We loved By The Sea! For starters, the staff team are so friendly and helpful, they go over and beyond to ensure you have everything you need. They are so knowledgeable, Myra got us on a last minute Reef Boat after looking at the weather and warning it may be our only opportunity, it was and we are so grateful! Rooms are clean and have everything you need! It's close to everything, very walkable! Highly recommend them!
