SeaTrout - Best Sunset & Fishing Spot on the Bay!

Summary:

The SeaTrout is seated on one of the absolutely best spots for that dream fishing and/or Bay vacation! Partake in incredible bird and dolphin watching on Cold Pass and Galveston Bay right from the dock and decks!



The Space:

Fresh and clean vacation home with open living/dining combo and wall of windows to enjoy the stunning water, sunrise and sunset views! Be sure to bring your camera - prime photo ops galore! Comfortable furnishings in much of the house including sleeper sectional in main living area, flat screen SmartTV and dining room table. Bring your boat and use the available slip - perfectly setup for your fisherman/woman's getaway. Use the fishing lights on the dock to draw in the fish at night and take advantage of the fish cleaning station right there too.



SLEEP CONFIGURATION:

* Primary bedroom with King bed with luxury hotel bedding 

* 2nd bedroom with two bunkbeds [one Twin over Full and one Twin over Twin] each with luxury hotel bedding 

* Sectional sleeper sofa in gathering space (full-sized mattress)

*Please bring your own desired bedding for the sofa sleeper, if you intend to use during your stay.



AMENITIES: private dock, charcoal BBQ grill, kayak, RO drinking water system, ceiling fans, SmartTVs



Guest Access:

EASY CHECK-IN/CHECK-OUT: It's easy to stay with us and secure too! Access the home electronically at 4pm on the date of your arrival with your unique lock code that we specifically give only to you via text and email. Your code is live from 4pm on your arrival date until 11am on the date of your departure.



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!



🐾 PUP-FRIENDLY:

Bring Fido(s)! We welcome your furry friends (aka family members). Up to 2 well-behaved dogs are allowed at this home, subject to approval and a non-refundable pet fee of $100 per dog per stay.



WIFI/TV SERVICE:

Our properties include WIFI/Internet and TV service for your streaming services. Due to our location (Island living is a whole other way of life), service may be unpredictable or spotty, and repair times can be delayed. While we will do everything we can to ensure these items are in good working order before your arrival, please note, these services may not be as consistent as they are in your area. So grab your favorite people, ditch the electronics, and spend the day at our beautiful beaches!

The refrigerator did not work. After 6 days it was replaced. Some of the main lights on the dock did not work. Most of the window shades were broken. The mattresses need to be replaced.

Response from VrboOwner on 3 Apr, 2026
Thank you for allowing us to host you, Joyce. We're disappointed you didn't enjoy your time more and couldn't find something nice to share about your bayfront experience. We hope you at least had some great catches out on the dock. That said, respectfully, it seems we have some discrepancies on the timeline and details of your stay. You contacted us on Sunday regarding the refrigerator, and once diagnosed, had a brand new refrigerator on Tuesday. To our calculation, that is 2 days and pretty darn quick especially given our island location. While we completely understand the inconvenience, this home does offer a separate deep freeze you were able to put your items in, as well as you shared you had coolers you could use in the meantime. To be transparent, you also contacted us that same Sunday to say the coffee maker wasn't working properly. Our field manager was there in less than 3 hours with a brand new one. As for dock lights not working, we are not aware of any issue, nor was this reported. Perhaps you accidentally turned them off (they are on a photocell). Regarding the mattress, it is less than a year old; however, we do understand desired firmness is subjective. We do appreciate you staying at our home.

No frills place but we were comfortable during our stay! House was clean and the A/C blows cold. We loved the location and fishing off the dock every night or just sitting and watching the birds and dolphins cruising by and enjoying the gorgeous views…especially the sunsets! The hosts were excellent and very responsive whenever contacted which is very much appreciated. House is nothing fancy and could use some updates but the location can’t be beat. I would definitely recommend! We hope to come back in the future.

Great location! Fishing is great right on the main bay with pier. That is what we came for. The house is not as fancy or finished as others, but if you don’t need that this place was no frills awesome! Everything you need, nothing you don’t. Just sitting on the pier you’ll see dolphins, and sea turtles.

Thank you for the great review, Chad! We’re thrilled you enjoyed the truly unbeatable location and the fishing right off the private dock—sounds like you got exactly the kind of getaway you were looking for. While the house is simple and laid-back, it’s great to hear it had everything you needed for a memorable bay stay. Spotting dolphins and sea turtles from the pier is always a special treat! We hope to host you again!

Great Family Stay

Our family loved staying at this property. The private fishing pier was the highlight of the trip. The family caught many varieties of fish including sharks, flounder, trout, stink ray, and catfish. The property was very clean. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare food for the week. A short drive to beach swimming areas. We had a wonderful time and will be returning again this coming summer.
