Great location with easy access to the Strand and Tiki Island. Ocean front with wonderful views. Unit has been updated with nice appliances, TVs. The king bed was very comfortable. The complex was quiet. Communication with the hosts was easy and they were very responsive. Unit was very clean and comfortable. Our only complaint is that the water pressure in the unit was incredibly low at all taps and the shower

Good Condo and location for the money. Not a fan of playing Frogger to get to the beach. Very low water pressure from all water sources…interior could use some professional cleaning and updates/repairs…trim, vents, ceilings could use some love. TV in bedroom would turn on but we couldn’t change the channels. Lack of towels in kitchen and only had 2 shower towels…so bring extra.

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.

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.

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.
