Great location

Easy access to the beach, seemed to be less crowded than other places. AC had a hard time keeping up but ceiling fans helped out with that.

Great time!

Lovely, comfortable condo with most everything needed for a week’s stay, including thoughtful electronic charging stations in the condo. Well maintained property, friendly staff, nice pool area and beautiful landscaping. Wonderful gulf view away from the chaos and crowds on the East end of the island. Thanks for a great time!

"By the Sea" had everything you would need for a family getaway. The staff on the front desk were helpful and genuinely interested in the guests. Both beds and bathrooms were great. The beach is just across the road, well kept and free from litter. Restaurants for all tastes. We enjoyed a drone light show in the center of Galveston on Labor Day. Although the weather was very wet we enjoyed the clouds and the rainbows that it produced. especially from the 7th floor. Took some great pictures ,we all had a great time.

Average property. Return air vent in guest bathroom was rusty. Couch and loveseat in living room worn and not real comfortable. Low water pressure in bathrooms.

Loved the location, but…

The location was amazing, but the elevator rarely worked and hiking up 7 flights of stairs did physically impact some of our party. The air conditioner in our unit was not up to par, the unit was relatively warm. The owner of the unit was awesome though. The front desk personell were amazing

Beautiful view in a perfect location!

We love to visit Galveston and this was our first time at this unit. Check in was so easy! The unit was clean and easy to access. The view is even better in person. Lots of space with a real home like feel. The front desk staff were very friendly and clear about any expectations. The property was clean and well taken care of. The beds were so comfy too! We loved that trash pick up was right outside the door twice a day. The walk to the beach took seconds it was amazing. The washer and dryers were on the first floor but very easy to use with an app on your phone and credit card. Thank you for sharing your home with my family.

About the host

Hosted by Mike Skiles

Host profile image
Mike and Sandy have been married 56 years...Four grown children and five grandchildren. Sandy is a retired hairstylist and salon owner in the Hurst. Bedford Euless area and Mike is a retired Producer of the Texas Family Musicals which produces the Galveston Summer Musicals at Moody Gardens. and in three theaters in the DFW area. They live in Bedford, Texas when not working in Galveston during the summer. Both are avid cruise enthusiasts who take 3-4 cruises out of Galveston each year

Why they chose this property

We love it and never get tired of it...After all these years, the view is overwhelming. We love to watch the waves from our sofa.. It has all the amenities that we would ever pool, gas grills, tennis courts, laundry in the building, 24 hour security and a community coffee room downstairs. Even during the winter, we bundle up and sit on the balcony while enjoying our morning coffee. We try to have everything available to insure we and our guests have a very enjoyable stay...i.e 3 flat screen TVs, cable TV and wifi. We enjoy the private parking and having the beach just across the street.
Each bedroom has a queen memory foam bed that we thoroughly enjoy. The two full baths is a real luxury also!

What makes this property unique

We think that the view is the best view in Galveston. You can sit on the balcony with a panoramic view of the Gulf and watch dolphins jump, people swim and seagulls and pelicans dive. It has a quiet family atmosphere but plenty of things to do for the children. It is just five minutes away from the Water Park and Moody Gardens.
