Welcome to Sand N Sea - where you get exactly what the name says - views of the Sand and the Sea!

By The Sea (A condominium building) is located on Seawall Boulevard literally across Seawall Boulevard from the beach - and we'd love to host you at this lovely, 2 bedroom, 2 bath condo. From the queen beds in each of the 2 bedrooms, to the sleeper sofa in the living room - there's room for all. And 2 full bathrooms is close to unheard of in a 2 bedroom condo - but here is where you'll find it!

The kitchen has all full sized appliances and everything you'll need to prepare all of your own meals if you wish, or just heat up leftovers from any of Galveston's great restaurants - from fast food to fine dining/white tablecloth dining - you'll find it here on our little slice of paradise.

Very spacious condo, balcony overlooking the gulf where you can enjoy your morning coffee while wave and bird watching.

Visiting Galveston for one of the many competitive events hosted here? Cheer, dance, sports tournaments or conferences? Weddings, family reunions, class reunions, festivals, homes tours, or any other groups? Why squeeze into a tiny hotel room when your entire group could stay in their own condos and enjoy "together time" at the pools, hot tubs, etc. instead!

Being about 5 blocks from a big box store makes shopping a breeze whether for food and beverage selections, beach necessities you may have forgotten, or souvenirs to remind you of your trip to the Texas gulf coast.

By the Sea condominiums are located across from Babe’s Beach on Galveston’s Seawall.

You will have exclusive use of the entire condo - and share the pool, propane grill areas, fire pit, tennis court, laundry facility and fenced dog area (if Fido or Fifi is joining you) and other public spaces with other guests and residents of By the Sea.

What's included: While we provide our guests with self check-in information and instructions, you can call us with any questions you may have at any time.

You certainly COULD stay here without a car - you can walk to shopping, eateries and the beach, there is public transportation nearby, and there are several local and nationally "branded" taxi services as well as ride share (Uber, Lyft) programs in place as well as meal deliveries (UberEats, ASAP (formerly WAITR) and DoorDash available as well. We provide self check in instructions 24-72 hours prior to arrival - and when you are on vacation - YOU ARE ON VACATION. Should you need to reach us, however, we are but a phone call or email away and ready to assist you. We are happy to answer any questions at any time, but to ensure we give you the correct code we cannot provide access instructions earlier than this.

Bed linens for all beds, one bath, hand and wash cloth for each guest that the unit welcomes. We do not provide beach/pool towels as when we did – they continuously went home with our guests. If you wish to “rent” beach towels from us – it is $25 for condos that accommodate up to 6 guests and $35 for condos that accommodate up to 8 guests. Which is only the additional cost of the laundering of them – labor time, laundry products, etc. We will need to have a credit card on file for this as if there are beach towels missing upon your departure, the charge is $25 per towel. We ask that our bath towels not be removed from the condo and taken to the beach or pool. They can get damaged or lost.

Starter supplies: 2 rolls of 2-ply, quilted toilet paper, a roll of paper towels, a dishwasher tablet, small dishwashing liquid, sponge, 2 small soaps, 2 small shampoos, trash bag, and coffee including sweeteners, stir sticks, powdered creamer to make that first pot. These are intended to get you started while you make your list and decide where to shop (there is a WalMart, Kroger, Randall's, Arlan's and Target on the island, as well as many mom & pop grocery stores.

By the Sea – like almost every condominium complex and hotel in Galveston, charges a parking/resort/amenity fees. This is not a charge from My Galveston Getaway and is paid directly to the complex upon your arrival. They will issue a parking permit and may issue wristbands that identify guests who are authorized at the complex. The charge is $37.89 (tax included) per vehicle per stay (not per night). Anything with tires – so truck & trailer is 2 vehicles. They also charge a per pet fee of $10.83 per animal. Make sure you’ve let My Galveston Getaway know you’re bringing a dog and paid that fee as well ($75 per dog and dogs only.) Service animals are the exception. Please know for vacation rental purposes, ESA’s (emotional support animals) are not service animals and not exempt from rules and charges. We are unable to collect this in advance and pay it to By the Sea on your behalf. We don’t get to make the rules, we just play by them!

Many of our owners have switched out to “Smart” TV’s – so bring your login information with you to sign in to your own subscription services, and don’t forget to log-out before leaving.

We strive for 5 star reviews at all times - and the first part of that is notifying everyone of every cost they may incur so that there are no surprises. If during your stay with us you find any reason that you are not able to rate our service and the property a 5 star review based upon the description of the property, that the pictures accurately depict the property, or our courteous service - please let us know and give us the opportunity to turn that frown upside down and EARN your 5 star review.

All properties managed by My Galveston Getaway are 100% non-smoking/non-vaping properties.

After making your reservation you will receive a link to complete our renters agreement. The only information we request differently than the booking platforms (VRBO/AirBnB) is your personal email address, the names and ages of each person who will be in the property during your stay, and your driver’s license information as well as an emergency contact should we need to reach someone on your behalf. Thank you for completing this in a timely manner so that we may send you the check-in instructions for the property you have reserved.

Galveston is a barrier island located in the Gulf of Mexico. The island is susceptible to rainstorms, thunderstorms and even a hurricane now and then. Sometimes these result in temporary power and WiFi outages. We strongly encourage our renters to consider purchasing trip interruption/cancellation protection either through the platform that you book through or some other source. My Galveston Getaway issues refunds if a governmental official issues a mandatory evacuation of the island. Unfortunately we are unable to control sunshine, temperatures and mosquitos and do not refund other than pursuant to our policy based on evacuation orders. Thank you for understanding.

Again – the parking/resort/amenities/facilities fee is one charged by the condominium complex, not by the owner of the condo or My Galveston Getaway and we appreciate your understanding.

We look forward to having you as our guest – and to reading your 5 star review!

Being 100% transparent - this is not the luxurious taj majal of rentals - it is clean, comfortable and definitely has everything mentioned as being there, and we have priced it accordingly!
