The relaxing weekend that we wanted. Easy access to the beach and pools. The condo had a beautiful deck to watch the sunrise and relax in the evening. The beds and living area were very comfortable and decorated beautifully. We would definitely recommend staying at this rental.

Perfect place for our family trip
This property is beautiful and the owners are amazing. Everything was perfect. The space was huge for our family of 4. The huge deck with a beautiful view, was great for hanging out. My kids loved both pools, but the heated lazy river was definitely a hit. The beach toys and wagon was great to have and we used daily. We will def stay again.

Wonderful condo!
We loved this property! The layout was great, having two sitting areas was nice, the view was amazing as was the balcony space and furniture. There were many “extras” provided that made everything easier such as spices, throws, books, thoughtful decor and beach towels! The condo was extremely nice and the owners have thought of everything!

Owners were extremely generous, attentive and kind. Location of property which was close to beach and close to beach club was convenient! Large porch overlooking the beach was beautiful. House and beach locker were stocked with everything you’d need! Especially convenient was the use of owners’ numerous beach towels. Wonderful weekend!

Repeat customer for this condo
We've stayed in this condo before, the space is great for multiple families. The kitchen had everything that we needed, plenty of seating in the living room and appreciated the extra sitting area on the other side of the kitchen for our teens to hang out and play their games. Love this condo and it's access to the beach.

The condo and view of the beach were beautiful! We were pleased with the quality of the furniture, beds, linens, dishes, appliances. The air conditioner had an issue was leaking and putting out mildew smell air. Husband bought new air filter to get us through the weekend. Owner was responsive until they weren’t. Never heard back from them…

Thank you for your review. We always strive to give every guest a 5-Star experience. It was determined that the air conditioning issue you encountered during your stay originated in the condo unit above us and was outside of our control and did not involve our unit. Upon your informing us of your concerns, we immediately sent over our on-site handyman and cleaning service to inspect the issue. The owner of the condo above us is a friend, and the minor leak issue was immediately resolved.
Above all else, as can be seen from all our other reviews, we commit to active and personal communication with our guests and we believe we committed to that level of communication with you and your family during your stay. We texted and spoke with your family extensively every day during your visit regarding your air conditioning concerns. My communication even continued after your stay concluded. We openly appreciated your replacement of the filter and your father’s efforts to investigate and solve the AC issue.
Again, we are committed to every guest having a meaningful 5-star experience with responsive personal communication and we are disappointed that you feel your stay fell short. We will use your review as a learning opportunity to continue to offer the best possible vacation experience for our guests.
Thanks for staying with us and we sincerely appreciate your help.

Paradise on the Gulf
Above the Waves exceeded all my expectations! We have vacationed at Pointe West for five years. Above the Waves out-scored all the other condos, hands down! The owners were wonderful to work with, the home was beautifully appointed, it was sparkling clean and everything we could have possibly wanted or needed was at our fingertips for our use. The view from the balcony was amazing! Already looking forward to 2024 at Above the Waves! Sheryl L

Most Impressive Condo Ever!
‘Above the Waves’ was the most impressive condo to which we have ever stayed! Because this condo is nearly 20 miles from a Galveston proper, the owners made sure you have everything you need during your stay. So many amenities provided for your convenience. Beautiful and tastefully decorated, comfortable, views for miles, steps to the beach, and private. Our expectations were met and exceeded! Private balcony, huge swimming pool, lazy river, books, movies, great TV, comfortable bed! The list goes on! You will not regret booking ‘Above the Waves’!

Great spot by the pool
Loved the location but door lock was overly difficult. We had another condo during the same stay and that was very easy to use. Our parents are in their 80’s and had college age grandkids with them. None of us could get that lock / password to work. Had to resort to one real key for 6 people. Otherwise, great place!!!!

Multiple Stays In
We have been to this property multiple summers now and love it. This was our first year to experience first day challenges. The cleaning crew definitely went a little fast in flipping this one for our arrival, and we spent the first few minutes wiping down surfaces that still had food, cleaning out fridge, etc. Not a big deal, as sometimes that happens (contractors). But soon after, the air conditioner stopped. And no A/C in Galveston in the summer is a non-starter. Owners were so apologetic and had an A/C Tech on phone with me that night to see if I could troubleshoot, and then had someone on-site at 8a the next day, fixed soon after. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, even with the challenges of the first 24 hours. As always, we fully use the kitchen to cook meals, take advantage of the many beach toys that the owners keep available, and certainly use the pool at the club. It’s a great property with incredible views and a great breeze on the patio.

Beautiful condo in great location
This property was absolutely beautiful and well-stocked with everything we needed inside and on the beach. We had everything we needed to cook for our large party (5 adults, 3 kids). Beds were super comfortable and living room sectional was large. Lots of indoor activities (games, puzzles, great books). Pool area is a short walk away and we especially enjoyed the large hot tub. Beach also a short walk away. Could not have asked for a better location.
Only downside is the unit is beneath another and we could hear people walking on floor above us.

Blissful
We truly had a blissfully wonderful stay over the July 4th week! Upon our arrival, the condo was very clean, updated and decorated so beautifully. The beachfront views from the balcony are perfection for sipping morning coffee or just hanging out enjoying the ocean breeze. :) The beds are extremely comfortable, too! My family and I slept very well and woke up so refreshed each day. The condo was very spacious and well stocked with anything we needed. The storage closet downstairs is also stocked with a variety of beach toys, boogie boards, chairs, wagon, tent, etc! The sweet owner, Lisa, even dropped off a new tent during our stay after the one we used from the closet finally gave out. That was incredibly kind! The condo is also in a perfect location and so convenient to the beach pier, pool and restaurant. Overall the condo was exceptional, and we plan to stay again next summer! Highly recommend!
