Your code is live from 4pm on your arrival date until 11am on the date of your departure.



The Neighborhood:

TREASURE ISLAND:

The 979 Crew just loves this seaside and bayside community flanked by Galveston Island on one end and Surfside Beach on the other. On your drive, stop by the grocery store for your favorite grillables and beverages, make a pit stop at the bait shop to fill your bait bucket (great fishing in TI), and/or place a call to make arrangements to rent a golf cart - this is a very golf cart friendly spot. Enjoy the Gulfside's uncrowded pedestrian beach (no cars allowed for 300 yards but golf carts welcomed) where you can setup your group's camp for the day on the beach to build sandcastles, jump in the surf, find unique shells and sand dollars, boogie board, shore & surf fish and build an evening bonfire. Or if preferred, utilize the available launch for your boat or kayak or head to the fishing pier on the bayside. Some much to do so little time!



Getting Around:

SAN LUIS PASS:

San Luis Pass and Treasure Island have been known all over the United States for being a saltwater fishing hotspot and the most amazing sunrises & sunsets! It is 15 minutes from Surfside and across the bridge from Galveston's west end and only about 25-30 minutes to the heart of Galveston Island's activities. Most people come to the area to spend quality 'non-commercialized" time with family, extended family, and friends!



Other Things to Note:

HOSTED BY THE 979 CREW ADVANTAGE:

The 979 Crew is comprised of island locals who are passionate about making sure the home you chose is nothing short of clean, comfortable, and ready for your group's fun! Every home is fully and professionally cleaned after each guest stay. In addition, all of our homes feature luxury hotel-quality/high thread count on all sheets, bedding, and bath towels which are replaced upon every turnover including the duvet covers and shams (we've heard not every company does this, and we think that's just gross). We take clean seriously! When you rent a 979 home, you'll also receive the 'comforts of home' guest welcome starter supply of shampoo, shower gel, conditioner, tp and paper towels, dishwasher and clothes washer pods. We want your stay to be as easy as you do, and the 979 Crew aims to deliver on that commitment. We love our island guests!



🐾 PUP-FRIENDLY:

Bring Fido(s)! We welcome your furry friends (aka family members). Up to 2 well-behaved dogs are allowed at this home, subject to approval and a non-refundable pet fee of $100 per dog per stay.



WIFI/TV SERVICE:

Our properties include WIFI/Internet and TV service for your streaming services. Due to our location (Island living is a whole other way of life), service may be unpredictable or spotty, and repair times can be delayed. While we will do everything we can to ensure these items are in good working order before your arrival, please note, these services may not be as consistent as they are in your area. So grab your favorite people, ditch the electronics, and spend the day at our beautiful beaches!

We had a wonderful stay! The home was quaint, cozy, and perfectly located—just a short walk to the beach with stunning water views. While the refrigerator wasn’t working during our visit, the deep freezer was a great backup and helped us preserve our food. Everything else was lovely, and we truly enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere and convenient location. Would definitely recommend!

We’re thrilled you enjoyed the home’s cozy feel, peaceful atmosphere, and beautiful water views. We did double-check the refrigerator after your stay and confirmed it’s working properly — only the freezer portion is out, which is why we provide the extra deep freeze for guests’ convenience. We’ll make sure to label that more clearly going forward. We really appreciate your kind words and recommendation!

Thank you for allowing us to host you, Jodi. We agree this is quite the amazing direct Gulf front spot. With this scenic waterfront location also comes regular salt spray, humidity, high tides, and sea breezes - all of which are great on the beach but not so much on home exteriors. It is a constant rust and element battle. We appreciate the feedback and will pass it along accordingly.

Location and view couldn't get much better. Nice basic oceanfront property with a short walk to the beach. Property has a few issues that the owner needs to let the management company correct. No traps on several drains leads to sewer gas / smell issue. We took care of most it by leaving a wet towel with a pan of water over the shower drain and making sure the dishwasher was closed.Refrigerator was basically non-functioning on our arrival and the management company did their best to take care of that promptly. Lowe's appliance delivery didn't do them any favors and we were without a fridge for aboout half our stay. The management company made this right with us. They were very good to work with. We would consider staying here again and certainly at any property that 979 Vacations manages.

Nice Getaway

Stayed over the memorial day weekend + a few days. We found the location to be perfect in that it was close enough if you wanted to venture out yet still not overcrowded. Even on the holiday weekend, the short walk to the beach was pleasant and the beach was not chaotic busy. The property was very comfortable for three full time adults and a couple visitor's. Lounging on the deck watching the tides was rejuvenating. Thanks for having us.

We are high risk for Covid & was looking for a getaway that could be contactless. This was. And so relaxing. Loved the sound of the waves. We didn't think the patio furniture looked comfortable but it was. Unlike many rentals we felt the furnishings were high quality. Including the stocking of the kitchen. Any small needs we had were quickly handled.

Great Neighborhood and SO CLOSE to the Water!

Overall, it was great! The house felt a bit older to me than the pictures depicted, but that is expected with a house so close to the water. The AC did not work as well as we had hoped, so it felt like the sheets were wet all night. I felt very safe in that neighborhood. The food trucks across the highway were absolutely amazing!! I would definitely stay there again. If you are afraid of large crashing waves coming close to the house, then stay somewhere else LOL

As for the AC, we have a monitoring system and all was and continues to be working as it should. Perhaps you had the front door open to capture those awesome sea breezes and sounds? Or you like it really cold? We appreciate you allowing us to host your stay and would be delighted to have you back!

The view. The view you get makes it all worth it. The house smelled terrible, I unplugged the scent plugs and oh did the smell get worse! Then my son found a cockroach! YES. An actual giant roach! Then we were looking in the fridge as it wasn't working properly, and found cockroach fecal matter in and around the water filter!!!! I reported it and they moved us next door but that house had a different kind of bugs. The property manager said it was normal to find these "love bugs" in the house and in the beds!!! When we requested compensation for this they said they would reach out later and never did!! 10 out of 10 DO NOT recommend! We are glad to be home!

Antwort von VrboOwner am 3. Okt. 2025
We're sorry you didn't enjoy your choice in locations more. Perhaps you haven't been to the coast? While all our homes are on regular professional pest control treatments, an occasional cockroach can survive for a moment before it meets it's demise. Respectfully, 1 cockroach (even a giant one, we are in Texas, and you know what they say) while unwelcome, is not uncommon in these parts. It comes with the all the benefits of coastal living. Furthermore, our pest control servicer came out after your stay and did not find evidence of even 1 live roach but treated again anyhow. Wish we could upload the report here. As for compensation, we're not sure why that was expected nor warranted. We gave you the option, and you chose to move homes, in this case next door. Again, we are sorry the coast didn't work well for you, but as you said the view makes it all worth it. It is quite spectacular and appreciate you noting that and certainly seems to warrant more than 1-star.

Great location on the Gulf Of Mexico, but with some exceptions.

Booking process was smooth and the place was easy to find. It was great to chill on the deck looking out into the Gulf of Mexico. However, the amount of humidity inside the house made everything damp and musty. There is a significant gap in the door that allows the warm air from outside into the house with the air on causing high humidity. This would explain the amount of rust inside the house. The water pressure for the shower wasn’t great, but not terrible. With some maintenance and the entire entry to the house replaced, it could be much better.

Thank you for noting what made your experience easy and comfortable. As for the front door and gap, good news, it has since been replaced. Unfortunately like so many things these days, the door was on backorder for months. That said, salt, sand and humidity (thus rust) are part of our island environment for all the homes here especially ones direct waterfront like this one. With amazing views comes an ever constant maintenance price. :)

Best month

My husband and I stayed for the month of January I worked remotely and never had issues with wifi. The house was perfect for the two of us and our dog duke who loved to sit out on the deck all day and night. Enjoyed many sunrises and a few big storms. Bring a blanket if you come in January as there are no extras. There are plenty of pillows though I think I counted 15. The neighborhood was pretty quiet this time of year we walked to the beach many of times to look for shells and we had it to ourselves. Tv worked great for rainy days and my husband is a vet so when we drove into Galveston we did not have to pay the $2 bridge fee that probably saved us $70 bucks since we were there for so long. Nearest big grocery store was 25 minutes away. All appliances worked great only problem was the right side of kitchen the electrical would trip so we had to move the coffee pot to the other side of kitchen. Beds were very cozy. Great relaxing get away.

Impromptu stay

Thought we were getting a quiet beach neighborhood. I know homeowners not responsible but there was dump trucks and grading for over 12 hours Saturday. Lots of traffic and it was dead end street without the beach access, so I am not sure why so much traffic. House was dirty. It has ants. We didn’t have water for almost 2 hours when we got there only reason we knew was plumber was there. Husband had to turn the water back on. Only had 1 flat baking pan. Every dish I pulled out of cabinet was dirty. The broom they left needed to be thrown away. I had to wipe kitchen cabinets and stove off they were gross.

Hello Robin, we're sorry to hear you did not enjoy your stay more, and you are correct, this is typically a very quiet beach neighborhood. We're guessing some type of emergency repair on the street was needed. As for the water to the home, it was not off for 2 hours rather just 30 min which was communicated. A last minute plumbing repair needed to be done so that you would have exactly that, water. Regarding the cleanliness, we would have gladly sent our housekeepers back over had we known there was any kind of issue. We take clean very seriously! Again, we're sorry you did have a better experience.

Noise Noise Noise ... and more Noise!

Arrived and had a peaceful arrival. Had some issues with house but willing to overlook due to ocean view. Then neighbors who I believe own the property to the right arrived. Music way loud! Bedroom window next to the house and Thump Thump Thump way into 6am the next day. I called at 2am to complaint but no one answered. Huge bags under our eyes the next morning. Peaceful morning. Why? Well, because they were asleep. Evening came, Thump Thump Thump Thump. Property manager spoke to them but the low frequencies of the bass in the music was still reaching our room. Horrible first three days! Seems owners left after that. The answer I later received was this was typical weekend music and not much can be done. If you are going for a peaceful time to rest your soul, don't go to this place on the weekends. Go on a Monday thru Thursday or you may regret it.

Respectfully Joe, it seems you selected the wrong place. If you were expecting a quiet and secluded experience, i.e. no neighbors and noise, perhaps a house on the beach over 4th of July weekend was not the right choice. Additionally, as you know and were made well aware of, the neighboring house is not owned nor managed by us (thus not in our control), there was no noise violation happening (both verified by the neighborhood security and police doing their rounds which to spoke to) and our field manager went by multiple times to find nothing loud. Not sure what you expected us to do? Lastly, this is a lovely home in a great "non-rowdy" neighborhood and neither deserve the 2-stars you gave. It's really a shame.

Great view!

We loved the view from this home. The home was very clean. And it worked well for our family of four to stay for 5 nights. It needs some updating and some maintenance. Many cabinets and drawers throughout the home are broken or cracked. The HVAC system appears to have some issues as it doesn’t do much of anything to take humidity out of the home. It was very warm at night making it difficult to rest well. We have stayed at many properties in this same neighborhood and never had a home that the dehumidifier had to be emptied several times a day. The refrigerator never got very cold even after staying a few days. The fridge freezer does not work. We had melted ice cream to prove that. They do have a small deep freeze so we utilized that the rest of our stay. Also, the home smells like septic quite often. My husband said he doesn’t believe the traps are working right as a foul gassy odor came back up through the pipes after a few hours of not being used. The microwave does not work. Or the wiring isn’t adequate to run it. When used it pulled the power down to the whole house. Truthfully, it is an older home and it just needs some good TLC. We had a great week overall. But hope improvements are made before the next guests stay.

Thank you for sharing your experience and for your kind words about the view, cleanliness, and how well the space worked for your family. We’re so glad you enjoyed your week on the island. We appreciate your detailed feedback on the home’s needs. This is a direct seaside cottage which receives direct sand, sea, and surf daily (but also creates an amazing view). It does require constant work to keep it comfortable and welcoming, the coastal climate can be tough on systems and finishes. Your notes about the HVAC, refrigerator, microwave, and plumbing are very appreciated and have already been shared with our crew and this home's owner. We appreciate you allowing us to host you and hope that on a future visit, you’ll find the updates and improvements in place so you can enjoy both the home’s charm and its comforts to the fullest.

Need to replace A/C system

The A/C does not work properly. Checked in at 4pm turned thermostat down, by 9 pm it was still a 78*. Contacted property manger and to their credit they did send out a repair man. He somewhat patched it back together to get us through the next few days. It was bearable but not pleasant. There is a de-humidifier in the living room that had to be emptied every 4 hours or it would go in to auto shut down. There was condensation leaking out of the supply air vents onto the kitchen table. In short the whole A/C needs to be replaced. There are also electrical issues plugs and lights out in various rooms. Check the breakers, no trips. No switch covers / exposed wires on exterior. A 4x4 pickup will not fit under the house. This is an older property so the piers are not as high as other houses. Not the property managers issue however it should be noted on description. We only had my truck, I was able to parallel park in the drive way. The place needs to be sprayed for roaches. Lastly not exactly sure what was going on at the permanent residents two houses down. Very shady activity.

Great Gulf view and close beach access

Had a great weekend with the family at this house. Beautiful view from the front porch of the Gulf and a short walk to beach with the littles.

Perfect

The location and views are amazing, and it’s a cute quiet little neighborhood. Everything was clean, and check in/out was so easy with the door code. The neighbors were friendly. Everyone waved. The only problem was that our truck was too tall to fit under the house, and the extended cab was too long to fit in front of the house. We had to get creative with our parking and careful not to hit our heads on the rusted beams. We would 100 percent stay here again, though. Thank you!

Excellent location

Excellent location with waves and sea view from front rooms and deck. Quiet neighborhood and sparsely populated beach. Will book again!
