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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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, fantastic fishing. Boat pier is excellent.
Loved staying there. Property was excellent. Perfect for a fishing trip. Beds very comfortable and the living/dining area is nice and big. Wrap around deck is perfect. Ac and heating need balancing but that is a easy fix. A ice machine and corkscrew would be nice as well. Overall the house is clean and perfect for what I had originally planned. My only disappointment was the property company un willingness to work with me when unexpected circumstances prevented some in my party from traveling. I understand the insurance could be purchased at the time of booking but still refusing even to entertain changing dates to a empty slot later in the year seems stubborn and petty to me. Still I suppose your rules are your rules. As it turned out I had a great time with my 2 children instead. I would definitely look at the house again.

Very diry with the septic system, Owner never respond to message or call
I come here for the second time and the septic system still not fix. The first time i came here was in 2019 and the septic already problem, all the water out from the house will be go up under the house that bringing a lot of mosquitoes and the smell is very bad. We have couple kids, and all of them couldn't go outside from evening because a lot of mosquitoes. Last year we've already sent the email feedback to the owner about the septic problem and they said thank you and told us they will fixed, but this time it still here. This time we read the review before we try to come back, and we saw the owner reply review something about sea level. My question is, why all the neighbor house not have the septic problem because sea level, why is only the house have problem. This problem stay here for couple years and the owner never fix, they only blame to the sea level Second problem with this property is the owner never respond to guest or answer the call. Before we check in, we sent the email, message, and called them but couldn't get any answer except when the time closest to check in time and they send us the paper for sign, after that we sent them message but still not got any answer. When we in the house, we saw the kitchen sink faucet damaged, then we try to called them many time but they didn't respond. We took the picture and send them with message and email but not respond. We have to fixed it by ourselves, if not we couldn't stay. Before we left, we tried to call and contacted them but still not got respond, i don't know this is vrbo' problem or the owner, but the funny thing is after we came home, we received the email complaint about the faucet damage, and they blames us did it, and they charged for that. Before we came here, we hoped this is fun trip, but we got the horrible trip. Hope Vrbo can fix it or they can work with home owner, if not traveler will always get the fake information and lost their money
