Photos and Description of the Galveston vacation house rental
4 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 4 Baths (Sleeps 8-11)

Count the Views is a tastefully decorated 4 bedroom/4 bath cottage in the newly constructed and luxurious Pointe West resort located on the west end of Galveston Island. This family friendly house is directly across from the beach walkover. With less than 150 feet away, it’s even closer than some of the beachfront homes! This home has 2 large private balconies with fabulous views of the beach and two community lagoons. It is located on a corner lot so there is extra lawn space to enjoy outdoor activities with your family.

This home has 3 king size beds and one room with 2 single beds and a trundle. There is also a queen size sleeper sofa. Linens are included with rental.

The gourmet kitchen is fully equipped and features granite countertops and stainless steel appliances. In addition to the basics, the kitchen has many extras such as large serving platters, food processor, large griddle, and waffle iron.

There are 5 televisions, 4 DVD players, and cable. The home also features a washer/dryer, high speed internet access, surround sound stereo, video game system, grill and outdoor cabana shower. The ground floor has a picnic table... a great place to relax and watch the kids play. It's also a convenient place to sit while unloading and cleaning off after the beach.

Both balconies have fantastic views of the beach, lagoons, large palm trees, and the beautiful Pointe West community. The bottom balcony has a large iron table and chairs and a marble top bistro table and chairs. The upstairs balcony is off the master bedroom. The house faces east so the balconies are shaded in the evening. It’s a perfect place to enjoy the breeze and listen to the sound of the waves!

In addition to beautifully groomed and wide beaches, guests enjoy all the amenities Pointe West resort has to offer. Amenities include large infinity edge pool, hot tub, lazy river pool, children’s pool, game room, fitness facility, organized resort activities, poolside bar and restaurant. The community also has kayaks and bikes available for rent. As of 11/1/11 the resort amenities are currently closed.

Wonderful family vacation

5 of 5
Submitted: June 7, 2012 Stayed: June 2012
The beach house was perfect for our family with 6 adults and 3 children under 8 years of age. The walkover to the beach was just across the street, which was perfect with the smaller children. The beds were very comfortable, which gave us all a good nights sleep-and afternoon naps! There was room for all of us to eat, either at the kitchen table or on the balcony, which is were everyone wanted to be because of the views and evening breeze. The property was everything it was advertized to be- and then some. Galveston seawall is close enough to the property so that if you want to drive to some of the other attractions, it doesn't take but about 20-25 minutes. We highly recommend this property if you are looking for a vacation spot in Galveston. Count The Views will be our first choice again next year for our annual family vacation in Galveston.

Our first experience, so a little tentative, with a VRBO, but ABSOLUTELY could not have been
happier. The home was beautiful, CLEAN, beds soooo comfortable. The grounds were very well kept,
and true to the writeup the beach was a short walk away--very very clean, The Infinity Pool was more
awesome than the pics. There were 8 of us in the home and we had lots of room. We have mainly stayed near the seawall area in Galveston for quick trips, so did not expect to find an area like this.
We felt like we were at a resort, somewhere far away. Owners were most accommodating and great
communicators. We can't wait for an opportunity to go back. The 5 TV's may be a bit of a stretch--
there were 2 large nice ones, but the others were a bit on the small size. Otherwise great experience!

Great Vacation

Count the Views was a wonderful home to stay at in Galveston. The house was exactly as described. Ten of us stayed at the house for 4 nights and we were all very comfortable and had plenty of room for the kids to play. The kitchen was well stocked and the beds were extremely comfortable. The walk to the beach was short and as always, the Pointe West beach was well groomed. We have stayed at several houses in this community and this was our favorite house by far. We would highly recommend this property!

We enjoyed our time at Count the Views. There were five adults and children ranging from 5 to 17 yrs. The property was clean and well maintained. The owner was helpful and answered our questions. The access to the beach is very good. I would recommend this property to a friend and relative. Point West Beach Club is also very nice.
