The Watchtower at the Pass - Panoramic Gulf & Bridge Views
About the Home
NEW ADDITION! Perched like a front-row seat to the ever-changing coastline, this Treasure Island beach getaway is all about the views. From sunrise over the Gulf to boats drifting through San Luis Pass and the bridge stretching across the horizon, this home delivers a constant, cinematic backdrop. Inside, sunlight pours through walls of windows, wrapping every space in that easy, breezy coastal glow. With 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and a relaxed-yet-refined beach aesthetic, it’s the kind of place where mornings start with coffee and pelicans, and evenings end with sky-painted sunsets you won’t quite believe. The living area is designed for gathering, with comfortable seating and a laid-back coastal palette that keeps things fresh without trying too hard. The kitchen flows easily into the space, making it perfect for slow breakfasts, snack runs between beach trips, or sunset dinners with a view that does most of the talking. BED/BATH CONFIGURATION: (sleeps up to 11) ~ Spacious primary suite with King bed and en suite bath (sleeps 2) ~ 2nd bedroom with Full daybed and Twin trundle with sink in bedroom & water closet (sleeps 3) ~ 3rd bedroom with 2 x Twin over Full bunks with sink in bedroom and shared Jack n Jill bath with 2nd bedroom plus powder room bath as well (sleeps 6) AMENITIES: outdoors - propane/gas grill, outdoor shower, outdoor furniture; indoors: AC, huge beautifully-appointed kitchen, all major appliances, coastal furnishings, WIFI, outdoor security cameras Step outside and the “watchtower” name really earns its keep. Whether you’re scanning the water, catching the breeze off the Pass, or watching the bridge light up at dusk, this home turns even doing nothing into an experience. **New home being built next door. Mar 2026 Note: the long stretch of beach and main access point is in the neighborhood at the end of Buccaneer 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. 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! HOSTED BY THE 979 CREW ADVANTAGE: The 979 Crew is comprised of island locals who are passionate about making sure the home you chose is nothing short of clean, comfortable, and ready for your group's fun! 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! 🐾 PUP-FRIENDLY: Bring Fido(s)! We welcome your furry friends (aka family members). Up to 2 well-behaved dogs are allowed at this home, subject to approval and a non-refundable pet fee of $100 per dog per stay. WIFI/TV SERVICE: Our properties include WIFI/Internet and TV service for your streaming services. Due to our location (Island living is a whole other way of life), service may be unpredictable or spotty, and repair times can be delayed. While we will do everything we can to ensure these items are in good working order before your arrival, please note, these services may not be as consistent as they are in your area. So grab your favorite people, ditch the electronics, and spend the day at our beautiful beaches! 979 VACATION PROPERTY SERVICES: All 979 rental home follow local and state tax rules.
