4 Bedroom Cottage in Pointe West, Galveston. 2 Resort Pools. No cars on beach

GVR07427

“The Rosy Spoonbill” is excited to welcome you to the best community in Galveston and our very comfortable home with serene views and amenities galore.

We are just one short block to the wide, groomed beach and a half mile from the Pointe West Beach Club. The Beach Club Pool and The Sunset Pool with lazy river and hot tubs are open 365 days a year and boast beautiful views of the ocean and the bay. These pools and the golf cart and bike paths are sure to make Pointe West your favorite place to stay on Galveston Island!

We use our home often and keep it well stocked for cooking and entertaining guests.
Just bring your swimsuit and clothes and enjoy our little slice of heaven.

We can direct you where to rent Golf Carts, Kayaks and Bikes should you want to fully experience island life while you are here. You are going to love it! (We also rent our 4-seater Golf Cart, to licensed drivers only, when available.)

***RESORT 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 resort facilities (pools, gym, clubhouse game room, Basketball and Pickle ball courts, restaurant and bar). They charge $25 per guest 4 years old and older for the entire length of your stay. This fee will be paid directly to the club upon registration. *** (You will receive an email from the Pointe West POA to prepay for your wristbands. 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.) ***Wristband 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. If you do not plan to use the resort amenities but do want to dine at the restaurant, you can attain restaurant-only wristbands at no charge, but you still need to be registered.***

The Pointe Restaurant & Bar is back by popular demand. They offer poolside service whenever possible and are open Tuesday-Sunday during the Summer and Thursday-Sunday after Labor Day. Closed Mondays except on Holiday weekends. Make sure you take advantage of their delicious food and fun drinks and enjoy a Live Band every Saturday night in the Summer.
(Please note that The Pointe Restaurant is delicious but seasonal! It closed after September 7 for remodeling and will open in March 2026.)
The Pointe West Beach Club is so much fun! Please check out the website for more details and the event calendar.
The pools and hot tubs are open 365 days a year! The Sunset Pool on the Bayside (aka The Lazy River) is heated during the Fall and Winter for your comfort. That is what makes this resort unique!


Sommer Gifts: The gift shop at Pointe West Beach Club has beach toys, goggles, toiletries and basics as well as tons of fun Beach Fashion, home decor and accessories at wonderful prices. They have bottled sodas, chips, and ice cream, too. Please stop by and say “Hi” to Alice and see all of the treasures packed into her tiny shop. If you forgot something, she probably has it! The gift shop is open 7 days a week during the Summer and Friday-Sunday during the mid season and closes for winter.

Other nearby restaurants:

The West End Marina @ Sea Isle;
There is a Food Truck Park in Sea Isle during high season.

Way West Grill, Nate’s Seafood and Steaks, Pariah Coffee, The Galvestonite Bistro, and Venado's Mexican restaurant in Jamaica Beach.

Waterman's Seafood, Mario's Italian, and Cooper's Landing in Pirate's Beach.

(No more tolls to cross the bridge!)

You will be delighted with Pointe West and our home if you haven’t tried us yet! Book Now!!


***Please note the seasonal restaurant is closed as of September 7 and will re-open for Spring Break 2026. Gym and Game-room renovations almost complete.***

Pointe West Activities:

-Make sure to check out both pools. The main Beach Club pool is on Pointe West Boulevard. This pool has The Pointe Restaurant and Bar (open seasonally) and offers poolside service and live music on Saturday nights in the Summer. The Sunset Pool, also known as the Lazy River Pool, is on Estuary on the Far West End of the neighborhood and on the Bay side. Be sure to see a sunset from there! This is the BYOB pool as there is not a café there. You can take your own food to both pools if you desire—Just no alcohol to the Beach Club.

-The largest fishing pier and the kayak launch/mowed entry area for wade fishing are on Bay Water Drive. There is also a fire-pit there.

-An Ice cream truck comes through Neighborhood and to the Lazy River pool daily during high season. (He does take credit cards.)

-The Basketball Court is on Cat Tail Drive. (Daylight hours only; access with wristband code.) Bring your Basketball. We have one in our beach gear closet and an air pump, but, if you are avid players, you will want your good ball.

-Pickleball Court is located near the Basketball Court. Reserve your time and rent Racquets in the office.

-I recommend renting a Golf Cart because it is just fun to have one in Pointe West. We rent our 4 seaters starting at $250/each for a long weekend and up to $400/each for the week (tax included.) If you want a 6-seater, Try K-6 Island Sports, Rick's, or GalvestonCarts.com. K-6 also rents kayaks and Stand-up Paddle Boards that you can use on the bay side and in the ocean on a calm day.

-There are bikes for rent for 2 hour intervals from the Beach Club.


House Information:

-Our beach storage closet is stocked! Chairs, umbrellas, tent, wagon, toys, floats and a couple of child life jackets and puddle jumpers.

-Please rinse off toys and beach gear on your last day before returning to the closet. We would so appreciate it if you leave the storage closet semi-organized for the enjoyment of the next guests. It can get jumbled in there!

-We do provide beach towels. Please wash,dry, fold those on your last day to avoid a surcharge. The housekeeper takes care of ALL other laundry.

🏝 The Boardwalk over the dunes is at the end of our street about 8 houses away.

-Please rinse off in the outdoor shower when returning from beach. Our furniture and floors and DRAINS do not like that much sand!


**Please know that we do utilize EXTERIOR cameras for security. This is for your safety and ours! We do not use INTERIOR cameras. Thank you for understanding and respecting our property!**
No unauthorized pets nor parties.

You will have access to our cell phone numbers after booking is completed. When it gets closer to your stay and during your stay, we prefer to communicate through texting and our cellular so we are not dependent on the WiFi working.

Amazing Family Friendly Vacation

The Rosy Spoonbill did not disappoint! We had some bad weather but the owners were extremely accommodating. They have every streaming service you could want for movies or games. The home was a great layout for our 3 families to comfortably stay and was not lacking in supplies. The golf cart rental was a huge plus and the amenities within the community were so fun. All in all a great stay that we would absolutely do again! Thank you Rosy Spoonbill for a fun summer getaway!

Wonderful House for our Family

We all enjoyed the house very much! We cooked everyday vice going out. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed. We got the golf cart which was very helpful when going to the Beach Club. We had a short walk to the beach. The last day we rented a canopy which we asked to be placed behind the Beach Club. It was great!! I would highly recommend this beach house!

Best stay ever! Highly recommend this home!

Our family enjoyed everything about this property! Courtney - our host, went above and beyond to make our stay special and so fun. The home was equipped with everything you could imagine. We cooked our meals in because of all the little ones and the the kitchen was well stocked with pans, utensils, dishes, cleaners, etc. We were very close to the uncrowded pedestrian beach and the beach closet was loaded with chairs, toys and beach fun for our use. Then if we got tired of the sand, we hopped on the golf cart or in the truck and were two minutes from the beautiful resort with pools and amenities. The beds were so comfy and everything was spotless. This was a perfect location for a family getaway in a beautiful, quiet, and super friendly neighborhood. We can't wait to go back! Thank you Courtney!

We had everything we needed to enjoy the beach, everything we needed to prepare our meals, everything we needed to keep all the Munchkins and the adults entertained and content. And plenty of space, and balconies and bathrooms to maintain our sanity. Our hosts were amazing. The attention to detail in anticipating pur needs without being there with us is a wonder to behold.

The host was quick to respond to questions we had about the house and the surrounding area. The place was clean and the pantry had all the basic essential items. There was a good amount of pots and pans for cooking.

Best Beach Getaway

The Rosy Spoonbill house was just the perfect getaway for our family. We had plenty of room for everyone and so much is available to use at the house that it made our packing easier. Every balcony had a fantastic view and so relaxing. We used the provided gas grill also while visiting. We had every kitchen item we needed plus a ton more. It’s a very short drive to the Beach club, private beach or public beach access. Response was quick when I had a question. We would love to visit again !

Fun family vacation

The house was clean and really well stocked! The kitchen was stocked with all sorts of spices, etc and just about any pan or utensil you could possibly want! They also have a stock of sunblock, etc. My only complaints are that the we had issues locking the front door and that our reservation with the beach club was messed up. Also, just FYI, all bedrooms except the bunk room are downstairs and the kitchen and living area are upstairs. This was a bit of a problem for a family member with some mobility issues but we made it work. The owners were very friendly, accommodating, and reasonably quick to respond to text messages. I recommend this place!

Best Galveston house we’ve been to!

The house was clean, as advertised, well stocked, and we loved having a bathroom with each bedroom. Courtney was a delight to communicate with and super helpful. I did a girls’ getaway for a few days that led into a multi-generational family trip and the house was perfect for both! We liked being able to go to the Pointe West pools, the game room, and play pickle ball and basketball. The house is an easy walk to the beach if your crew is able to walk any distance and/or carry all the things over the boardwalk bridge, which is just down the street. You cannot drive on to the Pointe West beach, but just a quick jaunt down the highway is a drive-on portion. You can drive to the pools via the highway, but in my opinion, a golf cart is easy and fun if you want to go back and forth since they’re on the opposite side of the resort (we rented a cart from Rick’s and had a wonderful experience). We will absolutely stay here again!

Thanksgiving Getaway

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Rosy Spoonbill for the Thanksgiving holiday. The home was plenty big enough for 6 adults and 6 children, 8 and under. The home was clean, and the kitchen was stocked with just about everything we needed for meal prep and serving! In addition, they supplied travel cribs for the little ones and a baby gate for safety. It was a short walk to the beach and we enjoyed being able to get to Galveston easily while being 'outside' of all the tourist hustle and bustle. Courtney was an excellent host and responded to all our questions/concerns promptly. We would definitely recommend the home to others and will stay there again when in the Galveston area.

Great place for a family vacation

Our entire family had a great time at this house. The beach was enjoyable without the feeling of overcrowded. It was a little bit of a walk down but not too bad. The house was tremendously well-stocked. We have had homes where you have to bring your own cups and plates if you have more than 5 ppl, so this was just such a delight. Everything was taken care of and the hosts were fantastic. They communicated well and were prompt to respond. The porches were nice to sit on in the evening. We always drove to the clubhouse, but it wasn't very far. The hosts even had a packnplay for my 1.5yr old and a stair guard that we could put up for her safety. Overall - a wonderful stay was had by our entire party. And the hosts made is such an easy and fun trip - cheers to them. One small note - The upstairs room does get a little warm but they provided some additional fans.
