About this property

AMAZING OCEAN/BEACH VIEW at Balcony/Heated Pool/SPA/ close to ATTRACTIONS

Amazing Galveston Island get-a-way with Babe's Beach and its beach view across the street! Our home is located close to all attractions at the Seawall. We recommend our home for couple's getaway (King beds), girls gab party to catch up on the years gone by, generational family getaway with Mom and Dad to remember the best of growing up! And more important than all that is making memories with your loved ones!

Watch the ocean waves crashing on the beachy sand, listen to the sounds of the seagulls, all while sitting at the balcony drinking your margarita with a cool breeze on your face and hair flying with the wind! The beach and island experience will be found at this condo! Don't just take my word for it, read our many guest reviews!

The amenities and decor are phenomenal! The 2 large bedrooms each with King beds and 1 twin mattress in the closet that can be moved around. Bedrooms located on opposite ends of the condo for maximum privacy. The 2 full bathrooms are perfect for a family of 5 + the toddler bed!

We have a queen size sofa in the living space that could be used for sleeping BUT IT IS NOT A SOFA BED AND WILL ONLY SLEEPS ONE PERSON.

The master bathroom has granite counter tops with his and hers sinks and a spacious, modern glass enclosed shower! When your surroundings are beautiful and you're sleeping in a high end posterpedic mattress you will wake up refreshed, energized and ready to enjoy your island stay!

For your convenience, Moody Gardens, Schlitterbahn Water Park and the Galveston Convention Center are only a mile away! Close enough to come back, take a rest and then rush back for more excitement and fun! Our condo is in a gated community surrounded by lush tropical landscaping, 2 resort style pools, heated spa tub in one of the swimming pools . A full gym with elliptical equipment and free weights can be accessed 24/7 with a passccode.

You can workout at the fitness center and to finish your workout by diving into one of the two swimming pools. Relax at the swimming pool with a great book and begin your gorgeous suntan. The large Smart ROKU TV will be a welcome delight in the evening as you relax and laugh over the day's events with your loved ones! Or just sit at the balcony, feel the breeze and watch the ocean waves at the beach and listen to the seagulls!

A smaller flat screen TV is located in the second bedroom if you prefer to watch your favorite cooking or sports channel while reclining and relaxing on the bed! You will absolutely feel like you are in a tropical paradise, and you don't have to travel to the Caribbean!

This beach condo has stainless steel appliances and granite countertops throughout the condo, full size washer/dryer, fully equipped kitchen with everything furnished to make your perfect meal! Just bring the food!

One mile to Moody Gardens, and Schlitterbaun Water Park. The Strand Historic District for shopping and enjoyment is only 4 miles away. Pleasure Pier only 3 miles. I recommend using the Galveston rubber Trolley that stops outside our complex to travel to many of the destinations found along the Seawall. Cost is minimal!

This condo is SPACIOUS with a fantastic view of the ocean; located right by the seawall, which is a great place to ride your bicycle, run your morning jog or walk the beach looking for seashells! You will NOT forget your Galveston Island vacation experiences at our beach condo!

DO YOU STILL NEED MORE ROOM for family and friends?

See listing [(3 bedroom) vrbo.com/973827ha] or (2 bedroom) [VRBO.com/973830ha]; both homes are located SIDE BY SIDE and only steps (2-minute walk) to the Beach!

Our beautiful condo second bedroom also has a king size bed. We have a twin-size mattress in the closet that can be pulled out for the little one! It has a tub/shower combination ideal for the little 'fishes' in your family right outside this bedroom.

The queen size sofa can be found in the spacious entertainment room which will sleep one person. All appliances are "top of the line'" Our condo has granite countertops from kitchen to bathrooms. If you must launder, remember, we do have a full-size washer and dryer in the condo! Secure password protected Wi-Fi available!

I decided to book this condo on a spur of the moment mom/daughter spring break trip. Condo was amazing. Beds comfortable, SO clean, no weird smells, and the view was amazing! We had an issue getting in the condo and Yolanda answered the phone immediately and handled it fast. Would highly recommend this place.

Exceptionally Nice

Condo was exceptionally nice and decor was beautiful. We were able to walk to Walmart to get necessities. View of the gulf was great. Enjoyed the balcony until the weekend, then the traffic noise was too loud. Parking lot was tight for larger vehicles. Although it is out of the owners control, the office staff were not pleasant when we were paying for parking.

Great place!

We really enjoyed our stay! The view from the patio was fantastic! The property was clean and well stocked with pretty much everything you would need. We have two young children so we really appreciated the short walk across the street to the beach. We were far enough away from the main pier and the heavily populated area to be able to enjoy the beach with less people, but still a very close drive. I thought the location overall was perfect. We enjoyed having Netflix access for after the kids fell asleep. We were slightly disappointed that there was not a TV in the master bedroom but it wasn't a huge deal. We would definitely stay here again!

Great Stay at The Dawn

This was our second time staying at "The Dawn" condos. We love the location and the views from the Gulf front units are outstanding! The property was neat and clean and as described in the listing and we appreciated the in-depth information that Yolanda was able to provide about our stay and Doc's Quarters unit. Our only complaint is that both pools, while very nice and large, were cloudy and very dirty during our stay. Typically they close the pools on Monday for cleaning, but we arrived Tuesday afternoon and the pools were noticeably cloudy. The kids still loved them!

The view from our balcony was stunning. Everything about the condo fit our needs. There was even a beach umbrella in the closet and a small ice chest for us to use so we didnt have to lug our big one around. The condo is on the 3rd floor with no elevator though. Which really wasnt a problem. We just werent expecting that.

About the host

Hosted by Yolanda

Host profile image
I am a retired nursing professor who taught at San Jacinto Community college for 32 years. I enjoy interacting with people and being helpful and I find that renting my beach homes/condos gives me that opportunity!

I grew up in Victoria, Texas, graduated from Victoria High School, attended Victoria Community College and received my bachelor's degree in Nursing from Dominician College in Houston, Texas. I have a Master’s Degree in Science (University of Houston; Clear Lake Campus) and a Master’s Degree in Nursing from the University of Texas Health Science Center.

I currently live in La Porte, Tx by the ocean that I love!

Why they chose this property

Our condo is close to all the attractions, One mile from Moody Gardens and Schlitterbahn. Our complex has 2 great swimming pools (one heated during cooler months and the second pool has a heated spa. You will also want to visit our 24-hour fitness center! There are community BBQ grills - One grill is near the larger swimming pool. We are also 1 mile from the Galveston Convention Center!

The management team has a full-time person to make sure the grounds are nicely kept, and the swimming pools are ready year-round.

Our guests who stay at our condos always want to return; I CAN'T SAY ANYTHING BETTER THAN THAT! Doc and I work hard to make our condos the perfect stay!

What makes this property unique

The ocean views are AMAZING and the spacious double sinks with the large, modern glass enclosed shower in the master bathroom is unique and not easily found in other condos! This condo is one of the larger square footages of the condos in the complex.

I have traveled extensively and stayed in many expensive hotels and resorts and this condo's ocean view and location is among the best! I only needed to bring the outside ocean beauty inside! Take the time to read our guest reviews written by some of the most gracious and wonderful people found in the United States!

I can't say enough about the great location - Schlitterbahn Water Park, Moody Gardens and the Galveston Convention Center are only 1 mile away.

AND the Strand Historic District for shopping is only 4 miles away! The Pleasure Pier is also close by. We are located at 7000 Seawall Blvd.

Very conveniently located! We strive to provide superior furnishings to make your stay a resort experience!
