2 BR, Ground Floor Condo. Ocean & beach directly across the street

We offer a 10% discount for returning guests!

This ground floor condo is located at the Dawn Condos right across the street from the new beautiful sand beach on the Gulf of Mexico.
The condo offers two bedrooms (one en suite) , a lounge/dining area, a fully equipped kitchenette and a patio overlooking one of the two outdoor pools. It is next to Walmart and the most popular fishing pier with easy access to the roadway to Houston Texas.
In addition to the two pools there is a hot tub, BBQ grills and a fitness suite. This location is peaceful, beautifully maintained and "just a paradise".
Catch the Trolly in front on the condo complex and explore downtown Galveston.
Some of the attractions close by are the Moody Gardens amusement park and aquarium, Elissa museum, Historic Pleasure Pier, a wide variety of things to do and attractions to see down on the Strand.
Take a relaxing day looking for the trees carved into unique figures with an interesting history behind the reason for the trees and have fun for the kids to help spot these tree figures. You can also see the big cruise ships roll in. There are many great restaurants not to mention the freshest fish markets in town.
Galveston always has events on the island. Keep up with Galveston's website for the next upcoming event.
I want your stay and enjoyment to be the best it can be. If I can help with anything please let me know. I always appreciated when the host helped me on my travels with recommendations so I really want to return that favor.
The condo is fully furnished all you need is your clothes and food. I have recently updated the interior including a large smart tv in living room and smart TVs in bedrooms. New pictures coming soon!
Relax, have fun, and make all the memories you possibly can. God Bless.

Please Note: There is a fee $45+tax for parking. This is payable at the Main Office upon arrival.

Galveston

On Sunday evening, June 29th we stayed overnight at my family ranch outside of Dripping Springs, TX. Our dog went roaming around 10:00 p.m. and found a porcupine. Within two hours we were at the Emergency Vet Hospital and the Vet performed surgery to remove the quills. On Monday during the day we took our dog to our Vet and they removed more quills. We made a decision to cancel our reservations and care for our dog.

Excellent Stay!

We thoroughly enjoyed stay!! The beds were so comfy! The closet space is huge! Close enough to both pools. Very clean. Thankful for the in condo washer/dryer. We had a small problem with the electronics of the door, and the owner responded promptly and fixed it. Our only issue was the gate codes in the email you received are not correct. You need to get the correct ones from the office when you check in. Lots of beach towels were also a plus.

Wrong gate access code.

The gate code is not valid! That is an old code. We tried calling the number on the key pad panel but no answer. Finally had to drive to the office to get the correct code. In addition, the bedding in the second room (nearest the kitchen) was not clean. We had to wash the sheets. The property is very nice but I wanted you to know that it was not cleaned properly.
