My review

The property was nice, however, website was misleading and should have stated that the amenities (pools) had an additional charge (25 per person). No deadbolt on main door which allowed kids to open the door from the inside. Clothes dryer knobs broken. Dishes in cupboard were dirty. Killed four roaches in 3 days. Dirt and dust under beds. Pots and pans need to be replaced. Beautiful views and plenty of space. Nice but room for improvement.

Perfect for a family getaway

Linda was great at communicating with us before our stay. Place was clean and well cared for. She even left us a welcome basket with popcorn and plates and some cleaning supplies. Property turned out to be on the bay side which meant we had to drive across the street for the main clubhouse pool and and beach but we didn’t mind at all because the sunset over the bay was spectacular from the balcony!

On the water at Pointe West

This condo is in a great location on a great property. This building has views of water almost from every window. It is right on the bay where you have fishing right outside the building The bay is all flats and perfect for kayaking or wade fishing anytime the wind is calm. You also have an unubsrtucted view of the sunset right from the unit. This was our first stay at this unit. I will be trying to book this same unit next time we are there.

Perfect for a girls trip!

The condo was very convenient for our group of 5 adult women. We appreciated getting away and not having to share beds. Enough bathrooms to accommodate all of us getting ready. The Pointe West complex was great as we liked the pools better than the sand. The beach access and pool access was great, enough parking that we could easily drive (in the heat) to get where we needed to go. Definitely take your bug spray though!

Relaxing Vacation

The rental was very nice and comfortable. We loved that we could all relax in the living room to watch movies and there was a big dining room table right there to work a jigsaw puzzle on. Watching the sunset over the bay was beautiful in the evenings. We would definitely go back!
