The Neighborhood:
TREASURE ISLAND:
Stop at the convenience store on the way 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:
AREA:
San Luis Pass and Treasure Island have been known all over the US for being a saltwater fishing hotspot and the most amazing sunrises & sunsets! It is 15 mins from Surfside and across the bridge from Galveston's west end and only about 25-30 mins 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!

Truly Wonderful!
We really loved the house, the location, and the ease of getting to the beach. This is a truly wonderful place to stay if you are wanting to get away from it all! Great places in Galveston are 45 minutes from the home, and there are cool restaurants 20 minutes away in Surfside. The property management company was responsive and helpful. We’ll be back for sure!

Great house
The house is decorated well & is stocked with most everything you need. Only things to keep in mind: front bedroom has no way to lock the door and it’s on a slide and you can see in the room from hallway. AC doesn’t work as well in that room either. The bunk room doesn’t have a door. And you have to walk through the bunk room to get to the master bedroom. So those are the only issues really. It’s a great location, right on the water. Green lights out into the water at night for fishing from houses next door. I loved the beach chairs & umbrella provided, and the Bluetooth karaoke speaker was awesome too. All in all a great experience

Great Ocean View
Wonderful place to stay and enjoy the beach (5 min walk away or short golf cart drive) and the amazing views from the front porch. House was very clean and well maintained. From reserving the house until we checked out communication with the host was quick and helpful. Can’t wait to visit again soon.

Nicely appointment home on the water!
Beautifully decorated home with all amenities you can think of. Kitchen was FULLY stocked with dishes, appliances, utensils, you name it! Very comfortable beds and everything was SUPER clean. The only thing I would change is some blackout curtains in back bedroom as a good amount of light comes in from neighbors outside lights and the morning sun. That’s a personal preference though as I prefer a super dark room. Wonderful stay and super relaxing property.

Front-row seat on the Gulf
My second stay. I love this cottage. It preserves the frame of an old-fashioned beach house with a ritualized and stylist interior. In short, the “front-row seat on the Gulf” is simply perfect.

Windy...but relaxing!!
We had a great relaxing 5 day stay....property as we remembered it, but they added a NEW GAS GRILL! Was veryyyy welcome, so thanks. Last 2 days the wind died down and one block from the house there were swarms of Vampire mosquitoes, so take block..but the sea breeze kept them away from the house! Same comment from our last about sooo many plates etc is that there is nowhere to put groceries?? Hmmm

Best location and GREAT home!
This location was perfect. There is nothing like listening to the waves crash as you drift off to sleep and hearing them again when you wake up in the morning! Our group had 4 adults, two kids and our dog. This home was a dream spot for us. We have stayed in a lot of rentals over the years, in Texas and elsewhere. We like to cook at home when we are at the beach so we never have to lose our beach vibes. This is by far the most well-stocked kitchen we’ve ever had. Thank you for a wonderful family trip!

From the deck or inside this home was a perfect spot for watching the pelicans or birds fly by and dolphins play! Home was nicely decorated and had a fully equipped kitchen. Enjoyed sea breezes and spectacular sunrises! Gulf Coast waters right in front was what we were looking for and this home did not disappoint! We will be back again next year!

On the sea!
Lovely quiet area (except for the college kids party the first night behind us) with just the sea and a breeze. Gas grill was rusted beyond help, but property manager sent over Charcoal, lighter fluid and matches for the charcoal grill! Thanksss. Quiet area with a lot of empty rentals. Area looks like it is making a rebound with lots of new construction. House had everything we needed! In fact too much! Who ever thought one small house could be soooooo packed with stuff as a rental! The short dead-end road had more traffic than we expected of Looky-loos, but it was still very relaxing for us!

Beautiful home with amazing views and location!
The property was everything we needed and hoped for! The views are stunning. We watched the dolphins in the mornings and evenings from the balcony. The beach is awesome! You won't encounter too many people, really only those that live/stayed in the community. If you’re a city person this is a nice relaxing and quiet getaway, there are two cities nearby with plenty of fun things to do. We had some of the best food in Galveston! The house has games and everything you would need in the kitchen. The owner has some nice high end pot and pans, cutlery, dinnerware, and silverware. It was like I was at home and not a rental. Nice modern interior furniture and home accessories. The down side is the back (master) bedroom gets very warm in the afternoon and evenings. We couldn’t find the fan remote. The cleaning company missed a few things (washing bathroom floor mats, making sure the remote was accessible or even there, didn’t clean the microwave, and used a blood stained pillow case). Nothing earth shattering but I wasn’t pleased either considering we had to clean upon arrival. Management did not respond to my message or photos regarding the cleanliness but did respond about the remote saying it should be there on the dresser….it wasn’t. You have to leave the bedroom door open 24/7 and leave the floor fan running. I have one room in our home that doesn’t get adequate air so I don’t want to sound overly critical. The rest of house house was nice and cool the entire stay! The beds were comfy. The gas grill didn’t work on Labor day so they found a charcoal grill and had it delivered within hours. Management was on it! That was AWESOME considering we had a bunch of meat. Despite that, we would definitely stay there again. It’s truly the perfect location if you want to leave the fast paced, loud/crazy city life.

Amazing stay!
My boyfriend and I stayed with my three sons ages 20-22 and their girlfriends. Even with 8 people we didn’t feel crowded. The view from the deck was amazing!! The only thing missing was not having the beach right in front of the house, but it’s only a few miles to the public access. The house was perfect and the kitchen had everything we needed! I would definitely stay here again!!

Perfect Location!
This house is amazing, not to big or too small. Location is quiet and steps from the beach. We set our alarms to watch the sunrise and have our morning coffee on the large front deck. Extremely quiet and friendly area. We also enjoyed our morning and evening walks. Surfside is 12 minutes one way and Galveston is over the San Luis Pass and is a 25 minute drive the other way. We will definitely stay again.
