Amenities and Additional Notes:
Pointe West Beach Club Access Fee: Guests who want to use these amenities (pools, hot tubs, fitness center, gameroom, etc) must pay a $25 per person Resort access fee. This covers your entire stay (it is not a daily fee) and is paid directly to Pointe West. It is not included in or covered by the fees quoted to you when making your reservation and is not required if you are not using the additional amenities. If you are only going to the Restaurant & Bar and not using all of the other amenities, there are restaurant only wristbands provided free of charge.

Elevators & Accessibility: The condos at Pointe West were built with accessibility in mind with wide doorways and elevator access in each building. However, the elevators in every building (including ours) are at times in-operational and cannot not be relied on solely- please take note if someone in your party is unable to climb stairs.

Other Things to Note:
Here for the beach time? We've got everything you need for beach fun in our outdoor storage closet with items our guests can use free of charge including: a large wagon, beach canopy, boogie boards, beach chairs, crab traps/nets, pool toys, and more.

Interaction with Guests:
"Above the Waves" is located in the closest building for easy access to enjoy all of the Pointe West amenities. During your stay, walk right next door to the Beach Club to find the infinity swimming pool (with poolside food/drink service!), wading pool, large hot tub, restaurant and bar, game room, fitness center, and boutique gift shop. Close by you'll also find brand new pickleball and basketball courts, a catch and release pond, and even bikes to rent during your stay. Ready for a change of scenery? Across the way you'll also have access to an additional heated pool, lazy river, and hot tub all overlooking the incredible bay side sunsets

Terrific beach getaway
Terrific beach condo. Great location with a short, easy walk to the beach. Wonderful, expansive view from the balcony. Unit was comfortable, well appointed, and had a full locker of beach gear to borrow.

Convenience and everything you need!
Owners were extremely generous, attentive and kind. Location of property which was close to beach and close to beach club was convenient! Large porch overlooking the beach was beautiful. House and beach locker were stocked with everything you’d need! Especially convenient was the use of owners’ numerous beach towels. Wonderful weekend!

Great spot by the pool
Loved the location but door lock was overly difficult. We had another condo during the same stay and that was very easy to use. Our parents are in their 80’s and had college age grandkids with them. None of us could get that lock / password to work. Had to resort to one real key for 6 people. Otherwise, great place!!!!

Paradise on the Gulf
Above the Waves exceeded all my expectations! We have vacationed at Pointe West for five years. Above the Waves out-scored all the other condos, hands down! The owners were wonderful to work with, the home was beautifully appointed, it was sparkling clean and everything we could have possibly wanted or needed was at our fingertips for our use. The view from the balcony was amazing! Already looking forward to 2024 at Above the Waves! Sheryl L
