Best vacation home ever! So clean and well stocked! The pools were very nice too! My parents were celebrating 60 years of marriage and it was perfect for our family get together!
This house is in the cutest community and is well stocked with all the necessary essentials! A few minor items need to be attended to (a toilet running, shower door sticking) but overall, just a lovely stay!

So glad you enjoyed your stay! We are the new owners and have addressed the sticking shower door and the running toilet. We also replaced the King and Queen mattresses! We look forward to your next stay with us!
Great location, everything you need for the beach and within easy walking distance to the waves. Golf cart was a big hit with the kids too! Second time staying here, already looking for the next time we can make it down!
Great place to getaway! Had everything we needed-walking distance to beach, beach toys, golf cart to get to pools, and pet friendly! Clean and nice house with view of the pond! Our family enjoyed the time together!
Beautiful community! Perfect for families, clean, and beautiful views. Everything was easy to access and the included golf cart was the perfe t addition.
The location was nice and quiet. The beaches were nearly deserted (yay!) in November. The golf cart was fun, but we didn’t really use it during our stay. Nice to have a rolling cart to lug beach toys down to the beach, which was about a 5 minute walk. The beds were comfy, but maybe a little bit saggy in the middle of the main bedroom’s mattress. All in all a good stay at the beach during a very quiet time!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It is has everything you could possibly need or want. It is convenient to all the amenities at Pointe West and to the beach. We love this area since it is not overcrowded with tourists like downtown Galveston.
Absolutely everything you could think of for the beach, they had it! Our only complaint was there wasn’t enough dish towels but that’s it. Everyone in our party had an absolute blast! Will definitely be booking here again!
WE LOVE THIS HOUSE and the wonderful communication
Everything was wonderful as always. We really like this because of the golf cart, and it is only 2 stories. It is very clean, and they have really fun toys and beach equipment for all ages.
Lovely family beach getaway. Perfect location walking distance to beach. Lovely views and neighborhood. Great clubhouse and amenities. Very cute ice cream truck servicing the area. House is spacious and clean with all you need to enjoy your stay. We will be back!
Really enjoyed staying at this house. We always love the beach club and come to this area annually. The golf cart made the stay extra fun this year. Everything was great and we will look to stay in this house again next year.
The reservation, check in and check out process was super easy! The property had every amenity we could possibly need to make our stay perfect for my parents, myself and my kids. The home was beautiful and we can’t wait to stay again this summer. Thank you again!

About the host
Hosted by Morgan Koon
We are long-time Houstonians with a love for Galveston. We enjoy fishing, golfing, birdwatching and playing tennis & pickleball. We grew up visiting the island and are so excited to continue those visits and traditions with our three children and numerous family members. We are also excited to host visitors to share our love for the island.
Why they chose this property
We chose Pointe West because it is the largest beach on Galveston Island and is uniquely situated between the beach and the bay. The community feels like a throwback in time to a simpler life where you can relax and enjoy the outdoors - from walks on the sidewalk or the sunset drives on the golf cart. Pointe West is a master planned community where you can enjoy a full resort experience on the less crowded part of the island.
