Thank you for your positive review! We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed your stay with us and found the pool and beach access to be convenient and perfect for a romantic getaway. We appreciate your feedback and hope you'll consider visiting us again in the future.
Our family of 5 has been to Galveston before but this was our first stay at The Dawn. Great location- away from action but doesn’t feel isolated and close to all places we wanted/needed to go. Loved that our condo has a washer/dryer. Kids loved both pools. No complaints!
We enjoyed our stay and will be back again. The condo was clean and had everything you need. It was nice waking up to the ocean view. The only issue was the TV in the bedroom didn’t work and we kept wanting to watch the news due to storm IDA in the gulf.

Shannon, thank you for your review and feedback. As we're always looking for ways to improve, your feedback will be forwarded to the appropriate team members to be reviewed. We sincerely appreciate your patience and understanding while we work on addressing your concerns, and we hope to see you again. Stay safe!
Pictures advertised are spot on and look exactly the same in person. Awesome views & just walk across the street and you’re on the beach. you do have extra changes for parking. We stayed 5 days & it was $50. But the condo and location is well worth it. We will definitely stay here again and have already recommend to our friends.
I liked the unit that I stayed in , I’m just used to units that I’ve stayed in before at The Dawn to have coffee filters, seasonings or even salt and pepper and laundry detergent. It of course has everything you need to cook with .

Thank you for your review, and we're very sorry to hear that you may not have received our suggested "Packing List." Please contact us if there was anything else that we could have done to make your stay better.
So we had Thanksgiving plans that changed and our family was looking for somewhere to go last minute to get out of Colorado to see the ocean. The property was perfect because you could literally walk out your door and across the street and have beachfront access. It was really close to the grocery store gas stations and restaurants as well. The nice thing about this property was at least the time we went the other portions of the beach were busy but on this section it was rarely with two or three families on it. It was amazing to be able to sit on the patio and watch the sunrise and sunset on the ocean .

The location and view is very nice
The property was nice. Not a 5 star condo, but the view and location is very good! The management company charges you an additional parking fee of $38. And you have to go to two different places to check in. It is not convenient. Should have included the parking charge in the price and check in needs to be easy! Especially for such a short visit!

Thank you for your review, Tami, and we're sorry to hear that you feel your stay was anything less than a 5-star experience. In an attempt to be as transparent as possible, we mention that some HOA require guests to pay additional fees, multiple times during our reservation process - listing description, signed Ryson Rental Agreement and then a couple of times via our email communications. The Dawn requires this fee to be paid by guests in person, so that they may also provide guests with their pool & fitness center bands at the same time as their parking pass. Sorry to hear this is an inconvenience or not what was expected. Please let us know if there's anything else we could have done.
This was the perfect spot for a weekend getaway. The location and the grounds were very good. When we arrived there was no ice and the ice maker didn't work. I called the property management but never heard anything after. I wasn't a big deal to buy our own ice since Circle K is right next door but I do expect there to be ice in the condo. Other suggestions I would make would be to update to a more beachy theme and colors and invest in all cotton sheets. Overall great place.
We go to Galveston every summer and have stayed many different places. I would not recommend staying at the Dawn. You have to park really far away from this condo and have many stairs to take. We have small children that can't carry their own luggage and it was really hot. Parking is quite far away. We arrived at this condo and there wasn't any A/C. Ryson resolved the problem by moving us, but we still had unloaded our vehicle and unpacked the suitcases before we realized that it wasn't going to get cool. Again, we only stayed at this condo for a couple of hours. The condo itself is very nice, if the A/C is working.

Crystal, thank you for your review, and we are disappointed to hear that we fell short of providing a 5-star stay. A/C issues can happen, and typically we're able to resolve within the same day, but thank you for your understanding about the move. As for the parking and stairs, we try to make this clear in the listing, but please let us know if there's anything else we could have done.
The condo was nice and clean, some usual beach wear and tear. A few things to note - it is directly on Seawall so the morning and late afternoon road noise during the week is really loud. You cannot hear it with the windows closed though. The screen door really needs to be replaced - you can't even close it. My biggest concern were the towels! We were on a two week vacation visiting a lot of different sites and traveling from California. We didn't have room in our air luggage to pack towels. The unit had no beach towels and you couldn't even use the towels provide in the pool onsite!! It seems like a very inexpensive amenity to provide. Also, having to go to two different places to check in was more work than our neighbors who had a key code to get in. All in all the property is very well maintained, the pools really clean.
Beautiful views, great beach access, very nice pools! The check-in and check-out process was a bit cumbersome. The pull out sofa bed was too uncomfortable to be slept on. But the unit was clean and in a good location.
