Super well appointed home, lots of room. Really enjoyed the stay, we also added the golf cart to the rental which the grand kids loved. We used it to get to the pools and the beach. The hosts actively communicated with us about check in and check out, seamless. thanks!

Wonderful family vacation!
The cottage was clean and spacious, hosts were wonderful with correspondence and have thought of anything a family would ever need to kick back and enjoy a vacation (loved the extra blankets when we had chilly mornings and evenings). We loved the private hot tub, short walk to the ocean (with beach toys in the garage!), and the beautiful views from the balconies. The golf cart is a must, so fun- we loved taking it to the pools and evening rides watching the sunset! The entire resort/grounds are maintained beautifully, we enjoyed the Beach Club restaurant and cocktails at the pool :)

My Stay at Point West
I have stayed in this neighborhood about 12 times over past 4 years and we love it. Very relaxing and not crowed. I have stayed in at least 6 of the houses but 4114 Green Heron is by far my favorite. Super nice, super clean. The owners think of all the "little things" to make your stay awesome (blue tooth speakers, incredible downstairs patio with theater, Fire Pit, Firewood, Grills that work, hot tub, etc). The rooms are spacious and very comfortable and they have new beds that they actually spent money on! This is the only place I want to stay at for now on

A Great Island Getaway
Our 3 night stay was great. The home was easy to access and very clean and well appointed for our length of stay. We enjoyed the private beach which is within walking distance and also the hot tub in the evenings. We had everything we needed for meals we prepared there. The hosts thought of everything! We loved that every bedroom had its own full bathroom. Having full size washer and dryer was a huge plus too! The balcony areas were very inviting with the view of the water and the sea breeze. Overall a great place to stay! We loved it and look forward to staying again and would recommend it to others also.

Wonderful stay at It’s a Shore Thing
We had a great stay! The owners were wonderful and communicated very well. When we had an issue, they helped and took care of things as quickly as possible. The house is great and literally has everything you could need! You can seriously just pack your clothes and food and then relax, because they have everything else there for you, I mean everything. Having the hot tub was such a great bonus, as we could enjoy it after the kids went to sleep and have our parent “vacation” too. We’d absolutely stay again!

Absolutely Amazing Getaway Home
We had such an amazing time on Spring Break. From booking our reservation to all the small details that are covered that are taken care of for you it was totally stress free. If you have it at home they more than likely have thought of it and supplied it for you. We were so impressed with all the updates. Very happy with our experience and would highly recommend.

Beautiful Home with everything you need
We stayed here for a last minute end of spring break trip with our kids and grandkids. The house is beautiful and has everything you could need. The coffee maker in the main suite is a terrific touch. Lots of outdoor space to enjoy and the outdoor shower was a huge help with three toddlers coming from the beach. Definitely recommend adding on the golf cart. Hosts were helpful and attentive. Really an all around great experience with all the comforts you could possibly want. Hoping to come back when the weather warms up!

Much needed family getaway
Minus a few minor things, the property was simply perfect for our family vacation. The Pointe West area in itself is just beautiful and easy to access. It’s a Shore Thing is a very well-kept and well-thought-out home away from home. Every detail was carefully thought of; you can really feel the love the owners put into this place. While we never did get a chance to utilize the downstairs outdoor areas of the home, it too was well thought of. It was laid out very well and I wish we would’ve made time to enjoy it. That said, our overall stay was still very relaxing and enjoyable. The owners are very attentive and a pleasure to deal with. So different from other places we’ve stayed at before; we will certainly stay here again! -Very Happy Guests ☺️

Beautiful Home Close to the Beach
Jeff and Erin are great hosts. They have thought of everything. The home is amazingly clean. There are complete amenities: two Keurigs, excellent WiFi, cooking items, and beach toys. The home is close to the beach, but not right on the beach. I’d recommend using the golf cart (provided for a fee) or your vehicle if you have beach toys, chairs, tent, etc. the balconies are nice and overlook a neighborhood pond. The beach view is minimal, but slightly visible. The neighborhood is very nice and very safe. The kids loved the beautiful, spacious pool. Overall, it’s not an inexpensive endeavor, but would highly recommend this home.

Great Galveston Getaway!
My family and I recently stayed here for three nights. What a great quick getaway from Houston. The property and area is secluded and comparable to more expensive ones in Florida. The house was perfect for our group of 7. The hot tub, golf cart and extra features made the stay complete. We only wish we stayed for more days. We will be back. 100% recommend.

Staying at The Shore Thing
Erin is great to work with and helpful. Her house is comfortable and spacious. I was a little confused when looking at the website on how many bedrooms there were in the house. The house has three bedrooms with attached bathrooms. I would stay at her house again but would know that it only sleeps 7 plus anyone that might want to sleep on the couch.

About the host

Hosted by Erin & Jeff Newman

Host profile image
A little about the Newman Family...We have two daughters, Olivia (15) and Zoe (13). We love animals, and we have 3 dogs and 2 cats. Both of us grew up in Houston and met at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo in 2004. Jeff attended Bellaire High School (class of 1992) and Erin attended Memorial High School (class of 1994) and then moved to San Marcos to attend Southwest Texas State University. Erin now teaches at Elsik High School in Alief and Jeff owns Bellaire Towing and Harwin Auto Storage. We enjoy spending time as a family and traveling together, especially to the beach!

Why they chose this property

When we decided we were going to buy a beach house, we knew we wanted something that felt like a real home away from home; a place we could come and relax to get away from the hustle and bustle of Houston. We knew Galveston was the place because of the location and Pointe West is the hidden jewel of the west end! This house had everything we wanted, including the beautiful Beach Club and the most amazing beach neighbors!

What makes this property unique

We named our property, It's A Shore Thing, because when we bought it, we definitely felt that way! We walked inside and said this house has beautiful views, has plenty of space and it was just a short walk to dip our toes in the sand. We know it's a "shore" thing and we hope you'll feel that way too!
