My granddaughter and I took a summer trip to Galveston. The condo was a perfect place to stay. It was clean comfortable and had all the amenities needed. The pool was in our backyard and Walmart was right next door. Walking distance to the beach and a 10 minute drive to Moody Gardens. Close to lots of restaurants. I would definitely rent this condo again.
The condo was extremely well kept. The pool being a few steps away was amazing. The dawns being in a gated community was a great plus. Many cars were broken into at other locations in Galveston while I was visiting but I didn’t have to worry about my car due to the gated parking. I’ll definitely be back!
The unit was nice. The locations was wonderful. Pool and amenities were great. I was disappointed in the parking fees. It was my fault for not reading the fine print but that was a surprise to me. It is listed in the full details though. I brought two vehicles but had I realized that we would have just done one.
Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication
This property was very very clean. Loved all the decor of the place. Looked exactly like the pic. Will recommend it for anyone else traveling to the Galveston area.
We have visited Galveston quite a few times and let me tell you this was our best experience!! The condo was so clean and homey!! The host was more than accommodating!! I highly recommend!!!
The unit is in a great location, near the beach, Moody Gardens, and lots of food. Very quiet community too. Very fast communication with the host! Will stay again.
Thank you for the great experience! Beautiful condo in a great location. We would recommend this home to others and would not hesitate to stay here again!

Hi Regina! Thank you for coming! It was a pleasure to host you all and looking forward to the next time!
Wonderful location with everything we needed to relax and unwind. Clean and modern, master bed was comfortable too. Very close to the beach, and the pool onsite was only a few steps away. We will certainly be back!
We loved our stay here! My 4 year old loved his “closet bedroom” and the place came with everything we needed! Beach toys and chairs, plenty of towels and having washer/dryer was awesome.
This was our second time staying at the Dawn Condominiums, first time at the Dolphin. It was a great experience. The condo had everything we needed and the king bed was comfortable for us! The location of the condo is in between both pools and right across the street from Babe’s beach.
We had a wonderful stay at the Dolphin. It’s perfectly located close to both pools. The condo is lovely and perfect for my daughter and I. We greatly appreciated the generous assortment of K-cups to get us going in the morning. This is in a great location: easy access to the beach, close to all the touristy stuff, but also close to a quieter section of beaches.
