Great time

Cannot say enough about how wonderful this condo was!! It was so clean when we arrived and they provided so many basic items to use! We were able to set the temperature to what we wanted which was great! Many condos lock it to a set temperature. Both showers were wonderful and huge!! The condo had a great view of the pool and the ocean! It is on the second floor, the description was confusing on this. We will always stay at The Dawn. The grounds are so well kept and the pools are awesome. The parking for this condo was easy as well!! No complaints at all!!

Couldn’t have asked for a better location! Beach on one side and Walmart on the other. Great restaurants decently close. Wish the pools were heated, they were colder than the ocean! Would stay here again!

If your looking for a great location, well decorated condo on the seawall, then The Dawn is the place to stay. The owner keeps the condo in tiptop shape and was great at communication. i would recommend this condo to any family.

Perfectly Peaceful

This was by far the best place that I have ever stayed! I’m so glad we decided to go with a condo instead of a hotel. The rooms were so quiet and peaceful. The whole condo is gorgeously decorated and includes all the amenities you need. I would highly recommend this gem to anyone!

Nice condo but has some opportunities

When we stayed, the property manager was extremely unresponsive. We tried to submit requests for a couple of work orders, including the master bathroom toilet not working and the back door not locking. It took over 12 hours for a generic response to come back and that was only after I followed up. Disappointed in Vacasa. additionally there were some cleanliness opportunities. The kitchen was extremely disorganized and cabinets were dirty. The home was decorated nicely and definitely has potential but seems like it isn’t being cared for. Additionally, one of the pools was extremely cloudy and dirty and had algae growing on the side. The other pool seemed to be better kept.

Great place in Galveston

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This condo is a great place to stay in Galveston Pros: Very Clean Excellent location <5 minute walk to the beach Nice pools All necessary kitchen equipment Great shower in master! TV with Netflix and all basic cable channels Very nice deck with partial view of ocean Walmart right across the street Cons: There wasn’t any hand soap provided. During a pandemic this is unacceptable. (I left a bottle for the next guests) The AC drips into the guest bath which is annoying You have to pay $30 for parking Pro tip: make sure to pack your own body wash, detergent, coffee, and hand soap We will stay here again if we come back this way. Overall it was a very nice condo and you can’t beat the location. My kids loved it!

Unit access technology was really bad for us.

I'll start with the good/great! -Unit is bigger than we expected from pics - access to the beach is shorter and easier than expected -the view to the ocean was better than the "peakaboo" view the owners told us. We saw a lot of ocean/gulf. Pool view is awesome! -Turnkey management company was good in that they responded to all of my 10 calls within seconds of my call. - Here is my 2 star, negative rating: *The door access lock system was a complete failure *I'm a technology guy and got locked in/out 10 times *when I say, "locked in" what I mean is that I could not lock the unit when we were leaving. *when I say "locked out" what I mean is that I had to call for a new code to access the unit. -The first time we could not lock the unit, I stayed at the place while my wife and 3 kids went to the beach. Carlos, who was great, said he would be there in 15 mins. 45 mins lateer he showed up. Then he had to change the door lock, which he said would take 10 mins...45 mins later, he left with my blessing, while I was still on the phone with TurnKey, and while my wife was texting me asking "how much longer" while she was a the beach with our 7, 5, and 3 year olds. When we got back, we were able to get in but were not able to leave and lock again...that time, I called TurnKey, texted and called Carlos and got in touch with Turnkey but heard nothing from Carlos...3 hours later I took my 7 and 5 year old to the pool while my wife and 3 year old napped. At about 5pm I got a call from another TurnKey person that said he was able to access the unit and I didn't need to come back but he was in the unit and couldn't find a problem with the lock. MY WIFE AND SON WERE ASLEEP IN THERE...he didn't call me or text me to let me know he was there! I was downstairs at the pool! I offered to come up and he said not to, which made me uncomfortable...so I took my 7 and 5 year old girls and went to the unit...he was outside on the phone and seemed happy to see me. He showed me that the lock was working, I agreed, he left. That night we came back and, surprise, we couldn't get in. I'll spare the remaining details, suffice it to say that while we live in a fully automated connected home, we will not stay in a rental unit that has a smart lock until the company that manges that gets their act together. My advice to the owners, We loved your condo, loved everything about our trip, we just had such a bad experience not being able to get in or lock on the way out
