The Whale House 3BR/3BA Beach Front Condo Pointe West Galveston

A very nice long weekend in a very nice condo.

Stay was amazing

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!

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!

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!

The Whale was a beautiful property! Very clean, decorated in a beach theme and equipped with everything you should need! There were only a few housekeeping items that needed some attention. They are listed below! The microwave was not working properly. The fridge and freezer had a bit of a fish smell. The tv in the kids’ play area lost wireless connection halfway through our stay. The code to get in the condo did not work so we had to use and share the key with other family members. And last but not least, there were ants in kitchen and family room. Other than these items, it was wonderful! Perfect location and so nice to have access to the beach and to the Beach Club!

The Whale House was a great place to stay. We had everything we needed and more. The owners supplied chairs, wagons, sunshades and plenty of toys for our stay on the beach. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed to cook our meals. There was plenty of room for all seven of us to enjoy the TV in the living room and the dining room table where we ate and played games. The beds were very comfortable with nice linens We had amazing views off of both decks. The pool at the Beach Club was perfect in the evening and the hot tub was a nice way to relax after our stay on the beach. We all enjoyed ourselves so much that we will be back!

11 emails were sent from this mgt company prior to checking in which is quite ridiculous. We didn't see the invoice of paying an extra $25 per person to use the amenities on property so we didn't get to get the wristband from them until the front office opened the next morning. Budget that extra fee in and don't expect help after hours. We expected to eat on the property but the bar and restaurant was closed which was not disclosed. Pool was freezing cold (may) and closes at 10pm. This condos shower was not functional in our 3rd bathroom and maintainace man couldn't fix it. Wifi and tvs kept disconnecting. The fire alarms also went off, (fire fighters say they are out at Pointe West multiple times a day for fire alarms) but if you don't know that, this disrupts your stay. We called several numbers to get help on the shower and alarm, only emails were answered. Elevator was broken, - not fun to load up to leave climbing flights of stairs. There was long black hairs in bathroom and in our fresh sheets. Several dishes were dirty upon taking them out. Cleaning needs to be addressed a bit better. We will say, the unit was well equipped with everything you could need and we appreciated that, especially the coffee pods and creamer. The welcome snack basket was awesome. Thank you! We loved the balcony, floorplan and close walking proximity to the beach, although this beach is not very big with the dunes. Bring chairs, no dry sand. Pointe West community fell short this time

When i saw this property on the site i was impressed by the pictures. As i walked into the property it felts as of i was embraced with a hug saying welcome!! The thought and time that went into each detail of the aesthetics of this home was immaculately done. I absolutely LOVED and enjoyed being in this space. The balcony alone deserves its own separate review. The views are breathtaking. The breeze from the ocean as i slumbered on the lounge chair instantly caused me to snooze a bit. I can go on on and about a lot of intricate details like how comfy the beds were on down to the sofa. But I’ll spare you and sum it up by saying the pictures does this place no justice! It’s airy, spacious, comfortable, just absolutely beautiful! It will not disappoint. They had everything i needed for a home away from home vacay. Absolutely everything! Even though i provided my own things, i was still impressed on the extra unmentioned amenities and surplus of supplies that were available in the event i did need anything in which i did. I truly felt at home. I was truly impressed. Thank you for sharing the Whale and thank you for the OFF insect repellent because i wasn’t aware of the aggressive mosquitoes at night time! lol We had a blast and will return! Great Job!

The condo itself was perfect. The kitchen had every thing you need to to cook. We have three-year-old toddlers and they had so much fun playing with all the new toys. We didn’t even have to unpack theirs out of the car. The beds were very comfortable. I loved all the details of the decor. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
