My review

The property was nice, however, website was misleading and should have stated that the amenities (pools) had an additional charge (25 per person). No deadbolt on main door which allowed kids to open the door from the inside. Clothes dryer knobs broken. Dishes in cupboard were dirty. Killed four roaches in 3 days. Dirt and dust under beds. Pots and pans need to be replaced. Beautiful views and plenty of space. Nice but room for improvement.

Perfect for a family getaway

Linda was great at communicating with us before our stay. Place was clean and well cared for. She even left us a welcome basket with popcorn and plates and some cleaning supplies. Property turned out to be on the bay side which meant we had to drive across the street for the main clubhouse pool and and beach but we didn’t mind at all because the sunset over the bay was spectacular from the balcony!

On the water at Pointe West

This condo is in a great location on a great property. This building has views of water almost from every window. It is right on the bay where you have fishing right outside the building The bay is all flats and perfect for kayaking or wade fishing anytime the wind is calm. You also have an unubsrtucted view of the sunset right from the unit. This was our first stay at this unit. I will be trying to book this same unit next time we are there.

Perfect for a girls trip!

The condo was very convenient for our group of 5 adult women. We appreciated getting away and not having to share beds. Enough bathrooms to accommodate all of us getting ready. The Pointe West complex was great as we liked the pools better than the sand. The beach access and pool access was great, enough parking that we could easily drive (in the heat) to get where we needed to go. Definitely take your bug spray though!

Annual Get Together for our Growing Family

This is our third time staying at Pointe West and second time at this condo. It’s great for families and offers a lot of space and convenience next to the beach. There were a couple of issues that we discovered once there (the water line to the ice maker was frozen and the dryer didn’t want to turn on) but the property managers were quick to respond to them. Overall, this was an awesome place for our annual beach get together with our growing family. They even left a pac n play so we didn’t have to bring two.
