We only stayed two nights, but it was clean, nice and comfy. We had a wonderful time just walking the beach from our condo and having drinks on the pier. We got in late and did not anticipate having a car, but we ended up renting one and they were fantastic about getting it added on.
Great location and easy access to local amenities. Well equipped unit along the beach with everything needed for a fun weekend getaway! Great communication with the property manager and on-site staff. Lots of parking and a pool right outside the unit. Great value and would absolutely stay again. Thanks-
The property was amazing! It was clean, easily accessible, and well stocked. The host responded quickly but did not intrude. The location is perfect and Galveston Island is so much fun.
We absolutely love staying at this condo! The location is perfect and out of the hustle and bustle of the busy part of the Seawall! The owners are attentive and very helpful!
The pool is right out the back door!
The kitchen and dining area are great and we love sitting at the big family table together!
We have stayed here at least 6 times!!
Had an amazing stay on our weekend get away. Place was stocked with essentials that we needed, location was great -walmart just around the corner, easy walk across to the beach. We Enjoyed every minute, definitely a must stay, would definitely recommend to friends and family!
This property was exactly as described it was clean had plenty of room we were suppose to have 5 people and ended up with only 2 but would have had plenty of room which was great. Pool was right out patio door. A/C worked great which was good because it was extemely hot Property manager was quick with answering our questions by email. Will book this property again.
This property was very clean and perfect location! With a gate to the pool made the perfect easy access! We will most definitely be booking again in the near future! 10 out of 10 would recommend!
Great location easy access to pools and beach. Condo has lots of stocked items available to use.
We was here during the hurricane so the first few days before was great then hurricane hit and was not so great. I will say the management stayed in contact with us daily to check in and was very helpful.
We were a party of 6 . The condo was just the right size for us . The condo is located close to food, groceries and attractions. The condo was great being on the ground floor and right out the back patio is the pool area which was wonderful for my grandkids. We would definitely book here again.
We just finished our first day in Galveston and had a wonderful time. The condo is in an ideal location. You can just walk out the back gate and ride into the pool area and then across the street to the beach. The pool was really nice, very warm, and well-maintained. The conduit itself was well stocked and came with everything that we needed, including Extra toilet paper, paper towels, and dish soap and laundry soap. The beds were very comfortable. All of us slept really well. The air conditioner was wonderful. Which is super important since it was flipping hot out there. The only complaint would be something that the owners could not have anything to do with and that is mosquitoes. They seem to linger around the pool area and our patio area. The sliding glass door was open even for a few minutes. They got inside and we did get bit. But there’s not much anyone can do about that. Mosquitoes are mosquitoes. Otherwise it was great and we took advantage of all the lovely restaurants and fun things to do in Galveston. We would definitely go back.
We absolutely love the Dawn! It’s our second year in a row coming for our vacation. We fell in love with the condo, although there were some things that can use some improvement so that is why this is a 4 star review. The inside of the condo was beautiful , spacious, and clean, but there are some spots that could use some additional cleaning. I dropped my glasses behind the end table in the bedroom with the bathroom in it and the floor area was extremely dirty/dusty with cobwebs as is the patio furniture outside. They really could use cleaning or new cushions because they were FULL of dust, pollen, sand, dirt, etc.. from being outside so they would get a little itchy to sit on. The tvs are very small and not smart tvs(surprising see how cheap they are nowadays),which was a bit of a bummer because we couldn’t steam our apps, and there are tiny little black bugs in the kitchen, especially near the coffee maker outlet. We bought some spray for the bugs and called it a day. The layout is great giving everyone enough space so we aren’t sitting basically right on top of each other. The owners made sure it has everything from toilet paper, towels, shampoos, even beach chairs, toys, and boogie boards. The location of it is absolutely amazing, right in front of the pool and the office. There is a small gate by the office you can go through to get to the Seawall so you can cross the street to get to the beach. We will definitely consider this spot again next year, you won’t regret it!
The property is very nice with a quick walk to the beach to enjoy the gulf. The heated pool was still pretty cool but still enjoyable. The hot tub is over by another building but is not an inconvenient walk away. The location of this property is the best part! Its proximity to grab and go restaurants but distance from all the hustle and bustle is great. Parking is no longer $35 - expect to pay $40-50 depending on length of stay. Towels and all soaps you’ll need are provided which is super helpful.
The biggest downfall was cleanliness. Some surfaces were slightly dusty some baseboards are noticeably missing and a little more attention to this would’ve given this place a 100% in my eyes but an 85% isn’t bad at all for a home away from home for a week.
Property was as described. Would be a good place to stay, nice central location to access beaches and shopping. Our only complaint was the furniture was extremely dirty and the apartment wasn’t clean when we showed up. If they fixed that it would be a great place.

Nice place.
Well they forget to mention that the parking isn’t free.
And well I don’t mind picking up after we leave, but the host left instructions to start the dishwasher and wash the towels in the washing machine and throw the trash out at the dumpsters. Isn’t that what the cleaning fee is for? Maybe it’s just me.
It was a very nice place, very spacious and comfortable. Fully equipped with everything you need. The pool located just next to the back porch, the beach in less than 5 minutes walk. We arrived after hours and didn't get the parking sticker until morning and saw some other car been towed away. You can pay for the parking through qr code they posted all over the place, and than get the actual sticker.
This spot is excellent for access to the beach, which is directly across the street from the Condo . Back porch opens right to the pool! Very spacious with everything you need. Decorated for a beautiful beach getaway!
Beds were very comfortable, and it was all perfect!
We will definitely book this SAME Location in the near future!
Thank you for the wonderful weekend!
We LOVED this place! The condo was perfect! It was clean and had every comfort of home. Steps away from the pool was great! We will be back soon….thank you for sharing your home with us.
This is an excellent place. The gate on patio allowed easy access to pool. The kids really enjoyed the pool. This was our second time staying in this unit and reallly enjoyed our stay. This is the fith time we stayed here and this unit is the best
Bigger than expected, clean, great location with gate directly to the pool.
