We stayed several times at BTS and by far #1004 was the greatest. I rent directly from the owner - top of the line beds, view, everything you would ever want in kitchen and unit. Call early the words out her unit gets booked quickly. Ignore the staff they dont like renters and are very unfriendly unless you own, live... More

Best vacation ever. We stayed in unit 309 of By the Sea Condominiums. The complex was nice and the condo was GREAT!!!!! Everything exceeded our expectations. The pics of the unit on their website were great but in person it was even better than imagined. My husband and I loved the private balcony overlooking the ocean. We will be back... More

We have stayed in 3 different units at By the Sea over the past two years. The units are clean, comfortable, and a great value for the money. Sure if you want to stay on the beach, plan on paying double at least. One more thing. They have 24 hour security and we feel very safe there. I am unsure... More

We stayed in Unit 507 of By The Sea and Unit 309 last week for a family reunion. We had an absolute blast!!! Both of the units were exactly what we wanted. Unit 309 had granite countertops and beautiful floors - all topped off with a beautiful view of the ocean. Unit 507 had a large balcony that we loved... More

After our daughter's wedding, we needed a relaxing vacation. We stayed at By the Sea in unit #507. The view was great and the condo was delightful. We went to sleep early so tired but we awoke early the next morning to the most breathtaking sunrise. We sat on the spacious deck, closed the sliding glass door and enjoyed coffee... More

When we arrived at the condo, the sliding glass doors were frozen and could not open to the balcony. Because that beach front view was why I rented the condo, it was a crushing disappointment. My husband and son attempted to lift the door and open it just enough to squeeze out and the glass gave away from the frame... More

I decided to rent my current unit from owner for an entire year. I loved the decor, view and had everything I needed for the next year, I jumped at the opportunity. The owner's are wonderful people, friendly and helpful. However, since day one, nobody minds there own business. Older residents give funny looks and never say hello or good... More

I stayed at By the Sea from September 2010 to December 2010, the place was ok, the location was great the owner has been awful to deal with. They promised internet never happened. After moving out of unit #1004, I have been waiting 2 ½ months for my refundable deposit. Janice has given every excuse. Because of the poor service... More
