Great communication with the host, quick to respond. Nice view of the beach, easy to cross the street to the beach or drive. We chose to drive and park on the Seawall since we had a canopy and multiple beach chairs, Very cute condo! There’s a 40 parking fee for 2 nights and 50 for 3 or more nights

Great place to stay. The place is very clean and cozy. The space was perfect for my family. The deck overlooking the beach is a great place to sit and listen to the waves coming in and to enjoy the view both in the morning and evening. The owner was responsive and supportive. The property the room is located on is a great place too if you want to also swim. There are showers in the pool area that you can use to wash the sand off you after coming in from the beach. There is a community barbecue available too if you want to grill something. Highly recommend it!

This is such a nice place! It was perfect for my family. Much more spacious than a hotel! Very clean. Beach is just across the street and in a great location close to restaurants, shopping, etc. We were pleasantly surprised when we opened the bedroom closet door. They have chairs, boogie boards, sand toys, beach towels, games, kids games, etc. etc. Kitchen had everything we needed. Nice TVs in living and bedroom. Homeowner is a great communicator. Highly recommend.

Beautiful place. It had all the extras we needed. Towels, toiletries, an umbrella, kitchen supplies, wash pods, games, books, and more. The location to the beach and Walmart was perfect. It is on the third floor and has a great view on the balcony (just be ready for the stairs). Kids loved the upstairs balcony bedroom. We had plenty of space for 5 people.

Our family came to Galveston as a Christmas present to the kids instead of doing a bunch of gifts. The Mermaid Lookout more than exceeded our expectations. The pictures do not do it justice. Great view, clean, spacious and a quick walk to the pool, hot tub, and beach. The condo was well stocked and had everything we could need for our stay. We would definitely stay at the Mermaid Lookout again! 10/10 would recommend.

Loved the mermaid lookout

We had a wonderful week at the Mermaid Lookout. Location is close to everything without feeling in the middle of it all. Easy access to the beach and the pools are great. Would love to stay here again. Our daughter loved the Mermaid theme and views from the Loft bedroom. Thank you for a wonderful vacation spot.

Overall Great Experience

The Condo was exactly as advertised and allowed my family to have a great weekend away. Walking distance to the beach and Wal-Mart across the street. Everything in the condo worked great, was clean and was comfortable. We would stay here again if we come back to Galveston.

Magnificent for my mermaids

This location was perfect for our family who love the ocean and shelling at the beach. The amenities were great and worked well, it was clean and mostly quiet. Beds were comfy and this space comfortably slept everyone. We would love to stay there again.

I live in Galveston very close to The Dawn Condos. I lived in DFW area for almost 40 years before moving to Galveston.

Why they chose this property

Galveston is great for family vacations and getaways with all of the year round events. After looking at other beachfront complexes, The Dawn had the best amenities and condo floors plans. The grounds are very well maintained and the pools are great.

What makes this property unique

Great views and proximity to shopping, restaurants, activities.
