San Luis Pass is famous for some of the best trout fishing along the Gulf Coast.
Also located on The Great Texas Coastal Birding Trail (upper Texas Coast region) - San Luis Pass is one of the top ten birding areas from Galveston Island.
The 12-mile-long beach that connects San Luis Pass and Surfside is perfect for a picnic, kite flying, and building castles in the sand. Surfing, swimming, shelling, and sunbathing are just a few of the activities for you to enjoy.
Tuck's Landing is just a short drive across the bridge into Galveston Island, where you can walk along The Strand, tour historic homes, visit Moody Gardens.
Come to Dickens on The Strand in December or Mardi Gras! Galveston in February.

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2005
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!
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 of 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.
