Gulf & Pool view, Washer & Dryer, Families Love it
Turn on your radio and “The Beach Boys” are softly crooning …”good, good, good, good vibrations!” You find yourself transported… the sun is shining, the sand is warm, the breeze smells of salt, and the waves are softly lapping on the shore. Just like hearing this song gives you beachy excitations, this seaside condo sends out GOOD VIBRATIONS too! When you arrive at the Dawn Condominiums...just voted # condominium in Galveston...you get the feeling of being in a Bahamian village full of brightly colored seaside huts among swaying palms and red tile walkways. Arriving at your third floor condo you can’t help but notice the beautifully manicured grounds, two pools open year-round (one is heated) plus a large hot tub, and several places to grill with ample outdoor seating and tables. Entering the condo, you are bathed in natural light from several large picture windows. The view is ether of the luscious grounds or a gulf view (and for those who prefer to NOT be greeted by the morning sun blackout curtains are provided) Through one of the windows you happily notice that there is a comfy outdoor seating area on a large balcony with pool And gulf views. The balcony is the perfect spot for enjoying sunrise coffee or sunset cocktails.
When walking back inside from exploring the balcony views you cannot help but notice the inviting oversize sectional couch that is sure to fit all that want to watch their favorite movie, series or sporting event on the 60-inch television/Blu-ray DVD player. Some may just enjoy sitting on the luscious teal leather and enjoying the ambiance of the electric fireplace after a long fun-filled day at Babe’s Beach. (beach is in walking distance) The next room you enter is the primary suite which has the same abundant natural lighting and views. A comfortable king bed with luxury linens and extra soft pillows is in the center of the room facing the 55- inch television. There is plenty of storage for your vacay wardrobe with 2 chest of drawers and a large closet. The ensuite bathroom has a large, tiled shower with upscale glass shower door, granite top counter and sink. Large fluffy absorbent towels provided in both bathrooms. The second bedroom fits 2 adults and 2 children comfortably. This room has a queen bed and a twin bunk above and a pull-out twin trundle below. Luxury linens and pillows provided for all. A TV and lots of storage is part of this room also. The second full bathroom is across the hall. It has a combo tub /shower and granite counter tops around the sink. The kitchen is equipped with full size appliances (electric cooktop and oven, refrigerator/freezer, dishwasher, microwave, coffee maker and Keurig and garbage disposal) fully stocked cabinets with wares to please the pickiest chef (pots, pans, bowls, measuring cups and spoons, strainers, and utensils, etc.) To help with dining at the condo dishes, glasses and silverware are provided. The dining area has a large table with seating for six, so breakfast, lunch and dinner being served will be a breeze for those who prefer to cook. And for those who prefer to enjoy local cuisine Galveston Island presents a myriad of choices. The seawall has a gorgeous view and a long list of eating establishments from gourmet burgers to fine dining and world-renowned family restaurants. (To name a few of our favorites… The Spot, Mario’s Seawall Italian and Pizzeria, Gaido’s, and The Steakhouse in The San Luis) The rest of the island has even more to offer if dining out is your thing. (Rudy and Paco’s, Willy G.’s, Katie’s Seafood House, and many more! This condo offers all the comforts of home as mentioned above and it also has a full-size washer and dryer right off the kitchen. An ironing board and iron are also provided. To add to the list of “good vibes” from this home away from home is the fact that the convention center is only 10 blocks from here and Walmart, lots of the restaurants on Seawall Blvd, and the beach are all easily walkable! For all other fun venues and events the Trolley stops directly in front of the complex. The cost for a ride on the Trolley is only a $1 and kids ride free. The Dawn is a gated community with only one entrance. All guests must obtain parking passes and swim bands upon arrival. No trailers allowed. Rent this condo and get your good vibes flowing!

Donna was very helpful with any and all questions leading up to our stay. The Dawn Condominiums are very nice (seemed like the nicest in the area we were staying) - loved the pools and the grounds. The condo itself was just right for our family of 4 - had everything we needed. Loved the deck with views of the gulf and pool area. Overall a great stay at the beach!

Had a wonderful weekend stay with my husband and three kids. We loved the spacious bedrooms and living space. The location is great being just across the street from beach. It was easy to walk over and enjoy our day, and the beach was pretty open, not to crowded. We used the pool which was refreshing after a long day at the beach. Having two bathrooms is awesome to get five people showered for dinner. The food recommendations were great-we especially loved Jimmys on the Pier. Try to go at sunset, gorgeous! The wi-fi access was a bit spotty which was tough for my remote working husband.

Clean, Fresh and Cool
Communicated via text with Donna. Requested and granted an hour early check-in, as we arrived early. Gate and entry door codes worked flawlessly. Parking was plentiful, but no reserved areas. Parking passes were obtained from onsite office for a reasonable fee. Unit found exceptionally clean and fresh. No smoke odors. AC worked very well at keeping 3rd floor unit cool, with outside temperatures in the mid-nineties. Water pressure and hot water plentiful. Shower stalls clean with zero mold/mildew. Supplied bath towels ample, clean, big and plush. Beds were as described and comfortable. Bedding was clean with additional covers stored in closet. TV's in both bedrooms and living area. Kitchen well equipped, including dishwasher. Washer and Drier in the unit, as well as an operating hotel room safe.

Clean, well stocked with all the necessities
The property was true to its listing, clean, well stocked, with a good location. We had an issue with the fridge at one point and they were quick to address it, responsive and thorough. I would recommend staying here if you're in the area.

Family get away before our cruise
This was a great vacation stay and everything was as advertised. Rooms were great for our family and we would definitely stay here again. They left a book out of the best restaurants, along with the menus, and many other fun activities to do around the area. It was nice having both pools and being across the street from the ocean.
