Wonderful view and very nice building! Sofa was very uncomfortable and sure if had to use bed as was original plan that would have been horrible as did not look like good bed. The tv’s in neither room worked properly and master tv was not at all usable . Bathrooms were wonderful and beside sofa and tv issues would have gave it a 5 star!

Great location and amenities
A little farther than I expected but the privacy of the beach and local amenities made up for it. Staff at boardwalk were great no matter where you go.
Decent condo. Location and views were excellent. Resort amenities were fantastic.

Most relaxing trip ever.
The place was great, clean, and away from the crowded beaches. Canopy and chair rentals are a must. We got
Everything we needed before heading out there and never left the property during our entire stay.

Beautiful beach access, Condo was beautiful
Landscaping was absolutely amazing. Parking was covered and very good access to elevator. Loved the Trash Chute.
Nice place! There is some walking distance over a rattlesnake preserve to get to the beach which i wasnt aware off, but not a huge deal. Wish it was closer to the beach. Its also about 30 mins away from most attractions in galveston so if you're looking for peace and quiet its a winner.wwinner.Wasnt aware kf
Lots of room and large patio overlooking the ocean. Arrived after hours and had an issue with the door code which was promptly fixed. Looking forward to the same location next year.

Great getaway.
The back balcony is worth it! We were very happy with the condo. It was very clean and quiet. It was a nice getaway hardly anyone around. Great location for sunrises. We'll definitely be back!
excellent decor. location quiet and off the beaten path, easy access to beach. both of us are 80 so high tech entry to condo very challenging. only negative is beyond the owners control but really high mosquito population
Weather wasn't great so trying to factor that in. Quick communication, but when we asked to switch a date it was approved, then told it was booked and made other plans, then hours later told it was open. Other than that, the beach was accessible, room was clean. It was a long drive into "downtown" (be careful, police look for speeders).

Overall good experience
Loved the view, furniture, club. Needed assistance with thermostat and was helped quickly. Housekeeping needs to do a better job, and some maintenance on outlets is needed but quality of space was nice for the price.
Great property in a great location if you are looking for beach time. It is a 20 minute drive to the hustle and bustle of downtown Galveston We were there with multiple family members all staying in this same resort. The amenities are very nice. The owner helped me to find flower shops so that I could surprise the anniversary couple. I very much appreciated the help as I had never been to Galveston. The property was clean, well appointed and had a gorgeous view!
Condo was nice, could have been a little cleaner. View on balcony was amazing. Super quiet when we were there. Could have had more kitchen supplies for cooking. So bring a cutting board, none there. The batteries in the tv remote were dead so had to use the ones in the bedroom. Small inconvenience but over all nice condo.
Plenty of room and we enjoyed the view of The Gulf of America. 2 complaints though: the door locking system needs revised. The electronic lock expects a senior to enter a strange 10 digit number in 10 seconds. Never got it to work. Thankfully managemen answered the phone and coached through getting a realtor type lock box open so we could use a key for our stay. The door to patio in living room needs repair. Extremely difficult to open and never were sure it was closed properly at night. Resolve those issues and it’s the pertect place to chill.

Decent condo, could find better
Decent condo! Nothing special and definitely has the bare minimum (not enough towels, 3 dishwasher pods, 3 laundry pods,2 trash bags, bare minimum kitchen utensils and cookware). Most annoying thing was the water/ice machine not working in the fridge, so you have to use sink water and ice trays. But the place was nice enough and we had a great time! Would we stay again? Maybe. But I’ll probably look for a nicer place at pointe west next time that’s owned privately. The pools are great and perfect for the family!
The property itself was very well kept and clean. There was plenty of natural light, but you could also make it dark enough to not be disturbed by it if you need to sleep.
9/10 on the home itself because there were no batteries in some of the remotes, the pillows were a bit old (so BYOP), and the overhead fan in the master was not working. Overall, a great experience. I would definitely book again.
My only complaint was that the clubhouse restaurant states that it closes at 9, but they actually begin to close the kitchen at 8:30pm , so plan accordingly, because most restaurants in the area close at 9 pm. Besides that,The food and drinks were very good and the staff was very friendly.

Wonderful stay! Can’t wait to go back!
We enjoyed the condo! It was very clean and relaxing! The bed in the owners suite was soo comfy! Great balcony with views of the gulf about 400 Yards away (not feet 😞 my oversight).
Only 3 annoyances to note were that the patio door was ajar when we arrived. It was hard to close due to door knob hanging off. My husband quickly fixed knob and it closed and locked after that. A couple of the blinds were not operational so you couldn’t take advantage of the great view from inside the condo. Lastly, the mosquitos were horrendous so be sure and wear repellant!
The west pointe resort was very pretty and landscaped very well! It was nice to have a designated parking spot in parking garage, an elevator and outside trash chute! There were plenty of long boardwalks that led right to the beach!

Liked: Check-in, communication, location
cheap and shabby
We have stayed at Pointe West a number of times. All good experiences. Love the location and the really nice units that we have rented. This is the first time we have been disappointed.
First problem was with the lock. We couldn't get in because the door lock was not working properly. Inside, the unit lacked any warmth. Decor was bland and dated. Furniture was shabby, dirty and poor quality.
The kitchen contained minimum with dishes and glassware. No mixing bowls. No cutting boards. Hardly enough for a week's stay.
Linens were ok. Not wonderful. Again, a minimum amount of effort for a rental. Beds were comfortable and well made.
There was no welcome book or list of instructions for operating the television, thermostat or appliances. Appliances were marginal. Icemaker didn't work. Oven was "iffy" with heat. We had to figure all out on our own, which we did.
The location of the unit is what was great. Nice view of the gulf. Quiet and peaceful.
There are several other units for rent at Pointe West that are same price category but better appointed, warmer and have better kitchens.
We would not recommend this place for rent unless the owners did something about the decor, appliances and
ovewrall appearance of the unit.

Great beach access, but the condo itself needs some work
I wanted to love this place, but the condo really needs some improvements before I would recommend it to anyone else.
The pros: great beach views, easy access to the beach, beach towels provided. The cons: The place really needs a deep-cleaning (including windows). The kitchen was grimy and I kept finding sticky spots on the table, fridge handles, and stove. Not very appealing for preparing food. There was also a red solo cup FULL of cigarette & cigar butts on the patio table upon arrival! I did let management know about these issues and they were responsive, but only time will tell if the condo is cleaned more thoroughly in the future.
Other than that, too many things are broken or in need of replacement. Almost all of the blinds are broken in some way, the kitchen faucet is missing a part, the ice maker doesn't work (& there are only two ice trays, so bring your own ice!), kitchen utensils are beat up, and we had to turn the living room ceiling fan off because it seemed like it was about to fly out of the ceiling!
Additionally, you simply need to bring too many things from home (a comfortable pillow, a cutting board, coffee filters, extra dishwasher detergent pods, etc.) for this place to be convenient.
Sidenote: Bring bug spray. Mosquitoes are AWFUL!
I will probably stick with a Sand 'n Sea Property from now on. They have always been well-stocked and spotless. I guess some guests have enjoyed this condo, but sadly we did not.
