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:

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!

Our whole family looks forward to staying here every year! The house is always spotless and offers every amenity we need for a relaxing vacation. Seriously, they’ve thought of everything! The veranda is my absolute favorite place to sit and enjoy the breeze - love the new outdoor dining table! The location is great too - a family-friendly neighborhood, just a few steps from the beach. The fenced yard is perfect for pups. Team 979, I appreciate everything you do and thank you once again for your hospitality!

Wonderful stay, beautiful house
The house was in a very nice neighborhood with a great view of the surf. The house was very clean and stocked with higher end amenities. The house was very close to the beach which made for a wonderful run every morning.

Uber chic retreat!
Felt like a home away from home with contemporary furnishings and endless amenities! If the hubs and I didn't have our kids (two and four-legged kinds), we would've happily stayed in more. Lovely property!

Thank you for the great review Eileen! We appreciate you staying with us in Treasure Island and nothing makes us more happy than to have happy Guests like you.
For my hasband and friends the house was perfect. We really enjoyed the layout, as the interior was so cute! And the porch was perfect for enjoying the seabreeze and listening to waves crash on shore. It was also very clean and had everything you needed for a weekend getaway.

Comfortable, well appointed, great location and views!
This property was exactly what we were looking for to enjoy a beach weekend! The location is great with easy walking distance to the beach. The views from the deck are a must to enjoy the sunset. The house is modern, fresh and very well appointed. We are happy to have found Captain’s Quarters....we will be back!

The property did not just meet our expectations but far exceeded them. Everything was extremely clean, well maintained, and could not have been any better. The entire family enjoyed this property and location. This may well be our new yearly vacation destination!

We aim to over deliver! We're delighted to hear you thoroughly enjoyed your vacation experience at The Captain's Quarters! Thank you for the 5-stars, compliments and beings such wonderful guests to host. We do hope you return!
The house is super cute and the kitchen has everything you need for cooking. The gates are really perfect if you have pets too because you can block the patio or the yard. That worked really well for our pups! It’s a short walk from the beach and you can see the water from the hot tub!
This is the second time we've stayed in this property because we like it very much. Great neighborhood, It's walking distace to the beach, comfortable, fully equiped, tastefully decorated, well managed and maintained. The hot tub is fantastic with direct view to the sunset. We have just booked it again for a future visit. Just be aware that no beach equipment is provided. If you are staying more than 4 days, we recommend you bring extra trash bags and dish soap.

Thank you so much, Magaly! We’re honored to have you back and so glad to hear the home continues to be a favorite for your beach escapes. Your kind words mean the world to us—especially coming from a repeat guest!
We love that you’re enjoying the quiet Treasure Island neighborhood, the sunset views from the hot tub deck, and all the comforts of the home. And thank you for the thoughtful tips for future guests—super helpful!
We’re already looking forward to welcoming you again soon!
