The Neighborhood:
TREASURE ISLAND: Stop by the convenience store to snag some basic supplies and beverages, fill your bait bucket and/or rent a golf cart. Enjoy the Gulfside's uncrowded pedestrian beach (no cars allowed for 300 yards but golf carts welcomed) where you can setup your group's spot for the day on the beach to build sandcastles, jump in the frothy surf, find unique shells and sand dollars, boogie board, shore & surf fish and build an evening bonfire while you listen to the waves under a sea of stars. Or if preferred, utilize the available launch for your boat or fishing pier on the bayside. So much to do so little time! AREA: 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 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 friend on a clean beach with excellent fishing conveniently located between Galveston and Surfside Beach. It is close enough to take a day trip to Schlitterbahn, Moody Gardens, Pleasure Pier and The Strand, or grab lunch/dinner at the numerous waterfront restaurants including the Sugar Skull Rolling Cafe or Beach or Beach Front Deck Bar & Grill in Surfside. NOTE: While there is a basic grocery/convenience mart (Bright Lite) in the neighborhood and Seven Seas Grocery about 10 -15 min away, we do suggest, given this is on an island, you purchase your groceries ahead of time or at least plan to make a bit of a drive for most extensive purchases.

We loved every minute of our stay. The beach was just a short walk down the road and it wasn’t crowded whatsoever. During the weekdays, we were maybe one family out of 10 on the entire stretch of beach. We found tons of big seashells, saw crabs and even caught a small fish. The house was so clean and airy with the windows and we enjoyed the sound of the waves from the deck and the sunsets were amazing. The hot tub was a huge hit with the kids and great for relaxing after a day at the beach. Kitchen was well stocked with cooking supplies and the beds were comfy. We would definitely stay here again!

This property was beautiful, and so incredibly spacious, which was perfect for the six adults in our family! We loved having so much living space both inside and out. There were multiple outdoor seating areas/decks that were on different levels and different sides of the house, so it had a “private” feel to it, as did the hot tub deck. We took advantage of the gas fire pit and there was ample seating for everyone. It was all so so lovely. The master bedroom and bathroom are truly luxurious and everyone agreed all the beds were comfy and the sheets were cotton! (We don’t prefer jersey knit sheets.) Water pressure was great, the kitchen was well-stocked, and the house had no weird smells. We were thrilled to find a second refrigerator in the laundry room, which was our beverage fridge. Things to note: 1) Pack a few extra dish towels - the dishwasher wasn’t always effective, so we hand washed some dishes that came out of the dishwasher to get them truly clean, and having a few more dish towels than the three small ones provided would have been helpful. 2) Due to the hit or miss dishwasher, be sure to check the cleanliness of everything in the cabinet before use. 3) Bring Kleenex - no tissue in the house. 4) If coming from downtown Galveston or going into Galveston, there is a $2 toll bridge just east of this rental property. Be sure or bring some cash, as the toll booth is actually manned by a person! (I’m unsure if they take credit cards?)

Property was even better than abvertised! Clean, roomy, kitchen was fully stocked for cooking meals. Beach is just a short walk away and is clean and not over crowded. Things to note. Location is great but it's a little bit of a drive to get to a store. Lot's of stairs. Would definitely stay again!

Lovely house, perfect setup, super convenient! Fenced yard, grilling area & cabana, every amenity possible, super clean (fresh white sheets and zero carpet) - can’t recommend it enough! It’s a very short walk to the beach, bring a wagon to haul chairs (and tired kids). The neighborhood is very nice and family-friendly, we come here every year and this is our new favorite house!

The property did not just meet our expectations but far exceeded them. Everything was extremely clean, well maintained, and could not have been any better. The entire family enjoyed this property and location. This may well be our new yearly vacation destination!

We loved our vacation here! When we arrived we were pretty awestruck by how much space there is. The photos don't really capture the square footage of the place - it is much bigger than it looks in pictures. There are several areas for relaxing and socializing --- a beautiful patio downstairs near the yard with couch and roof and Christmas lights for hanging out while someone is grilling. Then, near the grill there are also several chairs to sit around and chat. Upstairs on the deck there are multiple areas to go, and then there's the hot tub area too! It was great for pets because there are secure gates that can be closed and latched, and they designed them in a clever way so that you can allow the dog access to certain areas and block things off if you don't want them to go into other areas. Inside the house is beautiful. Everything feels brand new. Kitchen is outfitted really well, with everything we needed. They have a full sized laundry room with a separate fridge and deep freezer for meet, if you catch fish and want to take them home that could be great. (Oh, also there's a place to clean fish downstairs although we didn't use it.) The bedrooms are wonderful. In the primary bedroom the matress gave us the best sleep we've had in awhile. This is a five star place!
