It was perfect. Just 3 miles from the beach. The house was adorable. The owner was extremely responsive. We didn’t realize how far away the grocery stores were So you’re gonna want to stock up before you get to the house. Other than that, the only other critical feedback would be that the kitchen was pretty sparse and when I went to make pancakes I had to use a pot for a mixing bowl. The mosquitoes are real – bring lots of hugs spray

This is our 2nd time staying in the Point West neighborhood-first time at this house. Alan was very informative pre-stay, and easy to get a hold of before/during stay. The house itself is lovely and clean. The kids loved being right next to the beach and the house had just about everything we could’ve wanted/needed.

The Green Gull is a nice property within easy walking distance of the beach. It is tastefully furnished and the sunsets from the upper deck are spectacular. Alan is an excellent host as is extremely informative about his property and the surrounding area. The built-in gate for the stairs was a big plus for the safety of our young grandkids. We will definitely consider renting from Alan again!

We loved our stay. The house was perfect = room for 4 adults and 2 children - and bathrooms to support all. Close to the beach. Al contacted us with the check in details and then again letting us know of a possible traffic delay on 45 suggesting a different way to go.... We all agreed we want to come back .

This property is perfectly located for visiting the beach. You can walk the boardwalk or drive back 1/2 mile to be right on the beach without a walk. The house has everything you need! And the bed are fantastic! Great rest and relaxation. We cooked every meal and had everything we needed. Thanks, Alan, for sharing your space in Pointe West.

Super comfy beds and plenty of space for a party of 8. Close to beach and a short drive to the club house and pool. Baby equipment (gate, playpen) was a plus for our group. Plenty of towels, toiletries, and some bonus beach toys. Just a few caveats: Would not recommend planning to walk to the club house -- it was definitely further than the 0.3 miles indicated. Closer to 1 mile. Cooking and cleaning supplies were adequate but definitely not impressive. Would be good for a small group, but was difficult to cook for 8+. For example, we planned to bake cookies and found only a half-sized baking sheet and one 8 inch baking pan. There were a few spices but limited baking supplies (no flour, cinnamon, vanilla) Deck and deck furniture could use some updates. Found some exposed nails on the deck, plus there is a loose railing on the main stairs to the property.

The house is beautifully furnished with nice touches and knick-knacks, like pictures of beach chairs and beach scenes. The upstairs is nicely furnished with a large dining table and 8 comfy chairs, the sofa and chairs in the tv area are nice also. WiFi worked as promised (except each night, it seemed like there was a huge slow-down, probably because every home in the area was watching TV). The bedroom was also very nice, and 3 full bath for each bedroom was MUCH appreciated. All towels and soaps were provided. The beds were comfortable. The A/C worked pretty well considering it was in the 90's each day. Good location to the beach. Hair dryer in the bathrooms, just too many nice things to mention. I recommend.

My husband and I and our two kids (5 and 4 years) stayed recently and had a blast. The house was very clean and more than enough space for the 4 of us. The beach was a short walk from the house and very easy to access for daily beach trips. Our kids are already asking to go back. We will definitely visit again!

Great Fun

Great Fun

We enjoyed the location of the beach house just a short walk to the beach plus there was a public road that you could drive your things to the walk over bridge savings some steps. The beach house was really nice, very clean and had great amenities. Loved the balconies to watch fireworks or just to enjoy the evening after a fun day at the beach. There are a lot of stairs because it is two levels, but we felt it added to our exercise for the week. The beach was awesome. It was not crowded, clean, wide and you could take a nice long walk. Pointe West is away from the busy part of Galveston but close enough if you want to spend some time in the heart of things. We will be staying here again!

My family and I take an annual trip to Galveston for the Easter weekend. We have stayed in several homes, but this one was by far the best one we have stayed at. Location was fantastic and easy to find. Super close to the beach and great views. Loved that it has space for three kids, my mom, my husband and me. We eat every meal on the outdoor balcony and it also made a great place for just some peace and quiet. Loved our stay and will definitely recommend and stay again. Owner was great to communicate with and overall just a wonderful experience.

Spring Break Getaway w/ a twist

Spring Break Getaway w/ a twist

We had stayed as a family of 4 before in Galveston at different locations. This was our first time on the southern tip and we planned that because of spring break. Our two boys are 10 & 14 and we weren't interested in the spring break crowd. This location definitely served that goal. The twist came in bringing our exchange student from Taiwan who had never been to a US beach. So, we introduced him to the Texas Riviera! :*) The home was very nice and my youngest who loves to fish caught his largest fish every in the pond in back! What a great way to start our vacation. The layout is very efficient and the decks are wonderful. As with most multi-floor units, the bedrooms are on a separate floor from the kitchen/dining/living room which is not ideal for those that have trouble going up and down steps. Many of the sundries that we've worried about at other rentals (e.g. handsoap, shampoo/bar soap, towels) were nicely supplied. The only thing we had to purchase while there was a cookie sheet for cooking chicken nuggets in the oven. All-in-all a very nice location that we will definitely rent again in the future if it's available.

We wanted a place where our family - two adults and two kids - could enjoy the beach and have access to amenities such as the pools at Pointe West (for a nominal fee). This house was the perfect spot for us. It was very clean, plenty of room, and lots of great extras like the grill, beach toys, picnic table, hammocks and other outdoor furniture. Homeowner very helpful and responsive. We would definitely stay here again.

Very nice home, close to the beach . Plenty room for 6 adults & 3 children. Layout is a little odd with the living room & kitchen on the top floor, but does make for more privacy in the bedrooms. All in all I would rent again. One thing the trash cans on the patio smelled so bad we had to move them to enjoy sitting outside, they need a good cleaning.

Family Getaway in Galveston

Family Getaway in Galveston

We really enjoyed the location to the beach. It was easy to walk to from the property. The home was very comfortable for our family of 4 adults and 3 kids. Loved that the stairs had a children's gate at the top and a highchair. Loved the outdoor shower and hose to wash off all sand after a day at the beach. Make sure and get your groceries before you get there since it's at least 17 min. back on the island to Krogers or Walmart. But we loved being out of the way of the hustle and bustle of Galveston to just be still. Alan was great to let us know about that ahead of time. We will definitely come back!

The property was so nice! Perfect for our 3 day vacation. I wish there was a bathroom downstairs on the first level, but other than that i have no complaints!! It was so nice for everyone to have their own full bathroom in each room and a bonus bathroom upstairs. We definitely felt the stair climbing in our calves but it was well worth it!! I can’t wait to book our next trip here. Customer service was above and beyond, answering last minute questions and making the whole trip seamless. 5 stars for sure
