Great Getaway

Despite having rain all weekend, we really enjoyed our stay! Beds and sheets were very comfortable. Kitchen had everything we needed. Great location and close to the club house. Loved the patio furniture. We wish the bathrooms would have been a little cleaner. Overall we would return and loved all of the little touches the owners thought of! Thank you!

Family getaway

After a busy weekend of competition in Houston, we drove to Galveston to spend the week at the Whale House. I could not ask for a better condo. It was beautiful, clean and you can easily tell that the owners have thought of everything in order to make the stay, one to remember. Buttery soft bed linens, plush towels, extra beach towels and a storage unit full of beach things (chairs, toys, wagon, etc). The complex/community has a ton of amenities and beach access is a piece of cake. We’ll definitely be returning here!

Fabulous! Perfect beach vacation rental!

This place has it all; beach views, comfortable beds, fully equipped kitchen, games and puzzles, beach chairs and shelter, pool access, short walk to the beach, etc. Beautifully decorated and comfortable. We loved every second of our stay! Our two families were happy with the two bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms. Our teens were comfortable in the bunk room. It was perfect for our two families of four. The second living area was perfect for kids to watch TV while the adults watched in the other area. Kitchen had everything we needed to cook breakfast, burgers, bake cinnamon rolls, brew coffee, etc. We will definitely stay here again!

The perfect vacation spot

This place is gorgeous, so beautifully curated and the abundance of family games, toys, towels, kitchen items and amenities is better than my expectations (and helpful to pack less!). We would definitely recommend and plan to return.

Great place to get away!

Stayed there over memorial weekend. Very nice condo, the host was very accommodating leaving us all sorts of treats/coffee/etc. We all had a blast and will be returning. You are required to pay extra for a wristband to use the pool/workout facilities, so that was silly, but otherwise no complaints. Also not much traffic there as it's a good 30 min south of Galveston.

Condo was absolutely perfect for our 2 families. The decor throughout the entire unit was amazing. Our kids enjoyed the adorable bunk beds, toys and books. The kitchen was stocked with any utensil we needed. It was beyond what we expected and made our trip unforgettable. The restaurant at the beach club was great, get the shrimp!

We are frequent renters at Pointe West and we were absolutely thrilled with the Whale House condo. We loved the decor and the comfiness of every room. They had everything thing we needed and really put attention to detail. If you have kids this is the place for you! Everything is thoughtfully provided for you.

Wonderful experience

We arrived to find the condo exactly as listed. It was like home away from home. Every little detail was thought of. We had a great time at the beach, as well as the pools. The restaurant on site, the Pointe was wonderful & a huge bonus to not have to load up in the car to get lunch/dinner. We would highly recommend this rental, and hope to rent it again when we return to Galveston.
