Great place to get away!

Stayed there over memorial weekend. Very nice condo, the host was very accommodating leaving us all sorts of treats/coffee/etc. We all had a blast and will be returning. You are required to pay extra for a wristband to use the pool/workout facilities, so that was silly, but otherwise no complaints. Also not much traffic there as it's a good 30 min south of Galveston.

Beach chic

Condo was absolutely perfect for our 2 families. The decor throughout the entire unit was amazing. Our kids enjoyed the adorable bunk beds, toys and books. The kitchen was stocked with any utensil we needed. It was beyond what we expected and made our trip unforgettable. The restaurant at the beach club was great, get the shrimp!

Couldn’t ask for more

We are frequent renters at Pointe West and we were absolutely thrilled with the Whale House condo. We loved the decor and the comfiness of every room. They had everything thing we needed and really put attention to detail. If you have kids this is the place for you! Everything is thoughtfully provided for you. We will definitely be back again and again!

Wonderful experience

We arrived to find the condo exactly as listed. It was like home away from home. Every little detail was thought of. We had a great time at the beach, as well as the pools. The restaurant on site, the Pointe was wonderful & a huge bonus to not have to load up in the car to get lunch/dinner. We would highly recommend this rental, and hope to rent it again when we return to Galveston.

Short getaway

The condo itself was perfect. The kitchen had every thing you need to to cook. We have three-year-old toddlers and they had so much fun playing with all the new toys. We didn’t even have to unpack theirs out of the car. The beds were very comfortable. I loved all the details of the decor. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
