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!

Very good
Reviews are presented in chronological order, subject to a moderation process, and verified unless otherwise labelled.
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.

Cute place but bring bug spray.
Like the location. Away from the busy area but not to far from anything.
Clean and plenty of towels and bedding. Great view of the beach from the balcony, spent lots of time out there! 3rd floor no elevator was tough but worth the view and comfort!!

The view is perfect! The property is very well kept. The pools were clean. The condo was very "at...
The people around us were very nice
I would come back soon.
Location was good with a Walmart on the next block over. Property was as described, but I agree with previous reviews about the tile in the bathroom needing attention. Overall it was a great place to stay.
We really enjoyed our stay in Galveston. The property was clean, the check-in was efficient, and the location was perfect. Thank you for your hospitality. We hope to come back next year for the convention again.

Galveston vacay
We had a great time on our vacation. The condo was a great fit for our family. Beds were very comfortable. Washer worked great and got a lot of use. Great views. We loved the pools. Very good experience, would come back.
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!

Great Condo!
This condo has a great view of the ocean. It was spacious and had everything we needed for our family of 4. I would stay here again if I am ever back in Galveston. Note that this condo is on the 3rd floor with no elevators and there is a $20 fee for parking.

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 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 location/View
Spent 5 nights here and love the location - close to everything and the amenities are very nice. Only downside was there had been maintenance working repairing the bathroom ceiling and left their mess which should have been cleaned up before our arrival - didn’t like having to sweep and mop floors as soon as we arrived. Vacasa was very quick to help us with the door code and replying about the mess the maintenance fold made.

Check in process was horrible! Clerk at desk was rude. However, the location to the beach was great. The pool area was awesome-nice to have 2 pools to chose from. The rooms were nice but did find a few cockroaches on the balcony. Overall, we’re satisfied and would stay there again.

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!

Don't give this owner any of your money. This unit was disgusting. Mold and other things on the shower curtain, mold and rust on the air vents, cracked and loose tile on the floor just to name a few things.... We have stayed at The Dawn Condos several times and love the property. Just don't stay in this unit!!!

Easter Beach Weekend
The location of the condo was great. The views were amazing. However, this condo needs some updating. I agree with the reviews I read that a deep cleaning is needed. Blinds were very dusty and lots of mildew around the vents. The carpet needs replaced. Also, the dishwasher didn’t work. The third level didn’t bother us, but I could see how it would be difficult getting your items to the 3rd floor for some folks. All in all, the place was just ok. We spent most of our time at the beach so it served its purpose.

It was ok
It took us 1 hour to get into the property because the codes they sent us did not work. After an hour of waiting outside we finally got a code that worked. When we walked in the floors were sticky and just not clean looking. For what I paid for just wasn’t it in my opinion.

Unit needs some love
View was terrific. Unit needs work. Kitchen is limited with no can opener, no hot pads, limited silverware, no blender lid, scummy shower curtain liner, poor lighting throughout. Bed terribly soft. Check in process was not good. Couldn't get in. Carpets need cleaning. Area is fun to explore. Clients should know that they need to provide all their own household essentials like toilet paper, trash bags and dishwasher tabs, etc.

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.
