Wonderful family vacation!

The cottage was clean and spacious, hosts were wonderful with correspondence and have thought of anything a family would ever need to kick back and enjoy a vacation (loved the extra blankets when we had chilly mornings and evenings). We loved the private hot tub, short walk to the ocean (with beach toys in the garage!), and the beautiful views from the balconies. The golf cart is a must, so fun- we loved taking it to the pools and evening rides watching the sunset! The entire resort/grounds are maintained beautifully, we enjoyed the Beach Club restaurant and cocktails at the pool :)

Great beach stay!

We had a fantastic stay! The house is clean and comfortable with everything you need to have a great stay. We loved the spacious patio (and comfortable outdoor furniture) off the master bedroom, the fully equipped kitchen, the grills and fire pit and all the essentials for the beach. We’ve stayed in the Pointe West neighborhood before but this was our favorite stay so far. We plan to book this house again on our next trip.

We enjoyed our pre cruise stay at the cottage. It was clean, roomy, and the beds were very comfortable. We had an issue with the lock getting in but Marvin took care of it right away. The location is very quiet and relaxing. If you don't mind stairs you will not have an issue staying here.

Great beach stay with the family!

We had a great stay at this beautiful beach house. Erin and Jeff have done a wonderful job decorating and making sure their guests have everything they need. My family and I enjoyed playing the games available each evening and took advantage of the closet with provided beach gear. The house is a very short walk or ride to the beach walkover and is just a quick car or golf cart ride to the Beach Club. We would definitely stay here again!

The home is very comfortable with plenty of space for everyone. The kitchen is well stocked and the deck is so nice to eat out on. It is convenient to the beach as well as the beach club.

About the host

Hosted by Erin & Jeff Newman

Host profile image
A little about the Newman Family...We have two daughters, Olivia (15) and Zoe (13). We love animals, and we have 3 dogs and 2 cats. Both of us grew up in Houston and met at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo in 2004. Jeff attended Bellaire High School (class of 1992) and Erin attended Memorial High School (class of 1994) and then moved to San Marcos to attend Southwest Texas State University. Erin now teaches at Elsik High School in Alief and Jeff owns Bellaire Towing and Harwin Auto Storage. We enjoy spending time as a family and traveling together, especially to the beach!

Why they chose this property

When we decided we were going to buy a beach house, we knew we wanted something that felt like a real home away from home; a place we could come and relax to get away from the hustle and bustle of Houston. We knew Galveston was the place because of the location and Pointe West is the hidden jewel of the west end! This house had everything we wanted, including the beautiful Beach Club and the most amazing beach neighbors!

What makes this property unique

We named our property, It's A Shore Thing, because when we bought it, we definitely felt that way! We walked inside and said this house has beautiful views, has plenty of space and it was just a short walk to dip our toes in the sand. We know it's a "shore" thing and we hope you'll feel that way too!
