The Neighborhood:
TREASURE ISLAND:
Stop by a local 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 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!

Best Weekend Getaway Ever!!!
The Palapa Pool House was by far the best vacation rental we have ever had the pleasure of staying in! Although we rented the house to spend time at the beach, we never left the house. You don’t need to! The backyard makes you feel like you’re staying on your own private island without the sand, other people’s music, and hassle of carrying all your stuff back and forth. The fence and gates made it so easy to make sure the dogs didn’t wonder off. The bathroom downstairs and wet bar next to the TV patio area made it the ideal place to just chill by the pool. The commercial ice maker was the icing on the cake! One of the kids even asked if we could stay an extra night, they had so much fun. Were there mosquitoes, yes. Were there flies, yes. But you’re on the gulf coast of Texas. You can’t escape them if you spend anytime outside. The only thing I could suggest to the owner is the installation of a fan outside above the couches. Otherwise, 10 stars!!! We will be back!

Mosquitos
I have lived in Houston my entire life and vacationed up and down the Galveston coast many times so very familiar with every beach from Boliver to Freeport. Positives: The property itself is very nice. The outdoor area, yard and pool are spectacular. The home was comfortable with everything you need. The Ice machine was a super nice add on for sure. The enclosed fencing adds an extra level of privacy. Negatives: The mosquitos were some of the worst I have every experienced in my life and made it impossible for the family to enjoy the evening hours outdoors. Once the sun sets, you are swarmed. We spent an hour a day spraying the yard with bug spray every evening just to allow us to grill for 45 minutes. Bring your food as this area of the beach has less grocery stores for last minute items compared to other areas of the coast. When I stay on the coast I look forward to the wind and waves and the sounds of the water. Not at this site, limited wind, no waves, no coast sounds. No trash service, load up all the nasty sacks of garbage and take them to the dumpster yourself in your SUV. The house behind the property is under construction. Saturday morning, 8am, hammering, electric saws, etc. On the other hand, you dont have ability to sleep in as the window coverings let in 80% of the sunlight at 7am anyway. Overall, house and pool are great. Location, not so much.

3 day family getaway
The property was great and the location is good. There is a small toll to get over to the island which was unexpected but if you went back and forth it would add up its 2.00. Not many grocery stores near,at least what we could find and very casual restaurants. The property was great and probably even better once the pool is complete! I highly reccomend for a relaxing getaway (i am very picky too!)
