About this property

Pointe West Galveston - Sleeps 8-10 - Beach Club - Golf Cart - Dogs Welcome

  • As soon as you walk in the front door, all your worries will melt away and you can focus on the important things - grilling, fishing, swimming, and relaxing. Heron House enjoys a fabulous location with a three minute walk to the beach! Relax on the back balcony to a tranquil pond with a sparkling fountain while you enjoy sunset views over the bay.

    Heron House is located at the beautiful Pointe West resort on the west end of Galveston Island. Pointe West is a master planned development with private beach and is a one-of-a-kind location on the island. The Beach Club is truly a resort, 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.

    Our home is designed to make you and your family comfortable. Smart TVs are in the living room and all three bedrooms. We have the fastest WiFi speed available on the island. Feel free to pack light, we have a washer and dryer for you to do a quick load of laundry.

    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. For those of you with small children, we have a stroller and pack-n-play for your convenience. We also have a 6 passenger golf cart that you are welcome to use while staying in our home. Please feel free to use it to go to the Beach Club or to explore Pointe West. **NOTE: the golf cart CANNOT be driven on the beach!**

    Seven Seas Grocery Store is the closest fully stocked grocery store and is 7 miles from the house. The Strand, Pleasure Pier, Academy Sports, Walmart, Randalls, and the rest of Galveston is approximately 30 minutes from the house.

    *NOTE: I have no sub-agents/management companies renting my property for me and you will only deal with me. Rent with confidence if you are renting from me through VRBO.

Great Stay!

Really enjoyed staying at this house. We always love the beach club and come to this area annually. The golf cart made the stay extra fun this year. Everything was great and we will look to stay in this house again next year.

Great stay

We (two teenage daughters) came for our spring break. The overall place was perfect for the 4 of us. We loved the resort amenities and being able to use the pools and the on-site restaurant. The location is a good 20 mins from the main drag of Galveston - we liked that is was a bit quieter and we could choose to go to the more active area of town. Highly recommend!

Enjoyed our stay, everything we needed was there, short walk to the beach and a short drive to the pool. They had a golf cart on site but we didn’t use it. House was clean and cozy. Will stay again if we get the chance.

Family Beach Trip

We had a great time at this cottage. It is further from pools and beach club, but with the golf cart, it was more than fine. We had a few storms during our visit but we were able to stay entertained playing pingpong and hanging out on the patio together. We had a lovely time! Thanks!

Absolutely Amazing

The house was clean and probably the most well stocked with amenities I have ever seen in a vacation home. Would 100% recommend to anyone. Whether you are going by your self, a couples get away, or with family and friends, there is plenty to do or just peace and quiet! Host was extremely responsive and everything was just as good or better then listed.

Carocci - Galveston 2023

This is our 2nd year at this property and we had such a great time just like in 2022. Perfect location and the golf cart allows for much easier transportation to the beach and the beach resort. Morgan was fantastic as usual and so easier to communicate with and very responsive to our needs as well. We WILL be back!

Galveston - 2024

This is our 3rd time at this property and it never fails. Property is fantastic and being part of the Pointe West neighborhood adds an additional flair. Having the golf cart included on-site is a great added bonus. Morgan is always available and always keeps the lines of communication open. Another great Galveston trip in the books. We will be back next year!

Absolutely loved this place!

It is on the far side of the island, so it really does take some time to drive down to the center-but the beach access is WAY better and the beach club pools are phenomenal! Loved the house itself, the owner really has taken the time to try and put everything you could possibly need for your stay together. Lists of restaurants, beach toys, wagons, use of the golf cart for driving around the neighborhood. It was a wonderful stay. The power went out in the neighborhood on our last night there and the owner was very communicative with us about ETAs they were receiving from the power company. Loved our stay here!

Great vaca spot!

We really enjoyed our stay. As other reviews stated, this home provides everything you’ll need for your stay and for the beach. The location is amazing and we really enjoyed the space under the house as well as the breeze off the back deck. When we had questions, Morgan was quick to respond. The AC is awesome and the extra fans were nice at nighttime. The master bed and bunk beds were very comfortable. The beach, which is super close, is the best I’ve seen in Galveston. The beach club pool was just okay (very murky and needed a good cleaning). We hope to come back again soon!

We ad a blast and I especially liked yew laid back feeling and “help yourself” attitude of the owners! The golf cart for free is the best! We are the grandparents and LOVED the fact that it is not 3 story. Packing and unpacking was so easy. We could only find 4beach towels and before you knew it….there were 4 more! Thank you! ❤️👍

Fantastic Once Again!

We were there in early October and enjoyed the quiet beach. We were up before sunrise to make the very short walk to the beach to watch the sun come up. Great place for photographers. The floorplan is thoughtfully laid out, affording space and privacy. Beautiful furnishings. Ww packed light, knowing everything we needed (and more) for the beach was provided by the owners, even down to the beach towels. We hated to leave, so we didn't! We got in touch with the owner and it worked out that we were able to extend our stay. This was our second time to stay at Wasted Time, but it won't be our last!

Good overall!

Great location loved the golf cart so much! The beach was empty and they had everything we needed for ultimate beach and house fun. Kids were in heaven. There were so many massive mosquitos that attacked us every time we were downstairs… my 2 year old is covered in welts! The house also had an odd smell, probably just animals but we don’t have a dog so was not used to it. Probably won’t stay here again because of the bugs but otherwise great spot!

Everything was perfect! Exactly as described by the owner. I loved the proximity to the beach. One of the cleanest in Galveston! I appreciated the kitchen amenities, everything is there for you! Beds were very comfy. Lots of towels! My kids loved the golf cart and ping pong table. So clutch that you don’t need to bring any beach type things. It’s all there! Even a wagon! We will definitely come back. Ty!
