This is our fourth time to Pointe West and 2nd time to stay in a house. This house was great. Super close to the beach walkover, cute inside and overall a good space for a family of 4. Kitchen was nicely stocked with all the things you need to cook. Owners were easy to communicate with and responded quickly. Would definitely stay again. ##### Shawna G.

The house was great- very clean, well stocked, and just as described. The homeowner was easy to communicate with via text- asked ahead of time if we needed anything & even allowed us to stay later on check out day since there wasn't another arrival coming that day. Access to the beach was a very short walk & such a peaceful section of Galveston Beach (a real gem). Highly recommend this beach home! ##### shelly d. Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kelly H. 15 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great House & Great Location!!! We had a delightful stay at the beach house, which was not only charming but fully equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The access to Pointe West amenities added a touch of luxury to our vacation, and the short walk to access the beach was perfect for our crew! We spent the day basking in the sun and playing in the sand and our nights were filled with the excitement of crab hunting in the surf under the starry sky! It was a perfect (although too short) getaway for relaxation and family fun. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a beachside retreat! ##### Kelly H. Stayed 1 night in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Debra O. 17 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Relaxing Getaway! My husband and I had a wonderful and relaxing vacation at Hello, Sunshine! The house has all the amenities you could want and everything is neat and clean. The beach is so close and not very crowded. The two pools in the community are lovely and it is only a short drive to both of them. The restaurant at the infinity pool is a nice place for dinner if you don’t feel like going out. We highly recommend making a visit to Hello, Sunshine! We plan to visit again! ##### Debra O.

The home was very comfortable with an awesome AC! We have stayed in Pointe West before and love it. What I particularly loved about this Cottage is how close it was to the pond and we could see the birds and turtles right on our lawn. We also loved being about 3 houses from the Beach Crossover. Thank you, Lauren, for a great stay. We will be back! ##### Courtney C.

Love Pointe West. Utilized the Club House Pool Daily, Ice Cream Truck Visit, Beach was never too crowed. Cuteee house very clean and well maintained. We had enough space and everything we needed. 4th of July Golf Cart Parade was sweet and we could see fireworks from house. Definitely would stay again. Communication from owners was stellar. Loved it! ##### Michelle Y.
