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!

Overall a good stay

I hesitated to review this property, but got several email request. We originally checked in and loved it, but quickly found dead bugs, which was troublesome, but better dead than alive. I was concerned that the bed in the master didn't have a mattress cover, so I requested one. I got up in the middle of the night and found live oriental cockroaches and ants along the corners of the room. Lots of dead bugs. I just couldn't stomach it and requested they move us properties, which they did. I understand that it happens when you're that close to the ocean, but it was a little overwhelming. I'm also constantly worried about bugs when traveling, so take that into account. The property they moved us to was great. We didn't have enough beds at that one, but we made it work. We appreciate the move.

Perfect. It could not have been better.
6.0 / 10.0AverageĀ·Mar 2023
Property is well located and overall clean.
Beds are comfortable.
Kitchen is very much under equipped. You cannot prep and cook much so be prepared. No kitchen knives, whisk, scoop, ect, but only a couple of spatulas are made available and a couple (3?) of individual steak knives - not suitable to prep anything. That made any type of cooking really challenging. Toaster was not working. Mostly plasticware with a couple of non-plastic glasses. Barely any cookware, pans are well over their prime time and I was wary of using them. That was disappointing as one rents a house for several days with the expectation that you can cook , which was made very challenging.
No broom available, so good luck swiping the floors while staying 5 days with children and sand/crumbs/roaches on the floor. Also house lists few small appliances that are either missing or not working. There is also no table in the downstairs patio area, so you cannot eat outside and enjoy the weather.
Laundry room and bathroom access are unpractical - in between 2 bedrooms so constant transit through the bedrooms. The laundry room is cluttered with cleaning equipment which makes it difficult to use and navigate. Probably okay for a single family though.
Construction going on across the street made for a loud stay. There is a constant transit of huge trucks bringing equipment in and out.
A few easy enhancements would make this property great - but Iām itās current state, I would not rent again.
