The Neighborhood:
TREASURE ISLAND:
The 979 Crew just loves this seaside and bayside community flanked by Galveston Island on one end and Surfside Beach on the other. On your drive, stop by the grocery store for your favorite grillables and beverages, make a pit stop at the bait shop to fill your bait bucket (great fishing in TI), and/or place a call to make arrangements to rent a golf cart - this is a very golf cart friendly spot. Enjoy the Gulfside's uncrowded pedestrian beach (no cars allowed for 300 yards but golf carts welcomed) where you can setup your group's camp 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 kayak or head to the 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!
Other Things to Note:
HOSTED BY THE 979 CREW ADVANTAGE:
The 979 Crew is comprised of island locals who are passionate about making sure the home you chose is nothing short of clean, comfortable, and ready for your group's fun! Every home is fully and professionally cleaned after each guest stay. In addition, all of our homes feature luxury hotel-quality/high thread count on all sheets, bedding, and bath towels which are replaced upon every turnover including the duvet covers and shams (we've heard not every company does this, and we think that's just gross). We take clean seriously! When you rent a 979 home, you'll also receive the 'comforts of home' guest welcome starter supply of shampoo, shower gel, conditioner, tp and paper towels, dishwasher and clothes washer pods. We want your stay to be as easy as you do, and the 979 Crew aims to deliver on that commitment. We love our island guests!

Just back from a week at the Second Wind. We were enjoying the amazing fishing that the San Luis Pass area has to offer. The house was beautiful and outfitted very nicely. We cooked nearly every meal there and found it had everything we needed! The deck and boat slips are super nice and convenient. Have stayed in the area numerous times but this was our best stay yet.

Thank you for allowing us to host you and glad your experience was a 10 out of 10. We agree this is a lovely bayside spot - appreciate you noting that. Unfortunately, the coastal ants are doing their march this time of year and seeking water/food. We're sorry they were messing with your vacation vibe, darn it. We hope to host you again!
This neighborhood is our favorite. From the friendly community to the variety of wildlife. This house was beautiful and fit our family well! There a lot of rules at this location with very high fines, and that stressed our family. Other than that a great location.

We're so glad you love this community, location, and home, Lyzzie! We love it too! Thank you for allowing us to host your 4th of July holiday stay. As for fines, we aren't sure exactly what you mean by that. Maybe given it was the 4th holiday, it was the signs around setting off fireworks in the neighborhood which is a big no no and safety risk? Thanks again.
Thank you for allowing us to host your stay! We appreciate you being such a great guest to host and hope to have you back again for some more island time.
