4/10 Poor

Liked: Check-in
The point of booking this property was for the patio and ocean view. The furniture was broken and not usable so unless you wanted to stand the entire time, we did not get to enjoy the patio as intended. The shower did not work, so you could only take a bath. And it is a small tub at that. The ice maker did not work either. They provide one roll of toilet paper and tell you to bring your own. You also only get one towel per person and if you want more have to bring them. For the price we paid it is extremely outdated, need a lot of maintenance and cosmetic repairs before renting for what they are charging. Would not stay here again or recommend it. It was unpleasurable that we checked out a day early and went and stayed at a friend's house to at least have one good night in Galveston.

beautiful view

The condo was a great location for us as we planned to play golf and it is very close to the course. The pool and spa are very nice and the ocean view was superb. Had everything we needed, TV, king size bed, kitchen, Washer/dryer. The stairs were a little hard for our arthritis, but loved the 2nd story view. We didn't know about the parking fee until our arrival. Overall, it was a nice place for price.

Beautiful And Peaceful

Overall the stay was definitely pleasantly peaceful, relaxing and enjoyable. Why I would recommend staying is because of the quick transfer of locations. I needed an accessible area, which is the disappointment, there are no elevators for those less fortunate to walk up 3 flights of stairs. However, the management staff secured a first floor apartment, so I stayed in 614, facing the gulf. Ocean view right in front of the seawall. The place was clean, convenient, although a few minor things, the stay was very must a beautiful and pleasantly peaceful experience. But if you don’t need accommodations for any of your guess, the Dawn is a nice place to stay from my personal experience. So 4 because of not having an elevator.

Birds on balcony are a real health hazard

There are pigeons roosting on the balcony and they are not scared of humans. There was bird droppings everywhere on the balcony and furniture! They clearly had been in the condo as there was bird droppings on the bedroom nightstand. I took pictures and have sent to property manager. The location is great and pool is lovely. Kitchen needs more cutlery and supplies. If the bird issue hadn’t been there it would really have been a positive experience.

Galveston at The Dawn

We loved the property. The only negative, and it is a Hugh one, is Thant none of the guest followed pool rules and no one from the complex even checked on either pool the five days we were there. There was age restrictions on the hot tub that no one followed. It was full of kids (1 yr up) with floats nearly as big as the hot tub. We tried to get in but could not. Kids were throwing ball completely across the pool hitting quests And knocking over drinks and cheered on by their parents. All the kids were running around the pool and running into people. Our towels were removed from the chairs we had and thrown on the ground. Unless this changes, we will not be back. So sad because we lived the condo and location

Wouldn't stay again.

After reading all the wonderful reviews, we decided on this specific unit. I feel like the pictures and the reviews were a bit deceiving. Im actually wondering if they delete honest reviews and onky show tge positive ones. This unit definitely needs some attention and mantinence. And overall, upgrading. For the price per night that is charged, I definitely expected a better maintained room. Our first night there, the ceiling fan blade FLEW OFF and landed just inches from our 3 year old daughter. So no using the rest of the trip, and she was terrified it was going to hurt her the whole time. There is mold and water leak damage to the celing in the bedroom as well. Also, a fist size hole in the shower ceiling. We had to stuff tissue in there to "close it up". Both the washing machine, and the dishwasher are extremely loud. Sounding like a jet plane about to take off. So if you do laundry, do it while you are out because it is crazy loud. We also found some hairs in the "clean" towels and some make-up on one of them. So we had to wash them before use. Definitely bring your own pans to cook with. The ones provided are cheap and dont cook food too great. They do have some decent kitchen supplies for your use otherwise. Bed was comfortable in the bedroom. Couch, not so much. Plenty of pillows and an extra set of sheets and blanket for use as well, so that was nice. Pool was nice. We used it both days. Parking felt safe, it is gated. Overall, I would Not stay in this unit again. HUGE safety issue with the fan blade flying off. Had it hit my daughter, we would have had some major issues. The shower could easily be fixed with a $10 patch kit from walmart. Touch up paint the walls. Fix the washer and dishwasher. And the ceiling can be fixed as well. Mold in a unit is NOT safe for people to be breathing in.

Jennifer, thank you for your reviews. Ryson has no authority over third-party booking site reviews, so the reviews listed should be as accurate as it gets. We appreciate your understanding that things may go wrong from time to time during a guest stay. The past year and a half has been a record-breaking year - more reservations without anying slowing down between our typica peak seasons, where we work and plan to address issues. Couple that with hiring & training more staff than we ever had in the past, we don't doubt you experienced the things you described, and we will continue to do our best to resolve the issues you reported. However, we say all of that to say this, we are disappointed to hear that we fell short of providing a 5-star stay, and your feedback will be forwarded to the appropriate department to be reviewed and addressed. Please let us know if there's anything else that cold have been done.

We got to the property no map or building number given. Finally found our condo. Toilet didn’t work I had to fix it. Told them the next day no one came to check on it. Bare minimum kitchen and toilet accessories ( toilet paper, kitchen utensils ) The front door was hard to open and close my wife wasn’t able to Thank God I was with them. The balcony door had no lock at all but we was on the third floor so not a real problem I guess. We stay a lot in different places this place was the worst place we have stayed on vacation using VRBO.
