Welcome to Coastal Waves - recently remodeled for guest comfort and enjoyment and every detail has been considered from the comfortable sleeping to the new furnishings to the decor, to the kitchen being fully stocked with anything you could need to prepare full meals during your stay or warming up leftovers from the many amazing restaurants that Galveston has to offer. Privately owned, professionally managed and service is number one to the managers and the owners!

The private bedroom in the quiet side of the condo offers relaxation in the spacious room, the comfortable queen bed, the closet and drawer space is plentiful, the television is large, cable and "smart" - sometimes smarter than we are ;). The kitchen has everything you could possibly need from a coffee cup to a crock pot - whether staying a few nights or a couple of months - you'll have everything needed to feel right at home. We provide starter supplies of toiletries, paper products and coffee in order to get you started on getting to know the lay of the land and make your shopping lists while not having to worry about that long drive in and needing a clean restroom. We can't wait to have you stay at Coastal Waves, hear and see them from the balcony off the living room, and watch them literally from the kitchen. You'll be back - we promise - it's brand new and just waiting for you!

We provide self check in instructions and then we allow our guests to enjoy their stay uninterrupted. However - should you need anything we are but a phone call away. This information is emailed 24-72 hours ahead of your scheduled arrival time.

The complex and this condo are dog friendly. The complex will ask for your dog’s shot records, and there are restrictions on dogs and breeds based on the owner’s insurance coverage – we are not able to accept pit bulls, rottweilers, chows, Dobermans or German Shephards based on the insurance coverage. There is a maximum of 2 dogs, a $75 per dog non refundable fee, and we ask that the dogs not be permitted on the furniture. Please clean up after your 4-legged family members (and the 2-legged variety as well) and follow all leash laws. In addition to the fees charged by My Galveston Getaway – the By The Sea complex charges a per dog fee as well.

Like every condo complex in Galveston, the By The Sea complex does charge a resort/parking/amenity fee – this is something that is paid directly to them when you arrive – we cannot collect or pay this on your behalf.

What's included: Bed linens for all beds, bath, hand and wash cloth for each guest that the unit welcomes. We do not provide beach/pool towels and we do ask that ours 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 not intended to last your entire group through your entire stay - but to get in, get situated and figure out where you will shop for what on the island.

There are pay per use laundry facilities at the complex – but not a washer/dryer in the condo itself.

We strive for 100% guest satisfaction – or as we call them – 5 Starfish Reviews. This is why we try to be as honest as possible in our listings. So if you find anything upon your arrival that was not as we described it – please give us a call and give us a chance to make it right! We want you to be happy. We realize that everyone can make a mistake or have a bad day – it’s how you recover that shows your true character – so we would appreciate your giving us the opportunity to turn that frown upside down and make this the best trip you’ve had (so far – until you book your next one). VRBO also gives us the chance to review you as guests and we want to give you a 5 star review as well.
