We have stayed at the Dawn previously, but really enjoyed this unit due to bottom floor while traveling with an elderly adult! Very clean unit and well maintained!

Very nice condo. Beds were super comfortable and nicely decorated. A few minor things - the water doesn’t work on the refrigerator door but the ice does(?). Needs a little touch up here and there but overall was very nice.

Condo was clean and we liked that you could go out the porch gate and walk straight to the pool. The people at the Dunes were very helpful and friendly. We were walking distance to the beach and close to many places to eat. The problems were in the condo. It was cute but the freezer did not work, the toilet in the master bedroom ran the entire time, and no curtains in the second bedroom. With the lights from the next door building at night it was like daylight in the bedroom. Room darkening curtains would make a world of difference. Otherwise, we made due and enjoyed our stay. The history of Galveston Island and museums in the area were wonderful.

Beautiful property, right by the pool on a lovely weekend in Galveston. We couldn’t have asked for anything better this weekend. We’ve stayed at The Dawn several times but this was our first time in this unit. We would absolutely stay again.

The condo was so cute and clean. It had everything we needed for a comfortable stay in Galveston. The pool is literally in the backyard! The weather was gorgeous, but the pool water was a bit chilly this time of year so we didn’t use it as much as we would have otherwise. The condo was spacious yet cozy. We thoroughly enjoyed our time at this location.

Wonderful condo, we had everything we needed, even coffee! Very clean! But what set this place apart from others was the service- when we had a plumbing issue, the owner came by right away and fixed it! He could not have been more responsive, that’s really rare. We will definitely stay here again!!!

Awesome stay. No pools are heated and some deep cleaning of the place is needed.

Thanks for the 5 stars. To be clear the pools have “pool warmers” and each has a hot tub attached. We do an annual deep cleaning in spring which unfortunately this year the unit was occupied. So we had to reschedule it for after you checked out. So glad you enjoyed our fabulous home. Best wishes and warmest regards from Galveston.
