Very well stocked with cooler and wagon and beach chairs. Includes free use of umbrella and chairs at Babes Beach (well free to renter). crock pot and air fryer are nice touches and Queen inflatable mattress came in handy. ##### Diana R.

It was a great stay, beds were comfry, place was clean, loved sitting on the balcony and watching the view. The blower on the furnace went out the second day we were there (which wasn’t a big deal) & Cat was wonderful and got the AC to fix it asap. Not a lot of noise coming from others staying there, and the front desk lady we had was hilarious, she even laughed at my husbands bad jokes lol. Great place! Thanks for the stay! ##### Winter F.

We had a fantastic time! Loved the beach chairs and umbrella rental included, beach literally right across the street. The wagon and cooler provided with the rental also came in handy for carting stuff to/from the beach. The view from the balcony every morning and evening was great as well. Owners communication was fantastic, zero complaints. Quiet property, felt secure leaving truck parked out from at night etc. Will definitely book again!! ##### Renee S.

Loved that each bedroom had their own bathrooms, and also that the kitchen had everything you could need to cook with. Condo is within walking distance of the beach and conveniently located to all the attractions. Would definitely recommend this to al my friends ##### Diana R. ### 10/10 Excellent #### RUBY 23 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, communication The elevator was down a few times, a minor inconvenience. ##### RUBY Stayed 6 nights in Jun 2024 This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent 22 May 2008 #### Guestbook Comment My wife booked this condo last year and loved it so much she advertised for it for free on her own website (which isn't even a real-estate or vacation rental site). I had my first stay here this past weekend and now I see why she brags about the place so much. Great location, spectacular view, easy access to room and lobby, awesome parking, great security and residents, no negatives in my book & I am picky. My little girl loves the place, especially her own 'purple' room. I think my favorite aspect of the condo was the big kitchen (I love to cook). Thanks Cat! ### 8/10 Good #### JACK B. 28 Aug 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great view, but uncomfortable bed in ocean-view bedroom Great view! Location was pretty good except for having to cross a very busy 4-lane road to get to the beach. The ocean-view bedroom had an extremely uncomfortable bed that bowed whenever someone laid on it. My girlfriend and I moved to the back bedroom (non-ocean view) since the bed was more comfortable, but unfortunately we weren't able to have a great ocean view. If the owners fix the bed in the ocean-view bedroom, we'd definitely stay here again. ##### JACK B. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2020 This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joseph L. 4 Jul 2016 #### Excellent Condo, highly recommended! I took my daughter down to Galveston for the weekend of 6/24 - 6/27/16 for a couple full days of the beach and exploring. Cat's place was as advertised. Her condo was very spacious. The kitchen is fully loaded with utensils, plates and cups. The 2 bedrooms AND 2 bathrooms really came in handy, especially with a teenage daughter who needs her own space. I felt like the bed was comfortable, and living room with a soft couch and recliner was perfect after a long day at the beach and dolphin watching. You can't beat the view of the beach. You are just across from the beach as Cat's pictures indicated, but beware crossing the street for a quick dip as traffic is a little heavy during the weekend. The front desk attendant was responsive during check-in as I received a parking pass (don't forget to do this otherwise you'll get towed). The pool was spacious if you want a break from the saltwater and there are 2 gas grills on the patio for grilling (with utensils on hand). I highly recommend this place for any kind of getaway. ##### Joseph L. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kishore A. 17 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Great view from the Balcony, living room and one of the bedroom. ##### Kishore A.

As soon as we walked in, it was easy to get situated and set up for our 4 day stay. Everything was clean and had a great view of the beach which was a simple walk across the street. Thank you for providing a cart and boogies boards for the experience along with the beach chair and umbrella rental perk. That was a game changer for us! We loved that the condo is close to a ton of restaurants and also just down the road from Kroger so we could grab some of the basics. The laundry system was easy to use and super convenient. The keyless entry was super convenient and so great. Even our 7 year old was excited to get to punch in the numbers! Between the paint colors and the colorful bowls and cups, there was an air of fun and festivity built in to an already good time! It was so easy to call this place home and rest and relax. ##### Ellen E.

Woke up w/ no power. Took owner of building a few hrs to try to make coffee on the grill. All coffee shops were backed up, so we ended up just going back & packing up to leave. Power did come on, but no elevator service until fire company could come & reset later that day. ##### Karen P.

We had a great time, enjoyed the condo. It had everything we needed and expected it to have. Patio was great! Pictures are exactly what it looks like. ##### Eugenia S. Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 30 Jul 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The condo is located equidistant between two traffic lights, which means that you have to do a bit of walking if you want to cross at a signal (say when you are loaded down with beach supplies). Tip: load up your vehicle in the morning and drive it over to the seawall (parking is free in this area). That way it is easier to pack in and out. In the meantime, you can cross the street quickly during the day if needed. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Riyaz S. 18 Jul 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lovely condo We had a great time staying here. The owner Cat Caszatt is very helpful and responsive. The location is great and the views from the balcony are amazing. Beach is right across the road. Condo is very well furnished and fully stocked. You get free beach umbrella and two chairs on the beach across. Would love to stay again. ##### Riyaz S. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jacquelyn D. 26 Oct 2018 #### Fun! Clean and well-appointed. We truly enjoyed the stay (family stay combined w/business conference for one). The condo was very neat and clean, and had basic amenities and was well-stocked, as to towels, etc. and COFFEE!! The front desk was very helpful, as well. I/we are VERY likely to book this cheerful condo and By the Sea, again! Beach/surf front!! Great job, Caszatts and BTS! ##### Jacquelyn D. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sheila T. 10 Aug 2018 #### Wonderful! Absolutely loved our stay! We have stayed at several other condos in By the Sea, and this condo by far surpasses the others. Colorful, clean and so convenient. Already planning for next year! ##### Sheila T.
