About this house rental
Life’s a beach—at least, it should be! We designed our home to be a cool, tranquil space where you can reconnect with friends and family members on the Gulf Coast. We have a total of four balconies, each with plenty of seating and amazing water views.
Whimsical touches, like barstools sitting atop giant springs or rare driftwood hanging on wall, paired with natural materials help create the perfect “at-the-beach” vibe without the kitsch.
WHAT'S COOKING?
Everything from post-beach lunch for the little ones and locally sourced ceviche are a snap to prep in our gourmet kitchen. Two can sit at the bar and eight can dine at the table (use the available bench to seat even more). Or head out to the balcony for an al fresco feast.
GAME TIME
Two chaise lounge sectional sofas in the living room means everyone can find a seat for a beach-movie marathon. Or spread out to watch your favorite shows—there are five flat screen TVs in the house plus all with 140 plus channels.
Pull out the board games, or gather around the karaoke machine and introduce your kids to your favorite eighties hair bands. They might not appreciate your vocals, but they’ll love learning how to head bang.
DREAM A LITTLE DREAM
One of the most underrated parts of any vacation is sweet, sweet slumber.
On the first floor, kids will love snuggling down in the two twin-over-full bunks. Or they can choose to slumber in the living room ( three pull-out sleepers ).
On the second floor, two guest rooms (one with a queen and a full bed and another with a king) share a furnished balcony.
The nearby master retreat lives up to its name. Relax on the private balcony and take in a breathtaking sunset or do a little bird watching. Sink into the freestanding soaking tub in the en suite bathroom. Then retreat to the king bed.
THE LITTLE THINGS
Kids change clothes approximately 671 times a day, especially on a beach vacation, so we’ve included a washer and dryer. When it’s time to clean up for a special dinner out, we provide you with a blow dryer ( available in every bathrooms ) and ironing board. We also offer complimentary WiFi.
No need to pack all the kids gear! We have two Ciao! portable high chairs—perfect for kitchen, dining room, or balcony. When you’re headed to the beach, don’t forget the Summer Infant Pop N’ Play to shade your littlest guests from the sun. A quick jog with your little one with two jogging strollers. We also have two baby cribs w/ mattress for your precious one.
WATER WORLD
Our home sits on the tip of Galveston Island, so you’ll enjoy wide-open panoramic views of the Gulf or Bay from every side. That also means you’re a quick walk to some of the island’s best fishing spots, including the backyard pond.
At the clubhouse, you’ll find a hot tub and an infinity pool that practically spills into the Gulf. For those who dream of floating in a lazy river, we’ve got one of those, too.
Time to hit the sand? Just head through the tunnel under the road and you’re at the beach. When you return, wash off in the outdoor shower before heading upstairs to relax.
THE RESORT CLUB HOUSE:
Upon Arrival - Check in and get your access to the Beach Club:
You can pick up your wrist bands at the Beach Club that will allow you access to all of the Pointe West pools, restaurants, bars and recreation center. The wrist bands are $25 per person (over age 3) for the length of your stay and are paid to the Beach Club.

For context, we came to visit about 2 weeks after a hurricane so keep that in mind.
The house itself appeared to be struggling in its construction. There was a water spot on the ceiling of the bunk room that actually shed some plaster and it was still wet to touch. The flooring had many gaps where it looked like they ran out of material and the bottom floor had an area where the floor was really uneven. There weren’t enough dishes in the house for our group of 10 so things like forks were a hot commodity for us and there weren’t any pot holders provided so we had to make do with some dish towels we found.
All that said, the property was very clean and management was super responsive when I contacted them (there was an issue with the sheets in one of the bedrooms and they had someone there within an hour to do a complete linen change for us). There were more than enough towels for all of us which really was so nice and laundry detergent and toilet paper was all supplied which we’ve learned is not always the case. Also, checkout was so simple. Many places want you to do all their chores for them on checkout and that wasn’t the case here. They simply asked us to take out the trash, do the dishes and leave linens on the floor. It made loading up our crew way less stressful and we truly appreciated it.
Overall, the house served our needs and treated our families well. I’m sure that many of the troubles with the house were related to issues brought by the weather.

The house was wonderful for our group of three families with young kids! Clean, well-stocked, and it has excellent common spaces with lots of seating and room to play. Daniel is a pro at managing a vacation rental and it appeared in all the details. We would definitely rent this house again.
This was our sixth stay in Pointe West and it was great as always. We prefer the bay side because of the great sunsets and proximity to the family pool. Our kids love riding through tunnel on the golf cart to the beach too.

We enjoyed our stay at this beautiful Pointe West home. The rooms and balconies are all large allowing opportunities for hanging out together as well as providing quiet space for reading or rest. The kitchen had everything we needed to easily prepare meals. There was ample room at the table for all of us (11) to gather for meals.
The five children enjoyed the downstairs bedroom with bunk beds and one slept on the sleeper sofa. All other bedrooms are located on the second floor as is the laundry area. Bedding was comfortable and towels were fresh and clean. This house has four large balconies where you can view gorgeous sunsets nightly! We loved our family time in this beautiful and comfortable vacation home❤️
Daniel made check in and out quick and easy.
Wonderful vacation home!

We had an amazing stay in Galveston. The house was so beautiful and the views from each balcony were wonderful! The house was very clean and beautifully kept! We loved the super close beach access and you can pull your car right up to the water and just unload everything and play or relax! The pools were also very nice and well kept! The house was amazing for us traveling with little ones, the baby gates and cribs made our stay and travel that much easier!

The pictures don’t do this house justice! It was spotlessly clean and smelt great! All of the beds were so comfortable and the sheets were soft. Daniel really knows what he’s doing with this rental! We had 14 people aged 3 to 83 and everyone said this was the BEST vacation house they had ever stayed in. We will be back again for sure in the future!!

Multigeneration family weekend was amazing in this beautiful home. Host was responsive to all needs (and went above and beyond to get a special teddy bear back to us when it was accidentally left behind). Hope to come back soon!

We arrived and gaining access to the home and beach club were easy and smooth. The master bedroom and bathroom were spacious and the beds comfortable.
The home itself was as advertised and there were several handy appliances in the kitchen such as a rice cooker, air fryer, griddle, and large skillet for cooking. The knives and some of the utensils could use replacing. Although I realize it’s almost impossible to keep knives in good condition with a rental property. It would have been nice to have a dish scrubber or something for washing pots and pans. We also needed to run and purchase a cookie sheet/roasting pan as there was nothing there. There were several toys for the beach but I’d suggest purchasing your own boogie boards as the majority were already cracked and breaking.
Daniel was responsive to any problems or questions and had the air conditioner fixed/replaced the next day after bringing it to his attention.
The beach club itself was under some construction and we never did find the community room or the little restaurant. The pools were great and one was in easy walking distance from the home. The kids definitively enjoyed having 2 pools and hot tubs to enjoy. I was under the impression that the beachfront was a little closer to the home. With towels and gear, you definitely need to plan of driving over.
We enjoyed Galveston overall and enjoyed having a comfortable place to come home to.

This place was perfect for the 2 families with young kids. The house was beautiful, very clean and quietly located between the bay and Oceanside. The house had plenty of beach toys for the young kids to take to the beach and we loved being able to use the heated pool, hot tub and lazy river which is a quick walk (this pool house is located right in the neighborhood).
The owner was very quick to respond and made the check-in and out seem less. We would definitely stay again! Thank you!

It was a perfect house for our family. The weather was a bit ugly and the heated lazy river was not working, but the hot tub was great for the kids and grandkids. We are a foodie family and the kitchen had all kinds of specialty things, including an awesome air fryer!! Mattresses were great. I need to find out what the brand is, never slept better!!!

We loved our stay! It was perfect for multiple families. We had some rainy mornings, but the house was so amazing it didn’t matter. Daniel was such an amazing host! He was quick to answer any questions that came up before/during our stay and very accommodating! I booked the stay and planned the trip for our group, which always adds pressure, but everyone was SO impressed with the trip. The resort also included really nice amenities. We loved both pools. The beach was so nice and quiet, and we even walked down to watch the sunrise on our last morning. I wasn’t ready to leave and I’m already thinking about booking again!

Gorgeous house. Perfect location. Easy access and quick communication. Our week at the beach was great. We love Pointe West and usually stay ocean front, but we decided to try bayside this time. Everyone had a blast and the house was just as pretty as the pics and fully stocked. I was a little surprised that with all the kitchen offered, we didn’t have wine glasses. First time ever. But that was a tiny hiccup compared to how perfect everything else was. And Daniel was so friendly, easy to contact, and super fast to respond. Couldn’t ask for more!

All we hoped for and more...
We've stayed at Point West 4 years and this is the first time on the bayside. It was wonderful! Sunsets on one balcony and sunrise on the other. The pond for fishing and crabbing out our backdoor for the kids was perfect, too. The home was comfortable and spacious for the 14 of us. We spent so much time on the balcony so that was just an extra living space as well. We loved the longer golf cart ride to the beach actually! We'll be back!

Great beach property
Great location on the far end of the island. The water is cleaner and the beach less crowded. The house is about a half mile walk to the gulf side, which is where you would want to swim or hand out. If that’s too far, there is a parking area and you can drive to the edge of the boardwalk. The bay side is across the street for fishing, but not good to swim in.
The house is fantastic for families or large groups, with plenty of beds. There is an outside shower and tables at the ground level.
Loved staying here and would highly recommend.

The house was perfect for a family reunion. We had 10 people ranging from 2 to 72 and it was great to have everyone under one room for 3 nights. The house was large with an open floor plan with lots of decks to enjoy both indoors and outdoor spaces.
The location itself was great, with various pools in the complex and easy access to beaches.
This is not a con, but an FYI it is quite a hike from any retail stores or restaurants and we couldn't find anything that would deliver, so be prepared to drive 15 mins each way for pizza or to shop accordingly on arrival. We had a child who needed to see a Dr. in the middle of the night and ended up driving 40 mins to the only hospital on the island.
I think its a perfect house on a great secluded part of the island and would go there again, but be mindful of how far from the city part of the island it is.

The house was beautiful and had the best of both (all) worlds! The beach goers, the fisherman in the bay and the guests that prefer the luxury of the pool and poolside service of the country club, we’re all able to enjoy the things they like to do in Galveston!
The property owner was super responsive and helpful and I will definitely be renting here again!
