Beach front, Top Floor Condo, stunning views of the gulf, 7 days, 10% discount

This 3rd floor beachfront 2 bedroom 2 bath condo (sleeps 6) has a large 280 Sq ft private balcony overlooking the Gulf of Mexico. The condo is in the Pointe West Resort, Galveston’s Premier Resort Destination, at the western end of Galveston. Sitting on the balcony you can enjoy beautiful views of the Gulf that only a top floor penthouse condo can provide with the added benefit of not having the "pitter-patter" of little (or big) feet from a condo above you. On the balcony, previous guests love the 6 bar-height arm chairs and 2 bar tables that allow you to look over the railing for an enhanced view of the Gulf. In addition, there are two Adirondack chairs, and a small table, for reading or napping.
Access to 3 miles of secluded, vehicle-free, groomed beaches, the widest on the Island can be gained by the dune walkover, which literally starts from the common outside parking lot. No need to pack up the kids, load up the car and hunt for a parking space to get to the beach. It is a short 6-7' walk to the 20,000 sq ft private Beach Club and a second dune walkover with a ramp to the beach. The building only has 9 condos on three floors with elevator service, and a reserved ground floor parking space. A trash chute is located on each floor. Together these features will allow you to have a relaxing, laid back vacation with no need to pack up the car and hunt for a parking space near the beach walkovers.
The condo is furnished with a fully-equipped kitchen that has blender, a Mr. Coffee regular drip coffee maker as well as a Keurig cup machine, and coffee grinder. The kitchen is well stocked; with many basic ingredients; including vegetable and olive oil, sugar, spices, coffee filters, teas and condiments. An apartment-size washer and dryer are also in the condo. A TV in the master bedroom, basic cable in living room and the dining area seats 6, with high bar chairs to fully enjoy the Gulf view, during dinner. The family room contains a pull out sleeper sofa, two arm chairs, a large wall mounted TLC 55" internet ready smart TV, a Vizio bluetooth sound bar, Netflix and Amazon Prime and basic cable. The master bedroom has a large window providing a view of the Gulf from the bed as well as separate doorway access to the deck. It contains a king-size bedroom set with a large walk-in closet, dresser, luggage rack, alarm clock, TV-with basic cable and en-suite bathroom with shower only. The second bedroom contains two twin beds with closet. The condo also has a second full bathroom with a shower/bathtub.
A storage room next to the front door has beach chairs, beach umbrellas, boogie boards, and various children beach toys.
Pointe West Resort is popular due to the wide variety of amenities it offers (watch video for overview). There are two pool complexes. The larger Beach Club facility, a short (6-7') walk from the condo contains an Infiniti Pool, fitness center, a second floor game room (large TV, pool table, ping pong table, foosball table, etc,) gift shop, cabanas and covered areas with gas grills and food preparation area and tables. A private restaurant and bar, SOS, are on premises. The Sunset pool area is on the bay side of the resort, containing the Baywater Pool and Lazy River, and Hot Tub. The pool is heated in the cooler months. Here one can bring a tube and stay cool under the large palms while you float the lazy river or relax in the hot tub with a cold drink enjoying the Texas sunsets over West Bay. It is approx. one mile from our condo (need a car or golf cart). The entire resort is connected by miles of golf cart/biking paths allowing a stress-free vacation with minimum need to drive anywhere.

Be aware: All Pointe West 2-bedroom condos have the same size living area, approx. 1100 sq ft. and balcony, approx. 280-300 sq ft.. Some condo owners include the balcony square footage in the Living area, we do not.
*Fees and Taxes: The Beach Club imposes a one-time $25 person fee for use of the two pool facilities for the length of you stay. This fee changes without notice.
*VRBO collects from the renter the 6% State and 9% Galveston “Accommodations" or Hotel Occupancy tax (HOT). The "Service fee" is imposed my VRBO.
**Please note due to the harsh coastal environment this building’s (like all Pointe West) elevators occasionally is inoperable due to abuse, repairs or maintenance. Our top floor condo is not the best choice for guests with limited mobility. We do not accept dogs or cats and our condo is for non smokers. We look forward to hosting you.

Wonderful stay!
This property was perfect on the top floor. It also had no obstruction to the beach. Everything was clean and nicely decorated. William was great to always get back to me fast with and answers to my questions. There was everything we needed in the kitchen. We left a cooler and some fishing gear in the closet for the next guess since we couldn’t take them home. We would love to come back to this exact property. The clubhouse was so close and convenient.

Wonderful time at the beach
Wanted some off season time at the Galveston beach. The property has an unobstructed view of the beach and is close enough to hear the surf. A walkway to the beach is only a short distance away. The condo is clean and nicely furnished with everything you need for a relaxing stay. It is a bit of a walk to the Beach Club pool area but, of course, a nice flat walk. When we arrived one of the smoke alarms was chirping with a low battery warning. The owner was easy to contact and very responsive. Stuff happens so how it is handled is what is important to me and so I very much appreciate the ease of contacting the owner/host. The complex is located on the opposite end of the island from Galveston so be aware that driving to town is 15-20 miles depending on where in town you're going. The plus of that is that it's the quiet side of the island with far fewer people on the beach. If you want a nice clean place with a view of the beach and easy access to the beach then you will enjoy this rental.

Relaxing week at the beach
Comfy clean condo, nicely equipped with kitchen, bath, entertainment, and beach items. Not having to buy hand soap is always a bonus! The owners, Bill and Claire were quick to respond to any and all questions and kindly made our reservations for the resort. They also supplied us with the holiday week’s events. The staff at the resort were amazing and the other owners and guest very friendly and respectful of the quiet hours We really enjoyed our stay and plan to return!

We wanted a place to spend time with our children before school started and this was the perfect place to do it! The location is amazing, quiet and not over crowded, right on the ocean! The views from the condo are stunning! Property Managers were very easy to communicate with, not that we had any issues, but we did extend our stay by an extra day and that was a seamless transaction! We loved this place and will definitely be back!

Cozy condo
Cute condo and pretty view of the beach. Loved the balcony. Very relaxing. Not far from Pier (approximately 30 minutes) but less people in the area though the pools were *very crowded* and beach somewhat (it is summer and everyone staying there made it busy/crowded, not much different staying closer to Pier). One of the pool gates was not working but fun pools. The kids loved them. The restaurant was closed which would have been helpful as there isn’t much out there shopping/dining (so plan accordingly with food and grocery trip especially with kiddos) and delivery was over 2 hours. The only downside was the elevator not working majority of trip and upon arrival (and condo on 3rd floor.) Afraid we would get trapped inside and signage people cannot read. And warm inside the unit, bring extra fans. Tv in master did not work. Condo had all the essentials though could use additional trash bags, toilet paper, towels, etc. It’s a nice area by Jamaica Beach. The property is well maintained and private beach access was nice.

Perfect first family vacation // kids first time to see the ocean
Our first vacation as a family of 4. We have 2 young children 3yo and 1yo. They had a blast at their first ever beach and ocean experience. The condo was adorable and perfect for us. Plenty of room and living area. Fully stocked kitchen where I was able to cook yummy homemade meals. 3rd floor balcony view of the ocean was just amazing. Direct beach access to private, quiet, clean beach space. Very well maintained property. Excellent amenities on site so you don’t even have to leave if you don’t want to. The kids especially loved the pool with a lazy river, shallow areas, and splash pad. Exclusive to members only so there’s no outside foot traffic crowding up the pools or on-site restaurant. My only recommendation is to bring your bug spray! The mosquitos were terrible. Other than that I literally have no complaints. The hosts were just the nicest people and we had such an incredibly easy stay. Very accommodating, informative, and communicative. We will absolutely stay here again the next time we travel to Galveston. Highly recommend!

Great Vacation Spot with Beautiful Ocean Views
We had a great vacation and loved waking up with the beautiful ocean views from this condo. My kids are 9 and 3, and the condo was super family friendly with everything we needed during our stay. We had fun going out to the ocean and using the 2 pools on the property. In addition, we took a day to head into town to have lunch at Katie’s Seafood Diner and hung out at Moody Gardens with the kiddos. The rest of the time, we stayed close to the condo because we had everything we needed there. I definitely would recommend this property for anyone looking for a getaway for the family in Galveston! Thank you for a beautiful vacation!
