Welcome to Las Brisas in Lovely Pointe West, Galveston, Texas!!
Our home is a spacious and comfortable 3-bedroom with 3 baths in the Pointe West community and furnished in a beachy upscale style. Beautiful NEW ceramic wood flooring throughout our home with state of the art stainless steel kitchen appliances, new strong air conditioner to keep you cool, king-sized memory foam bed in master bedroom, blackout drapes in all bedrooms and Smart TVs throughout. Access the beach via a community boardwalk just a few steps away.
As our guest at Las Brisas (personally owned and managed), you will have easy access to the house via your personal lock code - which means no coordinating schedules to pick up/drop off keys and no danger of losing keys at the beach!
We have an open floor plan with a fully equipped kitchen so you have everything you need to feed your family in style. The large dining table seats 7 and 3 breakfast bar stools. There is also an outdoor deck table with 3 chairs. The picnic table under the house seats another 6. We also have a card table and 4 chairs stored in a closet if you need it. If you prefer to grill, there is a Webber grill and fire pit that may be used for grilling on the lower patio right next to the fountain pond. Be sure to bring coals!
The house technology is complete with free wireless wifi. SmartTVs in each bedroom and living room with Xfinity X1 Cable.

In the event you need to connect to the outside world, you can connect your laptop to the in-house wireless system anywhere, including sitting on the decks and under the house. Sand chairs and beach toys are provided in the garage. Outdoor shower makes rinsing off the sand from the day at the beach easy.
Enjoy the balmy breezes and the sound of the sea while relaxing on the couches on the upstairs patio or Adirondack chairs in the shaded downstairs patio, all while soaking in the view and being soothed by the lovely spray fountain in the pond. Large master bedroom has a beautiful view of the pond with the fountain and of the bay, a king-size memory foam bed and a fold-down full-size sleeper sofa with a private deck for watching the sunset or sipping your morning coffee and watching the local birds—pelicans, cranes, cormorants, roseate spoonbills, snowy egrets, and seagulls, just to name a few.
