We stayed at By The Sea when we were in Port Douglas recently. The name perfectly matches the location, just steps from Four Mile Beach. They have everything that you need to make a beach day--chairs, umbrellas, coolers, etc. The staff was super friendly and helpful. The room itself was nice with a kitchenette and a patio. The bed was comfortable and it was extremely quiet. We got great nights of sleep. Would definitely stay again.

This place is amazing, great sized rooms, comfortable beds and even a choice between firm or soft pillows. But it's the ladies that run the place that make it amazing. They are super friendly and go out of their way to make your stay as enjoyable as possible. We asked for an early check-in as we were going to a wedding at 3. Not only did we get that early check-in but they put a bottle of champagne in the fridge for a pre celebration. There are free eskies, beach towels, beach chairs, ice machine, books,DVDs etc. Love this place.

Wonderful stay at By The Sea Port Douglas! It is not a luxury resort, and it does not pretend to be, but it is exactly the kind of place that makes travel easy, comfortable and pleasant. The location is great, the rooms are simple but very well thought out, and the team is genuinely welcoming, helpful and professional. I especially appreciated how clear and smooth everything was before my arrival, including the late check in process with a personal envelope waiting for me. A small detail, but it says a lot about the way the place is run. You really feel that if you need anything, the team will be there to help. Excellent value, great atmosphere and a perfect base for staying in Port Douglas. Highly recommended. 🤩🤩🤩

Excellent place for stay! Super friendly and generous staff especially Elaine at the front. The moment we checked in she was so helpful and very respectful in communication. This is like home feeling and advertisement doesn’t elaborate everything.. it’s beyond that comfort. Only thing was noise due to building at back property and clearly communicated.. it didn’t affect us as at all as Saturday we were mostly out exploring and late afternoon onwards till Monday.. full comfort. Peeps on going project will be finished soon.. highly recommend as close to beaches… and proime location. We had awesome view on our window. Thanks Team, see you again next with my family. Thank you for your service.

I cannot fault anything about "By the Sea". Location is amazing and the staff go out of their way to make your stay memorable. Make the most of their local knowledge for recommendations on activities to do. The accommodation offers many free items to hire and use during your stay. Pool was fantastic. It isn't one of the major resorts, but it is highly personable and family friendly. Would recommend.

The staff are very welcoming and helpful- always with a smile! The location is outstanding. It’s the quiet end of the busy macrossan Street. You can borrow the bikes and all sorts of other beach stuff for your stay. Our room is a little small, but that’s okay.

This is a bit difficult to write as I am truly missing this WONDERFUL motel & the lovely people who run it... the BEST motel in ALL of Queensland as far as we are concerned! We were given a warm welcome at the front desk, given our keys, told that we could park our vehicle below the motel (very good) & also informed that we could borrow anything that was in the lobby... now when I say anything I mean literally anything one could ever need while enjoying your vacation, in a beautiful beach town, in Australia - umbrellas (for the rain & beach), beach chairs, coolers, lap top computers, books, toys for the beach, wagons you name it they had it & ALL was available to those of us lucky people staying here! Our room was on the 2nd floor & it consisted of a king bed which was very comfortable, TV, full sized refrigerator, coffee pot with lots of choices of coffee, a Nespresso Coffee maker with many choices of coffee as well, all kitchen items you could ever need, a wonderful balcony with table & chairs, along with bathroom condiments - it was PERFECT & oh so comfortable. I am so happy that I added an extra night as our original 3 would not have sufficed - we did NOT want to leave!! This motel is at the end of the street in Port Douglas & mere steps from glorious Four Mile Beach. It was the best stay we have had in our month long vacation & our only complaint is we wish we had of had more time.

We've recently got back from a 5 day stay. We stayed in the superior sea view room no 16. So had a lovely view of the beach .It's been some years since staying here and it's had a change of ownership. The girls r still there and extremely friendly always up for a chat when we passed through reception. They have lots of free items for U to use. From trolley for beach items and shopping trolley for Ur run to Coles for supplies. Beach chair's. Bikes. Towels .rain umbrella.two vending machine in reception for snacks. Lots of your brouchers and the girls r great for suggestions of things to do. Nothing is too much trouble for them. The room was clean and as we remembered from our previous stays. U have a top cool. And U can use the microwave as an oven as well. Kettle. Coffee capsule machine and pods. Tea .coffee . sugar to hand. Basic utensils. Maybe a few more items we wanted a dishing up spoon there wasn't one but the cereal spoon did the job. We had a Minor issue with our hinge pin on the bathroom door as soon as mentioned it was fixed . Just be mindful it's stairs only to the rooms great exercise.. unfortunately the weather was very overcast during our stay but high humidity so the fan and aircon were great to have. Extra blankets and pillow types for presence.u can ask for extra items if U run out for the room . The room was nice and clean.definetely the place to stay in p.d steps from the beach and a stroll to the shops. The most amazing girls. Free Wi fi and good t.v channels especially when Ur weather bound to Ur room as found on Wednesday with bad rain
