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!

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!

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!

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.

We absolutely loved our stay at this beautiful beach house! The views were absolutely stunning every morning felt like waking up in paradise. The home itself was so comfortable, thoughtfully designed, and had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. You can really feel the care that’s been put into every detail. We didn’t want to leave and are already talking about when we can come back. Highly recommend to anyone looking for the perfect beach escape!

The beach house itself is amazing and well thought out in terms of beach gear/games etc. Unfortunately the beach is not accessible from the beach house due to erosion from previous storms; but don’t be discouraged by driving down the beach a little ways and park on the beach.

Thank you for the 5-stars, compliments, and allowing us to host you and your group Anna! As for the main beach access, it is available right down the street from this home. It looks like you were just at the house during high tides. It truly does ebb and flow. It is back to normal entry at this point. All good.

We had a great time at this house. We did have difficulty getting into the house, since the lock box wasn’t working. But the host worked with us and was responsive to get us in quickly. The beach was a walkable distance. My family enjoyed our time at the beach and house. The house was beautiful, clean and fit all our needs.

We loved this property. It was immaculately clean and the kitchen was wonderfully stocked unlike most beach rentals. Our family really enjoyed the outside downstairs area where we relaxed in the shade and played basketball. We also appreciated little touches like the laundry baskets in all the bedroom closets and reading lights for every bed. The door/lock situation is a little difficult and could use an updating. The water filter needed to be changed, and I wasn’t a fan of the single use bath products provided (would love to see the more eco-friendly refillable option) but other than that our stay was wonderful and would highly recommend this place.

Our family's stay here was nothing short of perfect. From the moment we stepped in, the cleanliness and attention to detail were evident. The house exuded a fresh and inviting atmosphere, making us feel instantly at home. The furnishings were stylish and comfortable, providing a cozy retreat after long days at the beach. Location-wise, the house couldn't have been better. A short stroll led us to the pristine shores, allowing us to savor the sunsets and enjoy the gentle sound of waves. The proximity to the beach was a game-changer for our family, especially with young ones eager to build sandcastles and splash in the surf. The management team deserves special mention. Their professionalism and friendliness made our experience memorable. They were readily available to address any inquiries and went above and beyond to ensure our stay was hassle-free. Looking forward to staying here again.

Thank you for allowing us to host your stay. While we appreciate the feedback, all of the homes in the area are on stilts and the cargo lifts do not have a safety mechanism suitable for guests (or insured). That said, you may want to consider a home with an actual elevator (there are a few) should you choose to stay in this area again.
