We had such a great time in Galveston recently at Mermaid Landing. The condo was very clean and well kept. It was such a welcoming and relaxing place. Everything we needed was there for us and we love the Dawn each time we come.
Such a beautiful place. Across from the beach, had everything we needed for the family. The bunk beds were definitely a plus. Will absolutely stay here again. Couldn't ask for a better place to stay.
My family and I have been traveling to Galveston for summer vacations for the past 30 years or so. We always have a wonderful time and make great memories. We have stayed at The Dawn before it never fails to be a great location. The condos are always well maintained. The property hosts are always easy to reach and very accommodating to whatever the needs there are that may arise .
The condo itself is cute and looks just like the pictures. The bed was comfortable. The couch is pretty worn and not that comfortable. Enjoyed sitting on the patio in the mornings and evenings watching the waves roll in.
We traveled from South Carolina. Were so pleased with this condo near the beach! Walmart across the street, and a gas station with gas for 2.45 per gallon. The condo was perfect, and so clean. Everything was as described, and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
We took a 7 year old and a 1 year old to the beach/ocean for the first time and the Mermaid Landing was perfect right at the street east access to the beach. Host had chairs and towels. The rooms were comfortable and relaxing. Definitely will stay again!

Surprises
The hot tub was not heated so that was the only complaint.
Our stay was absolutely amazing the host is just a text away and responds very quickly this place is breathtaking for those looking for a wonderful beach getaway
Our stay was warm and cozy during some pretty windy days. The location was terrific. The pool area was pretty and clean. The condo was nicely equipped. The communication on getting in and out was perfect.
It was the perfect location away from the busy end of the island. Many grocery stores and restaurants nearby. The property was well kept and never felt too busy.
We loved this property. The condominium was clean the and very comfortable. My only complaint is the dishwasher needs to be replaced. It is an older model and did not clean the dishes very well at all. I don't mind doing dishes, but if you advertise a dishwasher it should be in decent conditionOther than that I would recommend Mermaids Landing to any couple looking to visit Galveston. The location was perfect, close to all the major spots in Galveston. It Was very comfortable and perfect for us.. Other than that I w
My SO and I really enjoyed our stay. Loved the mermaid decor, kitchen had everything we needed (including coffee!), and the bed was the most comfortable we've ever had at a vacation rental. Highly recommend!!
