This is a really great condo! It’s walking distance to the beach and the clubhouse pool. Everything we needed was at the house including beach towels. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed to make meals. The decor was so relaxing and comfortable. It really felt like a home away from home. We will definitely stay here again! (The host was also very responsive!)

The perfect vacation spot

This place is gorgeous, so beautifully curated and the abundance of family games, toys, towels, kitchen items and amenities is better than my expectations (and helpful to pack less!). We would definitely recommend and plan to return.

Great place to get away!

Stayed there over memorial weekend. Very nice condo, the host was very accommodating leaving us all sorts of treats/coffee/etc. We all had a blast and will be returning. You are required to pay extra for a wristband to use the pool/workout facilities, so that was silly, but otherwise no complaints. Also not much traffic there as it's a good 30 min south of Galveston.

Condo was absolutely perfect for our 2 families. The decor throughout the entire unit was amazing. Our kids enjoyed the adorable bunk beds, toys and books. The kitchen was stocked with any utensil we needed. It was beyond what we expected and made our trip unforgettable. The restaurant at the beach club was great, get the shrimp!

Couldn’t ask for more

We are frequent renters at Pointe West and we were absolutely thrilled with the Whale House condo. We loved the decor and the comfiness of every room. They had everything thing we needed and really put attention to detail. If you have kids this is the place for you! Everything is thoughtfully provided for you.

About the host

Hosted by Christina Gong

Host profile image
Our background is in consulting, and for most of our career, we practically lived in hotels and on airplanes. Travel has always been a big part of our lives — both professionally and personally. By the time our daughter was five, she had already visited 15 countries.

After spending so much time in hotels for work, we grew tired of the cold, “matchbox” feeling of standard rooms. When we travel as a family, we’ve always preferred STR — having a kitchen, outdoor space, and a home with character makes all the difference. Those small human touches turn a trip into a real experience.

Why they chose this property

We began hosting short-term rentals in 2021 with our beachfront property in Galveston. That home holds special meaning for our family. Before we owned our own place, we rented it while I was pregnant and throughout our daughter’s early childhood. We celebrated each of her birthdays there with friends on the beach, and it became part of so many beautiful milestones and memories.

The owner generously shared their home with us during such a meaningful chapter of our lives, and we’ve always been grateful. Now, we’re honored to share our spaces with others in the same spirit.

What makes this property unique

The Whale House has long been our family’s vacation home — a place that represents rest, simplicity, and meaningful time together. We love it slightly removed from the busy center, quieter and less touristy. During the off-season, pulling into the peaceful, nearly empty parking lot always feels like taking a deep breath. The car-free beach allows kids and dogs to run safely and freely, and even in the summer, it never feels overly crowded.

We first started coming here when we had a baby, and we vividly remember how stressful traveling with little ones can be — packing an entire SUV, worrying about forgetting something essential,

We designed the home to reduce stress for families. With rounded furniture corners and thoughtful touches throughout, it’s stocked with baby and toddler essentials — including a pack and play, bottle warmer, changing pad, infant bath, high chair, and toys — so you don’t have to overpack or worry about the small things.

The space features a clean, minimalist aesthetic while still feeling warm and inviting. It’s meant to be a place where you can truly exhale — quiet the outside noise, enjoy the waves, and simply reconnect.
