Beach Front House Near Galveston
Year Purchased: 2005
Why the Owner Chose San Luis Pass
San Luis Pass is a fantastic area, so close to all Galveston has to offer yet significantly quieter and less crowded. It is a family oriented neighborhood with 24 hour on site security.
The 12 mile beach that runs between Surfside and San Luis Pass ends at our community, about 100 yards behind Tuck's Landing, which means less crowds and a more private beach to enjoy.
Thanks to Hurricane Ike we now have a beach directly in front of our house, so there are two beach areas to choose from in our neighborhood.
The Unique Benefits at this Beach House
Beautiful sunrises on the deck, the sound of the ocean and seagulls, watching for dolphins, long walks on the beach, looking for sea shells,seeing Brown Pelican's fly overhead. Going into Galveston and sitting at The Spot and Tiki Bar on Seawall Blvd. to have a drink and people watch on the patio.
A great local restaurant featuring a variety of dishes such as seafood and steaks, and the best hamburgers outside of Galveston. Red Snapper has been recognized in Texas Monthly, Texas Highways, Hous
A local favorite since 1983, Kitty's serves breakfast and burgers as well as seafood platters and chicken dishes. You can't miss the bright purple building!
A local fishing bait and tackle spot under Surfside Bridge. Sit on the patio, have a beer and watch the fishermen come in with the catch of the day.
Waterfront Hotel, Marina and Restaurant. Cruise ships pass by as you enjoy a meal on the patio.
Owner's Map of San Luis Pass
My husband Marc and I bought Tuck's Landing in 2005. It was built in 2001, and was in great condition although it needed some TLC in the decor and furnishings.
We replaced the all of the furniture - except for the kitchen table, painted the walls, and decorated it, giving it a facelift to create an inviting and more welcoming atmosphere. We have our own personal website with a lot of great information, a link is here on VRBO for your convenience.
It has been a wonderful adventure and we have met some amazing people over the years that have stayed at our house.
In fact - we bought another beach front house last July that we are currently renovating and hope to have it ready for guests this summer.
Tuck's Retreat - coming soon!

"My wife and I were very pleased with Tuck's Landing! It was everything we could have hoped for on the budget we had! Very clean and well kept up property! Although not exactly on the beach, it still had some pretty awesome views from the porch. We would definately recommend this rental to anyone!"
