Dawn never Fails

1st time to stay in this unit. Everything was great. Very clean when we arrived. The unit has everything you need. With Walmart right across the street, you can get all the things to stock up for your family. Nice view from the balcony with the ocean right across the street. Walk out the gate, cross the street, and you are on the beach. Parking is easy at the Dawn. Highly recommend this condo. Family had a blast.

We rented this condo for a convention in Galveston. It was clean and was above expectation. It is located in a nice gated community and was very easy to find. The location is perfect.

The property was wonderful and very simple to find and the check in process was great, only recommendations are to have a carafe for the coffee pot and possibly some room darkening curtains for the bedrooms! Everything was perfect.!!!!!!!!!!!

Great stay at a beautiful complex

We enjoyed our stay very much. There were plenty of kitchen supplies and the beds were very comfortable. The grounds and amenities were wonderful. My only suggestion would be to supply hand soap for the restrooms or advise renters to pick it up prior to arrival.

Great property

It’s a great place with a great location to beach/pool. View of ocean is good enough for first floor, but bonus is access to green lawn to stretch your legs. Place is equipped with everything you need within reason and well furnished and clean, plus beds were quite comfortable. Also, rental company was very responsive to issues with front lock and the microwave.

Fun Galveston Retreat

We always love staying at The Dawn while visiting Galveston. Well furnished condo, very comfy beds and nice outdoor patio. The internet was out but this was an internet company problem. We enjoyed the quietness of be somewhat unplugged(we still had our phones😉)

Wonderful Condo

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The condo was great, plenty of space, close to the pool and we could see the beach from the sliding glass doors in the living room. The condo has a full size washer and dryer, that was great for all the beach towels and bathing suits. Visit the Sunflower Bakery and Cafe while in town, it was amazing and they change their specials daily. Katie's Seafood did not disappoint and the shops on the Strand were fun.

Gulf Trip

The location was good, close to everything. The patio door was not useable so no sitting outside. The condo could have been cleaner, the floors need major attention. The microwave did not work. There were bugs in the bathroom. But the clincher was being asked to do ANY cleanup after paying for cleaning when we left! Will we stay here again, not likely.

This is nice property. Love the view!! The only issue is that I asked if there was a closet in the second bedroom. Yes but it’s locked and can’t be used. Also asked if there was a tv in the spare room. Yes but never could get a signal. Besides that everything else was perfect.

Not what it looks like. . .

We asked for a check-in time 30 minutes earlier than the 4:00 time as my husband had a critically important work video conference at 4:00 that he needed to take in place. They refused to accommodate this request and someone in customer service (who you only text with btw) suggested that we find somewhere we could "rent a room by the hour" for our needs before check-in?!?! Because of this, we had to stay in DFW until he completed the call and could not make our journey until after it ended which resulted in us not being able to arrive until after midnight. Upon arrival, it was clear that our expectations had been way too high. The pictures you see here are not what you will get. It is quite dirty. There were visible stains on the king size bedspread (which we promptly removed) and the linens provided for the rollaway beds were mismatched and one of the duvets had visible blood on it and smells of feces. It was absolutely disgusting. On at least two occasions during our stay, we locked the door, tested that it was locked, and returned to an unlocked door. Thankfully we had taken all items of value (phones, computers, etc.) with us and nothing was stolen, but it was very disconcerting to return to an unlocked condo and it made us nervous at night wondering if someone could enter even though the door was locked. We will never stay here or another "Turn-key" property again. It was a very unsatisfactory stay.
