GALVESTON VACATION RENTAL WITH GREAT GUEST REVIEWS since 2009 -
CLOSE TO ALL GALVESTON ATTRACTIONS! Beautiful Galveston BEACH across the street; one mile from Moody Gardens, Shlitterbahn and the Galveston Convention Center

Surround yourself with lavish decor and start your island experience at our condo!

Sitting on the balcony drinking your morning coffee or just enjoying the ocean view with your favorite drink in hand and watching the seagulls overhead can be delightful!

Listening to the ocean waves and feeling the great gulf breeze is PARADISE when you're stressed and overworked! Plan to start your day sitting on the balcony watching the luminous sun come up! Our condo is an easy access to the beautiful sandy beach across the street!

The magic of a fun VACATION or GET-A-WAY will start here!

The water trickling in the fountain from the swimming pool below while relaxing on the balcony watching the ocean waves and beach will enhance your sense of relaxation and provide for an awesome island experience! Our condo is in a gated community surrounded by lush tropical landscaping, 2 resort style pools, 1 spa tub, and a full gym with elliptical equipment and weights. Our swimming pools are open year-round. One of the pools which is normally heated is under repair. Bring your beach towels and head off to the beach across the street!

This condo is super spacious with its 1,116 sq. feet of living space with 2 private bedrooms, a large entertainment area, separate dining space and a kitchen with full-size stainless-steel appliances; definitely NOT tiny like other condos found on the island

If you and your family want plenty of personal space during your island stay, then this condo is the one for you! Our condo is set up to provide a fantastic vacation or get-away in a relaxed, luxurious environment far different from the sterile, cramped space of an efficiency hotel or motel! Children love our condo; We pride in making it very child friendly!

You can workout at the fitness center then dive into the swimming pool to finish out your workout! OR (my favorite) take your margarita or cooler to the swimming pool and relax with a great book. And begin your gorgeous suntan. Older adults can sit at the balcony above and watch the children splashing and laughing while waving to you at the shaded balcony above!

The large smart flat screen TV will be a welcome in the evening as you and your family watch your favorite movies, munch on popcorn and catch up on family happenings! You will feel like you are in a tropical resort and close to paradise! This beach condo is luxurious inside and the landscaping outside is fabulous!

You will find high quality furnishings and great amenities! Our goal is to provide the best luxurious Galveston condo stay such that you will want to tell your friends and other family members! We have guests who return every year and wouldn't think of staying anywhere else! Read our many guest reviews!

Our condo has a king size bed with an attached bathroom in the master bedroom. and oversize luxurious shower. The second bedroom has a queen and twin bed. We try and furnish this condo to be perfect for families with small children!

We have a toddler bed in the spacious closet (almost like a separate room), a Pack N Play and highchair. We also keep children's classic videos in the second bedroom. A Roku smart TV for the kiddos to keep them entertained while you cook their favorite meal (mac and cheese).

If all that is not enough, we also have for your convenience a full-size dryer and washer inside the condo! Enjoy your vacation or just a get-away in a relaxing, spacious and luxurious environment!

Docs Quarters vacation rentals have you in mind! The 2 spacious bedrooms with 2 full bathrooms are perfect for a family of seven! When you come to Galveston, stay at Docs Quarters at the Seawall; experience a great ocean view, clean pools with luscious landscaping and beach across the street. You will surely enjoy your Galveston stay and make wonderful family memories!!

Fantastic Property and Location

Excellent condo in great condition! Well appointed and perfect for our family. It was our first time in the area and we enjoyed it. Could do without the Highway between you and the beach but the condo complex is well designed around that aspect with great pools and landscape. Great place to stay!

Beautiful family vacation rental

The condo was very spacious and in a perfect location to walk to the beach. Doc and Yolanda had so many things for us to do with any down time, and if you forgot something at home, I'm almost certain they'll have what you need to borrow there!! The space felt like a home away from home! We would enjoy visiting again in the future.

Great Stay

We loved the condo! Yolanda was very communicative, and the place was very clean and comfortable. We stayed out on the patio overlooking one of the pools and the ocean. Easy walk across the street to Babe's Beach. Comfy beds, plenty of space to hang out. Pools were both great. Would stay again.

Great condo at the Dawn

We’ve stayed at several different condos at the Dawn and this is one of the best! Plenty of room to spread out, large bedrooms and lots of closet space. The kitchen is updated and has everything you need and more. The condo is clean, well-stocked and in a great location within the complex, close to both pools.

Fantastic for Families

Yolanda was awesome to work with, condo had everything we needed! They really thought of it all. Towels were soft of fluffy, beds super comfortable, with lots of extra blankets in the closets. Our 6 year old loved the pirate bed and having his "own room" in the primary room closet. Will definitely look into staying here or at one of their other properties next time we are in Galveston!

Nice view and clean

This property has a nice view of the ocean. It was very clean and well stocked with everything we could need. It’s a short drive to the pier and many good restaurants are in the area. We even found a free ferry on the east end of the island that if you ride it in the morning, the dolphins swim along the boat with you! The property owner is quick to respond to messages as well!

Excellent condo!

We stayed here for spring break March 2023 and had an absolutely amazing time! We had a mix of adults teens and younger children, and there was more than enough room and privacy for everyone! One of the most well-equipped, well-maintained condos we've stayed in. The owner makes sure you have everything you need and more for a great stay. There were even pool and beach toys and chairs, towels, and plenty of extra pillows and blankets for the condo. Completely furnished with all the comforts of home and then some! Highly recommend if you're going to be staying in the Galveston area and want to be right on the beach and feel like home away from home .

Pleasant experience

The condo is very well maintained and comes thoroughly equipped for your every need. I especially liked how quiet the complex was. No slamming hotel doors, noisy neighbors. The beds were comfortable, with nice bedding. The pools were clean and quiet. The location is near everything. I will be staying again when I get a chance. The only con I can think of is that the sofa is and beginning to show some wear. Excellent long weekend.

Overall 5 Stars!! If you have kids, this is a great rental. Lots of beach toys and small children's books available to read. The condo was clean and the kitchen well stocked. When I contacted Yolanda with 2 very small problems she was quick to respond. Mostly, I enjoyed the balcony view of both the pool and ocean. Hope to return very soon.

Great place to stay

The condo was great. Clean and stocked even with things we did not need to use. Based on text messages and emails Yolanda is very sweet and accomodating. The location is wonderful because Walmart and restaurants are within walking distance. The beach is viewable from the deck and right across the street. The only thing I didnt like which Yolanda has no control over is there were adults on the side that does not have a hot tub who were in the small "cool down" pool drinking beer. Other than that I definitely recommend booking the condo.

Great location, comfy home away from home

Nice comfortable place, great location; we would stay again! Only thing that bummed us out was that there was netting on the porch that takes away from the view, but I understand that it’s probably to keep out birds. Beach is right across the street with a crosswalk not far from the building. The pool was not heated but I’m sure that’s an HOA issue, not the owners fault. I don’t think there’s much call for the pool in December, my kids are just crazy! There were pool toys and pool noodles in the kids room too, which was a nice surprise, especially since most people don’t think to pack that kind of thing. Kitchen fully stocked with anything you would need to cook. There are also lots of movies and games, which was a nice touch!

About the host

Hosted by Yolanda

Host profile image
We have lived along the Texas Gulf Coast for over 25 years. We have seen Galveston grow into an exciting and beautiful resort city with a home town culture! We enjoy walking along the seawall and beach especially early mornings and late evenings - watching the sun rise and the moon's radiant glow on the waves. The Strand is also a favorite hangout; touring the shops and enjoying a refreshing drink while watching the children laughing and having a fabulous time!

We also enjoy sitting on the balcony, drinking coffee, eating breakfast and watching the ocean waves and hearing the water from the fountain at the swimming pool. These experiences can be very romantic!

Sitting at the balcony in the shade feeling the gulf breeze and looking down at the swimming pool and watching the children having a great time at the pool is a great feeling!

Why they chose this property

Our condo makes for a great Galveston getaway! The complex has beautiful landscaping and the condominiums are splashed with tropical Caribbean colors. I especially enjoy the location and proximity to Schlitterbahn Water Park (1 mile), the mini golf course located at the Seawall, the Galveston Convention Center and Moody Gardens (1 mile). This makes the condominium ideal for year round fun!
By the way we also have a heated spa and fitness center to keep you in shape while eating the fantastic food while in Galveston!

What makes this property unique

Our balcony is a wonderful place to relax and plan your daily itinerary! You can listen to the sounds of the seagulls, the ocean waves or hear the water fountain at the swimming pool. Sitting at the balcony and watching the beach and water at the seawall is absolutely superb! Sunbathe at the condominium’s one of two swimming pools or go to the public beach across the street and feel the sand between your toes!

Some guests take their early walk or jog along the seawall while enjoying the sea air and listening to the ocean waves. Exercising can't get any better than that!

The condo's proximity and the convenience to Galveston's main attractions is ideal! Check it out!. . .you and your children and family will not be disappointed with this beach condo!
