Our first time in Galveston and at By the Sea. Check in was easy and seamless. Instructions emailed prior were clear and easy to follow. Loved the view of the gulf and the outside seating to just watch the water and the people. The unit was clean and we had no issues. Great place and a great stay!
Peaceful, relaxing, wonderful location and excellent views. Welcoming condo, feels like coming to a close friend's home. Thank you for the fabulous stay.

Wonderful Stay
The condo was clean, and very relaxing. Everyone at the property was extremely nice, and helpful. Gulf view was amazing!
We loved the condo, it literally has EVERYTHING you will need, I had brought with me dish soap, dish sponge, a Keurig, coffee pods, etc...No need to unpack, they had it all. They even have snacks! I loved that they are thoughtful of their guest!

From the owner: “Coral,Thank you for the super nice review. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay and found the condo comfortable and ready for you. We hope you'll come back. It will be hard to earn a better review than this, but we'll try.Blessings.”
The condo was great for our family of 3. It was in a great location and had everything we needed. A couple notes….read the fine print. I didn’t notice the 38 parking fee when booking, so that was a surprise, but it is listed (I just didn’t read all the way through).
We have stayed in at least three other apartments in BY THE SEA....This is the best so far. Super clean and the bed configuration was excellent. Toilet flush takes a bit getting used to ....explosive! Kitchen facilities were really good well organized and new. Everything worked.......all staff were friendly and cooperative. A great four day break.
This condo did not disappoint. Everything was comfortable and cozy. Loved the beach decor with scriptural references. Building felt safe and secure. The front desk personnel were incredibly friendly and helpful! Beds were comfortable and there was plenty of hot water. You couldn’t ask for a better location overlooking the beach! We look forward to booking this condo again and would recommend it to anyone!
We stayed for spring break. Condo was clean and tastefully decorated. It was a nice, but a bit cramped for my family of four. The only sitting area in the living room is the couch. We moved a small chair from the bedroom to the living room for more sitting space. It should be noted that the room with the queen bed and daybed is the room with the en-suite. The room with just the queen bed is VERY small. Hardly any room for luggage (thus moving the small chair to the living room). That bedroom also does not have curtains or blinds. Made getting ready difficult, if the bathroom was occupied. It would be nice if curtains/blinds were added because this room faces a busy road.Thing that bother me the most was no communication with our contact person, Crystal. Upon check in the smart tvs were not connected to the WiFi. The TV also would not let us sign into the WiFi. It asked us to restart the router. We could not find the router in the condo. I called Crystal twice and left messages. No reply. Ever. After a couple of hours and no reply, we unplugged the tvs and were able to get connected to the WiFi. Also, listing description says there is a drip coffee maker. The coffee maker is there, but pot seems to be missing. Another thing, is there are no beach equipment provided. This is the first VRBO I’ve stayed in that is located on the beach that didn’t provided chairs, toys or coolers to use. So you may want to bring your own.

Comfortable condo
Very comfortable, well appointed and stocked condo. Pretty much everything you could possibly want is there, including thoughtful beach towels. We were there during Francine and had a “down day” of just hanging inside. We weren't able to log into our own premium cable networks so take DVDs if you may want to watch a movie during your stay, but not a deal breaker. We will be back near year!

From the owner: "Debbe, thank you for your thoughtful review. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay. I am curious about the inability to log in to your personal networks. We understood you were supposed to be able to do that. I am going to check on that with Xfinity next week. We look forward to having you back, Debbe. Thanks for staying at Tortuga By The Sea."
The unit was very nice but the stairwell and elevators were dirty. The pool is not heated. There is no fitness center. Staff was friendly. Very busy highway between unit and beach.

Galveston vaca
Pros: I absolutely love the location. It’s really across from the beach and not in one of the slanted “views”. We had plenty of room and the place is gorgeous, homey and comfortable. I would’ve loved to stay longer. Cons: We ran out of toilet paper and was told we had to either buy our own or contact the company and wait for them to bring more. Lastly, there was hair in the bathtub and in the bed.

From the owner: "Rebeccah, what a lovely review. Thank you for both the pros and cons. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay. We would love to have you back."
Overall the stay was nice! Got locked out of the condo at one point and had to wait for the property manager to come let us in but they got there pretty quickly. Several light bulbs out in the bathrooms above mirrors but nothing we couldn’t work with. Great balcony with beach view to relax on in the morning and evenings. Beds were comfortable and provided all supplies needed for the stay!
