Great property! Clean & excellent location. A few small things would make it perfection. An extra blanket for someone sleeping on the sofa. Also, could not figure out how to turn on tv in bedroom. There isn’t an information notebook in the unit, I think that would have been helpful for tv and washer(which is really fancy & unlike any I’ve seen. Overall loved it & would definitely stay again.

The place was easy to get in and out of. Very clean and welcoming! Pet friendly, with small dog park area. The only reason I didn't give it a 5, was some small fixable stuff. The place desperately needs some kind of window covering in the living space. The morning sun is absolutely blinding. On top of that, there's a mirror that then shoots the beams in another direction completely taking away any chance of seeing the TV. Alsi, there needs to be a broom and dust pan. It's coastal...lots of sand. Also, needs kitchen towels .we would definitely stay there again, as I said, easy fixable stuff.

Disliked: Location
The only reason this got 3 stars is the condition of the property that this unit is located in. The unit itself was very clean, very well stocked and beautifully decorated. And it was just as described. The property in which this unit is located is awful. When we got there the doors into and out of the property were inoperable and they were automatic doors. So we had to open and close the doors by putting our fingers in between the doors to muscle them open and then manually close them. The elevators were very unreliable as well. Sometimes they worked and sometimes they didn't. The lobby was clean and the staff there at the front desk were very friendly and very apologetic. None of it was their fault. The fact that neither the entries and exits nor the elevators are reliable is a clear hazard that needs to be addressed by whomever is in charge of maintenance on that building. Before renting anything in this building, I would verify that the elevators and the exit doors are working properly and consistently.

We loved staying here. It was close to everything we needed. We enjoyed the balcony with the best view, especially for morning coffee and a glass or two of wine at night. Dax and Brett are wonderful hosts. I highly recommend for your next getaway. Wish we could have stayed longer.

The overall accommodations were great. There were a few things that were annoying. The air conditioner was noisy, the ice maker was noisy and the construction in the unit next door was disturbing early in the morning. We loved the view and enjoyed sitting and watching. Thanks, we enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to others. .

This property was perfect for my family of 3. My son loved the little bunk beds, and we loved the view from the balcony. Both pools were very nice, and it was great to have a second option to swim if one pool had more people in it. We would definitely book here again.

About the host

Hosted by Dax & Brett Christiansen, Hosts

Host profile image
Originally from Dallas, Dax and I are proud to call Galveston home. We have two schnauzers, Brody and Brooklyn - and they are happy to be called "Beach Dogs"! In addition to moving our home to the island, I relocated my law practice. It is infinitely more enjoyable drafting wills and handling probate matters sitting on (or at least near) the beach than drafting in an office that overlooks a parking garage.

Why they chose this property

I made my first visit to Galveston as an adult in 2012. I had a schnauzer, Logan, who I thought needed to see the ocean before he moved on. We stayed at By the Sea on that trip. Logan loved the trip and the beach. He was with me for two more fun trips. Each year we stayed a week and at By the Sea. This condo was our home for several years. For me, there was no question about it - By the Sea was definitely the place for me!

What makes this property unique

By the Sea - the view. AMAZING! You are spoiled from the minute you walk into our home. There are times when I stand in the kitchen and I flashback to being on a cruise ship at sea. Nothing but water as far as you can see. That is the view from the kitchen sink! The building residents and guests are friendly, and the BTS staff go above and beyond to make sure everyone has a great experience. The location of our condo in the building is perfect. You are able to watch all the activity that is the Seawall... and yet can pier above it and it is a whole different feel. We have a new hurricane rated door that provides excellent insulation. You can slide the door and close out most any noise from outside. Our location is convenient to everything that Galveston has to offer from water parks to amusement parks - to museums and confectionery shops. All minutes away. And the REAL unique benefit......mere steps to the sand and surf.
