacation and for taking the time to leave a review. Your feedback is very much appreciated! We are very happy to hear you enjoyed it so much and that you had a perfect spring break!
We had an amazing little getaway for the family. I enjoyed my coffee out on the pier with the crisp morning air and listened to the seagulls sing. My kiddos loved fishing and crabbing from the pier. The Seamonkey Lodge had plenty of space and then some for our family of 5. Could have easily and comfortably fit another family or 2 . Thank you for sharing your home!
We had a great stay here. We stayed a couple weeks after hurricane Beryl, the owners were very upfront and kept us up to date on repairs to the property. It is a beautiful home with room and beds to fit our whole family comfortably. Fully stockes with kitchen supplies we did not need to bring anything other than food.

Thank you! We are very happy to hear you enjoyed your stay! We look forward to hosting you again soon!
Eight people ages 7-83 all had a blast. Plenty of room inside for everyone to be able to spread out. The highlights by far were catching plenty of crabs for a meal every day and the two 25+ lb black drum we caught (all off the dock!) Easy drive to the beach and Dollar General. Nice dock space for our small center console, which provided more fishing fun in the creek and gulf. Excellent communication with the host as well. The only negative is one room’s bed was wobbly and not very comfortable, but that would not prevent us from renting again. We will be back!

Thank you for taking the time to review our property! We are very pleased to hear that your family had a blast! We are sorry that the bed was not comfortable. It is very important to us that our guests have a comfortable and enjoyable stay. We will look into the issue with the bed and address it. We greatly appreciate your feedback and look forward to your return.
The house was perfect, clean and very well stocked. We had a great time fishing on the dock. Caught some flounder keepers. The dock was perfect for our boat. Check in and check out was very simple. The only issue we had was a neighbor complain to the property owner about our dogs barking. It’s sad to had a neighbor that puts a damper on such a short stay. The owner of the house handled the situation as did we. Communication with the owner was great.
We really enjoyed our stay at the Sea Monkey Lodge. We’re a family with 5 kids below the age of 11 and it was perfect for us to have the large yard between the house and water. One of our kids is 10 months old and it was so nice having a high chair for her! They also had 2 pack & plays (we brought our own) and a baby swing on the swing set. Thank you for thinking of the babies!! The box of toys in the living room was a hit for our toddler boys. The swing set, tree swing, and sand box kept them entertained for hours! We fished from the dock, went to the beach one day which was so convenient to do, and ate at the Crab Trap (right down the road) - delicious and friendly wait staff. The home is in a quiet neighborhood, we felt safe the whole time. The home had everything we needed, was clean and comfortable, with plenty of room to spread out. Loved having dish and hand soap there for us already. We’ve stayed at many homes that did not provide that and it’s always something we forget to pack. Do bring mosquito spray for the evenings/nights and possibly ant repellent (we came across and few ant beds and treated them because we had young kids playing in the yard) Also had a water jug for us to use, so thoughtful! Communication with the host was easy and accessible! Very family and kid friendly place! Thank you for being great hosts! We will be back!
What a beautiful property! It had everything we needed. Plenty of space and the kids had tons of fun. Communication was open and great. We even changed the reservation last minute and it went so smooth.
Great location on the creek. Clean and well equipped Perfect for families. Amenities for children were great for outdoor play out of the sun. Great breeze under covered patio. pier perfect for fishing and crabbing. Caught at least a dozen crabs. Would love to rent again!!!!
Went for the fish and caught plenty of small ones. The crabbing was great - two dozen caught right from the backyard. There were minor issues - some expected (mosquitos & wasps galore), some unexpected (dirty refrigerator, issue w/ the pier lights) - but the owners were prompt to respond and troubleshoot when needed. Overall a great property - 4.5 out of 5 stars.
The Sea Monkey was the perfect place for our large family. There was plenty of space for everyone. Our younger kids loved the beds upstairs. The playset and sandbox were perfect for the grandkids. We have stayed at several places in Sargent and this one is by far our favorite. There was something to do for everyone and no one was piled on top of each other. The house was stocked with everything you need. We will definitely be back here in the future. Thanks so much for hosting us.
Wonderful experience for the entire family!! The owners were on top of a couple issues that came up, got them taken care of immediately. We can't wait for our next Sargent adventure. Thank you for sharing your property with us!!
We had such a wonderful time! The property is just as described and the owners have generously thought of everything to make your stay comfortable. The loft room upstairs was the best ever for our littles to have their cousin sleepovers! We loved it and will be back again!
Our extended family had an amazing stay at the Sea Monkey Lodge. The property was exactly as advertised, well kept, and clean on arrival. Highlights of the property include the upstairs bunk room for the kiddos, the back living room area, back porch, and the huge yard bordering on Caney Creek complete with dock for fishing. Awesome play set for the kiddos as well to keep them busy while the adults relax.
Carrie was very nice and helpful with excellent communication. We would definitely stay again.
This property was everything we were looking for in a vacation home. So peaceful and serine. Plenty of space for everyone to spread out. I loved that the kitchen/dinning and living room were separate and you could close a door between the two if the guys were in the living room and girls in the kitchen/dinning visiting .
This place is not only kid friendly but pet friendly as well .
We will definitely be back for another stay
We had a fabulous time! The house was perfect lots if outside room. Really good size dock. Not much luck with fishing cause if the weather kids still had fun trying. We will definitely book again with her. Carrie was great to work with!

About the host
Hosted by Carrie Schoeffler
We are a family of 8: two parents and 6 young children! Our family loves spending time in Sargent and being outdoors. Sea Monkey Lodge is our happy place away from the hustle and bustle of our normal lives. We feel very blessed to be able to share our home with you and hopefully help you make some memories that will last forever.
Why they chose this property
After an exhaustive search, we almost gave up on owning a vacation home in Sargent. Most of the properties we found were poorly converted fishing shanties or in need of major repairs. When we found this house, we almost did not go see it because the pictures were unremarkable. But when we arrived, we knew we had found our home!
We wanted to be on Caney Creek because we believe that natural waterways hold more fish and beauty. We loved the idea of being on the ground and not having to climb endless stairs every day. And most of all, we were very excited about the amount of space on the lot!
We have added central A/C, high-speed internet, the upstairs dormitory, and a fresh coat of paint. Now, the house we christened Sea Monkey Lodge has rapidly become our favorite place to get away.
What makes this property unique
- There are no outside stairs to climb to access house because we are on GROUND LEVEL - Very kid friendly property with swings and games - Elegant and fully upgraded interior, but with the warmth of a home built in the 1950s - Plenty of space to spread out, both inside and out - Great fishing from our three piers overlooking Caney Creek - Mosquito control performed routinely
