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!

We felt right at home during our stay. The house was clean, comfortable and well equipped for our stay. Check-in was a breeze and we were greeted by a lovely basket that not only included a very helpful binder of instructions/guidance but also nice host gifts. In addition, the neighbor was very quite and peaceful. One of our favorite things about this property was the relaxing pool! Thank you to the 979 Crew for an enjoyable stay!

My family loved this place! It was close enough to walk to the beach and far enough to not deal with loud guests that are near the beach. The house was comfortable and we felt right at home. Can’t wait to stay here again!

Thank you, Nancy, we can't wait to host you again! We're so happy to hear that your family felt right at home and enjoyed the perfect balance of beach access and quiet relaxation.

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Coral Cottage. The house was exactly as described in the pictures. We were thrilled that we could bring our dog with us - she loved her evening walks to the beach! The 979 crew even left dog treats for her in the welcome basket 🐶. The neighborhood was quiet and cute. The beach is within walking distance but we usually drove and parked for the day so we didn't have to lug all our items. There were plenty of beach accessories left by previous guests that we used (chairs, boogie boards etc.) which was nice too! The garage was a bonus for parking, and the pool and outdoor area were lovely in the evenings. All in all, a very enjoyable experience. We will be back!

We loved the home other than a few hiccups. There wasn’t a sheet pan for baking and the master was a bit warm. The neighborhood was quiet and walkable to the beach. We loved the outdoor kitchen and pool. Parking was easy. Overall great time and will book again if we visit Galveston.

We're glad to hear you loved the home and location, Jaqueline, the owners have put a lot of work into making it a lovely place. We appreciate you noting that. We confirmed, there actually was not only 1 but 2 baking sheets at this home. They are and were located in the bottom drawer of the oven/range. Perhaps you did not think to look there? We haven't had any guests mention the bedroom being warm, maybe the vent was closed? We will definitely keep note of this though and continue to check it out thoroughly. Thank you for allowing us to host your stay.

We loved the house and would stay there again. The home is well kept and clean. I love that it looks just like the pictures. :) 979 was prompt when responding to the pool heater going out which was great. Things happen and it’s great when it’s handled appropriately. The location is amazing. We loved that the home is walking distance from the Seawall and strand. We hope to stay at this home again as it was perfect for our family and stay.

This cottage was so well thought out and exudes class in every way. Well appointed, furnished beautifully, and oh so cozy and comfortable. The pool and backyard are spectacular and the outdoor kitchen is fabulous. So private and clean. We will be back here often now that we've experienced this place. Maybe the best booking we've had EVER! Close to virtually every destination we had on our list. Just parked the car in the garage and ubered everywhere!

The home was exactly as pictured. It was clean and comfortable. Just a short walk to the seawall and a short drive to restaurants. Having the pool in the backyard was the icing on the cake. Unfortunately, the weather this weekend was VERY windy and relaxing on the beach really wasn’t an option. The pool and the covered porch were just what we needed. Our 2 dogs had a great time!

Excellent. The grilling situation was a little ify. Kind of rusty. Kitchen well stocked with loads of storage. Close to beach. Needs more lamps in living room and main bedroom. A hanging light over the dining table would be nice. It was kind of dark, and the ceiling cans are blinding. We loved our time there. We made a great choice!
