Pointe West Beach Club
The home includes access to the Pointe West Beach Club, which includes pools and hot tubs over two locations, a lazy river, wonderful restaurant, bar, and game room. Access to the beach club is $25 per person (for your entire visit), wristband and door codes provided when you check in to the Beach Club. The resort features the widest, most beautiful beaches in Galveston as well as the beach club swimming pools and hot tub facing the beach, a fitness center, game room, corn hole and gift shop.
A basketball court is a short walk or quick golf card ride past the beach club. A short ride to the bay side allows you to visit another pool, lazy river and hot tub.
Please be aware that we do allow guests to bring dogs (2 or less of any size) and we have dogs of our own that occasionally come to the home so if you have severe pet allergies please take note.
We have a security system with a doorbell camera at the front entrance. There are 2 other exterior cameras on the property that are not monitored.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Kristen Cummings

We live in the Denver Metro area with our daughter (9) and son (7). Between my husband and I we have lived in states coast to coast and a handful in between. We love to travel and after many years of only booking through vacation rental sites for our travels we decided to embark on the journey of vacation rental ownership ourselves. Being in a landlocked state we were in search of a property near the water. We fell in love with the house and how peaceful it felt and that we could bring family and friends to spend time with us. We have enjoyed visiting Galveston soaking in the sun, fishing in the Bay, exploring the history of the island and the thrills of the Iron Shark at Pleasure Pier. We hope that you find something new to try and that you will be back many times over.
