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.

We'll be counting the views again!

Review Submitted: October 22, 2011 Date of Stay: October 2011
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

Review Submitted: August 26, 2011 Date of Stay: August 2011
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!

Enjoyed our stay

Review Submitted: July 22, 2011 Date of Stay: July 2011
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.

Great Home

Review Submitted: June 20, 2011 Date of Stay: June 2011
We had 2 large families stay at this home and we loved it. Great for families with lots of kids. Lots of room and we loved the 2 balconies. Kitchen is well stocked. We used both pools a lot, they are nice when you need a break from the ocean. Beach club has a bar/grill that was pretty good. We set up our beach chairs and umbrella on the first day and just left them on the beach the whole week so it was nice not carrying them back and forth each day, and no one messed with them. Alex Seafood Market is not far away, we got fresh seafood everyday. The home owner was easy to work with and I would recommend this home to others.
