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!

What an awesome getaway!
This home had everything we could have needed! The pool and all outdoor areas were amazing! The inside was very comfortable and enjoyable. The only negative I can say is that if you get queasy easily, this is not the home for you. Anytime anyone was walking through the home, the whole thing shifted, similar feeling to being on a cruise ship. However, that did not deter from us enjoying it 100%!

Best Weekend Getaway Ever!!!
The Palapa Pool House was by far the best vacation rental we have ever had the pleasure of staying in! Although we rented the house to spend time at the beach, we never left the house. You don’t need to! The backyard makes you feel like you’re staying on your own private island without the sand, other people’s music, and hassle of carrying all your stuff back and forth. The fence and gates made it so easy to make sure the dogs didn’t wonder off. The bathroom downstairs and wet bar next to the TV patio area made it the ideal place to just chill by the pool. The commercial ice maker was the icing on the cake! One of the kids even asked if we could stay an extra night, they had so much fun. Were there mosquitoes, yes. Were there flies, yes. But you’re on the gulf coast of Texas. You can’t escape them if you spend anytime outside.
The only thing I could suggest to the owner is the installation of a fan outside above the couches. Otherwise, 10 stars!!! We will be back!

Mosquitos
I have lived in Houston my entire life and vacationed up and down the Galveston coast many times so very familiar with every beach from Boliver to Freeport.
Positives:
The property itself is very nice. The outdoor area, yard and pool are spectacular. The home was comfortable with everything you need. The Ice machine was a super nice add on for sure. The enclosed fencing adds an extra level of privacy.
Negatives:
The mosquitos were some of the worst I have every experienced in my life and made it impossible for the family to enjoy the evening hours outdoors. Once the sun sets, you are swarmed. We spent an hour a day spraying the yard with bug spray every evening just to allow us to grill for 45 minutes.
Bring your food as this area of the beach has less grocery stores for last minute items compared to other areas of the coast.
When I stay on the coast I look forward to the wind and waves and the sounds of the water. Not at this site, limited wind, no waves, no coast sounds.
No trash service, load up all the nasty sacks of garbage and take them to the dumpster yourself in your SUV.
The house behind the property is under construction. Saturday morning, 8am, hammering, electric saws, etc.
On the other hand, you dont have ability to sleep in as the window coverings let in 80% of the sunlight at 7am anyway.
Overall, house and pool are great. Location, not so much.

3 day family getaway
The property was great and the location is good. There is a small toll to get over to the island which was unexpected but if you went back and forth it would add up its 2.00. Not many grocery stores near,at least what we could find and very casual restaurants. The property was great and probably even better once the pool is complete! I highly reccomend for a relaxing getaway (i am very picky too!)

Elopement
Highly recommend! My husband and I stayed here with our Golden Retriever for our elopement in the beginning of October. The house was amazing, pictures didn’t do it justice! The only recommendations I have is to be careful with the deck as I wrote the rental agency that there were numerous pieces of wood that had already rotted & was going to give out. If staying in October make sure to bring OFF, like as much as you can! Will definitely be back!

What a Dream!
We adored our stay at this lovely and CLEAN beach house w stylish decor! The crow's nest was a lovely jewel in this house where we spent much time hanging out and reading! It was a cool temp up there too as it is properly air conditioned! Kayaks are like new w a launch right there!! All new appliances! Carpet looked new too! Best time was mornings on the front porch w the cool breeze listening to the grass hut above. Location is perfect...walking distance to a great sunset beach w shells (no swimming there bc of the current), 2min walk to community fishing dock w great fishing and night lights! 5 min drive to Beach Access 5 which was very uncrowed and lovely! 35 min drive to Galveston...enjoyed 2 afternoons there :) Steve the property manager was one of the nicest men we have met! We will be back!

This beach home was perfect for our family of five, plus 2 dogs. It was clean, well kept, had everything you needed in the kitchen to cook. The outside porch was wonderful. The home had an outside shower for adults and hoses to rinse of the dogs after coming back from the beach.

The cleanest beach house we have ever rented. The house was stocked with everything you need and everything looked brand new. A great little welcome package on the table when we came in. A short drive to the beach. 30 minutes to Moody Gardens. 5 minute drive to Point West Beach Club for dinner or takeout. We loved the house and would stay here again.

Fun beach get away
The home was very nice. Was great for a beach get away. Very clean and inviting when we arrived. There were four of us, my brother, sister and husband and we had plenty of room and space for all. Kitchen was well stocked with dishes and cook ware. We rented a golf cart and rode on the beach daily. Made the short trip to Galveston for a lunch on the strand. Great location, quiet neighborhood. Will book again. Thanks for allowing us to stay in your home.J
