On Water's Edge - Direct Gulf Waterfront!
Summary: Prime oceanfront location! Enjoy sea breezes and spectacular island views when you stay here in this comfortable coastal cottage! With the Gulf Coast waters just steps away from your home away from home (proximity tide dependent), you'll be sure to experience that relaxation and beach getaway time you've been craving!
The Space: As you step into the home, the open living area will greet you with a wall of windows overlooking the water. With plenty of seating, you can easily watch a movie together, grab your favorite book or select your board game of choice for all to enjoy!
You'll appreciate the fresh, bright and fully equipped kitchen complete with peninsula island, stainless steel full-sized refrigerator, oven/range, and dishwasher for easy cleanup, and plenty table settings and serving utensils to keep everyone fed and happy. With large dining table, there's ample room for all to find a spot and enjoy the tasty meal. Head out on the deck to fire up the BBQ and truly experience grilling with a view!
Post dinner, break out your desired local brew or glass of wine, and take in the beautiful sights and sounds of the surf, and of course, get ready for that photoshoot of the spectacular sunset! (And in the morning, be ready for that sensational sunrise to start your day!)

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: 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!

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.

Beautiful View
Everything about this was beautiful! Wake up every morning and all you see is ocean views. The place itself is very clean and updated. We spent hours just sitting on the deck taking in the ocean air and watching the waves. Highly recommend if you're looking for relaxation.

The perfect home for sunrises :)
House clean and well-kept, fully equipped with all amenities. Great location for fishing trips. Close to the beach and walking areas. Beautiful view from the terrace of the bay. I recommend for a meeting with friends and a family vacation.

Relaxation
The house is very clean, well stocked and the views are breathtaking. Spent the whole week on the porch overlooking the waves and it was a much needed relaxing get away for our family celebrating Thanksgiving.

Ideal location
Super location! Rocks are large but if you dont want to walk over them there are open beach areas very close. We saw cool wildlife from lots of crabs to even dolphins the last day we stayed! House setup and kitchen items were great! Loft was fun for our kids. The only thing that was a bit bothersome was the blinds on the door. Impossible to use the handle without hitting the blind. We had a great family vacation!

Wonderful place
Our family of 6 stayed for 4 days! It was absolutely amazing. Make sure to bring extra trash bags and bug spray!!!! We enjoyed just being together, sitting on the deck each morning! It is rocky getting to the beach but we managed. It felt like our own private beach during the week! It did get busier on the weekend. The fire pit at night time was perfect. This house was exactly what we wanted. I’m so glad we picked it.
