The condo was super clean and the view was excellent! My family really enjoyed the pools and the quick walk to the beach. This would definitely be a condo my family would stay at again!

Our stay was about being with old friends so all was perfect. We always love to watch movies, so we delighted with the selection of DVD’s available. BUT the DVD player had a DVD stuck in it and would not work. It needs to be replaced. Also some tiny flying bug was always around in kitchen area. Perhaps extermination is necessary.

6.0 / 10.0
The property was fine. Clean and as pictured. The location is beautiful but far away from everything. Don’t plan on using door dash or anything like that. Walmart is 27 mins away so as long as you plan for that and to cook all your meals, you will be fine.
The resort has no marketplace or open restaurants. You pay $25 per person to use the amenities such as the pool, game room and fitness center but the pool was closed down 3 out of 4 days of our stay with no water. Use of the game room should be included but it’s an additional $5 to use each time. ($25 cc payment with $20 refund after returning equipment.)
The elevators were not working so we had to carry our luggage and everything up and down the stairs.
It was jelly fish season so we could not enjoy the beach. This should have been addressed prior as it happens every year but coming from Georgia, we were not aware. The Man O war jellyfish were beautiful to look at, but they are dangerous.
Over all the property was fine but I would have like to know about these issues prior to booking and I would like a refund on the amenities charge since we were not able to use those either for more than 4 hours.

We had a great time staying at "License 2 Chill." Property is clean, well-appointed, and has amazing unobstructed views of water. Location is close to beach walkover and basketball court. We enjoyed the amenities that Pointe West has to offer, including both pools and gift shop. Would definitely return to this property again in the future.
10.0 / 10.0
All aspects were as advertised or better! We scoured location for future trip with Grandkids and found everything we hoped for. Quiet and secluded area. Great for being away from the Seawall bars and restraints. Can still get there when we want to. Plenty of amenities and the sunrise view was magic.

Great beach rental
I have stayed at this property several years ago. I love the new updates!!! Furniture is so nice and comfortable, new paint, new bedding, lots of extras in the kitchen. I stay at Pointe West every summer and have been in many of the rentals. This one is definitely at the top of the list 🥰

Overall Good
The decor is stylish and comfortable. There were some basic supplies that were lacking though - 4 wine glasses, 1 roll of paper towels, 2 rolls of toliet paper and 6 towels for a 3 bedroom condo that sleeps 8 is just insufficient.

Great Stay
Had a great stay at this condo, had everything we needed, nicely decorated and comfortable. Nice views of the beach and surrounding area. A little too windy to take advantage of the nice balcony but that's the chance you take in the spring.

Wonderful beach condo
The property looks just like the pictures. It was stunning. We bought food because the reviews said that it wasn’t near any restaurants and this was accurate which didn’t bother us because it was so peaceful. We were a little disappointed to find out the bar and restaurant didn’t open till a week after we left. Nowhere did it say this till after we booked. This is the only reason we didn’t leave 5 stars. Other then that we loved it.

Loved this condo!
Our group had 4 adults and 2 kids. This property was great- very clean and comfortable. Awesome huge deck on the back with great ocean views and a large dining table plus seating area. King beds in both bedrooms, plus bunk beds in the kids' room was perfect. Kitchen was well stocked. There was some confusion over whether the kitchen had a Keurig or not, and I was actually told by the Pointe West property manager that this condo didn't have one. But when we got there, it did. So drip coffee or K cups- take your pick! It was about a 1/4 mile walk from the condo to get to the actual beach (along a paved sidewalk and then a bridge). The condo is also far from the community pool which meant there was no extra noise. We loved it and will be back!

Phenomenal view and location
This was an absolute pleasure. We had a blast and truly were able to relax and enjoy our time on the beach. The hosts were great and very responsive.
My only note is that the elevator was down for 2 days. I had elderly family members that were limited in what we could do.
But otherwise, this was a fantastic stay!

Long Mother’s Day wet
We go to Galveston every year. This was one of our favorite times. The property was very far down the island, almost to San Luis pass, but being that far away from the city was wonderful. We spent most of our time on the balcony listening to the waves and relaxing. It’s a 30 to 40 minute drive to most of the restaurants, so we went grocery shopping and did some cooking. It was so relaxing, we hated to leave to come back to daily work. We definitely will rent this place again!

Great place!
Loved the large balcony...comfy furnishings and beds...and most of all our Ocean view! Nicely equipped kitchen made us feel right at home. We also liked that we had the outdoor storage area to keep our beach toys. We will be staying here annually!

Great stay!
We went on vacation for the first time with friends. We both have small children, 3 total ages 4 & 3. The condo was great. A really great location, a fabulous balcony, and the perfect size. The fact that it had 2 king bedrooms was a huge plus so both sets of parents had a king bed. One thing to mention is that they do NOT have a Keurig, even though the email mentions bringing your own coffee or K-cups. We had to go buy coffee since we only brought K-cups. The elevators worked until the power went out the evening of the last day due to a transformer blowing - not something controllable.

We think the property was beautiful. Was disappointed with the distance from the pool and beach access. It looked much closer on the web. However, overall the place was wonderful.

Great Location and amenities, clean, responsive host!
Great location-Ocean Front. Many condos are described as Ocean Front but "License 2 Chill" had the BEST VIEW. Family enjoyed the amenities at Pointe West - POOL, HOT TUB and GYM. The condo was very CLEAN and the host was very RESPONSIVE to our questions. We will book again.

Great beach vaca
This condo is perfect and location is unbeatable. We love this end of the island with the nicer sand and more peaceful stay. The wagon and a place to put the sand toys, etc downstairs was a big plus too. Only one negative was the elevator hadn’t been working for awhile. But we had an amazing time

Just what we needed
This property met our needs perfectly. Kitchen has everything you might need. It is a good 23 miles from Galveston which is about 40 minutes, but once you get there, it’s nice to be that far out. while it was winter with very low occupancy, be aware that the unit is located right beside the beach club and pool. Like the patio can be seen and heard from the pool area. Didn’t bother us because no one was at the pool, but we would not enjoy this proximity during the busy season. The view from the patio is wonderful and access to the beach within steps. The unit was comfortable and as described. Communication was also very good.

Great unit —Relaxing
Pre Thanksgiving trip to get away. Enjoyed the unit. Well appointed with comfortable beds and furniture. Loved that it had 2 king beds! Only thing I would suggest is changing the shades on the afternoon sun side in the living area. Sun gets very bright in the living area and that side of the patio. Might be good to have an outdoor curtain as well? Otherwise unit was great, loved the porch and easy walk down to the beach.

cozy beach condo
The property was comfortable with a nice deck facing the gulf.
It's a little more worn than the pictures, but still comfortable for a family vacation.

Nicely decorated condo with a lovely view of the beach. The kitchen had everything we needed, and the downstairs locker had beach chairs and a wagon (a nice, unexpected perk!). We had a party of 8, and there was plenty of room for all of us in the spacious accommodations. We hope to return!

We love Pointe West!
This is such a great location to vacation. The beach is beautiful and clean. The condo is spacious and accommodating for our 2 families, 3 kiddos and one infant. It is the furthest walk to the pool which we didn’t like as much and the walkways to the beach didn’t have ramps for our beach carts and strollers but it was still doable and totally worth it anyway!

Quaint and cute condo
We had two small families with young children. The condo is in the building furthest from the clubhouse which is just a short ride away via car or golf cart. It was well decorated and comfy. The kids loved the bedroom with the bunk beds. The condo itself was very clean and had everything we needed. We stayed a very short time so didn’t cook much. We did use the outdoor grill on the patio which was very convenient (the mosquitos were out in the grassy areas). The locker in the parking garage was full of great items to use at the beach. Overall, it was very quiet and not crowded on the beach. Parking was not a problem near the condo (if you need to park a second vehicle). We would definitely stay again.

The property was amazing and in good shape! It was clean and close to the beach. The only downside was the poor WiFi, lol. My kids tried to watch Netflix at night on the TV and it wouldn’t work.

The view is so lovely - its a great tonic to wake up and see it in the mornings, sit on the deck with a coffee and soak it all in.

Nice condo, mediocre management
The condo was a little smaller than we expected, but it was clean and had everything we needed. It was frustrating that they only supplied 1 roll of toilet paper per bathroom and a couple dishwashing pods. The location is not ideal unless you are looking for a very quiet spot. It was about 20 minutes from the main seawall area where the stores and restaurants are. It is part of the Beach club, which is a plus, unless the amenities are not available, which is what happened to us and why this review is negative. We knew that the pools were not heated, which I had to call and ask about since it was not listed anywhere. The bigger issue was that we were told there was a hot tub, which was true and a gameroom, which was a BIG factor in our choice since we had teens and were there off-season, which was closed. We were never told that the gameroom would be closed even in my conversation about the amenities. The management made excuses saying that the person I emailed with from their office was just a secretary and wouldn't know that information. Then why were they answering questions regarding the property? It was disappointing that there wasn't a way to communicate with the owner personally since the management company is clearly not doing their job. They also did not want to do anything to make it right either. I have used VRBO a few times in the past and have always had contact with owners and have had NO problems. My advice is renter beware and be sure to ask every question you have to someone who can assure you they know the answer. We definitely learned our lesson.
