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:

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).

10 / 10Outstanding·May 2026
Nice cottage with a great deck and beautiful views.
8 / 10Excellent·Feb 2026
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.
8 / 10Excellent·Oct 2025
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!
6 / 10Average·Jun 2023
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.
