Enchanting Beach House

This was a truly wonderful place to stay. I was able to see both the sunrise and the sunset from the back porch and really enjoyed the time in the swing listening to the waves. The Pointe West neighborhood is well kept, quiet and has two really nice beach clubs that you can pay to get access to. Inside the house, there are three "master" suites and two kids room. The kitchen is well stocked with beautiful appliances and pans. Our host was helpful, communicative and the property manager was there when we needed her. Overall, this was a fantastic experience!

Perfect 4 generations getaway!

The home was perfect for out family which ranged from 5 mos to 83. Plenty of space and we loved waking up to the beautiful sea view. Every appliance one could think of was provided in the excellently well equipped kitchen. The girls had a great time picking out beach toys and which umbrella to use. The walk was not too long. Our 5 night stay was just too short. We hope to return soon!

The accessories downstairs in the room are plentiful, bicylcle, surf boards, sand toys, chairs, etc....its all their and well kept. Porches off all bedrooms with plush chairs and sitting areas provided. The kitchen is a knock-out. Everything you would possible need is at your fingertips. We "just love this home" and hope to stay their again. Thank you Kay and Raymond for your most pleasant accomcodatiosn and your friendly communication.

Fantastic family vacation

The Lightcatcher house in the Pointe West community was the perfect set up for our annual 4 generation vacation! The house was beautiful, well equipped for cooking for a large family as well as everything you need to enjoy the beach. Every room has an amazing view! There was even baby gates to keep the toddlers safe from the stairs and a small napping room with a crib. I highly recommend renting a golf cart to cruise around the community to one of two pools, pickle ball courts and beach club! The bikes provided were also a fun way to explore the neighborhood in the evening! We hope to be back in the future!

Pointe West Beauty

We had a wonderful time at Lightcatcher even with the high winds all week. We had 10 of our family there- 5 children and 5 adults. With 3 kings, bunk room and 2 twins, the bedroom set up was perfect. The kitchen was beautiful and extremely well stocked. The house and deck has a spectacular 180 degree waterfront view which you never tire of. With 5 cars and an 8 passenger golf cart we had plenty of parking space. Pointe West has tremendous amenities ranging from 2 pools, lazy river, restaurant and rec room. Kay was so helpful prior to our arrival providing house info, Galveston restaurants and activities for the kids. Thanks for being such a wonderful host!

Super family reunion

My children and teenage grandchildren enjoyed this beautifully decorated home with space for all. The views from every angle are superb. The kitchen is a chefs delight with space for more than 1 cook. The cooking utensils and serving dishes accommodated our various types of prep. and service. Decks are huge and all around the home - even off the bedrooms on 3rd floor. Great Place and it really is a LIGHTCATCHER.

THE BEST RENTAL EVER!!!

I cannot imagine finding a better beach house than this one (Lightcatcher)! It had everything you would ever need for a fabulous family vacation. From a VERY well stocked garage with all sorts of fun things for the beach to a beautiful gourmet kitchen with everything you would need for cooking. The bedrooms were gorgeous and oh so comfortable. It even has a little room with a crib for our little one. We will DEFINITELY be back here again. The hosts were quick to respond to any questions we had. Really, just bring your beach towels, swimsuits and food and you will have a blast! No other beach house has been this nice and we have stayed in many!!!

Best VRBO Stay Ever

This is hands down the best VRBO we have ever stayed at. The property is beautiful inside and out and the location was perfect. There truly are ocean views from every room. The furnishings are upscale and well maintained. You can tell right away that the owners care about their house. Kay is terrific owner. She is very responsive and truly cares about your stay experience. From the kitchen to bathrooms to the outdoor shower (excellent place to shower off sandy grand kids.), we loved the house and hope to stay again in the future.

This was our 7th year to stay at this beautiful property. Property is immaculate and offers many amenities for the whole family. Close to the beach, Beach Club and lazy river. We've watched our grandchildren grow up at this property and have made memories to last a lifetime here. Owners are very responsive and easy to work with. I'd give this property 10 stars if I could.

LOVED Our visit to Galveston!

We spent Thanksgiving in Galveston with our family (6 adults). We really enjoyed this beautiful, well appointed home. Lovely, wide ocean views and a very easy, short stroll to the beach. Everything was included to prepare a holiday meal (we love to cook). Kay was very friendly, hospitable and accommodating, with excellent communication, could not ask for a better host. There were lots of beach accessories included in the garage and we utilized the beach wagons & chairs for a few days of fishing on the beach, right behind the house. We caught lots of Whiting and really enjoyed the beach, which was never crowded. The beds and furniture were comfortable and the open family room off the kitchen had lots of light and was the perfect space to relax. It’s a bit of a drive into town, but the quiet, peaceful location was perfect for us. We will absolutely stay here again! Thank you, Kay!

perfect for families with young children

We had a great time at this house with two young families and children (infant and 2 toddlers). The house itself is spectacular compared to your more traditional beach houses with a more updated appearance and upscale amenities. It is very child friendly for young kiddos - the baby crib room was great and they have a gate for the stairs to keep everything safe. Anything you could ever need for the beach is available to use in one of the garages beneath the house (tent, chairs, toys, wagons, boogie boards, etc). Plus the amenities you get access to via Pointe West (pool, lazy river, restaurant) were also a nice separate activity to take the kids to if we didn't want to do the beach. Lastly the owners/property managers were very responsive to last minute questions we had in the days before our trip. We had a great time and will definitely keep this setup in consideration when we plan our next trip.

About the host

Hosted by Raymond Gabrysch

We have rented beach houses in Galveston for the past thirty years. When Pointe West opened we began renting there and never again went anywhere else. We decided that this was the place we would finally build our own home. That dream was realized in early 2015 when we moved into this gorgeous home built by one of Galveston's finest builders. We are delighted to share it with you and hope that your family makes wonderful memories there.
