Enjoy a serene bay view getaway at this Galveston vacation rental featuring a well-equipped stainless-steel kitchen, two private patios and almost panoramic views of the Gulf of Mexico for all to enjoy! You and your friends can snuggle up in the hammock on the patio and watch the sun set along palm-tree lined lanes and grassy knolls.

Located just 40 minutes from the island-bound city of Galveston, visitors can pamper themselves with fine food and drink or take in the salty air while crabbing, fishing, doing ropes courses, or shopping along the pier. Condo guests also have access to all the amenities at Pointe West Resort and Beach Club, including an infinity pool and hot tub, pool side bar, fitness facility, and miles of walking trails.

The space is perfect for couples or small families on vacation together. The modern condo features crisp, clean lines in its oversized grey couches, faux bamboo floors and granite countertops. Portal-style mirrors and artwork featuring the tide at bay and bubbling brooks create a relaxed and inviting environment.

Guests will stay with ease in the spacious three bedrooms, share a meal in the dining area, catch a flick on the TV or move to the patio to catch a cool breeze and beat the Texas heat.

Feel instantly at ease in the living room with comfortable furnishigns and paper-lantern floor lamps. The room is enGulfed in windows, painting a swirl of teal, grey and blue scenes from the bay. Snuggle up to a good movie on the large TV or gather for good conversation. An overhead ceiling fan, double glass doors and plenty of windows will keep you and your guests cool in this shared living room and dining space.

The kitchen is an entertainer's dream, featuring a double sink and stainless steel microwave, range top oven, refrigerator and dishwasher. A buffet-style counter top will allow you to serve your guests crab cakes and pan-friend flounder with potatoes and parsley with ease. Or, enjoy family-style meals at the lovely dining space.

Double glass doors just off the dining room lend way to the private patio which features a cozy hammock, lounge chairs, and a wooden outdoor bistro table - perfect for lazy afternoon brunch or late night social hour. Per square foot, the patio space is almost as large as the shared dining and living room, meaning you and your guests can lounge in style and take in expansive views of the Gulf of Mexico.

The 1427-square foot condo comfortably sleeps everyone. One bedroom features an overhead ceiling fan and a TV; a second bedroom features bunk beds perfect for younger travelers. All guests have access to a full bathroom complete with granite counter tops and a rainfall nozzle shower head.The main bedroom suite is home to an overhead ceiling fan, and a private bathroom featuring a double sink vanity, granite countertops and an over-sized mirror and a glass stand-up shower. Best of all, the main bedroom suite offers a romantic private patio, perfect for a cozy glass of wine before bed.

You can stay up-to-date with the latest entertainment and news thanks to wireless internet, and keep your guests comfortable and clean with a full washer/dryer.

Adventurers will get their hands dirty on Galveston Island setting crab bait or tying lines on a catamaran fishing vessel just 40 minutes away in Galveston. Families will enjoy Moody Gardens, a one-stop-shop for family adventure. The facility features an aquarium, rainforest with monkeys and alligators, paddle wheel cruises, lazy giver, discovery museum, a 3D movie theater, ropes courses, and more. Or enjoy the private resort setting of Pointe West Resort and Beach Club, with access to sun-bathing pavilions, pool-side bars and three miles of untouched beaches.

The property location was excellent. Communication with manager was wonderful. Could use a little TLC Washing the picture windows to see the water view and several relatively minor maintenance issues would have upgraded the whole experience. A trip to the dollar store for some kitchen, furnishings such as serving bowls , containers, more place settings would be good

Our family vacation
We liked our stay and the apartment was very clean and the view of the ocean was gorgeous. During our stay, we encountered a few issues that we believe need attention for future guests: 1) There was a noticeable mosquito problem in the apartment, likely stemming from nearby construction. This made it difficult to enjoy the balcony and outdoor areas, unlike the neighboring apartments and beach house. 2) The elevator urgently needs repair. Climbing three flights of stairs while dealing with mosquito bites was quite challenging.

Inaccurate and dirty
Top floor room and elevator has been out of order for a long time. Not on the listing. Walking up to the room the attic access door was hanging down over the door light Hvac was extremely dirty and cooking pans had a bunch of food stuck to them. Back patio blinds were broken and the tvs/ remotes didn't work. Wifi was spotty at best. Great location, nice and quiet, poorly maintained unfortunately

This property is in desperate need of maintenance.
The common bathroom doesn’t lock. The blinds are falling apart. The lock of the back porch door is so rusted that we had to scrape it for the door to latch again once we opened it. The kitchen is ill equipped – there isn’t even enough silverware for the advertised number of guests they allow. There were 5 forks, and the place is advertised to accommodate 8 guests! The TV is so old you have to connect your laptop with an HDMI cable if you want any type of streaming. The worst was the hallway floor, as mentioned in a review from August 2023. The hallway floor as well as the bedroom floor is sinking – so much so that we were wondering if we wouldn’t end up in the apartment below. But we discovered during a stormy night - why it was so. Water gets into the unit during storms. It was literally coming in through the windows and underneath the front door porch. I texted with the Vacasa customer service that evening and while they apologized profusely and told me the matter would be escalated – no one showed up or checked in with us! But I think the worst part is the terrible customer service and lack of any type of maintenance crew on site. Every time we asked for something they directed us to Vacasa - which were less than helpful! I’m not going back there or to any Vacasa property for that matter!

We go to Galveston almost every year from DFW and look for a newer rental, away from town, on the beach. This was great as it was the farthest from town and was the last rental on the island before your cross the bridge to the next island. Love the privacy and quietness! The morning and evening walks on the beach were felt like we were by ourselves.

Unfortunately disappointed
First, let’s start with the great things about the unit. The view is incredible, since it’s the last building of the complex you have a completely unobstructed view of the ocean. It’s about 2 min by foot from the boardwalk to the beach and about 10min to the beach club and pool. However, unfortunately the upkeep of the unit was quite disappointing. This was our first time booking through vacasa and we had way higher hopes. Once walking into the unit, my husband wanted to open the blinds and they fell completely on top of him while doing that. There are a bunch of scuff marks on the walls and the furniture, there are gaps in the threshold in hallway where we stubbed our toes and my toddler even ended up with a small cut in his foot. There were a few lightbulbs missing in lamps as well as no soap in either bathroom. The hair dryer in the bathroom wasn’t working, it only blew cold air. All the air vents look to have black mold on them. Moving on to the kitchen,the switch for the garbage disposal wasn’t working so we ended up with a backed up sink. And to top it off,the clothes dryer also was out of commission. However the most worrisome part was the the floors in the unit were super uneven, flexing when stepping on them and almost felt wavy, for the lack of a better word. It seemed like there had been water damage that was never addressed. I have attached pictures of most of the addressed items. Pointe West is wonderful! This unit was unfortunately disappointing!

Units needs maintenance
The condo looks to have been neglected by routine maintenance and upkeep. Broken light fixtures, disgusting air vents with obvious mold growth, layers of dust on wall decor, towels smelled of mildew, etc. Booking and check-in were a breeze but that doesn’t make up for poorly maintained unit. I won’t stay there again.

Condo needs TLC
The balcony has a beautiful view of the ocean and the bay, a rare find. The condo was clean. The condo needs some major TLC. The floor is uneven. The beds squeak a lot disrupting sleep. The appliances are on their kitchen legs. The fridge is missing a shelf and the oven a rack. The kitchen is stocked with low quality things and is bare bones. Several things are in need of repair. As warned in the description is the elevator was broken during our entire stay. Point West magment did not respond. Hauling our stuff up three sets of stairs was rough. Also the walk way to the beach has no ramp so you also have to haul your stuff up and down stairs.

Great property - not so great communication.
Loved our trip! The only stressful part was check-out. The sign posted on the door in the unit said 11:00 am checkout, but I had remembered seeing 10:00 am somewhere else. So, I called the Vacasa number (it was in their text messages to me), and the woman I spoke with confirmed checkout was at 11:00 am. Well, 10:20 am rolls around and I get a snarky text about needing to vacate the unit immediately. So I texted back that we’re packing up, but the door sign AND the person I spoke with told me 11:00 am checkout. Let’s just say the following texts from the texter were rude and argumentative. I texted back that their communications errors were not my issue, and we’d be out by 11 am. I didn’t hear back, and the person deleted the text conversation. It really took away from the great weekend we’d had.

Everything needs updating
First impression was that there was a bad odor as soon as we walked in and dirt/sand on the floor. The upstairs bunks were made up and sand was in the sheets. That was not discovered until my 12 year old went to sleep. Most bunks at rentals have clean sheets in plastic wrap to be made up by guest. The primary bedroom shower did not drain which led to a most unpleasant experience for the 2 grown ups. All of the pillows were awful as were most of the beds. The king and queen squeaked so much that the occupants woke each other up with every move. The kitchen didn't even have a cookie sheet , so fortunately I brought foil from home. I think there was maybe one butter knife and one normal size coffee mug. And what a disappointment to put a huge load of beach and bath towels in the dryer only to discover that it didn't dry them at all. I usually come home well rested from a stay at Pointe West, but not this time. I didn't expect perfection as I booked quite late for this popular rental season and had read some below average reviews regarding this property, but it was quite unacceptable.

A nice getaway but a few improvements to be made
We had a lovely weekend in Galveston! First the pros of this property: Location, location, location. If you want a beautiful view of both sunrise and sunset, this is your place. Being able to see the beach and the bay was a nice perk, and we enjoyed sitting on the balconies and watching the beach. The view of the beach includes a good portion of the vehicles-allowed side, so do keep that in mind if you're wanting a pristine beach view. And the beach is a decent walk from the house, so that's worth noting as well. The condo itself was clean, but we did note that it was pretty sparse (likely due to COVID-19). We thankfully brought coffee with us, but minimal provisions would have been appreciated, particularly given the fact that the nearest grocery store was miles away. The kitchen implements could use some upgrades in the future, but all in all, we were satisfied with the kitchen. Our main complaint was with the checkin process. We had called to modify our number of guests after receiving an invoice for wristbands for the resort area. We never received a call back, and received multiple invoices with the incorrect number of guests listed. A note to future guests: If you do plan to use the pool/resort area, it's worth noting that you'll be invoiced separately for this access. This was surprising to us given the fact that we felt this rental was already pretty costly. The other con for us was the price. While this residence met our minimum expectations, for the price it did not EXCEED our expectations. One other minor point of frustration for us was that the entry code was incredibly complex and therefore impossible to memorize during our stay. This meant that every time we returned to the condo, we had to pull our phone out to look up the code after 3 flights of stairs (while balancing all of our beach supplies and trying to keep an eye on our small child). Little details like this make your trip easier and more enjoyable, so we would ask the property management to consider this when setting property codes in the future!

First of all, before you even enter the property the garbage shoot does not close outside the unit, so you get a horrible garbage smell every night. The window blinds where broken. Some blinds where vertical when they should be horizontal. There was was a dip in the fake wood/vinyl floor. The back door handle was broken and rusty. The electrical outlets where blackened like they had been shorted out. It’s almost like the place had been flooded but not fixed. This place is like a rundown college dorm times 15!!! We have stayed at many places in West Point, but this unit was horrible. Not worth the money AT ALL!!
