BEST location for beach and pools! Spectacular view of the Gulf!! New Elevator!!

Best location on the beach! Enjoy sunrise with morning coffee and moonrise with a glass of wine from your private balcony! Because of the bend in Cat Tail Drive, all maps seem to be misleading 🙁. We are on the beach!

Cat Tail Condo is a 2/2 beach front "Beach Club Villa" condo located at the highly sought after Pointe West Resort on the West End of Galveston. Professionally decorated, well maintained, and ideal for 4 to 6 guests close to the Beach Club and dune walkovers.

This 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom condo has 1095 SQFT and a large patio with entrances from the master bedroom and the living area. The master has a large walk-in shower and double sinks, the guest bath has a bath/shower combo, and both baths have granite counters. The split bedroom floor plan provides for added privacy. The kitchen has a large serving/snack bar, ample cabinets and pantry, stainless appliances, and granite countertops. The living/dining combo allows for easy access and entertaining.

About Pointe West:

The highly sought after Pointe West Resort is a 1000 acre resort located on the picturesque and serene most western tip of Galveston Island near the San Luis Pass. The 3 1/2 mile resort offers a unique part of the island that allows for simultaneous views of both Galveston Bay and the Gulf of Mexico from every condo so you can watch the sunrise and set without leaving your condo. Take a scenic tour and easily travel in the underground tunnel to access the beach or bay. There are lakes and lagoons to enjoy the lighted fountains, fishing, kayaking, crabbing, or just to view as you walk, bike, or cruise in your golf cart on the miles of paved pathways surrounding the community. Charcoal grills are conveniently placed throughout the community for your convenience.

The Beach Club Villas and Ocean Club Villas are located on the beachside of the resort. Dramatic views of the beach will be a delight as you watch the brilliant sunrise and moonlight shining on the surf. Be amazed by the playful antics of kite surfers and hang gliders. Take a stroll and rest in the shade at the Pavilion which is also a great site for a photo shoot.
The Beach Club is a spectacular 8000 SQFT club with 20,000 SQFT of sun decks and offers a panoramic view of the Gulf of Mexico with several dune walkovers over 3 miles of a beautifully maintained beach.
An infinity edge pool that looks like it flows right into the beach actually overflows into a children's pool and play area. Sit back and relax with pulsating jets in the hot tub. There are plenty of tables, chairs, and chaises poolside to enjoy all the activity. Work out in the Beach Front Fitness Center with separate men and ladies locker rooms. There is also free WIFI offered at poolside so you can stay connected. An air conditioned glass front Game Room overlooking the pool offers the younger group a place to chill out and play a few games or watch TV. An adult lounging area is located on 2nd floor just down from the beach bar. The Gift Shop at poolside is open for snacks, drinks, souvenirs, beach gear and apparel. Two grilling areas with gas grills are located right at poolside so you can prepare your favorite BBQ.

If you go across the road to the Bay Villa Condo area, there is much to do, but, without a doubt, you will be amazed at the breathtaking sunsets. Early in the morning and at dusk you will see a multitude of resident island and migrating birds that are abundant in this natural part of the island, so don't forget your binoculars and camera. The avid fisherman wading in the bay is a common sight as this is one of the best fishing spots on the island. You can even stop and get a work out on the outdoor exercise trail. The Sunset Beach Pool is ideal for young children to gradually enter the pool without stairs and also allows for deck chairs to be placed right in the pool. There is also an area under the shade of the palm trees for toddlers to play. Grab a tube and cascade in the lazy river pool as it winds between the tropical palm trees. Relax in the raised hot tub in this serene tropical paradise.

Gather with friends and family or meet some new friends to watch the sunset at the 2 story lanai or just lounge and enjoy your favorite drink or a casual meal. A grilling area with a gas grill is available for you prepare a BBQ dinner in this picturesque setting. There is also free WIFI offered at poolside so you can stay connected.

Perfect beachy getaway with a view
We loved the unit. Having arrived at night, it was so nice to be surprised by the view from the dining/family room on the first morning. Communication with the host and the beach club was great! Definitely recommend. And we are picky!

Perfect young family getaway!
My husband and I stayed in this perfect beach condo with our young daughter. It was perfect for easy trips to the beach and pool. We could put our daughter to sleep and sit on the beautiful balcony in the evenings. We took advantage of the kitchen in the condo and cooked most meals in. It was so relaxing and the condo was so well stocked to meet our needs.

Great condo!
Great condo and super clean! Somehow there wasnt sand everywhere and perfect view of the beach. Quite a walk from the condo but there is beach access to drive on the beach just 4 minutes down the road. Loved access to the pool at the beach club, kids had a great time. We will definitely be back! Thank you so much!
