Arthur's Beach and Bay 

We got our environmental "highs" by Birding from the condo balcony ... watching shore birds feed in the wetlands and bay next to the condo. Additional daily rewards included Beach walking on the west end, Beach combing in the high tide lines left on the sand, Surf fishing in the troughs that parallel the beach, Swimming in the Pointe West sunrise pool, and Soaking in the Beach Club hot spa. The Arthur's condo was a great place to hang out in between outdoor activities ... it has all the comforts of a nice home with updated appliances.

We had a great time and have 0 complaints about the rental. The owner was helpful with any questions and even had folders full of fishing, wildlife, and general tourist information. We will more than likely book a return trip in the future. This review is the subjective opinion of a TripAdvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.

I can honestly say that this condo was the highlight of our trip to Galveston. We had made all these plans to go to Schlitterbahn and Moody Gardens, but the young ones enjoyed themselves so much at the beach club that they chose not to go to either of those places. It was so peaceful and serene at the condo, that I literally didn't even go to the beach not one time that we were there, which was 5 days and 4 nights. We had family dinners 3 of those nights, one night consisted of the use of the charcoal grill that was provided. The rooms were so spacious and it was not overcrowded at all. Ms. Honeybeth's condo was so warm and welcoming that it felt like you were home away from home. The neighbors that we did see were so nice and polite. My family decided that we are going to try to come back each year. I would love to stay an entire week, it was just that relaxing. The one thing that we could have done without were the mosquitos, but it was to be expected so we weren't taken by surprise. The reason I found out about the site is through a recommendation from my coworker. I could have easily booked 3 hotel rooms, but that's just what we would have gotten 3 hotel ROOMS. Not a living room, dining room, 3 spacious bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, roomy kitchen with all the amenities, and a washer and dryer as well plus a private balcony that overlooked the water. I can admit I came out on top in this decision. The pictures that are posted are exactly precise. My friend and I were discussing a girls getaway and this property would be perfect for it. I can't wait to visit during the offpeak season as well. Anyone who chooses this property for their family or friends will not be disappointed in the least bit. I absolutely loved it here, hated to leave but that's life. Recommended for: Families with young children, families with teenagers, girls getaway, romantic getaway

A family of 4 and a family of 5 stayed in this condominium. It was well appointed with comfortable beds and all the amenities that we needed to cook, play games, entertain children and watch consistently beautiful sunsets. The mosquitoes were quite bad the latter part of the week, but a fogger and Off! helped considerably. The club pool and beach were well maintained and front desk staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful in securing cabanas, planning activities for kids, and providing insight regarding club amenities. We will definitely plan on returning! Recommended for: Families with young children, families with teenagers, girls getaway, romantic getaway.

A group of friends came to stay at this great condo in the Pointe West resort. It was a very nice home with plenty of room for all of us. We loved the facilities around the resort as well - both of the pools were really nice, the walking tracks were great for a morning run, and it was easy to get to the beach. Thank you so much for letting us stay, and we hope to be back again someday!

Would highly recommend to anyone! Good location, it's far away from all the hustle and bustle, yet close enough. Condo has everything you need! Well equip with all the typical homely wants and needs. Internet set up is just as good! You can even catch up with some work with a great view!

What a great place to get away and relax. We had a great time staying in this clean condo. They had everything we needed. Loved the books, puzzles, and movies. Patio was a wonderful place to relax, watch the sunset and birds. Yet, it was so close to the beach and beach club. It was nice to use the bikes, kayaks and golf cart. Kept us all entertained. We enjoyed our stay and would love to return.

This was a wonderful place for our family to celebrate my husband and my 50th wedding anniversary. The two condos were beautiful, spacious, clean, and private. With a wide range of ages from preschoolers, teenagers, adults, and seniors, there was plenty to do to keep everyone happy. Having the elevator was wonderful for me since I am having some mobility problems. The TV's and DVD players were great in the evening for the kids. The kids loved biking, fishing, kayaking and paddleboarding in the bay and appreciated the owners providing all the equipment. We all enjoyed using their golf cart to go to the gulf to play in the ocean and to go to the pools and the lazy river at The beach club. I was worried that not being near the sea wall would be a problem, but it was a blessing to be in such a beautiful location. We enjoyed the peace and quiet and did not have to worry about the kids since we could watch them right from our balconies. Lisa, the owner was very helpful and pleasant to work with. I would recommend Arthur's Beach and Bay for a wonderful vacation.

We enjoyed our stay at both of the condo properties. The beach club was wonderful and the condo came fully stocked, which we appreciated. The whole building was quiet and it allowed us to relax and enjoy the location.

Our stay at this property was way too short! We had a few days before a wedding Houston and we decided to check out Galveston Island. We wanted to be right on the water with access to a pool. This huge, beautiful, perfectly stocked condo was exactly what we wanted. Not only was it quiet and very peaceful, with an amazing view of the bay, the bird watching was incredible. They had all kinds of bird books that kept some of us happy, while others were thrilled to be out on the Kayaks on the water. We spent an afternoon at the beach club and on the beach body surfing. It was exactly as listed on VRBO. We would come back here in a heartbeat. Thanks for sharing your beautiful vacation home with us!

This was a chance for us to get-away. We have rented beach front properties in the area and this was a nice change - so much quieter including less traffic noise and yet you had access to the beach in minutes when you wanted. The location was ideal literally a few steps from Galveston Bay. We were not into fishing but saw a fair number of fisherman walk right out and come back with their catches. For bird watching, could not have been more entertaining - there was the marsh at high tide next to the unit as well as the bay. The owner mentioned humming birds so we set up a feeder and had regular visitors on the balcony. Also, the owners were very accommodating to a suggestion and put in a hand-held shower wand in the master to meet the needs of one of our party.

This was our first experience with renting property in this manner. This was a great value since we wanted to be close to the beach and didn't want to have multiple hotel rooms. The owners were very great to work with and getting in was very easy. It was also great that they have many items to help us enjoy the beach and the bay. We loved that there was so much to do. The only draw back was the distance to the restaurants. The draw back was also a benefit, it was like we had a private beach since we were so far away from the restaurants and shops.

Several ladies decided to find a chill getaway for the weekend. We all chose this place and are so happy we did! There was room for all of us and the accommodations have really nice furnishings and appointments. The kitchen is open and the view is spectacular! We enjoyed the beach club, as well! I can't wait to go back! Soon!!! This review is the subjective opinion of a TripAdvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.

Wonderful condo! The condo was filled with everything needed for an enjoyable vacation. Owners are helpful with any questions or issues that may arise. We enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend to anyone!

My family and I love Ken and Lisa's 3 bedroom condo. The amenities at the property are wonderful. The condo is beautiful and fully equipped. You'll find everything you need for a comfortable stay. We're looking forward to our next visit! This review is the subjective opinion of a TripAdvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.

We stayed at Arthur's Beach & Bay I & II with two other families (6 kids and 6 adults) over Memorial Weekend 2014. The bay was fun for the kids to fish and play around in. It is close enough for adults to watch them from the 2nd story balcony. We also enjoyed access to the owners golf cart and rented one additional golf cart to utilize the Beach Club and Beach. Overall, the stay was perfect and we'd definitely rent here again.

My family of 5 (3 boys) stayed in Arthur's Beach and Bay for the weekend. The elevator was great for hauling our gear up. The condo was much more luxuriously appointed than I was expecting. Everything was in perfect shape. The view of the bay is fantastic. We used the pool and beach access at the beach club. My whole family enjoyed wading in the bay just a few steps away from the condo. We picked up hermit crabs and shells in the shallow part of the bay. We can't wait for another stay. We highly recommend.

My family and I had a great weekend at this condo. Everything was very clean and well maintained. The views of the bay were amazing. The short drive to the beach is well worth it as it is one the cleanist beach in Galveston.

We and two other couples shared this condo comfortably, and had an absolutely wonderful time going to the beach and the bay! We had a great view, pleasant from sunrise to sunset, and thoroughly enjoyed the extras the owners provided. We would absolutely come here again, and hope to in fact.

My husband and I stayed here with 2 teenage girls and 2 preteen boys and we all thoroughly enjoyed the condo. The owners answered all of the questions we had. The kitchen had everything we needed. The kids took the owners kayaks out to the bay and I was able to watch them from the balcony. We spent a lot of time on the balcony. It was shaded for most of the day. We stayed during the week and the area was so quiet and peaceful. Short drive to the lazy river, swimming pool and ocean side of the island. I've already recommended the condo to two friends. Did I mention the great balcony?

I would definitely recommend this condo and the property to anyone! My family and I ( 4 adults, 3 kids) thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Arthur's. The decor, cleanliness and conveniences did not disappoint. The owners were extremely pleasant to deal with, even offering the use of their kayaks, beach equipment, etc, and quick to respond to any questions we had. Being on the bay side, rather than the beach, turned out to be so much more fun. We all enjoyed sitting out on the spacious patio relaxing and watching all the different birds diving for fish. I'm sure we'll go back to Galveston again, and when we do, we'll definitely try to stay at Arthur's!

This place is truly heaven-on-earth! I have stayed at Pointe West 3 times and this place is a stand-out. The bay side of Pointe West has the most amazing view - wildlife and fisherman amidst a serene background of amazing sunrises and sunsets. And the breeze!!! We are Houstonians and we were amazed at the wonderful and cool breeze! I hardly wanted to leave the porch! Lisa is a great hostess. The place is immaculate, comfortable, and homey. We communicated several times by email and phone for a seamless and perfect get-away. Don't miss this gem!

I stayed with my husband, two young kids, and my in-laws. We LOVED the condo! The balcony is very large and the view of the bay is beautiful. The sunsets are amazing. My kids loved watching the crabs scurry around at the shore of the bay. It is very peaceful and quiet. The condo was well-equipped, and we brought groceries and cooked while we were there. The beds were very comfortable (that's important!). The beach club is very nice, and the beach is the best I have been to in Galveston. The grill at the beach club served good, fresh food, at a pretty reasonable price. Everything in the condo and the beach club is handicap-accessible, which was important for us. We loved our stay and hope to be able to come back very soon!
