Perfect!

We enjoyed our stay at Buddy's! It was more spacious than what I imagined for us (6 adults, 1 toddler) and the location was great. Far enough to relax but not too far of a drive to explore the rest of Galveston! Sunsets were beautiful during our stay! Would definitely recommend!

Nice place on the bay at Pointe West

Clean and everything you need to relax at the beach. It is a nice property that worked well for my family of five and the family dog. The pools were nice, and it was a bit of a walk to the beach. But once at the beach, there is a nice uncrowded family beach to enjoy.

Peace, tranquility and the right mix of activity

First time further down the sea wall. Escape the crowds at the sea wall and enjoy both beach and bay access with 2 pools lazy river and incredible sunsets enjoyed while eating somores from the fire pit. Added benefit was kayak availability, bay fishing, rental bicycles available at beach club.

Weekend at the beach

We had an awesome weekend. The condo was great and just what we expected from the photos. When we arrived everything was ready for us so we could unpack and then head to the beach and the pool. Gayle (the owner) made us feel feel very "at home" and left us several little extras for the kids. She was very helpful with new pool rules and hours due to the coronavirus. The condo was clean and well decorated. We had plenty of towels and everything was worked. It was very nice having an assigned parking space right across from the elevator. The big inter-tubes in the storage locker were a big hit with kids going to the lazy river pool. We were also able to store our fully loaded beach wagon and fishing poles in the locker each night. This was a very fun family beach weekend to celebrate our grandson turning 3. All eight of us (5 adults and 3 kids ) had a wonderful time.

Two Reasons

My husband and I are retired military and live in Atlanta. Our youngest son, wife and Twin three year old sons live near Houston. We were thrilled to spend time with them at the beach. The condo was so nice. The view of the bay was beautiful. The beach and Lazy pool were a hit for the twins. The whole experience was delightful.
