DESTIN, FL, UNITED STATES, January 6, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Emerald Coast By Owner (ECBYO.COM), a leading Vacation Rental by Owner marketplace specializing in Gulf Coast Vacation Rentals, proudly announces its official expansion into the Texas Gulf Coast vacation rental market. This milestone marks a major step in the company’s continued growth across the Gulf Coast, now giving travelers a powerful alternative for booking Texas Gulf Coast Rentals without paying guest service fees.
With this expansion, ECBYO introduces a growing selection of Texas vacation rentals, including condos in the popular Seascape Condos, Galveston complex and numerous private vacation homes in South Padre Island. Guests can now book directly with owners through ECBYO’s modern website, enjoying a fast, transparent booking experience designed to save money and simplify vacation planning.
A New Era for Texas Gulf Coast Rentals
Texas has long been a favorite destination for families, couples, and beachgoers seeking spacious beaches, warm Gulf waters, and laid-back coastal charm. Until now, many travelers booking along the Texas coast faced high service fees added by large online travel agencies. ECBYO’s expansion into Texas changes that experience.
By offering direct online booking with no ECBYO guest service fees, travelers planning a Texas vacation can keep more of their budget for what matters most—accommodations, dining, entertainment, and unforgettable experiences along the coast.
This expansion reinforces ECBYO’s commitment to providing a guest-first booking platform while empowering property owners to maintain control over their listings, pricing, and guest relationships.
Seascape Condos Galveston: A Premier Gulf Coast Location
One of the highlights of ECBYO’s Texas launch is its growing inventory at Seascape Condos, Galveston. Located just steps from the beach, Seascape Condos are among the most popular vacation rentals on Galveston Island, offering a resort-style atmosphere paired with the comforts of home.
Guests booking Seascape Condos through ECBYO can enjoy:
Beachfront and beach-view condo options
Resort-style pool and hot tub amenities
Easy access to Galveston’s beaches
Proximity to local dining, attractions, and entertainment
Galveston has long been one of Texas’s most visited coastal destinations, known for its historic charm, family-friendly attractions, and vibrant beachfront. Seascape Condos provide an ideal home base for visitors exploring the island’s beaches, Pleasure Pier, Moody Gardens, and the historic Strand District.
By booking Seascape Condos, Galveston through ECBYO, guests gain direct access to owners while avoiding the added service fees that often inflate the cost of a Texas beach vacation.
South Padre Island: Private Vacation Homes for Families and Groups
In addition to Galveston, ECBYO now features a strong presence in South Padre Island, one of the most sought-after beach destinations in Texas. Known for its wide sandy beaches, warm Gulf waters, and relaxed island atmosphere, South Padre Island is especially popular with families, snowbirds, and extended-stay travelers.
ECBYO’s South Padre Island inventory includes many private vacation rental homes, offering guests more space, privacy, and flexibility compared to traditional hotel stays. These homes are ideal for:
Family beach vacations
Multi-generational trips
Group getaways
Seasonal and long-term stays
Vacation rental homes in South Padre Island allow guests to enjoy full kitchens, multiple bedrooms, private outdoor spaces, and the convenience of a true home-away-from-home experience. Booking directly through ECBYO ensures transparent pricing and direct communication with owners, creating a smoother and more personal stay.
Fee-Free Booking: A Better Way to Vacation in Texas
A key advantage of ECBYO’s platform is its no guest service fee model. Unlike many large booking sites that add significant percentage-based fees at checkout, ECBYO does not charge travelers a service fee to book.
For Texas Gulf Coast vacations, this means:
Lower total booking costs
Clear, upfront pricing
No surprise fees at checkout
Better overall value for guests
This approach is especially important for family vacations, where service fees can quickly add hundreds of dollars to the total cost. ECBYO’s transparent model helps make Texas beach vacations more accessible and affordable for travelers from across the country.
From the Emerald Coast to the Texas Coast
Founded in 2016, Emerald Coast By Owner has grown from a small regional idea into a trusted marketplace serving the entire Gulf Coast. What began along Florida’s Emerald Coast has expanded steadily to include destinations across:
Florida’s Gulf Coast and the Florida Keys
Alabama’s beach communities

Louisiana’s waterfront destinations
Now, the Texas Gulf Coast vacation rental market
This expansion into Texas represents another major milestone in ECBYO’s mission to cover all major Gulf Coast destinations under one trusted, fee-free booking platform. Travelers familiar with ECBYO in Florida and Alabama can now enjoy the same booking philosophy and user experience when planning a Texas vacation.
