Neighborhood

🏝️ We (The 979 Crew) love our sleepy Surfside Beach community with plenty of sand and surf to enjoy! No touristy chain restaurants, shops or hotels. Just chillin' beach bar and grills, food (and beverage) trucks (like Surfin Rita Daiquiris To-Go), burger joints (like Pier 30 and Sharkies on the Beach) and tasty fresh seafood options (like Seahorse Bar & Grill and Beachfront Deck Bar & Grill) line the water. Surfside is your simple relaxing sandy beach, water sporting, surfing, fishing and crabbing vacation destination.

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! When you rent a 979 home, you'll also receive the 'comforts of home' guest welcome starter supply of shampoo, shower gel, conditioner, tp and paper towels, dishwasher and clothes washer pods. 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!

WIFI/TV SERVICE:
Our properties include WIFI/Internet and TV service for your streaming services. 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.

These hosts are absolutely amazing. They accommodated us last minute and the house the location and proximity to the beach were perfect. 10/10 would stay again!

Beautiful place, easy walk across the highway to the beach. We loved the screened balcony. The only thing is we couldn’t figure out the coffee machines 🤦🏻‍♀️ my husband had to run and just buy me a coffee. The couches need some vacuuming under the cushion, lots of pup hair accumulated there but only noticed this looking for the remote. No stores very near so make sure you stop on your way in. We loved that it’s far away from the business of Galveston crowds.

We think it is a beautiful spot and home as well, thank you so much for noting, Claudia! We're glad the screened porch worked out so well too. We haven't had any other guest mention challenges with the coffee makers, but we will definitely check them out. We appreciate the feedback on the pup hair and sorry for any inconvenience as a result. Thanks again!

Great place for a family vacation! The screened in porch on the second floor gave us great views while not being eaten by mosquitoes. Short walk to the beach was very nice. The house was spotlessly clean.

Why thank you Laura, we're so happy you found the beach house to be spotlessly clean, comfortable and convenient to the beach! We appreciate the 5-stars, compliments, and helpful feedback. We hope to host you again!

We stayed at this home for a short beach trip with another family (four kids and four adults total). The house was well-designed and we were all comfortable. Having a screened in porch was lovely. The beach is an easy two-minute walk away. Everything was as pictured! Something unusual was that only three dishwasher pods and three kitchen trash bags were provided for our stay (8 people, 3 nights), and there was also no coffee for the coffee maker or salt & pepper available. There were also just a few tiny hotel-size bottles of toiletries. Thankfully there is a convenience store nearby, so we could dash out to buy these items.

Thank you for the 5-stars, compliments and tips for future guests Nina! We're so glad you family enjoyed a comfortable beach stay, and the screened porch has shown to be quite the hit! We appreciate you noting it! Regarding the supplies, we do share upfront exactly what the home comes with even down to the specific counts. That said, there absolutely should have been some salt & pepper and sounds like the toiletries could have been added to. We've let our field manager know, thank you for the heads up and sorry for any inconvenience as a result. Thank you again for allowing us to host your family!

We had a great time at this beach house and would love to return. Our group was 2 families, consisting of 4 adults and 5 kids. It was the perfect amount of space for our group! The home is cozy and clean. Linens are high quality. Beds and pillows are comfortable. Kitchen had enough basics to cook for two families. The beach is across the main road, but we didn’t mind the short walk. We loved the view of the bay from the main level of the house. The balconies have views of the beach and the bay. Hope to return some day!

The property was cute and well decorated. It was clean on arrival. The property needs repair and maintenance as it’s on its way to running down & not matching the pictures it advertises. You may want to check for a roof leak in the middle room upstairs-

Enjoyed the house! Easy walk to the beach! Had all the amenities we needed and great water pressure in showers! AC worked great!

House is beautifully decorated, but needs a deep clean due to amount of people traffic. Air filters need to be replaced, area rugs need cleaning, kitchen cabinets need to wiped out. Master bathroom tub drain was clogged, full of mud and hair, we fixed this ourselves. Surface wise everything was clean, it is just in need of a little extra attention of specific items. Overall we would stay again at this property.

The house was the perfect size for 5 adults and 3 children. We enjoyed our stay. The dishes were not clean and the bedroom carpets could use a good shampoo. The trundle bed was stuck, we were not able to use it at all. But other than those issues we had a great vacation. I’d definitely recommend it and would come back.

While the beach amenities needed to be brought with you, the kitchen ammmenities were exceptional. I’ve never had such a well stocked kitchen with appliances and extras (not food related). Interior linens and bedding were abundant. The weather wasn’t great but the multiple porches served our group well!
