2 BR, Ground Floor Condo. Ocean & beach directly across the street

We offer a 10% discount for returning guests!

This ground floor condo is located at the Dawn Condos right across the street from the new beautiful sand beach on the Gulf of Mexico.
The condo offers two bedrooms (one en suite) , a lounge/dining area, a fully equipped kitchenette and a patio overlooking one of the two outdoor pools. It is next to Walmart and the most popular fishing pier with easy access to the roadway to Houston Texas.
In addition to the two pools there is a hot tub, BBQ grills and a fitness suite. This location is peaceful, beautifully maintained and "just a paradise".
Catch the Trolly in front on the condo complex and explore downtown Galveston.
Some of the attractions close by are the Moody Gardens amusement park and aquarium, Elissa museum, Historic Pleasure Pier, a wide variety of things to do and attractions to see down on the Strand.
Take a relaxing day looking for the trees carved into unique figures with an interesting history behind the reason for the trees and have fun for the kids to help spot these tree figures. You can also see the big cruise ships roll in. There are many great restaurants not to mention the freshest fish markets in town.
Galveston always has events on the island. Keep up with Galveston's website for the next upcoming event.
I want your stay and enjoyment to be the best it can be. If I can help with anything please let me know. I always appreciated when the host helped me on my travels with recommendations so I really want to return that favor.
The condo is fully furnished all you need is your clothes and food. I have recently updated the interior including a large smart tv in living room and smart TVs in bedrooms. New pictures coming soon!
Relax, have fun, and make all the memories you possibly can. God Bless.

Outstanding location, amenities, and condo

Melissa was great! The condo location couldn’t have been better being within close walking distance of Walmart and across the street from the beach. The trolley stop was just outside the condo complex. We would definitely stay again!

Great property - - bad communication

Property, cleanliness, facilities were excellent. Codes (parking, walkin gate, etc.) were all incorrect. Fortunately we got in during office hours and the checkin manager had a sheet with updated code numbers. UPDATE YOUR welcome e-mail !! Being charged for parking - finally found that in the fine print on the listing. NOT BEING CLEARLY OVERTLY NOTIFIED just ticked us off.

Sharon G, July 2024

The apartment was nice although seemed a little tired especially the bathrooms which in one bathroom there was alot of rust/staining around the shower door and the other bathroom there was a pipe coming from the ceiling with water being dripped out into the bath and was alot of staining in the bath, did not look clean, so we didnt want to use that shower and was all having to use one shower. The complex was nice, although disappointed as the gym was shut but may be because of damage from hurricane beryl. Overall would probably not stay at that apartment again.

Good location…some issues

Our stay was in July so we appreciated a ground floor unit; no stairs to use. Propery is cute inside. Locaton is convenient. At first propery appeared clean but had to sweep and wipe down floors and surfaces due to our feet getting dirty. Mop head used needs to be washed and replaced regularly and throw away that swiffer! Leaves a sticky film on floor. Toilet had been leaking and under was wet and moldy. Some mold and rust in showers. I would suggest paying for a deep clean. Kids bathroom had to be rinsed and they did not like the water being piped into the faucet; killed the vacation vibe. It had sand and grass in it. Had to clean run vinegar in coffee pod side and clean it out before use. There was dust on surfaces so it wasnt getting a good wipe down. Host was responsive and offered for cleaners to come back but I felt I could clean better. I didn’t trust the job would get done. I will not return as I feel we pay a large fee for cleaning, and I spent some of vacation cleaning the unit.

Awesome location

Overall the condo was perfect for our family. Location was great. Comfortable property. Great communication with the owner. The only issue which was a pain was the code to the gate was 7 years old, so had a hard time for a couple of days. The owner gave us the newest code after contacting her. The pools were closed for several days which was a bummer. I’d stay there again.
