About this property

Gorgeous Ocean Side Retreat with Resort Style Amenities

Welcome to Monkey Sea Monkey Dune at Pointe West – a charming ocean side retreat perfect for escaping the trials and tribulations of the daily grind, reconnecting with family and friends, and creating wonderful new memories that will last a lifetime. Spend your days exploring the gorgeous private beach where you can play to your heart’s content with no worries about vehicle traffic. Beach access via a dune walkover is just steps away and the beach is sure to be pristine as it is regularly manicured.

If you happen to feel like a change of pace then head over to one of two beautiful pools on the property. The Pointe West Beach Club offers a gorgeous infinity edge pool overlooking the ocean, a hot tub, a children's pool, a seasonal restaurant and bar, a fitness room, a gift shop, and a game room for the kids. The Sunset Pool offers a pool with a lazy river, a hot tub, a fire pit, and outdoor grills. As an added bonus you can bring your own refreshments to the Sunset Pool.

Finally, head back to Monkey Sea Monkey Dune as the sun begins to set and enjoy the spectacular sunset views gathered with friends and family on one of the two expansive Galveston Bay facing balconies.

The fully equipped kitchen will please the resident chef and offers all of the cookware, utensils, and spices that you will require to prepare an amazing meal. A full array of stainless steel appliances are provided including a French door refrigerator with ice maker, range, microwave oven, and a dishwasher to help you keep things sparkling clean during your stay. A breakfast bar with stools is the perfect place to share an informal meal with family and friends and a large dining room table is also available for the times when your entire group would like to enjoy a meal together.

The main living area is bathed in sunshine from a wall of Galveston Bay facing windows. An expansive deck overlooks a beautiful pond and water feature with views of Galveston Bay in the distance. After a fabulous day at the beach, the living area offers the ideal spot for your whole group to unwind and relax. You can hang out on the cozy sectional couch while you surf cable channels on the flat screen television or you can stream your favorite movie. You can also connect to the complementary Wi-Fi to check in on the real world back home if you so desire. Meanwhile, the private washer/dryer allows you to quickly and efficiently take care of the day's laundry.

When it's time to turn in after a busy day, Monkey Sea Monkey Dune offers four luxurious bedrooms equipped with comfortable beds and plush bedding and will easily accommodate up to ten guests and two small dogs with ease (a non-refundable nightly pet fee applies). Four full baths means that there is no waiting in line in the morning or after a long day at the beach. All four bedrooms also feature flat screen televisions with Direct TV.

The master suite features a king size bed, and a beautiful en suite bathroom with a jetted garden tub, a walk-in shower, and a large closet. The master suite also features a large private Galveston Bay facing deck which is the perfect place to enjoy some romantic quiet time later in the evening. The second bedroom features a queen bed with an en suite bathroom and a private gulf facing deck with peek a boo views of the beach and surf. The third bedroom also features a queen bed and an en suite bathroom. The fourth bedroom is set up especially for the younger ones in your group and features two sets of comfy bunk beds.

If you happen to be up for a fun filled day trip then downtown Galveston is only thirty minutes away. Galveston offers an endless array of attractions including Moody Gardens, the Pleasure Pier, and the Schlitterbahn water park. For the adults in the group the Strand Historic District offers plenty of night life and entertainment.

Rally weekend
Although we attend the rally every year, this was our first time to stay here. We thoroughly enjoyed it. The neighborhood is wonderful, and so is the house. We had everything we needed, and the owners absolutely went above and beyond to ensure our stay was a great experience. I even left a personal item at the house after our stay ended, and they retrieved it for us and worked with us and made sure we got it back. We will definitely book with them again. It was a pleasure!!

Great stay in Pointe West!
We truly enjoyed our stay at Monkey Sea, Monkey Dune. The home is spacious and well appointed with just about everything you could possibly need while on vacation. We enjoyed sitting on the porch and relaxing in the hammock. The beach is a short walk away and so peaceful. The hosts are fantastic — super communicative and helpful. Thanks for the memories. It was a trip to remember!
