We rent at The Dawn every year and Mermaid Landing was one of the nicest rentals we’ve had at The Dawn. The unit (and patio) was very clean and had a ‘homey’ feel to it. Communication with the Owner was great and she made our stay comfortable. The location was great being beachfront, close to parking and just a short walk to the main pool. We would definitely stay at Mermaid Landing again and highly recommend.

The location is great, just walk across the street to the beach.However, this condo was not clean. There were dead bugs all over the floor, the shower had sand and hair in it and it smelled very musty.They had recently bought a de-humidifier and left the empty box and trash on the counter.Very disappointing!

Spring Break

We took a 7 year old and a 1 year old to the beach/ocean for the first time and the Mermaid Landing was perfect right at the street east access to the beach. Host had chairs and towels. The rooms were comfortable and relaxing. Definitely will stay again!

Weekend Getaway

Due to the weather, were unable to fully utilize all of the amenities. However, it was comfortable, clean and we enjoyed a well deserved break. I appreciated the property owners engagement with us to ensure we were comfortable. Overall, it was a very enjoyable experience.

Great stay

The place was as advertised. The condo was just what we needed for our family of 4. The beds were comfortable, the shower was great and the view was beautiful. Julie is a terrific host. She had coffee to get us started, basic spices, full size shampoo/conditioner, laundry detergent, dishwasher detergent, beach towels, chairs, boogie boards and toys. You can hear the traffic on the seawall, but that's to be expected considering the location. My family was already asking me to book the place again before we even left!

Stop searching and just pick this one!!

If you have been looking at pricy rooms with queen size beds tucked into a little corner, just stop looking and rent this one. We stayed at the Mermaid Landing at The Dawn this past weekend and we 10/10 recommend!! Our initial thought was how clean this room was and the decor was not overwhelming, which made it very comfortable and cozy. The king size bed and sheets were sooo soft! We almost took the mattress home with us! lol The room had everything you might need - including beach towels, toys, cookware, even big bottles of shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. While searching for condos, a lot of them had balconies that had corner views of the ocean and someone else's balcony... Mermaid Landing has a full, unobstructed view of the beach. It has a nice small porch with a gate to another gated yard - so if you have kids, they can't get to the road if they sneak off the porch. The room is conveniently located near the pool - which is very pretty and relaxing - and the parking lot. BONUS: hardly any checkout chores. Throw a load of towels in the washer, start the dishwasher, and take out the trash. THATS IT! Julie - the owner - was wonderful. She was easy to contact prior to check-in, and texted during our trip to make sure we were taken care of and that we did not need anything! We will definitely book Mermaid Landing at The Dawn during our next trip to Galveston!

My family and I have been traveling to Galveston for summer vacations for the past 30 years or so. We always have a wonderful time and make great memories. We have stayed at The Dawn before it never fails to be a great location. The condos are always well maintained. The property hosts are always easy to reach and very accommodating to whatever the needs there are that may arise .

We loved this property. The condominium was clean the and very comfortable. My only complaint is the dishwasher needs to be replaced. It is an older model and did not clean the dishes very well at all. I don't mind doing dishes, but if you advertise a dishwasher it should be in decent conditionOther than that I would recommend Mermaids Landing to any couple looking to visit Galveston.

Not beachfront, hard to find unit

The property was clean but had an overpowering perfumed smell. The bed was tolerable but not a good quality mattress. The description should highlight the fact there is a highway between the condo and the beach. It was well stocked with coffee and sweeteners as well as spices. Overall, the quality for the price was fair.
