Beach Front and steps away from Pointe West Community amenities!

The unit is professionally decorated and is ideal for families or couples wanting to escape to the beach. Everything is top quality in this island treasure. Complimentary High-Speed WI-FI, stainless steel appliances in the full-size kitchen, Flat screen TVS, and a full-size washer and dryer are all found in this unit.

We got to watch the sunset each morning which was amazing. Great spot and very spacious for a condo. It did smell like mildew so I would bring a candle to be on the safe side!

Spring Break with the kids

We loved our stay. The property was spacious and clean. It had all the amenities that we needed. The proximity to the beach and Beach Club pool was great. You do have to drive to get to the 2nd pool location which really wasn't much of an inconvenience. We didnt mind. My only complaint was that the fitness center, bar and restaurant were closed due to renovation during our stay and this was not disclosed in the listing when we booked. We only found out after booking. We will likely stay again and take advanrage of these perks the next time. Highly recommend this location for a relaxing get away.

A wonderful stay in Pointe West

We had a great time with family at this point West condo. Everything was in order and the view was spectacular from the large balcony. Never been to point west before, but lots of activities for our six and nine-year-old. We will definitely be back! Thank you.

Beautiful condo

This 3 bedroom is great for families. The kitchen is well stocked. The decor is very nice. The beach and pool are nearby. The property is well maintained. You will need to purchase a $25pp wristband to enjoy the pool during your stay. The only warning I would give is the restaurant on the premises is closed and you will need to bring your own food or travel 10 to 30 minutes away for restaurants. I would highly recommend renting this condo.

Family Trip

My family and I spent the week of July 4th here and it is our 2nd year staying in this condo. The owner and property managers were great and took care of a few items that we needed. The condo was well stocked with everything we needed in the kitchen. Extra blankets and pillows were available as well as books, puzzles, and games. They even provided a welcome basket with coffee, laundry and dishwasher pods, paper plates, and candy. The view was great from our patio and it was a short walk to the the pool. The only negative was that the elevator broke down on our third day there and wasn't fixed by the time we left. We know that it was being worked on but with it being a holiday week things don't move as fast. We were grateful that we only had one floor to navigate instead of three.

The Perfect Getaway Place

Papa & Noni hosted our daughter & family for Spring Break. The condo served our needs well with room for everyone! Spotlessly clean, quality towels & bedding, well-equipped kitchen & tv in every bedroom. The patio overlooked the Gulf. The king size mattress in secondary bedroom is worn out is our only criticism. We do a lot of VRBO rentals & this was a beautiful place that exceeded our expectations.
