The Neighborhood:
TREASURE ISLAND:
Stop by the neighborhood food trucks for lunch or utilize one of the nearby convenience stores 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.

Getting Around:
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 mins from Surfside and across the bridge from Galveston's west end and only about 25-30 mins to the heart of Galveston Island's activities. Most people come to the area to spend quality 'non-commercialized" the with family, extended family, and friends!

Need to replace A/C system
The A/C does not work properly. Checked in at 4pm turned thermostat down, by 9 pm it was still a 78*. Contacted property manger and to their credit they did send out a repair man. He somewhat patched it back together to get us through the next few days. It was bearable but not pleasant. There is a de-humidifier in the living room that had to be emptied every 4 hours or it would go in to auto shut down. There was condensation leaking out of the supply air vents onto the kitchen table. In short the whole A/C needs to be replaced. There are also electrical issues plugs and lights out in various rooms. Check the breakers, no trips. No switch covers / exposed wires on exterior. A 4x4 pickup will not fit under the house. This is an older property so the piers are not as high as other houses. Not the property managers issue however it should be noted on description. We only had my truck, I was able to parallel park in the drive way. The place needs to be sprayed for roaches. Lastly not exactly sure what was going on at the permanent residents two houses down. Very shady activity.

Nice Getaway
Stayed over the memorial day weekend + a few days. We found the location to be perfect in that it was close enough if you wanted to venture out yet still not overcrowded. Even on the holiday weekend, the short walk to the beach was pleasant and the beach was not chaotic busy. The property was very comfortable for three full time adults and a couple visitor's. Lounging on the deck watching the tides was rejuvenating. Thanks for having us.

Great Neighborhood and SO CLOSE to the Water!
Overall, it was great! The house felt a bit older to me than the pictures depicted, but that is expected with a house so close to the water. The AC did not work as well as we had hoped, so it felt like the sheets were wet all night. I felt very safe in that neighborhood. The food trucks across the highway were absolutely amazing!! I would definitely stay there again. If you are afraid of large crashing waves coming close to the house, then stay somewhere else LOL

Impromptu stay
Thought we were getting a quiet beach neighborhood. I know homeowners not responsible but there was dump trucks and grading for over 12 hours Saturday. Lots of traffic and it was dead end street without the beach access, so I am not sure why so much traffic. House was dirty. It has ants. We didn’t have water for almost 2 hours when we got there only reason we knew was plumber was there. Husband had to turn the water back on. Only had 1 flat baking pan. Every dish I pulled out of cabinet was dirty. The broom they left needed to be thrown away. I had to wipe kitchen cabinets and stove off they were gross.

This home was so clean with all the accommodations available. The view were spectacular. It was a short walk to go the beachy area but you could stay by the rocks as well. I would definitely stay here again.

It was a little slice of Heaven for us, even with the wind keeping us inside. I love that the water was right in front of the house. At times, I could feel the spray off the rocks that lined the pavement.

Best month
My husband and I stayed for the month of January I worked remotely and never had issues with wifi. The house was perfect for the two of us and our dog duke who loved to sit out on the deck all day and night. Enjoyed many sunrises and a few big storms. Bring a blanket if you come in January as there are no extras. There are plenty of pillows though I think I counted 15. The neighborhood was pretty quiet this time of year we walked to the beach many of times to look for shells and we had it to ourselves. Tv worked great for rainy days and my husband is a vet so when we drove into Galveston we did not have to pay the $2 bridge fee that probably saved us $70 bucks since we were there for so long. Nearest big grocery store was 25 minutes away. All appliances worked great only problem was the right side of kitchen the electrical would trip so we had to move the coffee pot to the other side of kitchen. Beds were very cozy. Great relaxing get away.

Noise Noise Noise ... and more Noise!
Arrived and had a peaceful arrival. Had some issues with house but willing to overlook due to ocean view. Then neighbors who I believe own the property to the right arrived. Music way loud! Bedroom window next to the house and Thump Thump Thump way into 6am the next day. I called at 2am to complaint but no one answered. Huge bags under our eyes the next morning. Peaceful morning. Why? Well, because they were asleep. Evening came, Thump Thump Thump Thump. Property manager spoke to them but the low frequencies of the bass in the music was still reaching our room. Horrible first three days! Seems owners left after that. The answer I later received was this was typical weekend music and not much can be done. If you are going for a peaceful time to rest your soul, don't go to this place on the weekends. Go on a Monday thru Thursday or you may regret it.

Great location on the Gulf Of Mexico, but with some exceptions.
Booking process was smooth and the place was easy to find. It was great to chill on the deck looking out into the Gulf of Mexico. However, the amount of humidity inside the house made everything damp and musty. There is a significant gap in the door that allows the warm air from outside into the house with the air on causing high humidity. This would explain the amount of rust inside the house. The water pressure for the shower wasn’t great, but not terrible. With some maintenance and the entire entry to the house replaced, it could be much better.

Perfect
The location and views are amazing, and it’s a cute quiet little neighborhood. Everything was clean, and check in/out was so easy with the door code. The neighbors were friendly. Everyone waved. The only problem was that our truck was too tall to fit under the house, and the extended cab was too long to fit in front of the house. We had to get creative with our parking and careful not to hit our heads on the rusted beams. We would 100 percent stay here again, though. Thank you!

Perfect COVID Getaway
We are high risk for Covid & was looking for a getaway that could be contactless. This was. And so relaxing. Loved the sound of the waves. We didn't think the patio furniture looked comfortable but it was. Unlike many rentals we felt the furnishings were high quality. Including the stocking of the kitchen. Any small needs we had were quickly handled.
