Myself and 2 adult daughters were immediately upgraded at no extra cost to a lovely balcony room overlooking a warm and tropically landscaped pool. The property is impeccably maintained and is being renovated by the new owners. We were not disturbed during the ongoing improvements. The front desk ladies are very helpful and answered all requests immediately. Some people complained... more

My wife and I had never been to Oz let alone heard of Port Douglas, but we sure lucked out when I stumbled across a website for "By The Sea Port Douglas". Cathy, Wendy & staff took us under their wing and we had a great time there. 4 mile beach is across the street and downtown is one block... more

My wife and I took our honeymoon in Port Douglas and chose By The Sea. We were not disappointed. We took the split level 1 bedroom apartment with the 2 balconies. Amazing. You could hardly get any closer to the beautiful 4-mile beach. Cathy and Wendy could not have been more helpful. If you are interested in getting out and... more

We have just returned from the most wonderful 3 days up in Port Douglas and stayed at an exceptional place which people should know about. The name is BY THE SEA and thats exactly what it was. Out the front door and just down to the beach and a few minutes the other way is the town The location was... more

We have recently come back from a fabulous holiday staying at this resort, the location is perfect. The rooms were very clean and well equiped with crisp bedding and fluffy towels, we had a wonderful nights sleep and to our delight woke up to beautiful ocean breezes. The happy housekeeping staff kept us supplied with fresh towels when we needed... more

Although this accomodation is in a good location, a stone's throw away from the beach, the rooms are dated, small and over priced. The pool is freezing and in dire need of updating. Our rooms were never cleaned for the entire week we stayed there, the sheets were not changed and we had to request new towels by leaving the... more

We stayed in a room with a sea view from the balcony and side window, facing Macrossan street. It is the best location, closest to the beautiful beach, and just a couple minutes walk down Macrossan St to the restaurants, pubs, and shops. The room was spacious, very clean, with a newly upgraded king sized bed. The new owner Wendy... more

Very pleasently suprised with these very well kept apartments in probably the best location you can get in Port Douglas. We had a side sea view room which over looked the road with the beach on the left of the balcony. We heard no noise whatsoever from the road and the beach was literally a 30 second walk away. The... more

We stayed here for several nights in August. If you are staying in Port Douglas, this area of Macrossan St is the area to stay at - literally a few steps to the beach, and just a short walk to town. At By the Sea, the room was comfortable, clean and spacious. Definitely a good value for the money. The... more
