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, board games, bocce ball, croquette set, horseshoes, 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 and has 4 rocking chairs (2 adult and 2 kid sizes). 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, complimentary towel service, game room, fitness facility, organized resort activities, poolside bar and restaurant. The community also has kayaks and bikes available for rent.
