The Neighborhood:

We just love this historic and scenic spot with the Seawall just 2 blocks from this charming home. Guests can enjoy the many restaurants from seafood to pizza or head to the Galveston Island Historic Pleasure Pier. Still not enough, check out Moody Gardens, Schlitterbahn Waterpark, or the fabulous and historic Strand. There's plenty of activities to do, and of course, there is nothing better than a day at the beach!



Getting Around:

Most activities are within walking distance from this central spot. However, Uber and Lyft are widely available and convenient for evenings out. Seasonal trolley service runs along parts of the Seawall and into downtown, which is a charming, car-free way to sightseeing.



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!

Amazing location beautiful home

We came for the Izquierda festival with all of our family. We were able to walk to the beach and the festival in 5 minutes. Close to great food, pleasure pier, golf cart rentals etc. The house is beautifully remodeled leaving all of the historic charm. Perfectly equipped for a short stay but close to convenient store for longer needs. We would definitely book again.

This is the nicest rental we’ve visited in town - normally we have to go out to Pirates Beach or Pointe West for something this nice. All updated, roomy kitchen and bedrooms and all the necessary cookware is there. Fantastic location as well. We’ll look for this one again.

Nice stay - will come back

house layout great as well as closeness to beach. Some noise pollution from dogs in nearby rentals, We stayed at this site previously and knew it would fit our needs - one large bedroom that could fit parents with small 2 yr old twins and 2other bedrooms on other side of house for others. House has nice linens, towels, and kitchen ware.

Family Christmas

This home was perfect for a relaxing Christmas week with our granddaughter, who is at Coast Guard Station Galveston. It is spacious with three bedrooms and two full baths. The home was exactly as advertised and the location is excellent with many restaurants nearby. The kitchen is well equipped and the furniture is comfortable. We had two small dogs so the fenced yard and electric gate were appreciated.

Beautiful, spacious house and great location

The house was well designed. The primary suite was on one side of the house, which provided separation, if needed. The other two bedrooms were spacious and had good closet space. Both bathrooms were well designed. The front yard and back yard were connected and fenced in, so Roxy the Dog was able to enjoy the yard. Parking is available in the back yard via the alley. The beach, seawall, Murdoch’s was just a short walk away. We hope to be back next year.

great location, nice place

Everything was nice, stylish and well-equipped. My 2 kids enjoyed having their own bedrooms, and it was nice that the master was remote. Very easy walk to the beach, Miller's Grill and Murdoch's. The older Keurig was a little tricky to get more than a few tablespoons of coffee from, but they had a regular coffee pot too. I couldn't get the back gate to open from the outside keypad so we just parked in the front and never had any issues. Those are tiny things that didn't bother us much at all, and everything else really was perfect. Our bed was really comfortable. Overall, a very nice place. 5 stars.

Why thank you Paul, we're so glad you had a 5-star experience! We have since replaced the Keurig, it seems it met its demise. May it RIP. We haven't had anyone mention challenges with the back gate, but we will certainly check again. We hope to host you again!

Property was excellent, so comfortable and clean, would go back, but need to talk to neighbors on corner they have a dog they leave out all the time and he barks non stop. Sad for dog and does get on your nerves after a while. But hopefully if that taken care of , the property is a 10+

Thank you for staying with us. We're not sure what would have made your stay better (?) and are disappointed to hear your experience was anything less than all 5-stars. This is certainly a well-loved guest home as evidenced by the previous reviews. Maybe the weather didn't cooperate as you had hoped? Regardless, sorry your stay was anything short of wonderful.
