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!

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.

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!
