About this apartment rental

Pointe West is a stunning resort on the west end of Galveston Island. The resort boosts a heated lazy river pool with a large fire pit and charcoal grill on the bay side where you can bring your own food and drinks. A 6 minute walk from the condo will take you to the beach club on the ocean side where you will find a private restaurant, large pool ,hot tub, gym, game room with pool table, and bike rentals. You could rent a bike there and head back to the bay side to explore the many bird trails or pedal along the water's edge. There is an unobstructed view of the bird estuary from the living room balcony. The condo has been recently renovated with vinyl plank flooring and upscale furnishings. The master bedroom has a private balcony with a water view and an ensuite bath with walk in shower. Beach themed decor and a large balcony off living/dining room with comfortable seating for dining or enjoying the tranquil water views and amazing sunsets. We provide everything you need to make your vacation fun and relaxing. Fully equipped kitchen with even a waffle maker and indoor/outdoor electric grill, linens, towels, beach towels, beach toys including four large inner tubes for the lazy river pool. Full sized washer and dryer. Free wi-fi and one assigned garage parking stall. You can kayak or paddle board right outside the front door and rentals can be arranged. There is a charcoal grill next to the condo and an outdoor fire pit is steps away for making s'mores and watching the sunsets. No sounds of traffic here - only the swaying palms and gentle breeze from the bay at Buddy's Baywater Villa.

We enjoyed our stay at Buddy's! It was more spacious than what I imagined for us (6 adults, 1 toddler) and the location was great. Far enough to relax but not too far of a drive to explore the rest of Galveston! Sunsets were beautiful during our stay! Would definitely recommend!

Clean and everything you need to relax at the beach. It is a nice property that worked well for my family of five and the family dog. The pools were nice, and it was a bit of a walk to the beach. But once at the beach, there is a nice uncrowded family beach to enjoy.

My husband and I are retired military and live in Atlanta. Our youngest son, wife and Twin three year old sons live near Houston. We were thrilled to spend time with them at the beach. The condo was so nice. The view of the bay was beautiful. The beach and Lazy pool were a hit for the twins. The whole experience was delightful.

Fabulous weekend; lots of wonderful memories; “icing on the cake” was the beautiful condo and Pointe West facility! Oh! Beach was awesome! It wasn’t the white sandy beach or clear water of Florida but it was one of the highlights of the trip! Thanks to Gayle, the owner, for the opportunity to have this special celebration in a special environment!

Fabulous 4th weekend

This condo is beautiful inside with awesome views of the bay and sunsets from the patio. We loved going to the Beach Club and being able to enter the private beach from the club. The lazy River pool was also great in the evenings and had an awesome place to BBQ. The owner, Gayle met us when we arrived to make sure everything was in working order and answer any questions. Can’t say enough about her hospitality😎

The property was great! We had a multi generational family vacation and everyone had a great time. There was plenty of everything and the resort was very family friendly. We rented a golf cart to go from the condo to the beach and to the two pools. There was plenty of easy parking and Gayle was very easy to talk to and gave us lots of useful information! She even had a smore kit set up for my kiddos! We would go back and would highly recommend to anyone else!

We had a great 5 night stay at this property with our family of 4. We slept very comfortably and enjoyed the fully furnished condo. Gayle was quick to respond to all my questions before we traveled to the condo and once we arrived. The condo is close to the fire pit where we made s’mores. Also close to a charcoal grill. The condo gives you access to lots of floats and noodles for the pool, a cooler, and some other games that would be fun to play with the family. Highly recommend this property if you are looking at a Bayview property!

Great location, but lacking in cleanliness and comfort

Great location, but lacking in cleanliness and comfort

This condo has a great layout, spacious balcony, and beautiful sunset views. However, the condo itself was not very clean. The dishes and silverware in the cabinets and drawers were not cleaned and had food remains so we had to wash everything before we used it. The ice and water dispenser has black mold build up. There were splashes of who knows what on doors, walls, light switches, and seat cushions. I had to Clorox wipe down all the light switches, door knobs, and faucets upon check in. The listing states "upscale furnishings" and "comfortable seating", but the furniture is very dated and uncomfortable. The coffee table in living room has been put back together with white caulk. The king bed in master bedroom is old, sunken, hard, and worn down springs. When I booked, I thought I was paid in full for our 6 night rental, but was contacted by the owner that I had to pay an additional 9% of total for the Galveston hospitality tax. She was very impatient about our payment including having HomeAway bill us for a higher amount and threatening to not give us access to the rental. Good news is she has since updated her listing regarding this additional fee for future renters. The listing also states "Check in and check out with no person-to-person contact" which was important to us as our reservation was during Covid-19. However, we had to wait for Gayle to meet us at the unit for her to let us in and give us a tour. Some may think this is a nice touch, but we felt like she was checking us out and we had to ask her to wear a mask which she only covered her mouth. We did enjoy Pointe West Resort which was a great vacation getaway. Beautiful and uncrowded beaches, easy bay access, nice pools, and decent restaurant.
