Pointe West is a beautiful community and far enough from the town that the beach was not too crazy crowded. The condo we stayed in lovely. It was clean, fully stocked, and a better than the pictures. We were very close to the lazy river, so that was a nice break after a day at the beach. I will definitely try to stay there again.

Thank you Kristin for your 5-star review of Time Away! We are glad you had a wonderful stay and enjoyed this well appointed vacation rental. Guests love being next to the lazy river/bayside pool and the amazing sunsets over the bay at night, which can be viewed right from the private balcony. We hope you visit again and look forward to seeing new guests soon at Time Away! Your friends at Pointe West Vacation
Thank you for your review, Juan, we are glad you enjoyed your stay at Time Away. The perfect spot for sunsets, relaxing and Time Away! Hope we will see you again this summer! Your friends at Pointe West Vacation
Great views all around. Very relaxing getaway location. The only issue was one of the bunk beds top bunk was not functional. We did not need that bed so it was not a problem

So glad you enjoyed the views, this is the perfect location for those famous Galveston sunsets! The Bayside is perfect for relaxing and steps away from the lazy river pool. We are sorry about the one top bunk. We had just placed new bunk beds in that morning and the parts for the upper connection were missing. That is all set and ready for your next visit. Hope to see you again! Your friends at Pointe West Vacation
A perfect little oasis. Far enough from the main drag so that the beach wasn’t overcrowded, but close enough to restaurants and grocery stores to not feel stranded. The property was a bit of heaven, located near one of the pools and just a short drive to the main pool and beach access. Plenty of room, clean and cozy. Highly recommend.

So glad to hear you enjoyed your “Time Away”! It is the perfect place for some rest and relaxation. Hope you were able to enjoy the beautiful sunsets from the spacious patio. Thanks for your review/recommendation and come visit again soon.

The Condo was so close to the pool, which was really nice. The only complaint was that the pool area closed at 10pm even on the weekend. We would have loved another hour or so to hang out at night when the sun went down. The Condo was well stocked and had everything we needed. We all had a good relaxing time. LOVED the big deck outside.

Thank you Katie for taking time to review. We are so glad you enjoyed your time away at "Time Away". Well loved for the amazing sunsets from the spacious and private balcony and it's location to the Bayside/Lazy River pool. Being a more peaceful community the management company feels 10p allows those that want to turn in early quiet time. Though I do see where an extra hour especially on the weekends would be fun! We have forwarded your feedback to that office. We hope to see back again sometime and look forward to welcoming new guests to Time Away. Your friends at Pointe West Vacation
TimeAway nearly perfect except for facility charge.
This three bedroom condo provides great views on a covered deck where there is plenty of room for 6-8 adults to socialize. Kitchen big enough to prep a meal as a family and table large enough for all to gather around. Great location next to the Bayside pool and hot tub. Clean, spacious, easy to check in. I think Pointe West does a money grab charging 15 bucks a person to use the facilities that we are renting on. But that is the only negative.

Thank you Matt for your review. Time Away is a large spacious condo and as you mentioned plenty of room for everyone to enjoy; whether inside enjoying a meal or games or outside on the spacious covered balcony. Time Away is beautifully appointed with many extra touches. Being next to the pool and hot tub is always a fun bonus. We try to make vacation easy for our guest. Thank you for sharing your feedback on the Beach Club facility charge. We have shared that with the Community Manager. Please know that those facilities and charges are not controlled by us but do provide the "Vacation Resort" fun our guest enjoy. Love to see you again! Your friends at Pointe West Vacation
Cute, comfortable condo. The kitchen had everything we needed. Rooms, bathrooms, and living room was nice. Umbrellas, beach chairs, boogie boards, and kid floats were there for us to use. We loved all the kid-items: kid utensils, basket of kid toys, bathroom kid stool, pack n play, kid table on the patio, and out-of-kids reach lock on the patio door.
Maintenance/management were great. We had a clogged drain and they came to fix it quickly.
This was our first visit at pointe west, after trying other areas on Galveston island and the Bolivar peninsula. We loved it! We will definitely be back!

Thank you for your review Casey, we are so pleased you enjoyed Time Away; a perfect retreat for those looking to relax with family and friends. Well appointed, located near the lazy river pool area (perfect for the kiddos) and on the bayside! The bayside is perfect for those that like amazing sunsets, fishing/crabbing, walking, bird watching and much more. We welcome your family back and look forward to welcoming future guests for some "Time Away". Your friends at Pointe West Vacation
We were so comfortable in our space. It was well stocked, clean and had everything we needed for cooking. We liked that we had two trash cans and one had a lid. Our sunset views were spectacular in the evenings and we did manage to catch a sunrise view one morning equally spectacular. We had no problem working the large TV in the living room. There were TVs in each room but we used the large one at night to watch our favorite game shows. We enjoyed having access to the lazy river at night to take another swim with the kids. There was great communication with our point of contact.

It was out pleasure to host your family at Time Away on the bayside; the perfect place to capture sunsets, enjoy serenity and soak up the scenic bay views. Time Away is well appointed and provides quick access to the bayside/lazy river pool; a favorite with the kids for sure. We look forward to welcoming guests to Time Away.

Our son is stationed in the Coast Guard in Galveston at the other end of the Island. When we were looking to book a place, he mentioned down in this area. After reading several reviews and what people complained about, I finally decided on this place. It did not disappoint. Other than a rolling pin to make our son an apple pie it had everything we needed to make him some home cooked meals that he had been missing. I’d say the only complaint was the office hours to pick up the bracelets and passcode for the pools. Not sure how long our son will be stationed there, but if long enough that we come back, we would definitely try to stay in this unit again. Both sunrise and sunset views were amazing.

Thank you for your review Juliann and for your son's service. So glad you were able to enjoy a visit with him and make him some home cooked meals; which I am sure he did miss. We are appreciate you giving us a try. Time Away strives very hard to provide an amazing getaway; from their well appointed accommodations to the balcony furniture to watch those amazing sunsets. We have shared your feedback with the Beach Club offices; feedback we feel is always helpful. We do hope you visit again. Your friends at Pointe West Vacation
We loved our stay. The Condo was perfect for us. We really enjoyed the balcony. We rented a Golf Cart to run around on the property and had a great time. Property was very maintained and beautiful. Beach was very clean and the water was great. Will be back again

Thank you Jessica for your reply, so glad Time Away was a perfect vacation spot for your family. Time Away is right at the Lazy River and the unit is well appointed with everything you need for a great vacation. I hope you had a chance to catch some of those amazing bay sunsets from the large, private balcony? Sounds like you enjoyed "roaming" the community with your golf cart rental! Look forward to having you back soon! Your friends at Pointe West Vacation
The pictures don’t do this place justices! It’s so nice and spacious! The oversized balcony was my favorite spot. I loved being by the lazy river pool! It was a very easy check in process and a great relaxing stay! We will defiantly be back!
Thank you for your review of Time Away! I hope you enjoyed some of those amazing Galveston Island sunsets from the large, private and spacious balcony. Time Away is in a prime spot, on the bay side, for those looking to be near the Sunset pool with the lazy river and seeking scenic views. We hope you join us again soon and If you fish or crab the Bayside is your place. Don't forget your poles. Your friends at Pointe West Vacation

Grandkids first beach visit
The floor plan was amazing! The view from the balcony was beautiful but I would have preferred an ocean view. The location to the beach club was less than perfect so my suggestion is not to take children to this particular location if you plan on using the beach club amenities. Quite a hassle to go back and forth. Also disappointed the gate to the pool nearest our condo on property remained locked. Had to walk around pool to gate on other side. Therefore, my 81 year old mother couldn't make the walk to the pool. Overall, I loved the condo. Location not so much but will definitely book again at a more convenient location.

Thank you for your review of Time Away, located on the “sunset” bayside of the community. The perfect location for those that seek serenity, convenience to the lazy river and the amazing island sunsets. Located across the way from the beach club area, easily accessed by car or golf cart with parking provided for both, less than 2 minutes away! Time Away offers an amazing floor plan, beautifully decorated and plenty of space for family bonding. We do hope to see you again soon. Your friends at Pointe West Vacation
Great location next to lazy river pool. I would recommend renting a golf cart to go to the beach or the beach club

Yes the location to the Sunset aka the Lazy River Pool can't be beat. I hope you also got to view the amazing sunsets on the bayside. Golf carts are always a fun way to zip around our grounds and enjoy both side of Pointe West. We hope you come back soon! Your friends at Pointe West Vacation
It was very clean, and it had everything that we needed in the kitchen to make meals for a family of 6. The property was clean and communications were very clear. Property managers were responsive to questions and concerns. Would definitely come back. Perfect location relative to lazy river pool and easy 20 minute walk or quick drive to beach.
The property was great! It was not our first time at Pointe West, but our first time at this unit. It is in an ideal location to the pool, and a short drive to the Beach Club. It has a great view of the bay and the beach. The property was well stocked with every extra for my family to enjoy their vacation.
Thank you John for your stay and review at Time Away. We hope you had a wonderful vacation. Your friends at Pointe West Vacation
