Perfect location for our family. The condo is so cute with a view of the pool and a little of the ocean. Everything was in working order and very clean. Thank you.
Maria M.Jul 2022
This was one of the most comfortable homes I’ve been in yet. They had almost everything we needed in the home. We were close to the beach and everything else we wanted to do. The swimming pools were amazing.
Cynthia J P.Jun 2022
The condo was clean and cool. The pools were nice, and we loved being so close to the beach.
Heather S.May 2022
Very clean
Beautiful furnishings
2 br plus sofa bed
Nice master bathroom
Enough linens for 3 beds
Ample cooking stock in the kitchen
It has a vacuum- Thank God ! Unlike other condos we have rented, it had a vacuum for any residual sand!!!
Streaming is available on the living room tv, cable in master bedroom
Close to condo pool & ocean
*Master bath needs a sink stopper. That was my least favorite thing, looking directly into the sink drain. It also needs some draino.
*Air fresheners would help with the normal natural beach mustiness
*Bring beach towels
*This condo is located right across the street from the Galveston Walmart and sits just off of Seawall with a gas station on the corner. It is a gated community and we did not have any issues at all while we visited. We have stayed at the Dawn twice now, this is the first time in this particular unit.

I think these condos were the nicest on the Seawall Blvd. The pools and hot tub were great and the ocean was right across the street. Very clean and a balcony overlooking the pool area with the ocean beyond.
Marsha S.Apr 2022
Condo was very nice in a gated secure property across from the ocean and next to the highway. We had a view of the pool and the ocean from our balcony. The place is on the second floor which is nice for the view but tricky getting large suitcases up the stairs.

This condo was the perfect spot for our family. The close proximity to the beach, pools and Walmart were so so wonderful. Aside from the geographic location, this condo was perfect for my family Easter break. My parents joined us so it was nice to have two rooms with two separate washrooms. The place was clean, in good working order and the beds were on the soft side so we were very comfy. The umbrella stroller, high chair and pack n play with the (infant insert) made it feel like home for our littlest traveler. All in all, we can’t wait to come back!

We love the Dawn condos, friends were staying here and we met up with them to explore the Seawall. We had a blast.
Steve M.Oct 2021
We had a very nice stay on the property. Turnkey was great and had wonderful communication.
The pack n play in the unit worked well for us, though was a little more slobbered on the rim than we would have liked for our 1 year old. The only disappointment was the lack of paper towel roll on our arrival. We left one for the next guests.
Overall, great stay.
We would stay here again.

Turnkey vacation rentals helped me find the perfect place for my family’s vacation! I rented a condo at The Dawn! A very nice condo with a ocean view and swimming pools in a gated community. We had a lot of privacy and could walk to the beach and all our festivities was without two miles of our condo! I would highly recommend Turnkey for anyone planning a vacation!

The condo is located in a great spot, just a few minutes walk and you’re on the beach. We had an ocean view which that enhanced mornings on the balcony. The layout of the condo was perfect, it gave the feel of plenty of room for parents and 4 kids. Everything was spotless when we arrived and the staff was helpful. I’d recommend it to anyone.

We had a great experience in our condo. Plenty of space for our family of 4. We were right next to the pool and not very far to walk to the beach. Everything was clean and had a fully stocked kitchen. We wished they had provided more towels and pillowcases, but other than that, it was great!

This condo is a great place to stay in Galveston
Pros: Very Clean Excellent location <5 minute walk to the beach Nice pools All necessary kitchen equipment Great shower in master! TV with Netflix and all basic cable channels Very nice deck with partial view of ocean Walmart right across the street
Cons: There wasn’t any hand soap provided. During a pandemic this is unacceptable. (I left a bottle for the next guests) The AC drips into the guest bath which is annoying You have to pay $30 for parking
Pro tip: make sure to pack your own body wash, detergent, coffee, and hand soap
We will stay here again if we come back this way. Overall it was a very nice condo and you can’t beat the location. My kids loved it!

This place was such a fun beachside stay! We live in the Woodlands, not far from Galveston, so we’ve been many times. Staying here made it feel more like a vacation than just another trip to the local beach. Great pools and beach views. The unit was perfect for us and our and our friends who split the unit with us with their two kids. The kids had so much fun at the pool and my little girl loved sitting on the brightly colored balcony outside.

The apartment was clean, well appointed and well situated. The dishwasher may need to be serviced. Perfect for our getaway. We may rent again someday.

This property is fantastic! It has our 3 top c’s in spades, clean, comfort, and convenience. There’s a nice view from the patio balcony of the pool and the ocean, The unit even has the little extras like bathroom soaps and shampoo and beach towels. We didn’t cook this stay but I did check. The kitchen is decked out with every thing you need to prepare meals. It’s quick across the street to the Seawall and the beach. There several restaurants, a convenience store, and a Walmart within walking distance. Just be informed that the property charges an extra $25 fee for parking and usage of the pool, hot tub, and other facilities (payable when you arrive).

Our stay was okay but I`m writing this review to let you know how it could have been `better`. First the good: the unit was comfortable, plenty of towels, cookware, etc and the location was great. It is close to the beach, stores, restaurants, etc. but far enough away from Seawall Blvd that you do not hear the traffic except for emergency vehicles with sirens. Now the not so good: we arrived after 7PM and the check in instructions had the wrong drive thru gate code. We had to wait to follow someone in and then I called the condo complex manager and got the correct code. She stated that she had sent the updated code via email to the owners vacation rental manager but they have continued to not update it. There were no sheets for the pull out sofa so we had to go WalMart and buy some. There was only one extra trash bag in the kitchen, no broom for sweeping anything (it said in the guest book that it was in the guest bedroom closet but it wasn`t), there was a strong stench of vomit and/or pet feces in the master bedroom closet so we just left that door closed (suggest cleaning or replacing that carpet or checking the baby bed items to see if they are stained). Overall it is a nice place and the complex is nice. There are a just a few things that would `improve` the stay (no salt and pepper shakers?? I`m not expecting a full spice cabinet or anything special but everywhere we`ve ever stayed in the past from condos, houses, to extended stay hotels had salt and pepper shakers) Overall, with the exception of the master closet smell, I can look past the rest of the items and deal with it. It did seem as if there was a lingering pet odor in the whole apartment.

The condo we rented was simply beautiful, very spacious, clean and a great location right across the street from the beach. My family and I will definitely be repeat renters for this property.

Our stay in this vacation rental was amazing! The owners thought of every single detail to make our stay comfortable, especially with having young children with us. It was clean, comfortable, and absolutely beautiful! I highly recommend this property for your stay!
