Lovely condo!
We really enjoyed our stay! Condo is updated and clean and owner had all the extra things we needed (pack and play, extra beach towels, storage locker to borrow beach toys, every kitchen item to cook). Pools and hot tubs were nice and balcony view to beach is fantastic! We will definitely check availability here in the future! Kids loved the basketball goal and large hot tub.

Fantastic Kitchen!
My family loves to cook and this kitchen was perfect! They had everything we needed to make several delicious meals. The large dining table on the balcony had an unobstructed view of the beach. We have no complaints and will definitely reserve this lovely condo again in the future.

Great condo at Pointe West
We’ve been coming to Pointe West for several years and this condo was definitely one of the nicest! It appears to have been recently renovated and updated. The pictures don’t do it justice. It’s much nicer. We love it here because the beaches are always clean, it’s quiet and away from the hubbub. There is also an excellent restaurant and bar on the property. The name says it all, Almost Heaven!

Amazing getaway
This was my first trip to the area and the community and condo were absolutely amazing! The secluded beaches were great and the condo was gorgeous! It had everything and more than we needed. I have never stayed at a property that was stocked with everything imaginable. The kitchen was a dream! The Pointe West neighborhood was beautiful. I can’t recommend this property enough!

Overall Nice Stay
We had a pleasant stay while in JoAn’s condo. We unfortunately had a poor check in process and were unable to reach the host to help. JoAn did get back with us and solved the problem, but it was not until the next day. We were a little disappointed on the cleanliness of the condo. There were long grey hairs on the couch when we arrived. Some of the dishes had dried food/leftovers on them. Both showers did not drain well and water would begin pooling at the bottom after only about 5 minutes. It was incredibly helpful to have a high chair and pack and play at the condo, though, for our little one. Also, of note the mosquitos were absolutely TERRIBLE! Our group had never experienced mosquitos like this before. For the first 3-4 days when we would leave the condo and walk to the beach we would be attacked by a swarm of mosquitoes. We had bug spray and that didn’t even help. There are citronella candles in the condo but there is no lighter available to be able to use the candles. This is not on the host by any means but just awareness! Also, we could not use any of the outlets on the patio as when we tried it did create a spark and we had to reset the breaker. Overall it was a nice stay, though. Thanks JoAn!

Incredibly comfortable beach apartment in beautiful Galveston
The apartment is extremely well equipped and stocked, clean, spacious and tasteful decorated and is situated in a quiet environment with the perks of a community house with pools and fitness room. Usually we can always detect one or more shortcomings in a house we rent, but with this apartment everything was perfect. Really liked that owners have created folders with all Handy information. We really loved our stay over there and hope we can come back some time.

Peaceful and beautiful
This condo was gorgeous. It was immaculately cleaned, well stocked, beautifully decorated, and there wasn’t a bad view anywhere you looked. We are a family of six with kiddos ranging from 11-1. This was the lightest we’ve ever had to pack. Mike and JoAn provided so many amenities. From high chairs to strollers and everything in between. This is the best stocked kitchen of any condo we’ve ever rented. There wasn’t a single kitchen item we needed we didn’t have. The balcony is breathtaking and has tons of seating options. JoAn and Mike were great to work with anytime we had questions and were superb hosts. If we ever make it back to Galveston we would want to stay here again!

Wonderful condo!
We’ve stayed in different condos at Pointe West over the years and enjoyed them all. However, the owners of this condo have truly thought of everything! The closet is full of games, the storage closet is full of toys and a wagon for the beach, and there’s a fully stocked kitchen. There are even small laundry baskets in the closets! We had such a great time and look forward to returning again in the future.

The property was exactly as advertised. This is our third stay at pointe West and I believe this is our favorite unit. It is on the third floor facing the Gulf of Mexico. High Enough that they were no mosquitoes on the porch. The elevator remains glitchy in all of the buildings. The restaurant was open. The pool was a little too busy so we enjoyed the beach and ocean instead. I particularly like to bring my bike and ride on the local trails every day. Thank you For maintaining such a nice unit!
