Beautiful views
This oceanfront condo is on the third floor of a lovely well maintained, gated property. Two pools and hot tubs made beach playing and relaxing effortless. The condo included a king, 2 Twin beds, and a pullout couch. Images online are current to the home. We had a wonderful time- thank you!

We took a brothers trip to Galveston seawall. The Dawn condominium was an excellent stay for us.
The condo had the amazing view of the gulf. We would stare at the beach and enjoy having coffee in the morning. The condo had everything we had expected. It’s a great location for our stay. I really want to come back next year again. We loved this place.

Okay
Place was ok. Seemed a bit pricey for what it was. Carpet was stained and dirty, bathrooms needed some upgrades and paying for parking seemed a bit expensive. Rental company said parking was $30 per car but when we went to the property office is was $35 plus tax per car. And the people working at the property office seemed very unprofessional and uninterested in helping. Other than that, location was good, kitchen was clean, pools were good and it had a nice view.

Great beach access
We took our elementary aged kids here for Christmas break and it was great. The hot tub on site was large and people practiced social distancing. Walmart was super convenient to grab groceries at. The beach had beautiful sand and shoreline and we had a view from the balcony of the sunrise every morning. After hours check in was easy and they had everything waiting for us in a lockbox. It was hard to cook meals because as stated, they don't have anything stocked in their kitchen in terms of food, not even salt. So we ended up trying some local restaurants and eating out most dinners. Overall happy with the place and would stay again.

Awesome choice in Galveston
We absolutely loved Absolute Paradise. We've rented dozens of condos in Galveston and this was far and away the best ever. The location is excellent; easy walk to the beach, easy drive to attractions & restaurants. Walmart right across the street and a convenience store on the corner. The gym is excellent and the pools were top notch. We can't wait to come back!

This place was awesome!!
The process was simple, and the price was relatively reasonable, but I wish I was given a choice on wanting to climb stairs or ground floor space. Other than that my friends and I had a wonderful weekend

The parking situation was not good if trying to park in the evening times. I ended up having to park outside the property gates but the property requires you to pay $25 to be able to park on their property which found hard to do unless you wanted to walk pretty far.

Nice location
This rental is in a great location. It has a great floor plan and amenities. Lots of room. Balcony with ocean view, right across from the beach. Great pools. Friendly condo staff and rental management staff. With just a few minor improvements, it would really be top notch. Strong smell of mildew. A/C struggles to keep the entire unit cooled (we do like it cooler than most people), slow drain in the master bath, the water flows out of the master shower, slow flushing toilet in main bathroom; lights in the kitchen feel like you are under a warming lamp. Despite the few little issues, this is a great unit and the issues did not detract from the overall pleasure of our stay. It was also a little tedious to have to check in both at the Rental Agency and then again at the actual property - then head back to the Rental Agency at checkout. A streamlined check-in and out would make things easier. Overall, this is a great rental and we would likely rent again, even despite the trek by stairs to the third floor. It was very quiet and the property as a whole is well maintained

Nice location! Condo needs a little TLC!
Nice layout and location on the Seawall! But house could use some required maintenance. Locks on condo door are so hard to open the door. You have to constantly jiggle the key for 30 seconds before lock can be turned! Bathroom door and master bedroom door do not lock! Porch has pigeons and nest and pigeons poop all over! That is a major problem!! No sceens on doors! Master bedroom window will not close completely! So it is loud along the Seawall as cars pass all night long! Dishes and glasses are all chipped! Cooking utensils are terrible and should be updated! Needs carpets cleaned and a good cleaning. Also pool is not heated! Supper cold!

Don't believe what you see
Beware the pictures look nice but this place condo is a mess! We arrived late, which with this part of the condo you have have to work with a off-site property manager (Ryson Real Estate). Stopped at the dropped box for our keys and instructions, the lock box is pain to get open! Got to the condo, and drove back in fourth in the parking lot looking the condo numbers ( the numbers on the keys don't match the building numbers ). Finally got to the condo, which was a ok but when you started to really look we found issues: stains on the carpet, master bedroom TV did not work, pull out couch was broke, sliding door handle missing, master bedroom toilet clogged ( no plunger ), kitchen was dirty, 2nd bathroom door didn't close tight. We called Ryson right away, leaving a voicemail because I did not want to be blamed for this. Clearly the cleaning staff and management team did not review this place after the last guest ( this is noted on the cleaning staffs card ). I called the next day several times finally getting someone to tell me my call was giving to the maintenance manager, called him several times finally got a hold of him and he sent over his employee to look at the pull out couch, sliding door and master bedroom issues. Replaced the handle, tried to fix the pull couch ( no luck ). They had to make a call to the owner about the couch and TV for replacement. Overall they moved us to a different condo, but in the end I felt if I wasn't constantly calling they would of pushed it off until we left. So if still plan to stay here, ask if the all the mentioned issues were fixed. Also need to mention the RULES this place has, the AC can't go below 76 ( we had the sliding door open all the time for the breeze ), no garbage left behind or you'll be fined, no food left in condo or you'll be fined ( I guess crackers are not food ), don't take our stained towels to the beach or you'll be fined, no sand in the condo or you'll be fined ( really the place is across from a beach ), don't be late checking out of the condo or you'll be fined $500! Yikes. That's only the ones that stuck at, there are more for your reading enjoyment if you rent this place. I would think a few of the things listed should fall under the cleaning crew responsibility but clearly they don't clean Wish I would of listened to the last reviewer! Hope the owner reads the reviews, but I'm guessing not

Excellent Condo in best location in Galveston
The condo, the Dawn Complex and it's location are all very good. Not too busy yet close to all you'd need. Couldn't get closer to the beach and the pools and standard of the resort are very good. There were however issues with the state of repair (damaged furniture, broken blinds, heavily stained carpets) that I believe are down to the procedures of the management company and I'm assured will be addressed.
