Report
My family had a recent stay at Sapphire Skies in Pointe West. We loved it! The house was beautiful and the floor plan fit our family perfectly. The house was beautifully decorated and the kitchen was exceptionally stocked! A truly beautiful home! Loved the towel packets and very comfortable beds! We really enjoyed the Beach Club pools and restaurant. So convenient. And great food! The private beach was so nice and clean. Having the beach club pools gave us the full experience as our kids got tired of the beach and it was refreshing to go to the pools!
Plus drinks and snacks there! Sand 'n Sea was very responsive while we were booking and gave us awesome information for restaurants, beach chairs, and golf cart rental. The beach chair setup was awesome as was our golf cart rental. The golf cart trails at PW are much appreciated! This was a 5 star facility and a 5 star vacation! 5 stars to Sand 'n Sea for sure! Will definitely book through SNS in the future! I love my SNS hat in the Welcome packet!

We stayed in a Sand N Sea property, Island Time, for Spring Break 2022. During our stay we experienced numerous issues including no air conditioning (had to sleep with box fans) and the water being shut off (we could not shower to attend a family function). Sand N Sea Properties extended a partial refund of $150 for our "inconvenience" promising an additional $150 from the owner. We spent $2,793 with Sand N Sea for the partial week and weekend just on lodging.
I have called numerous times to request the status of the additional $150 refund without success. I am constantly told the person I need to speak with is in a meeting and will get back with me. This is not the review I hoped to leave them but our "Island Time" was anything but!

Absolutely stunning views! Being able to make lunch in the gourmet kitchen and watch the kids playing on the beach was incredible! Luxury at its finest and ultimate convenience. The location of the house is also super close to our favorite restaurants in Galveston. The home is breathtaking and is a paradise in itself. Pictures don't do it justice at all. The amount of rooms and space is amazing for multiple families. We can't wait to go back! 11 out of 10!

We have been renting beach houses from Sand N Sea for many years and love the SNS experience! We can always depend on the fact that SNS provides a high level of customer service from start to finish. We recently rented a beach house (Morning Star) from SNS. Great house with lots of room & lots of large beds for adults! This type of beach house is hard to find as most have more rooms/beds for kids.
This house is designed for lots of adults and still has 4 large bunks for kids. Everything from top to bottom was high end quality. Everything was amazing and using Sand N Sea couldn't be easier!
