Great, clean, wonderful condo! The entire property is well maintained. We used the gym every day and it was always clean. Pool was heated on the colder days which was so nice. On property bar/grill is so cute and convenient. Having the ice machine on site was so helpful also. The condo was clean, maintained, and cozy. The couch could definitely be replaced and the master bedroom mattress could be replaced also. Otherwise we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Thank you for your kind review! We're delighted you enjoyed our property. We appreciate your feedback on the furniture and will look into replacing it. We hope to see you again soon.
Check in was difficult. Instructions not clear as to how to get to the parking, then the entrance, and then the room. A clear step by step process would be helpful instead of just relying on the address. There are several properties in the area and how to get to the correct parking lot with detail would be a good start.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We apologize for any confusion during check-in, the instructions are located inside the property guide we send prior to arrival. Your comfort is our priority.
Unit is outdated and has not been updated in a while it seems. The master bedroom bed is extremely squeaky to the point that it is the first few nights hard to sleep with. I had a baby in the room in a separate crib and we found a very distracting for the baby. We tried to fix it on our own, but couldn’t figure out how to make it stop squeaking. The dryer has to be ran multiple times to get a load dry. And the TV that’s in the family room does not have a Roku stick or any way to log into streaming apps which again was inconvenient for our family. Check-in was easy communication was good. Unit was cleaned just very outdated.
This is our 3rd time staying at this property and we will be back again! Can’t beat the beach access, pool, trolley to Baytown wharf village! So convenient and a great space for a family trip.

We are thrilled to know you and your son had such a wonderful time during your stay at unit 4801! Thanks for the review and we look forward to seeing you again soon.
We came for days as a "senior trip" with my son. We had other families reserve other units and it was a perfect set up and the private beach was great!

We loved our stay - can’t beat the location with private pool and beach access, and free tram to Baytowne wharf village. Plenty of space for me, my husband, 2 kids, and in laws! The rental company was responsive and helpful with any questions we had. This was our second time staying here and will be back!

Our stay was nice and relaxing! Westwinds is a fun place. Right on the beach and the pool was super fun. Condo was clean and roomy. The pool snack bar was great, but the cook didn’t show up on time a couple of days. Thanks for the nice beach stay!

We're so glad you had a wonderful time, Stacy! We are glad you enjoyed a relaxing stay at Westwinds! It's such a beautiful and convenient condo resort! We love that you enjoyed the pool and the beach as well as the snack bar when they were open. That's all up to the condo when that area is open, but we're glad you were able to enjoy that fun aspect of the condo's offerings! We hope you plan to stay with us again!
We were glad the condo was available for our trip. Most of the furniture probably needs to be replaced as well as the carpet; but this property worked fine for us as we spent most of our time on the beach.

This condo was amazing and made it feel like home and comfort, everything was good except water was cut off at midnight so nobody could really use the restroom or, take a shower or, cook or anything when needed so on a scale of 1-5 we would give it a 4! Love this condo.

Khemhong, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your wonderful feedback about your recent stay at our property. We truly appreciate you highlighting how amazing the property was and making it feel like home. We are delighted to hear that you found the rental to be so comfortable and welcoming. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused by the temporary water interruption you experienced. While we strive to maintain uninterrupted service, we want to assure you that Westwinds is equipped with a Halo sensor system, and it is very likely that this system was the cause of the brief outage. We deeply regret any discomfort this may have caused, and we hope that it did not significantly disrupt your overall enjoyment of your stay. We are very happy to know that despite this, your experience was comfortable, fun, and fabulous overall!

My family of 5 enjoyed this property! The check-in process was so easy. We loved the pool and how close the beach was. The balcony is spacious and has a beautiful view. It was nice to have 3 bathrooms and 3 bedrooms so there was plenty of space. When you arrive, there are welcome kits in each bathroom with toiletries and 1 in the kitchen with detergents. That was a nice touch!
