Sandy Turtle is located right in front of the lazy river/Sunset Pool- with 3 children this was absolutely PERFECT for our stay! The condo was clean, roomy and met all of our needs during our stay- including most kitchen utensils you may or may not need while cooking in the unit! We had quick/easy access to close public beach access roads and had an amazing time during our stay.

Fabulous stay

We loved the unit and the complex. Would definitely stay here again. Only negative was the distance to get to any stores or restaurants. Far away from everything at least 30+ minutes.

Another awesome year at Pointe West!

The condo was great! It was clean and well stocked. The only thing I wished I had brought my electric skillet just because I haven’t used a griddle on the electric stove before.

Beautiful spot

Condo was exactly as pictured, we enjoyed a couple of Galveston's beautiful sunsets on the deck. It worked great for our family. The main bedroom bed took some getting used to. It is a memory foam matress and very different from what I was used to. We really enjoyed our time and will look to rebook again in the future,

Location is great. Condo itself was good, but this stay and the last 2 stays at the building next to this one, the elevators were not working for the entire stays. I don’t blame the condo owners, but the Pointe West HOA. If you plan to stay at Pointe west, book a condo on the first level or be in good physical condition

Well-maintained pointe west property

Very impressed with the condo, views of the pool and bay and cleanliness of the condo community. Would definitely stay here again. The only thing I will mention is, the bay pool did not feel 'heated' as described on the listing. It was still pretty cold. Regardless, we had a great time and I appreciated that there were security guards actively checking that guests had wristbands to utilize the pool areas.

One of our new faves

Bay side…overlooking the lazy river and the bay. TV outside on the balcony ….which the teens loved. First floor over the garage…so easy to load/unload bags and groceries. Clean…very. All appliances and plumbing working as expected. Ran out of paper towels…but an easy trip to the store fixed that. Trash shoot right outside the front door. Could use more kitchen towels… but absolutely no real complaints whatsoever…easily one of our top 3 rentals and we rent condos and houses in Galveston at least 3-4 times/year.

Great getaway

We enjoyed our stayed and the condo/property were very clean! Our only issue was the sleep number king bed in master bedroom. The mattress would reset itself during the night waking us up so we finally just slept in the bunk bed room. Might be a super easy fix but we couldn’t figure out what was up with it. The balcony is large with nice views of bay/lazy river pool. We would stay here again for sure!

Peace & Tranquility

This condo was beautiful & fully equipped with everything! The beds were comfortable & we enjoyed alot of time on the patio so the TV out there was a plus! The on-site restaurant was surprisingly good & had kid friendly foods. The pool closest to condo was a bit dirty but the one by where you get the wrist bands was alot better. We definitely will be back!
