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.

Summary of reviews
The property is beautiful and spacious with multiple outdoor seating areas and decks, a private feel, luxurious master bedroom and bathroom, comfy beds with cotton sheets, well-stocked kitchen, and no weird smells. Overall, a lovely place for families.
10.0 / 10.0
This is our third year in this house, and our ninth in the Treasure Island neighborhood - all 979 properties are designed and managed to the highest hospitality standards. Thank you for a wonderful stay, once again!
10.0 / 10.0
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!
8.0 / 10.0
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!
10.0 / 10.0
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!
10.0 / 10.0
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!

8.0 / 10.0
Beach house was great . Well equipped kitchen . Large common area . Seems house was build for entertainment yet you’re only allowed 8 ppl . (Note the small print)
The beds were very comfortable minus the cheap Polyester sheets, although soft,they do not breathe.
Construction across the street so decks weren’t that enjoyable during working hours . Minimal views of the water although a short walk to the beach . Beach was fantastic , clean and quiet!
Overall loved the house ,but after flying in from out of state ,disappointed we couldn’t share the house with local family . We understand homeowners apprehensions,but that’s what deposits are for.

Conveniently close but feels remote Get-a-way
It was a great place for our family which includes three young adult children and a dog. Very relaxing to sit out on the deck and mellow out to the sound of the waves. A short walk to accessible beach. Relatively quiet and remote for Texas beaches, about 4 hour drive from our home in Lakeway. Thank you.

Our experience was fantastic and beautiful. We will be back if at all possible.
Renting the property was east and fast. There is one thing I would like if I return is to have someone there to operate the elevator for anyone over 70. Lol.

What a great weekend getaway!
We loved this property and it is everything that we expected, needed ans could want. Plenty of room for our 5 adults and two kids. Great place to settle for a long weekend or a vacation as well. Easy walk to the beach, beach was fabulous and no gritty sand to wash off. The only complaint I have is that the guest bathroom smelled of urine. Not sure if that was the water or what, but we dealt with it and moved on. Great place and clean and beds were even easy to sleep in. Thanks for a great family getaway this September.

Great Place
This is our second stay this summer at this property. It is always spotless and comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked and it is just a short walk down to the beach. It has everything that you might want in a beach house rental. The only reason I docked it a star was because one of the toilet seats was broken upon our arrival. Although they promised to fix it, no one ever showed up to do so. Otherwise, we had a fabulous time and would stay at the property again!

Cute beach house
The house was so cute, really liked the decor! It would have been nice to have an extra washcloth per person as they only provide one washcloth, one hand towel and bath towel per person. But there is a full size washer and dryer which we utilized several times.
Biggest negative, sadly the beach wasn’t very clean.

Great July 4th!
Family all commented on how nice and clean the property is and we enjoyed the open living area.. The house is beautiful and very thoughtfully decorated. We had room to spread out and relax. The deck is wonderful with plenty of seating. We were myself, husband, our 23 year old son with his 4 year old and our 8 year old granddaughter. The grandkids were able to walk to the beach and back easily. Distance to the beach is about a city block or a little less. This remote area is nice and quiet, which is what we were looking for, but no nearby restaurants or grocery stores so you do need to plan your meals and bring your groceries . There is a keurig but it doesn’t work very well. We used the mr coffee that is also provided. The only negative is that use of the cargo lift is not permitted and since we brought all of our groceries for the week that meant a lot of trips up and down the stairs. Thankful my son was with us when we checked in. AC works well. Beds and bedding are comfortable. Nice, new appliances and all of the usual kitchen tools. For the cost of this rental I would expect that the cargo lift could be used. We will probably not rent here again only because my husband and I would not have been able to bring supplies up the stairs without help.

Perfect
This was an amazing property! There was so much space. Everything we needed was there in a well stocked kitchen. Just a short walk to the beach.
Views were awesome. We've been coming to this development for a few years, this is by far the best place we've stayed. Already planning a trip back at the end of summer.

Family Getaway
This house was EXACTLY what was described and MORE. we wanted a place to getaway and enjoy some family time after a long time apart and still feel like home. This house did exactly that....made us feel like we never left home. The weather was not ideal for a beach getaway but the house made up for that and being limited to just the house was all the comfort we needed to have an amazing time. We definitely plan to return in the future. This location is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED if your just looking for some peace and quiet and some quality time with your closest friends and family. Easy access to the beach and fishing is a definite plus. If 8 had anything to suggest, it would be to include a golf cart to your property for a little added fun.

Cute Beach Rental & Great Finishings
We loved our long weekend in the Captain's Quarters. The home is recently updated, excellent furnishings, and a well equipped kitchen. The outdoor tiki / cabana and grilling area was fun and the wrap around porches provide lots of seating and ocean views. The house is a short walk to the beach - bring a wagon to lug your stuff. We had a lovely time and would stay here again.

Beautiful beach house
Our family of four had the pleasure of staying at this lovely house. The open floor plan was spacious and full of natural light. The location was great with a short walk to beach access. In addition to the house being inviting and beautiful, the towels and linens were extra nice. This is a detail that is often overlooked, so to have fresh, soft, nice-quality towels and sheets really makes the home feel special and comfortable.

Great accommodations
Hi there, our stay was great! Such a cute home! Super clean, close to the beach, was stocked with everything we needed. Bunk room was great for our kids, they found a board game in the closet to play when it was rainy outside. Very convenient to the beach entrance. Thanks for the hospitality, we’ll be back!

Great location
We absolutely loved this house. Perfect walk to the beach and very private. If you fish at the end of the road by the rocks by husband caught and released the largest red fish he ever caught in his life. And he has been fishing since a kid. The house is very equipped, but bring k cups for coffee. The house has a great floor plan. We will be back!! Also very clean!! You are not on the ocean but can watch the waves from the porch. Our friend stayed in a home on the front street and the waves actually kept her awake because it was so loud.

Quick Getaway
This house worked out great. This was just a quick getaway to reset for the new year and to do a little beach house hunting! For being a rental that accepts pets I found it to be quite clean. I liked the thoughtful touches around the house. Thanks for sharing your home :)

Perfect House!
For my hasband and friends the house was perfect. We really enjoyed the layout, as the interior was so cute! And the porch was perfect for enjoying the seabreeze and listening to waves crash on shore. It was also very clean and had everything you needed for a weekend getaway.

Great house for a girls’ retreat! The open floor plan was great for hanging out and visiting! Nice kitchen and well furnished. Awesome porch to sit on to catch up with friends and nice views! Mosquitoes were an issue so bring spray! Overall we had a fantastic experience at this property!

House/Beach
We give the house a 5 star rating! This is our third year back to the same neighborhood and this house has been the nicest we have stayed at. Unfortunately the beach no longer has a private area blocked off that only gold carts can access. This has nothing to do with the house review, but now you have to be extra careful with small children people people can literally (and they did) drive their RV down to the beach to camp out. The beach was still very clean and family friendly, just not private like it has been in past years!

Perfection!
We rented the home for our annual family vacation and the home was just as described online. It was very clean and we enjoyed the space for playing games, cooking together, and sitting to relax. The beach is very close and the view was spectacular! We took family pictures at the beach which was a short 2 block walk. The community is also very nice and there was a general store just outside of the neighborhood. I can't say enough about how fabulous it was to stay here. My nieces and nephews continue to express how much they loved the home and location. Thank you!

Thoughtful Details
In addition to being exceptionally clean, organized and beautiful to the eye, this house had many thoughtful details that showed the hosts had our comfort in mind. These extra touches made our stay a complete pleasure since we didn’t have to figure out what to do to meet a need. There were multiple sofa blankets so we could all curl up on the roomy sectional sofa and chat or play games from their extensively game stocked closet. This is a well loved house that loves you back! Thank you!
