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!

I sent a message regarding a light that was out and problem with the stove. They replied and were on site within the hour and problems were fixed quickly!

Thank you, Mimi! We really appreciate you reaching out about the light and stove so we could take care of it quickly. I’m glad we were able to get everything fixed right away so you could relax and enjoy your stay. The 979 Crew love to welcome you back!

Pictures do not do this place justice! They have 2 decks stacked on top of each other and the top deck was absolutely breathtaking. As well as the regular deck we spent a lot of nights just taking it the sights! There is no basement so be prepared to walk a lot of steps. For us that was no issue we loved the house

We booked when Tropical Storm Alberto came and that made for an eventful flooding of the neighborhood that made national news for two days. We lucked out that the house was on high ground and neither of our cars ever had water touching them. We made the best of it with our kids! The views from the house are beautiful! Beds were comfortable! Washer and dryer were perfect for the sandy stuff. The interior did have a few places of water damage but obviously it's the weather to cause that. It was very nicely decorated and was very clean! The fridge never cooled past 53* during our stay but they were quick to send someone before the flooding to try to fix it. One stovetop burner and the garbage disposal didn't work but I let them know for future guests. I did suggest little things from the management company to make it even better and they may grab them: glass baking dishes, large frying pan, extra kitchen towels and potholders. Extra bath towels would be great too! It was great though!!

Thanks so much for weathering the storm with us, quite literally. We're glad this home stayed high and dry and you were able to enjoy the amazing views at this home, especially on the crow's nest! We appreciate you allowing 979 to host you and the suggestions. We hope to have you back again sans Alberto and Mother Nature in cahoots!

Great location, great views and lots of space. The crows nest was a bonus. There was significant pet hair in 2 of the bedrooms. There was a strong pet odur and the bedsheets, pillows and towels smelt rancid in the master bedroom. The refrigerator did not get lower than 55 degrees but the freezer worked fine.

Thank you for allowing us to host your Memorial Day holiday, Tricia. We're happy to hear you enjoyed this home's scenic location (especially great views from the crow's nest) and space. All bedding from the mattress encasement up is fully replaced on every turnover, perhaps the high humidity gave a scent? We'll be sure to check out any rugs or decorative item odors, regardless, sorry about that. As for the refrigerator, we haven't had previous guests mention any issues, but we will also check this out. Thanks again.

The ocean view was beautiful and our family enjoyed walking out to the small beach several times. I especially liked the green light on the water some of the neighbors had at night. It made the ocean look magical. The house is in a quieter area which we appreciated. It is a 20-30ish minute drive to most restaurants or activities in Galveston. A storm came while we were there and knocked the power and water out for a few hours. It wasn't anyone's fault so we weren’t frustrated with the rental company; it may have even added a little excitement to our stay.:) However, if the power had stayed out much longer we would’ve wanted to have more bottled water and flashlights on hand. Something to consider when packing. Also if light bothers you in the mornings, you might pack a sleep mask as the MB doesn't have curtains. The rental company was responsive to our needs when we had questions. My favorite parts were the nice view and the comfortable rooms for our family of five and dog.

Our stay was very relaxing in this quiet neighborhood. Check in was easy and the check out responsibilities list short! Well stocked kitchen, bedrooms and bathrooms. The AC had trouble keeping up, currently 100+ degree temps outside, may want to bring an additional fan for the master. The views are exceptional! The top deck is perfect for mornings and evenings. Overall, I would recommend this property!!

Great water views, excellent response time for any questions, relaxing, nice decor, good sheets and towels. Always be prepared for mosquitoes at Treasure Island, does not matter what house you stay in. Could use lounge chairs outside, a large pan for cooking. I had to get creative with preparing a one pot meal. Couple of blinds need replacing. All in all would highly recommend!!! Bring all your own spices.

The beach house was great, perfect for our short family vacation. The place is nice and roomy and the views are awesome, especially from the upper deck, you can see everything! It is a very short walk to a small beach, and just a bit longer walk down to the larger beach. It is perfect. The huge kitchen island is perfect for hanging out. Some notes if you are looking to work remotely: The satellite internet is a bit slow, but the cell coverage is awesome, so I managed by using cell for voice and everything else over the wifi. The internet went out once during an intense storm but was back up within about 20 minutes.

The house is great for many people to stay/visit with a convenient location to the pass beach area. The property management was immediately responsive and helpful. The towels and bedding provided were luxurious. The only caveat is the kitchen stock, no spices or anything left from previous guests as in most places. We bought plastic containers and left them there along with coffee filters. Bring everything you need for cooking, there is a small collection of cookware and dull knives. Other than that (who wants to cook on vacation), would defintely stay here again!

Overall a great house and the location to the smaller beach is perfect. We loved the patio and crows nest. We were there during the lunar eclipse. The crows nest was an excellent spot for viewing. Suggestion to owner/property managers: The mattresses and the dishwasher need to be replaced. All “work” but need some upgrades.

We had a wonderful time! My husband, 10 year old daughter, myself, and another family of 4 had a wonderful time. It’s a great location, not crowded, the house was perfect, and we were close enough to Galveston to go for dinner one night and then a day of Schliterbaun. Definitely would book it again!

Great views, was glad we ordered a golf cart, hopefully they have hauled off that broken stove that was left right next to the entrance door upstairs. Toilet paper was too thin, could have used more kitchen trash bags. But was a pleasant stay and beach was pleasantly not too crowded.

My husband and I spent a lovely weekend quarantining at the Coral Gem recently. The house was exceptionally clean, the bath towels were perfectly hotel-like, and the fridge made plenty of ice. Just a couple of notes for improvement: 1) The house could use wine glasses; and 2) The listing includes pictures of a propane grill and there isn’t one on-site. The property’s inventory list only promises the charcoal grill that is actually there, but the pictures and the welcome binder were misleading. This conflicting information was our only disappointment with the property. Spending time on the top deck was our favorite part.

The broken toilet seat needs to be addressed. I don’t believe the fridge is working properly. The freezer is fine. The top deck and stair railing are shaky. You should have them checked out. Considering a tropical storm just passed through I’ll give you a pass but after this storm I’d have it all checked out.
