Perfect for the family

We had a fantastic time in this fun and funky joint. Don't leave your flip flops behind, they'll probably end up as decor! It's perfectly located with an unobstructed view of the gulf and minutes from the top attractions like Moody Gardens and Shlitterbahn. The amenities were great and the space was very comfortable. Well done.

Great Condo at By the Sea

Owners have done a great job of remodeling, the double paned sliding doors to balcony really kept out the traffic noise from Seawall. Very well stocked with cooler and wagon and beach chairs. Includes free use of umbrella and chairs at Babes Beach (well free to renter). crock pot and air fryer are nice touches and Queen inflatable mattress came in handy.

By the sea

The location was great. Wonderful views from balcony. Super nice staff in the building. Cat was easy to communicate with. There is a lot of traffic in front of the condo but it’s very quiet with the outside door closed but quite loud when you’re sitting outside

Anniversary Stay

My husband and I booked this place for our Anniversary. It was a great stay, beds were comfry, place was clean, loved sitting on the balcony and watching the view. The blower on the furnace went out the second day we were there (which wasn’t a big deal) & Cat was wonderful and got the AC to fix it asap. Not a lot of noise coming from others staying there, and the front desk lady we had was hilarious, she even laughed at my husbands bad jokes lol. Great place! Thanks for the stay!

Weekend staycation in Galveston

Husband, son and I stayed here for 2 nights for a mini stay-cation before ramping up for the school year. We had a fantastic time! Loved the beach chairs and umbrella rental included, beach literally right across the street. The wagon and cooler provided with the rental also came in handy for carting stuff to/from the beach. The view from the balcony every morning and evening was great as well. Owners communication was fantastic, zero complaints. Quiet property, felt secure leaving truck parked out from at night etc. Will definitely book again!!

Great place to stay!

This condo has everything we needed for our extended stay. The best stocked condo we have ever stayed at and Kat was wonderful to work with. She was very responsive, prompt to answer questions. And sincerely cared about your stay! Definitely would stay here the next time in Texas!

Perfectly located, felt like home, exactly what we needed

We absolutely loved our stay in the condo! As soon as we walked in, it was easy to get situated and set up for our 4 day stay. Everything was clean and had a great view of the beach which was a simple walk across the street. Thank you for providing a cart and boogies boards for the experience along with the beach chair and umbrella rental perk. That was a game changer for us! We loved that the condo is close to a ton of restaurants and also just down the road from Kroger so we could grab some of the basics. The laundry system was easy to use and super convenient. The keyless entry was super convenient and so great. Even our 7 year old was excited to get to punch in the numbers! Between the paint colors and the colorful bowls and cups, there was an air of fun and festivity built in to an already good time! It was so easy to call this place home and rest and relax.

Newby to Galveston

All went well, until Sunday am. Woke up w/ no power. Took owner of building a few hrs to try to make coffee on the grill. All coffee shops were backed up, so we ended up just going back & packing up to leave. Power did come on, but no elevator service until fire company could come & reset later that day.

Great view, but uncomfortable bed in ocean-view bedroom

Great view! Location was pretty good except for having to cross a very busy 4-lane road to get to the beach. The ocean-view bedroom had an extremely uncomfortable bed that bowed whenever someone laid on it. My girlfriend and I moved to the back bedroom (non-ocean view) since the bed was more comfortable, but unfortunately we weren't able to have a great ocean view. If the owners fix the bed in the ocean-view bedroom, we'd definitely stay here again.

The condo is located equidistant between two traffic lights, which means that you have to do a bit of walking if you want to cross at a signal (say when you are loaded down with beach supplies). Tip: load up your vehicle in the morning and drive it over to the seawall (parking is free in this area). That way it is easier to pack in and out. In the meantime, you can cross the street quickly during the day if needed.

Lovely condo

We had a great time staying here. The owner Cat Caszatt is very helpful and responsive. The location is great and the views from the balcony are amazing. Beach is right across the road. Condo is very well furnished and fully stocked. You get free beach umbrella and two chairs on the beach across. Would love to stay again.

Fun! Clean and well-appointed.

We truly enjoyed the stay (family stay combined w/business conference for one). The condo was very neat and clean, and had basic amenities and was well-stocked, as to towels, etc. and COFFEE!! The front desk was very helpful, as well. I/we are VERY likely to book this cheerful condo and By the Sea, again! Beach/surf front!! Great job, Caszatts and BTS!

Loved By The Sea

We loved the condo. It was very nice inside and clean. The kitchen had everything we needed. It was everything we expected. Loved the view. Crossing the Seawall Street was a little busy but it was nice being close to Babe's Beach. The condo was close to all the other beaches, restaurants and shopping. Great location. The lobby people who worked the front desk were nice. We met a nice couple who owned one of the condos. We felt very comfortable staying there. The pool and the grounds were nice and clean. We hated to leave. We had a wonderful time and loved Galveston.

Great View and Location!

5 to 15 minutes from everything! 3rd floor is the perfect height and the view was everything! No need to have to find parking because you literally walk across to the beach (it was not hard to get across the road at all). Comfortable master bed. On the less crowded end of town. The beach was clean and so was the condo. Cat was very easy to work with, responded to emails right away and really cares that you have a great experience. Rent this condo!

Nice view but not a very nice place to stay!

We loved the beach view and welcoming front desk people but not the condo! For the price we paid i would have expected a much better and clean space. We initially planned to stay outdoors most of the time so we did not mind when we stepped in but weather kept us in. We had 7 months old and there was dust under the sofa, end tables etc which i had to clean personally. The beds were comfortable but the pillows were not, queen pillows that were too old had king covers. The kitchen needed supplies at least salt, sugar and pepper with so many utensils around i was surprised we didnt have even those around. The floor was cold and no rugs anywhere in the house except a one in balcony and restrooms. If you have kids bring your own board games, extra comforters, towels, toiletries. The fan in one of the bedrooms was broken and cannot be switched off. I would say if you are not planning to stay indoors most of the time, this place is not the one to be in else manageable! This condo badly needs an update, too much of slipper hangings, wallpapers etc that it can become a little too annoying!!!
