With stunning views and the best amenities on the island you will reach tranquility the moment you step through the door. Your stay includes access to the best concierge on the island, golf cart, and various indoor/outdoor games. Our goal is for you to leave feeling relaxed and full of memories. Access to the beach club and pools requires a $25/per person fee for the duration of your stay. Kids 4 and under are free. This fee is paid directly to the club, separate from your reservation.
The Home

Tranquil Turtle consists of 4,000 square feet with an additional 2,500 square feet of decking. Almost every room and deck features spectacular views of the Bay and Wetlands allowing you to soak in the atmosphere from anywhere. The deck’s mosquito misting system sprays three times a daily allowing you to truly enjoy the expansive outdoor living spaces.



The large kitchen is equipped for the chef of the group. It opens to the spacious living room dining area allowing everyone to spend time together after a fun day at the beach, pool or fishing. The kitchen is fully stocked with pots, pans and utensils (along with necessities such as spices, condiments and oils) so that grocery runs are limited. Coffee area includes a stocked Kuerig and drip machine and French press. The deck is setup with a gas grill and utensils for serving up some tasty Texas surf and turf!



The first floor holds the main gathering spaces, master king suite, cabana/guest king suite, and a light and airy secondary bedroom. The living room invites everyone throughout the house to come and go at their leisure. It connects to the rear deck which extends throughout the floor and includes speakers, gathering spaces, a grill and dining table, and amazing views.



The decks all feature breathtaking views of the bay, and are setup to allow group gatherings or solitude. The main deck features three separate living areas. The first is a sofa sectional surrounding an outdoor wood burning fireplace over which hangs a tv perfect for sports viewing! The others are for grilling/eating and socializing. Soak in the spectacular bay sunsets while enjoying an evening refreshment or while you are grilling.



2nd Floor

The second-floor functions as a separate living area with 3 bedrooms. A queen bedroom and bunk room (4 twin beds) are connected by a jack-and-jill bathroom. A queen bedroom at the top of the stairs also has a twin trundle bed and 75" TV. A full bathroom is adjacent to this bedroom as well as direct deck access.



Take the telescope (with cell phone app for easy discovery) out to the sun deck for star gazing on clear Texas nights. An assortment of kids toys can also be found in the metal bins in the hallway.



Truly a spectacular home designed for entertaining and with a crescent-shaped floor plan and enormous picture windows in every room ensuring that each room has an incredible view of the water!



Pointe West Beach Club

The home includes access to the Pointe West Beach Club, which includes pools and hot tubs over two locations, a lazy river, wonderful restaurant, bar, and game room. Access to the beach club is $15 per person (for your entire visit), wristband and door codes provided when you check in to the Beach Club. The resort features the widest, most beautiful beaches in Galveston as well as the beach club swimming pools and hot tub facing the beach, a fitness center, game room, corn hole and gift shop. A basketball court is a short walk or quick golf card ride past the beach club. A short ride to the bay side allows you to visit another pool, lazy river and hot tub.



Please be aware that we do allow guests to bring dogs (2 or less of any size) and we have dogs of our own that occasionally come to the home so if you have severe pet allergies please take note.



There are 2 other exterior cameras on the property that are not monitored.



Wildlife Warnings – Tranquil Turtle is located in one of the most beautiful and natural settings in Texas. This nature includes bugs and insects big and small, animals, crabs, sharks, bees, rattlesnakes and more. We have pest control and set rattlesnake traps on the perimeter of the property. Occasionally, however, nature will enter the Tranquil Turtle and should not be cause for alarm. If you have any issue with pests, please contact us immediately.



Parties, gatherings over 16 people, and smoking are not allowed.

Kristen's place was absolutely perfect for our ladies yearly reunion plus baby shower. I picked this place because of the living room, dining area and outdoor areas!! I wanted a living room space that we could all be together comfortably. Two refrigerators in the kitchen was perfect for all the groceries, drinks and wines!! We also utilize the small standing pantry next to the small fridge. The amenities in the kitchen was beyond my imagination. You don't need to bring anything. (We did bring our own paper plates because we did not want to wash dishes). But we did use everything else. The bedroom (casita) outside the patio was perfect for my daughter and her baby so that they had a quiet place for naps and sleeping. The house felt like you were visiting a friend’s house with all the amenities of everyday life from Q-tips to games to even having throw blankets to use while chilling on the couch. We did not go anywhere. We enjoyed just being together in the house.

Kristin, with Eva, have created a stunning coastal Texas experience. The amazing home, the wetlands, the views - all speak of the unique ecosystem of beautiful Galveston Island. Kristin was responsive, fast, patient, and generous with the home. Although we brought our essentials, the kitchen was well stocked in case something was forgotten. Rooms and baths were spotless, comfortable, and had bath amenities. Shared family areas, decks, outdoors encouraged fun and connection. I would totally recommend a stay there, and we're looking forward to returning soon and staying connected. Thanks, Kristin and Eva!

Gorgeous home with all the comforts of home and more! The home fit all 12 family members and friends where every grouping got their own space and bathroom. Outside is gorgeous and we enjoyed riding around in the golf cart. West Pointe Beach Club was perfect for the kids, teens and adults. Plus, we did some fun activities in Galveston: Pleasure Pier, The Strand, Rainforest Cafe, etc. There were plenty of towels, blankets, kitchenware, etc. Plus, customer service was very responsive and professional. Would definitely recommend!

Kristen’s house is nestled in a quiet neighborhood on the bay side. It was very peaceful and the sunsets were absolutely stunning. We were able to see many varieties of birds flying around the bay. We had a wonderful, relaxing time and look forward to coming back again. Thank you!

Beautiful location - peaceful, fantastic bird watching, incredible sunsets (and a double rainbow on our last day). House was comfortable for everyone in the family. House and kitchen well provisioned. Enjoyed tooling around in the golf cart. Kristen was incredibly responsive and helpful. Our best Airbnb experience yet!

Our multi-generational family gathering for Father’s Day weekend was a great experience. Host (Kristen) is incredibly responsive and helpful. The house is well-laid out, expansive, clean, and modern.Decks are nicely outfitted with outdoor dining space, living space, and chair groupings. Well-equipped with books, toys, kitchen equipment, coffee, coffee machine and propane grill. Golf cart is an outstanding feature. Equipped for large groups on inside as well. We had quick access to two community pools (after collecting wristbands at beach club) and nearby (golf cart ride’s distance) boardwalks to beach. A/C is tri-zoned, 1) upstairs, 2) all of downstairs, except—3) master + separate king room with deck access only. Anyone considering this place should know, particularly if you are all families with young children, that one set of parents will not have in-house access to their children. It happened to work for our group. Grandparents had full privacy and quiet! Very serene.

This house was beautiful! It was very accommodating, with everything we needed. I have 2 boys 7 and 4, they loved their room and all the toys that came with it! The view of the ocean is beautiful! I would revisit this house again in the future. The only thing I recommend is LOTS of bug spray! The mosquitoes were awful but that was anywhere with grass near by! The host does spray around the house and I did not have any bug issues on the balcony!

Too far away from any bar or restaurant, I specifically ask about the community pool and bar and was told it would all be open and functional when we arrive. This was not the case! The house was as expected just very disappointed in the amenities.
Show more
Response:Hi Shawn, I am sorry to hear you were disappointed in the amenities however no host is able to help with an issue when they are told about it three days AFTER you check out. I could have put you in touch with the management (the Beach Club is operated independently from our property). When I spoke to the association's management company as well as the the Beach Club office the assured me that the gym, game room and pools were fully operational during your stay. While the restaurant construction had not been completed yet, they did have food trucks on site 3 days during your stay. In the future, please help your hosts out and let them know when you are unhappy or have an issue and I promise that almost every one of us is going to try to resolve it and make your stay enjoyable.
