Our family spent a week at this Property "Family Tides" and had a great time. The Pointe West area is beautiful, as is this house! It's very spacious and nicely furnished, and the kitchen is extremely well stocked with everything you need for preparing and serving just about any meal. They thought of everything. We were pleasantly surprised - as we did not need to use any of our own cooking supplies that we took. We enjoyed the Gas Grill (but if you prefer to BBQ with charcoal - they also have an Ole' Smokey). We loved the back porch / patio area. The picnic table was perfect for days we grilled out and their small gas firepit was perfect for making Smores. The outdoor seating on every balcony is so inviting, and the views are awesome. We loved watching the Momma duck teach her little ducklings how to swim and dive for food every morning and evening. Too cute! And if you like napping or reading while lying in a hammock you're going to love the one on the back patio. No need to take ANY toys for sand castle building -- they have tons! They also had several boogie boards & pool noodles. And although we did not need/use it, we were surprised to see they even had an outdoor play pen with a mosquito net for little ones. As for the beach, when we were there we found it to be very nice and quiet (but that was late August). It was extremely clean and very well maintained. You can't drive on the beach but are able to put up tents which is nice. But it is a good little walk to the beach (including the long walkway over the dunes) so if you plan to take a lot of stuff to the beach, you'll definitely want to pack a Wagon for that. The property does have one but although it's not functional so don't count on using theirs. We purchased a collapsible one on Amazon (with beach tires) and loaded it down every day with our ice chest, chairs and tent and it proved to be a real life savor for sure. Overall, this is a great place that we would not hesitate to rent again! ##### Bert C. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Amy M. Aug 17, 2022 #### The house was roomy and designed well for a large group. Family Tides is located conveniently (very close!) to the path to the beach and is only a short walk (0.5 miles) to the beach club. The house is roomy and has a fresh appearance with nice decor. The kitchen is large enough for several people to be doing things at the same time; this is key to having a great vacation with friends - and this is a wonderful feature of this house! One of our party noted that the bed was quite soft in the downstairs bedroom. We were likely the first guests of the season, so the management left us enough supplies for one load of laundry, two loads of dishes, and there were just enough bath towels for everyone in the house. The weather was rainy, but there were multiple televisions in the house if people wanted to watch television (we mostly chose to sit outside and chat or read). The covered porch out front (three chairs) was wonderful for AM coffee, and the larger back porch (uncovered, six chairs) was great for sitting and chatting with snacks or a meal. We brought our own games and puzzles - there were just a few in scattered drawers throughout the house. The house felt very solid and well constructed. When the folks next door had a large party, we barely heard them. It was a great weekend, and I would stay in this house again! ##### Amy M. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brenda F., Dallas Area Aug 7, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful Property Relaxing and plenty of room. ##### Brenda F.

But circumstances changed our usual family trip to the Jersey shore. I was a little nervous having no frame of reference about Galveston. It was so much better than expected! The house was better than shown in pictures. Everything we needed was there and the beach just steps away. The beach was perfect for our two young grandchildren. The club house pool and the lazy river made for hours of fun. We discovered some great little places to shop and eat. We could not be any happier with our experience. ##### Claudia W. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cara M.

The house was nice. Kitchen was large and ample room for many cooks in the kitchen. Noticed ants in kitchen and 2nd floor bedroom and contacted property manager. Was told maintenance would come but never did. Inquired twice about this. Bought Raid and sprayed the areas but ants still a nuisance. Laundry pods placed in kitchen with dishwasher pods. Ran the dishwasher since no label and water/suds throughout part of kitchen. Both situations were not ideal, but we still had a nice vacation. Kinda peeved that the ants were never addressed. ##### Jennifer H. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2021 ### 6/10 Okay #### Amber R. Jul 2, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication #### Great house, but....... The house was as pictured. The thing that they do not show you is that the community has grown and the houses are super close to each other and there is construction going on all over the community. The location is about 30 minutes away from everything, so you spend at least an hour of your day driving if you go into the seawall area. I was very surprised to find that there was no broom or mop at the house, we had to go buy one. The kitchen is pretty well stocked, but there was only 1 pot holder. I don't think we will be staying here again. ##### Amber R. Stayed 6 nights in Jun 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Karen K.

Apr 20, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Double nickel celebration We loved this getaway for my husband's 55th birthday. We were bummed about not being able to use the beach resort due to the cold and windy weather. Since we had 4 children in our party, we didn't want to risk any of them getting sick being in and out of the water. So we lost $150. It looked amazing though with 3 pools, the restaurant and access to the gym. It was a bit of a walk from our property but really not too far, so in the summer when weather is warmer it would be a nice stroll. But staying at Family Tides was wonderful because it was spacious, had a large kitchen (which is where our family usually gathers anyway). The kitchen was fully equipped so since we stayed mostly indoors, we were able to cook and enjoy home cooked meals. The decor and furniture were beautiful, clean and very functional! The bathrooms could have used more soaps and extra towels so be sure to bring your own. They don't supply beach towels so you need to bring those too. We especially loved the 3 different patios we could just sit and relax in. When it wasn't too cold we were able to take out our kites and fly them! We would like to come back and make full use of the beach resort next time! It would be nice if we could get a refund or credit for our resort passes since we couldn't use it. Otherwise we had a fabulous stay! ##### Gilda D.

Rental experience was great. Coast Vacations personnel were very responsive. Nice that they provided starter items like toilet paper, soap etc. House was exactly as described, very spacious and tasteful decorated. Kitchen is huge but could use some better cooking equipment if you’re really into cooking. Lots of beach toys. Bring or rent your own beach chairs as the ones available aren’t great. Overall it’s a really wonderful house, perfect for two families. Nice setting. Highly recommend. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 6 nights in Mar 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jacque T. Jan 16, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy #### Great property Easy short walk to beach with kids. MUST TAKE BUG SPRAY! Mosquitos were everywhere. Don't take Any beach toys they have plenty. They also have chairs and a wagon. Need to bring your own boogie boards though. They also have salt and pepper and a few other seasonings. They have muffin pans, cookie sheets, and plenty of pots and pans. Only 1 TV in entire house and that's in the living room (it is a smart TV though) . They have an alexa. Beautiful kitchen area and large dining room table. Huge closets but no coat hangers upstairs. We didn't need it though just a heads up. ##### Jacque T. Stayed 6 nights in Dec 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### wendi t. Nov 9, 2020 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Cleanliness #### A little concerned about the cleanliness In short, when we arrived there were a few things that caught our attention. We did not have garbage bags, nor do we have soap for our hands in the bathrooms as they were empty. The kitchen was great but had several insects such as silverfish in the alive and moving, and spiders very actively in the pantry. We also noticed major spider webbing on the chairs in the dining room as well as MOLD (of which wiped one with bleach which helped it seems) in the two vents in the ceiling of the family room and dining. Each corner of the home had something growing either a Web or an active site for bug activity. And finally- We were out on time. The Ottoman probably needs to be replaced as it was full of stains. I also took pictures To further support this. I would suggest changing out the toilet seat in the master as well as the handrails around the property definitely needed painting. I hate to say this but I would think it might be better to hire a different cleaning company that might be more thorough? Just a thought… But overall a great property! ##### wendi t.
