Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Immerse yourself in the beauty of the Texas Gulf Coast at this Galveston condo, a perfectly located escape with majestic views of the Gulf of Mexico, community amenities that include two swimming pools and a hot tub, and beach access right across the street!

This third-floor condo is located on Seawall Boulevard, offering incredible views of (and direct access to) the azure Gulf of Mexico across the road. Take a sunrise stroll on the beach each morning, treat your kids to afternoons at Moody Gardens and Schlitterbahn Water Park two miles north, and spend your evenings exploring the Strand Historic District and the Postoffice Arts and Entertainment District five miles east.

Step inside to find an open, loft-style living space. Separate sleeping loft with twin beds in addition to the King and sleeper sofa with two-story ceilings, and sliding glass doors that open to the Gulf view balcony. Stock up on groceries at the Walmart Supercenter one block east, use the stainless steel appliances in the kitchen to whip up appetizers and meals, and bring your dessert outside to the balcony for a breathtaking sunset view.

Wake up each morning to work out in the 24-hour fitness center or maybe a run along the seawall for some views. Back at the condo, you can grab your bathing suit from the private washer/dryer, head downstairs to one of the two pristine pools, and soothe your tired muscles in the shared hot tub. If you've booked a deep-sea fishing charter for the day, you'll even find community charcoal grills on the grounds and three cable TVs in the condo for after-dinner movies, or simply relax by streaming your favorite music via the free WiFi.

Come and enjoy the vacation you never knew you needed - book your stay at this Galveston condo today!

We have everything we needed for our stay. The location was fantastic and so weee the views. The only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is some minor things, like the bedroom furniture being too large for the room and hard to get around, and some things looking very worn/old. Overall a great stay.

Needs Major Maintenance.

1. The excessive amount of mold over the microwave when I addressed it the answer I got was concerning. Oh so just over the microwave? Maintenance knew of problem and did not address it? 2. The entire home after an hour being in the home my grandkids feet were very dirty the floors had not been cleaned or they did a poor job of it. 3. The chairs in the dining room could use a hood Magic Clean eraser wipe down they were filthy. 4. Turned the dishwasher on at 10:00 am sounded as if we’re running came back to condo at 2:00 fisher we’re filthy and it was dry as a bone. We had to hand wash the dishes. 5. The outside maintenance for all the hand rails along the stairs could use a cleaning and paint. 6. The water bugs were ALOt a little disturbing. 7. Nice location 8. King bed was comfortable the two twins were very cheap. 9. I do not live in the conditions of the weather so maybe the mildew and mold is a regular thing? Not for me!

Loved it!

We loved the condo itself, the view was amazing, and the location was perfect. Our only complaint about cleanliness was the floors were covered in sand when we first got there. I wasn’t worried about it though because it’s expected when you’re at the beach. Also, we figured out 1 bathroom between 5 people was a struggle but other than that our stay was perfect! 10 times out of 10 we would stay again!

It’s older than you think

From the looks of the pictures , you’d be happy to stay here. Unfortunately, as soon as you walk in - it smells like a camp. Smells old and has an odor. But I thought I could get past that. The bathroom smelled like a bathroom - not fresh and clean . Smelled like urine . As our stay continues , we continue to be disappointed. There was no linens for the pull out sofa. The amount of stains on the sofa bed was aweful. When I asked for linens , they declined. Most of the dishes were not clean.they did not provide adequate cooking supplies that a normal condo would. The hot water heater is extremely small.do not expect to take a bath in a warm tub as the hot water runs out - also there is no stopper the tub for the water. The icing on the cake for my family , the a/c would kick off and turn to 74 in the middleOf the night. We would wake up sweating . When I message the host they told me sorry they do that to control energy . I have never heard of this - never paid for a residence and they control the ac . I understand that some residents have pest and insects- but this room has roaches . So overall I wouldn’t recommend or stay here again

It was okay

First the cleanliness of this condo was not to my standards. The dishes, cups and utensils had dried food all over it. Everything I used had to be washed first. Also the dishwasher was gross and full of food. When I opened it a bunch of gnats flew out. The master bed was like sleeping in a soft hole. I could tell that this mattress at one time was very nice, however it needs to be replaced. Also in the master bedroom the blinds were broken and there was no curtains. The sunrises on that side so at 6 am it was super bright. The view was awesome. Overall we had a great time. There are a few things that need to be fixed but I would stay here again if the cleaning issue was taken care of.

Spring break

Nice area, condo could use some work , but had everything we needed. Area is clean and safe. Busy road out front but near a stoplight for easy crossing. Pool advertised as heated, but both pools were cold so not sure which was supposed to be heated

Great space and location.

We had a great view of the ocean from the balcony which we really enjoyed. Rented this for a girls trip (just 2 of us), we wanted more space than a hotel room and this was perfect. The only down side is the 2 smaller beds are in the loft area up a spiral staircase with no bathroom, however, I figured that based on the photos. Over all it fit our needs perfectly, wish it would have been warm enough to enjoy the 2 beautiful pools.

Nice place with work in progress

We arrived around midnight and had trouble getting in like previous reviews stated. Passcode didn’t work. Customer service answered our phone call right away but attempt at multiple passcode changes didn’t help. Eventually we had to get the key out of the lock box and it was our only key for the duration of our stay. Great location, apartment is nice but in need of repairs. Repair and paint materials were found in the closet, so we can say that it’s work in progress.

Bad experience

Ac was not working when we arrived, things happen, I get that. We were given instructions for a possible reset, which we tried unsuccessfully. We were also told it was our fault for arriving after 3pm which is insane since earliest check in was 4pm. It just went downhill from there. Would not recommend, it was nothing like the photos. Furnished completely differently and not in a positive way. I've never given a poor review but this experience was beyond bad.

Great spot!

We loved the Break of Dawn for our weekend trip to the coast! The house was clean, exactly as advertised, and across the street from the beach! Many times we talked to the corner store or Walmart to grab a few things before relaxing by the water. Amazing location! The office staff was great, the pools looked inviting, and parking was no problem. The unit had everything we needed and no complaints. There were a few minor things- cracked bathroom tiles, minor musty smell, creaking bed, but nothing that would prevent us from staying there again. The kids LOVED the spiral staircase and beds in the loft and we took advantage of the balcony as much as possible. Overall, it was everything we wanted and at a great price!

A nice weekend!

The condo was very nice and in a great location. Be ready to tone your leg muscles with it being on the third floor!! We did have some trouble getting into the condo, the code did not work even after contacting the property manager and getting a second code. We ended up having to use the lock box key. The condo was not cleaned when we finally got in but we were able to contact customer support and they sent out the cleaning team immediately. They did a fabulous job! We were also refunded the cleaning fee. A minor repair needs to be done to the toilet that runs constantly. Other than that, we would stay there again!!
