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!

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.

Great fishing spot
Great location for fishing. Kids had a blast fishing off dock at night and catching fish almost every cast. House is pretty basic and minimal. We cleaned the house very well when we left but did forget to take trash to dumpster. Property manager pulled up when we were pulling my boat out of water and my wife said he was rude to her about forgetting the trash. The house really should have outdoor trash cans. We rent in Galveston often and always make sure to try and leave the house in Excellent condition. I will not be renting through 979 again.

Just what we needed!!!
2 of my sons and away came down for a fishing trip. Place was perfect for us. House was clean, the place was nice and the spot was perfect! Didnt really need to communicate with anybody about the stay becasue everything was easy to set up and they pretty much answered any questions before i asked. Definitely coming back and bringing the wife.....maybe no the wife.

FAMILY FUN
We had some rough weather during our stay, but we still enjoyed our stay. We were able to do some finishing and everything was in working. Great location! Just one thing that should be addressed is what seems like raw sewage runoff that was on the right side driveway. We tried to keep away from it, but the smell was strong.

Love it here
We love staying here. It is so relaxing and the kids have non stop fun. I only have one tiny suggestion. It gets really wet and muddy in the driveway or the carport area. Also, the king size mattress is drooping a little and is a little hard. Your home is beautiful and we always enjoy our stay. Thank you for sharing with us.

Great place to fish.
Things I would expect for $530/night price (the per night price plus all the added fees and taxes). 1. TV that at least gets CBS ABC and NBC. Some of us are not tech savvy enough to "live stream" TV. 2. At least some ice cube trays so we can make cubes.

Nice Staycation at the Sea Trout
We're local but enjoy a weekend in Treasure Island every year. This was our first stay at the Sea Trout and probably not the last. Communication was great throughout the rental process. There was a nice welcome basket when we walked in. Kitchen was stocked with all appliances, kitchenware and all that we needed and were in good condition. It was organized and easy to find everything. Property was very clean and welcoming. Beds could use some updating but that was the only downfall. The kids made great use of the kayaks. There wasnt a ladder to the water to make it easy to get in them but we jumped onto the boat and got in the kayaks from there. The lights at night were great. Easy drive to Galveston.

Grandkids
Great place to stay for fishing and views. Been taking our 6 grandkids to the beach as a tradition each summer. Typically stay in canal homes which are nice and all the kids had caught their first fish there but this time tried the bay house. A lot better fish and variety here. Stayed 4 nights, one night was excellent fishing while the other three were not so hot, but still caught some fish. Kids caught 3 stingrays which they thought was really cool, one flounder and a lot of speckled trout. Caught limits of trout the first night but only 2 or so keepers each of other nights. Home is updated and good condition, no compliants. Thanks!

Disappointed
5th year in a row taking our grandkids for a summer trip just before school starts. Location is good for us and the view is great but the main reason we have come back year after year is to fish with the grandkids. First few years was great. This time none of the water/dock lights would work. Details states lights are “maintained” but not guaranteed. Breaker box is rusted to pieces, know it’s on the coast but that is not maintained. They do not work and if there are no lights there are very very few fish. You can watch the neighbors sit on their dock above their lights and watch them catch a lot of fish though :(. Septic still overflows and ponds on side of home (has been there each year, sometimes smells really bad), door combo works sporadically, we had to leave side door unlocked to make sure we could get back into the property. Previous years had to call and get key out of on-site lockbox. Sadly don’t think our tradition will continue here at this home, will look for a new place next year.

NOT BOAT FRIENDLY!
As boaters, we frequent Treasure Island. This was a miss for us and we will not be staying here again. For positives, the location is great, it's dog friendly, the beds were comfy, we enjoyed fishing off the dock, the evening lights worked fine, and we were able to catch a lot of stone crab (with my own personal trap). The boat slip is useless. There are no cleats anywhere on the dock. There isn't a boat lift. The top portion of the boat dock is not accessible. We were unfortunately hit with 70+mph winds around 6pm, the living room area somewhat flooded from the rain getting in through the low quality side door (I have video), and the house lost power for 15 hours. Neighboring homes also had their windows blown out. We live an hour away, so I decided to pack up our food (to not lose it all) and headed home for the night with my terrified child. My husband and our friend stayed back to try and get our half sunken boat out of the water (again, no boat lift or cleats). There was damage across the island. I contacted the property service the next day and made them aware of the condition of the house. They said many of their properties were damaged and I should have called earlier to see if they could place us at another property. We unfortunately checked out one day early to get the boat to the mechanic shop as soon as possible to assess any damage. I kindly asked for a refund for our final night, but they did not call me back after my initial call to them.

Mother's Day Trip for Mom and Sissy
The house overall is very clean, spacious, neat and has a beautiful view from within the house. There are a few items that need to be worked on: removal of the boat and trailer with trash/junk in it; the pier is in need of some much needed work (bench needs to be bolted back down, electrical outlet needs repairing, removal of electrical wires that are non-working, replacement of the stairs leading to the top deck on the pier). In addition, the bathroom showers need soap dishes to place soap in while taking a shower and the Keurig coffee pot needs to be replaced or repaired. Overall, we had a good time and we caught fish on Friday night, but there was a problem with the breaker box on Saturday night and we were unable to get the fishing lights on the pier to come on. So, we were unable to fish on Saturday night which was such a let down on our last night there. The neighbors were nice enough to allow my friend to fish on their pier and she cleaned up on Speckled Trout. We did not want to ask them to allow all of us to fish on their pier because they had a large number of people in their group. We made the management company aware of this problem and they have not responded appropriately yet. We are patiently waiting. Karen J. Missouri City

Do yourself a favor and don't rent this property until grading fixed
We showed up and were greeted by ankle deep water under the entire house (carport). Unloading was very difficult; sloshing through water and slime on the concrete (it gets worse).. The current defective grading allows rain water to stand underneath the house. Worse, it also floods the septic tank which is just next to the carport. We discovered we were actually sloshing through septic contaminated water as we unloaded two vehicles. Otherwise, the pier is great, but needs some upgrading. The house needs some basic items fixed, such as simple knobs on the cabinets in the kitchen (come on, how hard can that be to add?), better furnishings, and hjding wires running along walls.

SEPTIC BACKUP MUST BE FIXED
Upon arrival, the driveway has a puddle of SEPTIC WATER overflowing out of the Septic tank. Step out of your car and into a puddle of sewage! Every time you use the sink, shower or toilets, the puddle gets larger. This needs to be fixed now. It was a problem last year and now it is much worse. I will not rent here again unless they fix this issue.
