Salty Air Retreat - Fabulous Beach Views - Brand New Elevator

Summary:
Fabulous 2 bedroom, 2 bath top floor beachfront condo! Sleeps 6!

The Space:
Looking for a quiet secluded place to get some much-needed "rest and relaxation", Best of the West is sure that Salty Air Retreat will fit the bill! This beautifully appointed, family-friendly 2/2 condo provides everything you need for a wonderful stay at the beach. Located on the 3rd floor, close to the Beach Club and an easy walk to the beach! A brand new elevator was installed Dec 2023.

Enjoy the modern fully furnished condo, with TV in the living area, WIFI & cable, fully equipped kitchen, washer/dryer, bath and pool towels provided, and all beds are dressed for your party. The Master bedroom has king size bed with a TV and ensuite bathroom, 2nd bedroom has a queen-size bed with a TV, and there is a pull-out sofa bed for two in the living room. Salty Air Retreat is the perfect refuge for your vacation getaway!

FOR FAMILIES & LARGE GROUPS - If you need more than one condo in order to accommodate your group, this is a PERFECT SPOT! Best of the West has another condo available on the first floor in this same building,  Sea Pointe, VRBO#499946, 2/2.

When you stay in a Best of the West home, all you need to bring is your clothes, sunscreen, food, and you! Best of the West provides basic consumables needed for your entire stay; paper towels, toilet paper, large & small trash bags, dish soap, dishwashing detergent, laundry detergent, hand soap, coffee, creamer, sweetener, coffee filters, first aid kit, and to make things easier, a luggage cart to help you pack and unpack from your car.

Guest Access:
You will be provided the door code, wifi code, and all other check-in information 2 days before check-in.

The Neighborhood:
Pointe West is an exclusive resort community on the western tip of Galveston Island. The beaches are clean and groomed regularly and they are by far the best on the island. The main clubhouse has a beautiful infinity-edge pool, hot tub, kid’s pool, cabanas, grills, gift shop, workout facility with lockers, and a game room. 

***AMENITIES FEE: Please note that you will need to obtain a wristband and access code from the Pointe West Beach Club to take full advantage of the community facilities (pools, gym, clubhouse game room, Basketball, and Pickleball courts). They charge $25 per guest 4 years old and older and are good for the entire length of your stay. This fee will be paid directly to the Beach Club upon registration.

(You will receive an email from the Pointe West POA to prepay the resort fee. The primary guest on your reservation will need to show an ID at the Beach Club Office to pick up the wristbands and parking passes.) *** Fees increased to $25/per person in 2023. The fee is not mandatory. If you do not plan to use the pools and other amenities during your stay, you do not have to purchase the wristbands, but you will need to get parking passes from the Beach Club. You can get free wristbands for use of the restaurant and bar.

The Pointe West Beach Club is a separate entity from Best of the West Galveston. Best of the West Galveston cannot guarantee the availability of any of the Beach Club’s amenities. Check the Pointe West Beach Club’s website for details.***

Getting Around:
You are only approximately 30 minutes from downtown Galveston, Schlitterbahn, Moody Gardens, the new Pleasure Pier, and all the other great attractions of Galveston.

Other Things to Note:
**Elevators, WIFI, and cable can be unreliable on West Galveston Island. We apologize, but Best of the West can not guarantee these amenities will be working during your stay at Pointe West and we are unable to offer refunds for disruption of these services.**

Clean with a nice view. Had no issues, so can't comment on owner response. New elevator proved to be smarter than us. :-) If you push buttons in wrong sequence, just wait awhile and it will reset.

Fantastic stay for Friends Weekend

This was a great place to stay for our annual Friends Weekend. The place was spotless and very well stocked. The pots and pans were in great shape, the towels were thick and soft and the beds were comfortable. Extra shoutout to James the property manager. He went above and beyond for us!

Great stay!

The only complaint that I have is that the VRBO service fee was not listed in our quote for pricing before we booked so it cost $200 more then we were expecting. Everything else was awesome!

Very relaxing vacation time

The unit is very nice and clean. Everything is organized and kitchen is very well equipped. Loved the privacy and cleanliness of the beach and enjoyed the green areas. James replied to my request as soon as he read ny message and that says a lot of a host that really cares about the guests. I really had a great time and will come back. Thanks for everything.

Great stay at Salty Air Retreat

We had a great time at the Salty Air Retreat! It was close to the beach and had a great view. The living room had great decoration making it feel like home with pillows and blankets. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook and the dining room allowed for 6 guests. The only downfall was the initial musty smell, which disappeared after we increased the AC to remove the humidity. The property manager was very attentive, quickly retuning text messages and/or calling. He even provided tips for grocery store locations. We would love to visit again!

Great condo

Our second stay here and the condo does not disappoint. Only negative is one towel per person. Having to do a load of towels every day is not what I want to do on vacation. Unfortunately the killer swarm mosquitoes on the property will keep us away from pointe west. Was hoping this year would be better, but it was not.

Great condo!

Condo was great! Would definitely stay again. Great view of the beach. Beach was almost empty the whole time and had the clearest water we have seen in 6 years coming to Galveston. My only suggestion would be darker curtains so we could sleep in on vacation! But that is just personal preference. Property negatives- the bar and grill was closed for renovations and we were not informed and it does not show on the website. Very disappointed. The mosquitoes were almost unbearable all over the property.

Very noisy

Condo was great views excellent however due to construction/renovations man lifts beeping from 8 am till 5pm paint Machines and drills etc going all around us we spent as little time as possible in condo. Had we have been advised when booking that major work was going on we would never have booked. Very disappointing in view of it was our 55 wedding anniversary celebration!!
