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:

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).

Wonderful news, James, and we would love to have you and your family back again! Thank you for the compliments and being such a great group to host.
We had a wonderful stay at the Bluefin property in Freeport, TX. The home was clean, well-kept, and had everything we needed for a comfortable trip. The location was perfect—close to the beach and quiet enough to relax. The host was responsive and made check-in easy. We especially enjoyed the cozy atmosphere and all the little touches that made it feel welcoming. Overall, it was a great getaway spot, and we’d happily stay here again!

We're so glad you enjoyed your experience! Thank you for the compliments and being such lovely guests to host. We hope to host you again!
We all had a great time. The house was the perfect size for us and everyone enjoyed it. The only draw back where all the steps for all of us out of shape older people. Lol

Why thank you Tonya! We're delighted you had a great time at Bluefin, and the setup worked well for your group. And yes, the homes on stilts in this area can definitely give you a workout, an excuse skip the gym!
My family of 8 enjoyed our stay. After a storm on Christmas eve, there was no water. A community water and quickly responded with information and concern. Absolutely recommend stays at Bluefin.line broke but my hosts were so helpful,

And we loved hosting you and your family, Nancy! Thank you for the compliments, tips for future guests, and being such a wonderful set of folks to host. We hope you plan to return!
We just got back after a short stay at the Bluefin Beach House during Spring Break. The house is clean and as beautiful as advertised. Erin was a great host and things went so smoothly that I rarely had to reach out to her during our stay.
The house is a short walk to the beach which was perfect when we went fishing. You get a beautiful view of the beach from the top deck which is so relaxing. We won't hesitate to rebook this home for our next trip.
This house is amazing!! We had 10 in our group, 4 adults and 6 kids, plus a furry 4-legged ‘kid’. The layout of bedrooms is very good, as well as the layout of the home. The deck overlooks the ocean and you can catch some beautiful sunrises! The furniture outside is well maintained and clean. You also have access to the storage facility which is great to store your wagons, fishing gear and beach toys. There are also plenty of chairs and beach toys to borrow if you forgot anything. The kitchen is well stocked!! There was an amazing huge pot that I will be purchasing because it held enough to feed everyone. It also has a griddle, plenty of plates and cups, and kitchen gadgets. The fridge is well taken care of and because the home has a filter you can use the fridge ice and water. Be prepared for stairs!! Especially when hauling up and down! But your calves and quads look great after a week! The only small issue we had was taken care of within an hour of messaging. And someone from the management company came to the home themselves! Everyone is quick to respond and were so easy to work with. Would we definitely stay here again, and rent through 979 Rentals!

Thank you so much, Jennifer! We're thrilled to hear your group (including the furry family member!) had such a great stay and that the home worked so well for everyone. We love that you made use of the storage space, the stocked kitchen, and those gorgeous sunrise views! And yes—those stairs do provide a bit of a vacation workout! 😊 We truly appreciate your kind words and can’t wait to welcome you back to another 979 getaway!
Absolutely loved the house and split levels! Beautiful views from every level and room.
Amenities were perfect for what we needed to cook nightly and including the grill.
Quick response to ant questions or concerns we had.
We hope to return another year!
Our entire family had such a wonderful time on our vacation and largely due to the beach house. It was the perfect size and so comfortable and clean. The local was perfect as well. I will definitely recommend it to my family and friends and hope to return in the future. The communication with the owner was incredible. They were very quick to respond with questions we had. We give it a 5 star rating for sure!
Just a quick trip to relax & recharge. Very nice house. Enjoyed the beach & the views from the house. Quiet neighborhood. Clean beach. Pet friendly. No mosquitoes or seaweed over Spring Break. It’s a short walk to the beach but if you have beach stuff in tow and forgot your golf cart lol or wagon, you can drive & park in the parking spots on the next block over (Jolly Roger). It’s a nice location if you like quiet - there aren’t that many restaurants nearby so that may be something to consider if you like to eat out.
Great property … a block to a 10 mile beach … Galveston near enough … kitchen everything you need …. Spectacular 360 view … had a great stay would stay again
The house was very clean and new. It is 2 story with most bedrooms downstairs and the living/kitchen open plan with an extra bedroom upstairs. Nice porch to see and hear the waves. I like that the house is positioned so that all of the windows provide a view of the water.
It was a walk down the road to the beach which was slightly difficult when we went as a mountain of sand that was scraped was blocking access.
I would prefer that the home had softer beds but I am used to memory foam. Bring your own pillows as those provided are very small/flat.
Overall we had a great time and I recommend this lovely property.
Overall it was a very good trip. As mentioned in the listing, the beach was a brisk walk, 5 minutes away. Erin was in constant communication and took care of our minor issues very promptly. I would definitely revisit this property again. Thanks
