Direct Oceanfront, Sunrise & Sunset Decks!

Summary:
You'll be sure to enjoy the sea sounds and Gulf breezes from Annie by the Sea's multiple large decks at our newest coastal cottage, Annie by the Sea! This newer built unobstructed waterfront escape has a tons of windows and doors to allow you and your group to take in all the natural light and plentiful serene views. Beach vacations are not over-rated, and this location on Treasure Island is no exception!

The Space:
BED/BATH CONFIGURATION:
~ Large master suite with King bed, en suite bath and private deck (main floor)
~ Bunk room with Twin over Full bunk bed (main floor)
~ 3rd bedroom with King bed and shared hall bath with 4th bedroom (upper floor)
~ 4th bedroom with 2 x Twin over Full bunks and shared hall bath with 3rd bedroom (upper floor)

AMENITIES: outdoors - picnic table, charcoal grill, outdoor shower,; indoors: washer and dryer, complimentary Internet/WIFI, SmartTVs

Note: the long stretch of beach and main access point is in the neighborhood at the end of Jolly Roger and is enjoyable for all beach and water activities. The small beach area you see in front of the house is great for shelling, sunning, fishing and general beach activities, but the state of TX does not allow swimming.

The Neighborhood:
TREASURE ISLAND:
Stop by the nearby Blue Water Bar & Grill for lunch or utilize their convenience store 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 frothy surf, find unique shells and sand dollars, boogie board, shore & surf fish and build an evening bonfire while you listen to the waves under a sea of stars. Or if preferred, utilize the available launch for your boat or fishing pier on the bayside. So much to do so little time!

AREA:
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 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 friend on a clean beach with excellent fishing conveniently located between Galveston and Surfside Beach. It is close enough to take a day trip to Schlitterbahn, Moody Gardens, Pleasure Pier and The Strand, or grab lunch/dinner at the numerous waterfront restaurants including the Sugar Skull Rolling Cafe or Beach or Beach Front Deck Bar & Grill in Surfside.

NOTE: While there is a basic grocery/convenience mart (Blue Water RV Resort) within a mile and Seven Seas Grocery about 10 -15 min away, we do suggest, given this is on an island, you purchase your groceries ahead of time or at least plan to make a bit of a drive for most extensive purchases.

Great stay!
Located directly across from a little section of private beach, and fairly easy to get to the larger beach through the neighborhood. Great view, soft beds, fluffy towels, and everything you need for a group getaway. Property manager is very communicative left little extras for us. House is a little beat up, but no worse than what you would expect of a beach side rental. Looks like deck was recently extended so it is larger than what was shown in the photos.

Nice place, property needs a thorough cleaning
The place is nice, but it could use a thorough cleaning. We had a 1 year old in our group and he was crawling everywhere and his knees/feet were black from the floor. I realize the place is on the beach and expect the floors to be a bit dirty, but not on the first day. Furniture was also noticeably dirty and had rips on the couch. This is not a deal breaker, again just noticeable. Upstairs bathroom could use a little maintenance as one towel holder was just 'hanging' on to the wall and we just laid it on the sink. Fake door fronts on sink were also broken and fell off numerous times. Do not rely on the internet as it did not stay connected. We chose not to contact anyone about this as we didn't really need; however, it would have been nice so that we could connect to shows for the one year old. Beds were comfortable, set up was nice with 2 bedrooms on main floor and 2 on 2nd floor. There were enough bathrooms to accommodate all in our group (a definite plus). Towels were very plush and we had plenty for all of us and able to do laundry when/if needed. Mosquitos were horrendous and the size of Texas! Obviously not the fault of property, just wish we would have had some bug spray to enjoy the deck a bit more.

Beautiful and clean
We stayed for 5 nights. The property was clean and comfortable, with direct access to a beach for wading (signs posted advise against swimming there due to rip tides). A beach that is safe for swimming is a short two blocks away. The kitchen was fully stocked with dishes, cookware, and grilling tools. There are three bathrooms, but the downstairs bedroom’s attached bathroom has an odd tub/shower— you’ll have to sit down in the tub to use the shower due to the way it’s built. The property could use some minor maintenance; the coffee table is broken, stair treads are missing a cap, and the vinyl plank flooring has multiple gaps between planks that could pose a trip hazard. As noted by a different reviewer, the exterior could use a power wash. We were initially notified that the washer was broken and would be unavailable for our stay. After several text messages back and forth, the management company was able to secure a repair appointment for our second afternoon. The washer was fully functioning after that. Overall, despite the quirks described above, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would book again.

Perfect location
A private beach is right in front of the home, which is so convenient. House is clean and fully stocked, good communication by management. Would stay again. Only had two issues, neither of which was a dealbreaker. House is is need of a power wash and dishwasher doesn’t get power. Those were the only things stopping a straight 5 star review.

Perfect for large families
The house was accurately described on the rental site and was perfect for large families. It was clean, had plenty of rooms, a nice porch and direct beach access. It was great for the kids as well as adults. The weather was not cooperative but thankfully, the home was furnished with games, TV's and plenty of cooking utensils!

Quaint Beach Getaway
The house had everything we needed and an awesome front porch to sit and watch the tide come and go. The beach directly in front of the property was great for little ones, but there's also a bigger beach just a couple blocks drive or walk from the house. The community was quiet and friendly. Perfect place to get away and spend time with family.
