You also have access to resort-style amenities at the Beach Club with pools, a lazy river, hot tub, nature walk, restaurant, bar, fitness center, pickleball, bike rentals, and more! The Beach Club charges $25.00 per person (4 and older) for the length of your stay.

Downstairs in the garage you will find everything you need for the beach; chairs, canopy tent, boogie boards and a wagon to take it all with you. You will also find a patio underneath the house complete with picnic table, chairs, hammock, and a charcoal grill for your use.

We thoroughly enjoyed our recent stay at the Heron House. It was the perfect size for us (6 adults and a child) and was stocked with everything we needed and more. We have stayed in many rental homes, and this one was much more than we expected. A close and easy walk to the beach and also being able to take the golf cart to the Beach Club and lazy River pool made it feel like a true resort vacation. Thanks again for everything, we hope to be able to come visit again!

This house is in the cutest community and is well stocked with all the necessary essentials! A few minor items need to be attended to (a toilet running, shower door sticking) but overall, just a lovely stay!

About the host

Hosted by Laura Ashley

Host profile image
We are long-time Houstonians with a love for Galveston. We enjoy fishing, golfing, birdwatching and playing tennis & pickleball. We grew up visiting the island and are so excited to continue those visits and traditions with our three children and numerous family members. We are also excited to host visitors to share our love for the island.

Why they chose this property

We chose Pointe West because it is the largest beach on Galveston Island and is uniquely situated between the beach and the bay. The community feels like a throwback in time to a simpler life where you can relax and enjoy the outdoors - from walks on the sidewalk or the sunset drives on the golf cart. Pointe West is a master planned community where you can enjoy a full resort experience on the less crowded part of the island.
