2BR Gulf-front 3rd-floor/Babe’s Beach access/oversized balcony/refreshing pool

Experience the Gulf’s charm at Galveston Useazatt View, a Gulf-front condo on the 3rd floor at By The Sea Condominiums on Seawall Blvd.

Wake up to a vibrant sunrise or take a peaceful walk along the shoreline, inhaling the refreshing salt air. Babe’s Beach is just steps away, and the condo’s central location puts you close to Galveston’s top dining, shopping, and attractions. After a day at the beach or exploring the island, unwind with a refreshing dip in the pool or kick back on the balcony.

Additionally, to enhance your beach experience and set us apart from our competitors, we offer a complimentary beach setup pass that includes an umbrella and two beach chairs.

We've partnered with Bennett’s Beach Service for the 2026 season. The season starts Monday, April 6th. We send the beach setup pass along with the email that contains the directions and code.

We also provide a lightweight beach cart, a 22-can-wheeled cooler, and two fold-up beach chairs for a hassle-free day at the beach.

The unobstructed 3rd-floor Gulf view will take your breath away. Relax on the breezy 24-foot balcony and let your worries slip away as you sip a cup of coffee while watching a spectacular sunrise. Your memories of the Gulf will linger long after your footprints in the sand are gone.

After a day at the beach, gather your group and stroll on Seawall Boulevard. Perhaps you’ll see playful dolphins frolicking in the surf or screeching seagulls as they soar over the Gulf.

The condo is spacious, at 1,000 sq. ft. The living, dining, and kitchen areas have a Gulf front view. Two 11-foot sliders lead to a 24-foot Gulf front balcony. The south bedroom overlooks the Gulf.

The kitchen is fully furnished. We also provide a starter kit of paper plates, cups, towels, and toilet paper. Linens/towels are provided for up to 4 guests. There are 2 queen-size beds and a queen-size automatic air mattress.

The delightful condo decor has a fun, funky, flip-flop theme. Compared to other units at By The Sea Condominiums, this unit has many updates and upgrades.

The condo complex is perfect for families or couples with shared amenities. The amazing pool area has plenty of seating and propane grills under a pergola that shades you from the hot summer sun. The front desk is manned 24/7 by a friendly staff. There is plenty of parking on the north and south sides of the building. A $35 parking pass is required.

We aim to provide our guests with an excellent vacation experience at Galveston Useazatt View Condo. We strive to offer a comfortable, coastal-themed, casual, and competitively priced condo. We hope we can meet your expectations.

Great Condo at By the Sea

Owners have done a great job of remodeling, the double paned sliding doors to balcony really kept out the traffic noise from Seawall. 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.

Perfect for the family

We had a fantastic time in this fun and funky joint. Don't leave your flip flops behind, they'll probably end up as decor! It's perfectly located with an unobstructed view of the gulf and minutes from the top attractions like Moody Gardens and Shlitterbahn. The amenities were great and the space was very comfortable. Well done.

Anniversary Stay

My husband and I booked this place for our Anniversary. 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!

Weekend staycation in Galveston

Husband, son and I stayed here for 2 nights for a mini stay-cation before ramping up for the school year. 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!!

Beyond our expectations

Wonderful condo, exceeded our expectations! The condo is very clean, well stocked and with items that you wouldn't expect but so happy that you have them. Loved the balcony that is accessable from both the living area as well as the main bedroom. 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

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!

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.

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.

Perfectly located, felt like home, exactly what we needed

We absolutely loved our stay in the condo! 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.

All went well, until Sunday am. 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.

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.
