Tranquil, Spacious, and Fabulous

The Whale house provided the perfect getaway for a group of friends celebrating the start of Summer! It is incredibly spacious and comfortably slept 7 kids and 2 adults. The Whale House is perfectly located near the resort pool and the boardwalks to the beach. Its massive balcony offers a stunning view of the ocean and the interior is thoughtfully decorated with shells and beach themes. This is truly a haven of rest and fun and I highly recommend the Whale House for your next stay in Galveston.

Nice Family friendly condo near beach

This was a very nice family friendly condo within walking distance of beach andPointe West Beach Club with a large pool. The condo had plenty of room for 6 adults and 3 children. Has two separate smart tv areas and plenty of seating. Condo is well stocked with coffee macines, plates, pots, pans, and utensils. Only issue, unrelated to specific condo, is that on 3rd day of trip the elevator in the building stopped working and although it is on 2nd floor had to go up and down 3 flights of stairs to pack up vehicles.

Great Getaway

Despite having rain all weekend, we really enjoyed our stay! Beds and sheets were very comfortable. Kitchen had everything we needed. Great location and close to the club house. Loved the patio furniture. We wish the bathrooms would have been a little cleaner. Overall we would return and loved all of the little touches the owners thought of! Thank you!

Perfect escape from the daily hustle and bustle, and included the best space to enjoy time with friends and family!

Enjoyed our stay at the condo! It was well cleaned and the service was great. Had a few issues with appliances/etc but the staff was great at communicating and getting it resolved. Truly thankful for the experience as it allowed us to share a great time with friends and family for our summer getaway.

Family getaway

After a busy weekend of competition in Houston, we drove to Galveston to spend the week at the Whale House. I could not ask for a better condo. It was beautiful, clean and you can easily tell that the owners have thought of everything in order to make the stay, one to remember. Buttery soft bed linens, plush towels, extra beach towels and a storage unit full of beach things (chairs, toys, wagon, etc). The complex/community has a ton of amenities and beach access is a piece of cake. We’ll definitely be returning here!

We will definitely be back!!

The Whale House was a great place to stay. We had everything we needed and more. The owners supplied chairs, wagons, sunshades and plenty of toys for our stay on the beach. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed to cook our meals. There was plenty of room for all seven of us to enjoy the TV in the living room and the dining room table where we ate and played games. The beds were very comfortable with nice linens We had amazing views off of both decks. The pool at the Beach Club was perfect in the evening and the hot tub was a nice way to relax after our stay on the beach. We all enjoyed ourselves so much that we will be back!

Our family time was great.

The Whale House condo was perfect for 6 of us. It could use some updates. The wine glasses were very small. The biggest complaint would be no pre warning about the pool. Very disappointed that the restaurant and bar were closed. We planned on spending some time around the pool and looked forward to ordering lunch and drinks. I was impressed that the towels were of good quality.

🌟🏡 Family Getaway Perfection at the Whale House! 🏖️✨

We stayed at this gem called the Whale House, and let me tell you, it was a dream come true for us and the kiddos! 🧒👧 The extra living room space was a game-changer – the little ones had a blast and plenty of room to play. 🎮🧸 The convenience? Top-notch! A leisurely stroll took us right to the clubhouse and the beach. 🚶‍♂️🏖️ No car rides, no hassle, just easy-peasy fun in the sun! And the amenities, oh my! Shampoo, conditioner, and bath soap were in every bathroom – talk about feeling pampered! 🧴💆‍♀️ Plus, they had all the towels we could need, even beach towels. 🏊‍♂️🌊 The house itself? Spotless, tidy, and super easy to navigate – a total win for any family trip. 🧹✅ If you're planning a getaway with the fam, I can't recommend the Whale House enough. #FamilyTravel #BeachGetaway #TravelTips #FamilyFun

Issues but we made the best of it

11 emails were sent from this mgt company prior to checking in which is quite ridiculous. We didn't see the invoice of paying an extra $25 per person to use the amenities on property so we didn't get to get the wristband from them until the front office opened the next morning. Budget that extra fee in and don't expect help after hours. We expected to eat on the property but the bar and restaurant was closed which was not disclosed. Pool was freezing cold (may) and closes at 10pm. This condos shower was not functional in our 3rd bathroom and maintainace man couldn't fix it. Wifi and tvs kept disconnecting. The fire alarms also went off, (fire fighters say they are out at Pointe West multiple times a day for fire alarms) but if you don't know that, this disrupts your stay. We called several numbers to get help on the shower and alarm, only emails were answered. Elevator was broken, - not fun to load up to leave climbing flights of stairs. There was long black hairs in bathroom and in our "fresh" sheets. Several dishes were dirty upon taking them out. Cleaning needs to be addressed a bit better. We will say, the unit was well equipped with everything you could need and we appreciated that, especially the coffee pods and creamer. The welcome snack basket was awesome. Thank you! We loved the balcony, floorplan and close walking proximity to the beach, although this beach is not very big with the dunes. Bring chairs, no dry sand. Pointe West community fell short this time

Fabulous! Perfect beach vacation rental!

This place has it all; beach views, comfortable beds, fully equipped kitchen, games and puzzles, beach chairs and shelter, pool access, short walk to the beach, etc. Beautifully decorated and comfortable. We loved every second of our stay! Our two families were happy with the two bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms. Our teens were comfortable in the bunk room. It was perfect for our two families of four. The second living area was perfect for kids to watch TV while the adults watched in the other area. Kitchen had everything we needed to cook breakfast, burgers, bake cinnamon rolls, brew coffee, etc. We will definitely stay here again!

Our stay at the Whale House!

The Whale was a beautiful property! Very clean, decorated in a beach theme and equipped with everything you should need! There were only a few housekeeping items that needed some attention. They are listed below! The microwave was not working properly. The fridge and freezer had a bit of a fish smell. The tv in the kids’ play area lost wireless connection halfway through our stay. The code to get in the condo did not work so we had to use and share the key with other family members. And last but not least, there were ants in kitchen and family room. Other than these items, it was wonderful! Perfect location and so nice to have access to the beach and to the Beach Club!

Breathtaking

When i saw this property on the site i was impressed by the pictures. As i walked into the property it felts as of i was embraced with a hug saying welcome!! The thought and time that went into each detail of the aesthetics of this home was immaculately done. I absolutely LOVED and enjoyed being in this space. The balcony alone deserves its own separate review. The views are breathtaking. The breeze from the ocean as i slumbered on the lounge chair instantly caused me to snooze a bit. I can go on on and about a lot of intricate details like how comfy the beds were on down to the sofa. But I’ll spare you and sum it up by saying the pictures does this place no justice! It’s airy, spacious, comfortable, just absolutely beautiful! It will not disappoint. They had everything i needed for a home away from home vacay. Absolutely everything! Even though i provided my own things, i was still impressed on the extra unmentioned amenities and surplus of supplies that were available in the event i did need anything in which i did. I truly felt at home. I was truly impressed. Thank you for sharing the Whale and thank you for the OFF insect repellent because i wasn’t aware of the aggressive mosquitoes at night time! lol We had a blast and will return! Great Job!

The condo itself was perfect. The kitchen had every thing you need to to cook. We have three-year-old toddlers and they had so much fun playing with all the new toys. We didn’t even have to unpack theirs out of the car. The beds were very comfortable. I loved all the details of the decor. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Great times, location, and lodging

Beautiful condo, nicely furnished and very welcoming. Close to the beach and beach club. Nicely maintained , comfortable , and a short drive to all the restaurants and things to do. Relax on the patio with your morning coffee or have a cocktail in the afternoon watching the seabirds and the waves. You can cross the street and fish in the bay or catch and release out of the ponds on site. Rent a beach bicycle and ride around the large bike friendly PW facility. Great family location and this condo is one of the best at Pointe West.

We had an incredible experience at the Whale house! My family and I are a group of designers and we were so very impressed by the aesthetics! But they took it a step further with comfort, accessibility, functionality, communication, customer service, and so many other things!! My daughter is 1 and my niece is almost two and they pulled out all the stops with toys, high chair, pack and play, and so forth! And they were all top of the line! But yet as adults it still felt like an escape and luxury stay! The bedding! I am buying it! Can’t say enough good things! We will be back! Absolutely perfect!!
