About this house rental
Summary:
Amazing panoramic and unobstructed views of the ocean, San Luis Pass, and beautiful bridge from this island home will blow you away - it's a WOW! This IS the quintessential direct sparkling waterfront vacation you've been waiting for!
The Space:
Relax and take in the gorgeous ocean views (often including dolphins) from the multi-level decks while you grill out (gas) and prepare your favorite dishes in the huge and well-appointed kitchen. Then, dine either indoors or outdoors with ample seating for all. Thereafter, chill in the welcoming family room with your preferred movie before you head to bed to rest in maximum comfort. All beds include high-quality bedding, so you're sure to have a good night's sleep.
BED/BATH CONFIGURATION:
* Primary bedroom with King bed plus Twin Daybed with Twin Trundle and ensuite full bath (Upper Level)
* Huge 2nd bedroom with King bed, Queen bed and 2 Twin beds and ensuite full bath (Upper Level)
* 3rd bedroom with Queen and Twin beds and shared jack and jill bath (Main Level)
* 4th bedroom with Queen bed and shared jack and jill bath (Main Level)
OTHER FEATURES: charcoal grill, hammocks, dog-friendly, wet bar, Internet/WIFI, ice machine, washer and dryer, guest comforts of home welcome kit
NOTES:
1. Absolute maximum of 14 guests and 5 vehicles on the property at any time during your stay. No exceptions. Thank you.
2. Depending on the tide level, the amount of beach area ebbs and flows, so to speak. At times, the sand in front of the house may be completely covered with water and at other times not at all. Regardless, you will always see the Pass, Gulf and beautiful bridge views.
AREA (IMPORTANT):
While this home looks right out to the stunning San Luis Pass and beautiful Gulf (perfect for bird watching, sunning, beachcombing, fishing & sunrise/sunset viewing), the state of Texas in late 2017 has put a restriction regarding swimming in the Pass because of unpredictable riptides. Therefore, neighborhood swimming, water sport and surf fishing beach is a 9 min walk. See image included.
Guest Access:

The Neighborhood:
TREASURE ISLAND: Stop by the local 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 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 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!

House is as described, beds comfortable, property clean and orderly. You can't beat the view! Guys fished, literally, from the deck, kids found crazy amounts of shells. A short walk from the house is miles of beach to enjoy. Couldn't have asked for a better place to relax, rejuvenate and reconnect with family and friends.

Everything was great just timing was bad. Mosquitoes were awful but that wasn’t the fault of the property company just bad timing with our visit.

This home is perfect for a visit to the Gulf. It was well stocked, comfortable, and right on the ocean! Wonderful hosts were quick to answer questions. We will be staying here again!

Easily meets the needs of a large family.
The family had a great time despite the fact that the breaker in one of the downstairs bedrooms kept blowing and they spent the entire trip without a/c and light in that room. There was a drowning 6 weeks ago on that piece of the beach so there was no swimming allowed and we were not informed of that by the property management company, very dangerous to swim there. Otherwise, a great time was had by all and great family memories made.

Beautiful Location
Location was nice and quiet with a beautiful view. Plenty of games in the house for the kids to play on rainy days. Beds were comfortable.

Location was perfect for us!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We loved the view, the beach toys for kids, searching for cool shells and building/designing and playing in the sand. The house comfortably accommodated 13 of us. Everyone enjoyed catching huge shrimp and crabs large enough to boil with a simple net. With the smaller shrimp as bait we caught fish right from the beach. It was a ten minute walk to the swimming beach or a few minutes ride.

Z Beach House
Overall we enjoyed the property. There was plenty of room, the beds were very comfortable and the house was clean. Our only disappointment was that there was no beach in front of the house any time of the day. The tide was always up to the lower deck. The staircase to the beach/water shown in the photos did not exist. We had to walk down a couple of house to find any sand/beach. With that said, we still had a great time. The kids had fun in the water, catching crabs and making sandcastles. We had a couple of issues but response from the property managers was quick. The code to the main door did not work when we arrived but they sent a new one within 30 minutes. The lock actually broke midweek and the repair man was there quickly to fix it. The icemaker broke a few days before we arrived but we were told ahead of time so we were able to purchase ice. Other than that we had a great time.
5.0
The property was excellent for our purpose.
The house was great. The only negative issues were the ice makers did not function and the beach did not match the photos. There was no beach in front of this property; however, we enjoyed our stay.

Family vacation
It was a very nice vacation but the beach in the picture was not there. The tide was very high all week and it is very far from stores. So if you go to Galveston a lot while you're there you will have about 20 to 30 minutes and a $2 toll on the bridge both ways.
5.0
Great house outside pictures need retaken.
Property was very nice and booking and checking in was very easy. Only downfall is the pictures of outside show more beach out in front of the house and alot has been washed away. We still had a great beach on the side of the neighboring house, and we rented a golf cart to drive to a bigger nicer beach a couple of blocks away. Overall great experience.

Needs new photos, NO beach anymore
The Z beach house itself is great. Unfortunately, the outdoor photos of the beach in front of the house are completely inaccurate now. I realize that the hurricane is not the fault of the owners but the outdoor photos that are advertising the home are completely misleading. There is NO beach in front of the house anymore. The house has gulf water flowing up to and under the house at all hours of the day. There is no place to play in the sand except on the side of the house between this house and the neighbors. It was very disappointing for our family. The interior of the house is exactly as shown and we had a pleasant stay. The property managers were very responsive regarding a TV issue that we had and the kids certainly appreciated that! However, the photos of the beach are completely inaccurate and need to be updated.

Our second visit to the Z Beach House
We spent a weekend here last fall, and were excited to find an opportunity to come back this summer. It's a roomy house, well equipped, with unquestionably the best beach access anywhere around. The house casts a big shady spot on the beach in the afternoon, making it a pleasant place on even the hottest of days. We look forward to our next visit.

Family Getaway
We really enjoyed stepping in right out onto the water. Although we did not read the fine print about swimming, our grandkids were just the right age, running along edge of water, splashing, playing and picking up shells and crabs! House was clean and the space was perfect for all 20 of us! Definitely recommend!!!

A pelican brief stay
We absolutely loved this property. The large rooms, 3 story views are amazing. We saw everything from crabs to pelicans from our back porch. I highly recommend this property for a large family or group.

Perfect Location
This house sits right on the water. During high tide you can sit on the bottom deck and have your feet in the gulf. We had a great time here and will be back. Plenty of space for a large family or group.

Wonderful winter getaway
Had a wonderful girl's getaway with 5 family members aged 13 to 79. It was an absolutely fabulous home with more than enough room. Very clean, well stocked, and cute nautical decor! The stairs literally lead right onto the beach. The outside shower with warm water was really nice. It had a picnic table, cleaning station for shells and hands (I guess men might call this a fish cleaning area -- ha ha), hooks for hanging stuff, bins of beach toys, and lots of chairs. We did have to watch the tide tables closely as high tide left no beach in front of the house. Overall, a 5-Star rental. Would highly recommend!

Beachfront paradise in Texas
We got lucky - perfect weather, unusually blue water and not a single mosquito in sight. Our biggest lucky break was finding this house. It's a big two story with a broad wrap-around deck on both floors, roomy for our group of 3 couples and a baby, and comfortably equipped (LOVED the big ice maker). It is literally just steps from the water. We eagerly look forward to our next visit here.

Great getaway right on the beach
We stayed for a long weekend with friends at this house and it was great! As soon as you walk off the back steps you are on the beach. Great location and the house was clean and plenty of space for everyone. Although you cant swim at the beach at this location, we didnt mind and the swim beach was just around the corner for when the kids wanted to go, which was only twice. We would stay here again and recommend it to anyone.

Excellent Beach House
This property was great for our family! You can walk off the porch and have your toes in the sand. It was clean and had all the necessary items needed to make your trip amazing. We will definitely go back!!

We Would Love to Go Back!
This is an awesome property and presents exactly as described. VERY well equipped, just take the food you love for that grill! We so enjoyed our evenings on the deck w/the yummies from it and our favorites wine(s). :) Only thing we found was some details missed in cleaning. I think this is totally on the cleaning company as ceiling fans were dirty, and the kitchen counter had a "film" on it. We wiped everything down and were happier than clams! No big deal. Thank you for the warm welcome, hospitality and beautiful, relaxing home!

What an amazing property! My family of 4 boys just loved it. We fell in love with the whole area! So thankful to find a home that we could take our dogs also. I great trip had by us all!!!

Perfection
The Z beach house was nothing short of perfection! We wanted lots of room for all the family and we wanted beach front property and the Z house did not disappoint at all. Every detail of our stay exceeded our expectation. The ice machine was so awesome!! The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed . Beds were comfortable. We enjoyed grilling on the deck and watching the beautiful sunrises and sunsets over the water. Neighbors were friendly . Thank you for sharing this beautiful home. We hope to return to make more family memories.

Great House with Exceptional Service
The house was perfect. Everything was in working order, clean and plenty of room for our party of 10. I chose this house so we could have a true Beach House experience and we did just that. Our group spent more time on the beach and near the water than any vacation in recent years. We have two 11-yr olds and they were never bored. Our friends brought their teenagers and they never complained once, it was a great time. The shelling was amazing as well as the crabs our family caught each night.
The only drawback was early in the week we had a very strong storm come in which really effected water quality. The current is very strong in front of the house so our kids were only allowed to go knee deep but there is a beach area just around the bend for safer swimming. HOLY MOSQUITOS! At times they were unbearable so we will be better prepared next time.
Water and mosquitos are things we can't control so with that I thought this was an awesome experience and thankful we made the 1,000 mile drive to get there!

Needs a new grill
Everything was perfect. Walking right on to the beach...having a bed for everyone in the family....huge kitchen to cook and enjoy...only thing we missed was a grill. The one here I would be afraid to need a shot if I used it. But it's hard to keep metal nice by the water. ONLY downfall for us. And really, we could of just cooked the burgers on the stove. Best house you'll find on VBRO for the price.

Beach hair...don't care!
This was an amazing house right on the beach. The beds were comfy and the house was exactly what we wanted and expected. We enjoyed watching the sunrise from the deck outside of the master bedroom and the lower deck was perfect for sipping wine in the afternoon. We enjoyed watching the porpoises and all of the various birds who call the Gulf Coast home. Our time there went by way too fast. We will definitely rent this home again.

Z Beach house is really ON the beach.
Few waterfront rentals are literally ON the beach - this one is and makes it special. We had a great time shelling and playing games in the sand. Bedding is awesome, kitchen well equipped. Could use some additional seating inside and out when you are 8+ guests, which the house can accommodate easily. It’s a haul in to the store, so provision well ahead of time. Going out to eat, it’s closer to Surfside to the South, than Galveston. Thanks fo the memorable stay.
