Just a beautiful bay home that had all the amenities you could want. Such a quiet and peaceful spot by the water. Loved having my coffee in the morning on the deck and listening to all the birds. My wife and kids had a great time and Trevor made everything simple and stress free.

Thank you Daniel. We are glad you enjoyed your stay and look forward to having you again.
I’ve stayed in Pointe West four times and this house was perfect fit for our family and grandchildren. I loved the location; its nature, beautiful sunsets, and never-ending bay breeze on the front and back porches. The house is spacious, comfy, and beautifully decorated. The homeowner is very responsive with any questions you may have and is genuinely concerned with ensuring your stay is just as you hoped. I would definitely stay here again!

Thank you Kim for the kind words. It was a pleasure having your family at the house and we are glad y'all enjoyed it. We look forward to seeing you again in the future!
We truly enjoyed our stay here. The home is tastefully decorated with the perfect amount of decor to not feel over croweded. Very spacious. We had 3 families coming together under 1 roof and we never felt on top of each other. The host was amazing. On top of all my questions and even provided items he did not have ahead of time so we did not have to pack extra. Top notch customer service. The long driveway was the perfect touch for the kids to ride their scooters while the baby got a nap in. Highly recommend and would definitely book again. 10/10.
This was a last minute find. My husband found this piece of heaven while perusing properties on VRBO; booked it immediately. The house was immaculate, loved the surf theme, and quiet location. The stairs are not for the faint of heart. We got a good workout using the stairs outside and inside the house 🤗. Trevor was very helpful and prompt with any help or answers. We enjoyed our stay and look forward to the next one.
Stayed here over Memorial Day weekend. The house was gorgeous, just like the pictures portrayed. We rented a golf cart and were an easy ride to the clubhouse/ beach! My husband and son enjoyed wading into the water on the bayside for early morning fishing. It turns out to be quite the hotspot for fishermen. The owner was helpful with any questions pertaining to the house prior to our arrival, so we knew what to bring. Also there was an occasional message to the owner during the stay and he was quick to respond. I would definitely stay here again.
Property was clean and worked well for 3 couples and a bunch of kids. Bunk room was perfect for the kids and the 3 king beds with their own bathrooms were well appreciated by all. There was no outdoor grill or blender which wasn’t a problem at all. Just be prepared. The only other thing I might mention is the 26 steps to get to e main living area. Just don’t pack anything to heavy to carry up.
Thanks Trevor for your hospitality.

Hi Mike, Thank you for the nice comments. I wanted to give you an update. We have added an outdoor BBQ pit. You can see the pit in the additional photos for the property. We also added a blender at the house, too. We hope you will come again soon!
From the moment we arrived, our stay at this vacation rental was nothing short of spectacular. The highlight of this home was the breathtaking views. The spacious layout comfortably accommodated our family. The bunk room was a huge hit for the kids. The kitchen became the heart of the house. We enjoyed gathering for meals and games as a family.
It was wonderful having private access to the beach. We spent many hours building sandcastles, swimming, and soaking up the sun without having to go to a crowded beach.
Having the community amenities, including the beach club pool and lazy river was a great option for our family when we needed a break from the beach.
We cannot recommend this house highly enough. We have already planned our next visit!

Thank you for the review. We are glad to hear your stay was an enjoyable time and that you enjoyed the house. We look forward to hosting you on your next trip to Galveston!
My wife and I stayed at this property for a few days. The beach house was decorated nicely and had everything we needed and more. The bedrooms are very spacious with comfy beds and super clean bathrooms. Even the kids have a cool room. The property is well kept outside and the inside is spotless. Trevor, the owner, was responsive to our needs and helpful when we had any questions. The location is perfect since it’s a short drive away from the “touristy” part of Galveston. It’s located in a nice quiet area and the view from the balcony was great. The location is a short walk to West Bay for some fishing, or a quick 2 minute drive to the beach side of Galveston. If your looking to work while on your relaxing stay, the WIFI access is easy and fast. I would highly recommend this house for anyone who wanted a great vacation at the beach.
Our stay in Galveston was an absolute delight. The house itself was a haven with modern amenities and tasteful decor, providing the perfect setting for a family vacation. Its proximity to the beach was incredibly convenient. The rental's amenities catered perfectly to our family's love for bay fishing, offering easy access to fishing spots and a convenient cleaning station for our catches.
The property management was exceptional, with seamless communication and attentive service throughout our stay. We had a question about the check-in process since we're fairly new to VRBO, and the host made the process effortless.
Cleanliness was top-notch. With the spotless condition of the house upon arrival it was evident that the owners took great care to provide a clean and comfortable environment.
Overall, our time at this beach rental surpassed all expectations. I highly recommended this house for families seeking a beachfront retreat with exceptional service and amenities. We'll be back next year.
Overall, the house is beautiful and very new, which made for a pleasant first impression. However, it was missing some thoughtful extras that would have enhanced the experience. Guests are expected to bring everything themselves—beach chairs, toys, and other beach essentials—as none are provided. The kitchen is minimally stocked with only the basic cookware, so be prepared to bring or purchase anything beyond the essentials.In previous stays at similar homes, the experience felt more like a true home away from home, with extra touches that made packing and planning easier. This property, unfortunately, didn’t offer that same convenience.Additionally, the two master bedrooms upstairs share a deck with absolutely no privacy. There are no blinds or coverings on the doors, which was quite disappointing. We ended up purchasing inexpensive curtains and taping them up ourselves just to feel comfortable. One of the master bathrooms also had a shower that didn’t drain properly, which was frustrating.Lastly, while the home does have an elevator, it’s not accessible to renters. That was a letdown, especially since we’ve stayed in other homes where elevator access was included and made things much easier.The house is adjacent across the street to the beach club so it’s easy access by car or golf cart. close to a public beach access.I don’t think I would stay here again with a big family due to having to bring everything. If you’re looking for a simple place to stay, this is it.

Hi Erin,
Thank you for the feedback. The listing for this property shows everything that is offered both in how the rooms are designed and amenities offered.
We don’t provide beach items due to the amount of inspection and replacement required to maintain the high level of quality we want to maintain in our property. Beach items get damaged too frequently by regular usage and the saltwater environment. There are several companies that provide the service or beach tent and chair rentals and will even set them up for you. We provided contact information for these companies in the digital house book we sent to you when you rented the house. The House Book lists things to consider bringing including items for the beach.
The kitchen is stocked with settings for 12, multiple drinkware options, a full pot and pan set with large boil pots, wok, mixing bowls, measuring spoons and cups, baking pans/sheets, duplicates of cooking utensils for inside and BBQ grill, cutting boards, crock pot, blender, hand mixer, Keurig and standard coffee pot, milk whipper, etc. enough to cook anything from a crab boil to a Thanksgiving feast. You asked if we had a rice cooker prior to your trip and we confirmed that we didn’t have one because we cook rice on the stove top. We are always happy to answer questions on specific kitchen requests to make sure renters know what is available.
Yes, the windows on the front and the sides of the house have blinds. Since we have no neighbors on the back side of the house and the views of the bay are best from the back, we did not install blinds on the back windows that would limit the views. The photos on the listing show this feature.
The shower that drained slowly for you was draining properly prior to your stay. If you would have called or texted me about this problem, we would have been able to remedy it to minimize your frustration. The low flow of the drain was noted during cleaning and remedied immediately.
This property does not have an elevator nor claim to have an elevator on the listing. It was built with aligned closets on the ground, first and second floors and electrical wiring that could be configured for an elevator in the future. We use these closets for cleaning supplies and to store owner items while being rented.
We thank you for your stay and wish you the best in your future travels.
