We had a washer/dryer combo in our upstairs bathroom that needed to be moved downstairs, and all the other companies that I called had a 3 hour minimum. I called Movers by the Sea, and Johnny was easy to talk to, got us a quote immediately, and came out the same day. The best part was that they DID NOT have a 2 or 3 hour minimum, got the job done is less than 30 minutes, and charged a fair price. Will definitely recommend Johnny and his crew to anyone looking for movers!

Mikey, Celso, Kimber, and Anthony from Movers By the Sea are such an incredible team!! This was by far the smoothest and easiest move we’ve ever had—and we’ve moved about 4 times in the past few years.They were so efficient, kind, and worked seamlessly together. Everything—from our furniture to smaller items—was moved with so much care and attention. You could really tell they take pride in their work and in making the process as stress-free as possible.We felt so supported the entire day. Truly the best movers we’ve ever had in San Diego and North County. Highly, highly recommend them!

We hired movers by the sea and worked with Mikey, Arthur, Misha, Larry, Bear, Charlie, Clayton, Danny and Celso. We had originally allocated two days for the move as we needed help packing, moving and unpacking our entire 3 bedroom home. They were able to get the whole thing done in 5 hours! Everyone was incredibly efficient and friendly. Our two dogs also enjoyed all the extra love and attention they received. Being 6 months pregnant, it was beyond helpful to be able to depend on professionals.

Movers by the Sea were amazing! From initial quote and explanation of services by Elena, to great communication and timely arrival on moving day, everything was handled above expectations. Anthony led my crew of three that included Tristan and Arthur. I received a call prior to arrival verifying details and asking if any special packing materials were needed. Upon arrival they were organized and efficient. Anthony and his team were extremely professional as well as friendly and respectful toward me, the space and my pets. Movers by the Sea made a stressful day nearly carefree! Their pricing is fair and competitive and I highly recommend their services.
