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!

    House was clean and very well stocked. Beds were super comfortable and AC was perfect. We loved the beach views and patio’s. Although we did not use the hot tub solely because we never had time it was hot and clean and ready for use. We will definitely book again!

    A very nice house with an interesting and functional floorplan. Check-in was simple and required no extra step, just show up to the house and use the code.The kitchen was functional and nice that an assortment of spices and a few dry goods were available. One minor complaint is we could not find a baking sheet of pizza pan.The beach toys, chairs, etc. were good to have available.

    Great location & hot tub was an added plus. 2 fridges was perfect for storing all our drinks & food. Lots of seating & space for our family. This beach house was perfect for our annual Galveston visit. Thank you for sharing your home. We will be back!

    This was the first time we have tried renting a beach house and we were not disappointed. The house was beautiful, clean, and fulfilled every promise in the listing. we were steps from the beach and had an amazing time in an amazingly beautiful house. The property managers were amazing, very responsive. we plan on doing this again in the future and we will probably pick this house again. Thank you for an amazing time.

    Just as advertised. A (old) ladies get together to remember where we came from and why we still love it and each other. Home in great condition, any puddles you see on the deck are from the tension melting.

    We meet as a family every October to celebrate birthdays and to honor my dad’s memory. We had the best weather this past weekend. Our overall stay was good. The close access to the beach was the best part. The sunset and sunrise every morning and evening are simply beautiful! One of the AC units went out on our 2nd day and although the maintenance person arrived within the hour, it was not repairable. Unfortunately, it was quite uncomfortable in the living area and kitchen the rest of the day and the next morning during breakfast. It’s a beautiful home in a quiet area.

    Kids (4, ages 12 to 17) were rarely out of the ocean - boogie boarding on boards found at the house; father and son fishing was outstanding - baby hammerhead sharks the most exciting catch though returned to the water; we all enjoyed the evening return of the pelicans each night and watching them dive; sea shelling on the beach netted many hermit crabs (also returned to their watery home; a short walk at the wildlife sanctuary was a bird photo shoot as well as another opportunity for fishing; a visit to the NASA Space Center in Houston was a short drive for an interesting tour; and a final night at the amusement pier topped off the week. We enjoyed many home cooked meals on the grill as well a couple of dinners out. Truly a perfect family week!
