Immerse yourself in the beauty of the Texas Gulf Coast at this Galveston condo, a perfectly located escape with majestic views of the Gulf of Mexico, community amenities that include two swimming pools and a hot tub, and beach access right across the street!

This third-floor condo is located on Seawall Boulevard, offering incredible views of (and direct access to) the azure Gulf of Mexico across the road. Take a sunrise stroll on the beach each morning, treat your kids to afternoons at Moody Gardens and Schlitterbahn Water Park two miles north, and spend your evenings exploring the Strand Historic District and the Postoffice Arts and Entertainment District five miles east.

Step inside to find an open, loft-style living space. Separate sleeping loft with twin beds in addition to the King and sleeper sofa with two-story ceilings, and sliding glass doors that open to the Gulf view balcony. Stock up on groceries at the Walmart Supercenter one block east, use the stainless steel appliances in the kitchen to whip up appetizers and meals, and bring your dessert outside to the balcony for a breathtaking sunset view.

Wake up each morning to work out in the 24-hour fitness center or maybe a run along the seawall for some views. Back at the condo, you can grab your bathing suit from the private washer/dryer, head downstairs to one of the two pristine pools, and soothe your tired muscles in the shared hot tub. If you've booked a deep-sea fishing charter for the day, you'll even find community charcoal grills on the grounds and three cable TVs in the condo for after-dinner movies, or simply relax by streaming your favorite music via the free WiFi.

Come and enjoy the vacation you never knew you needed - book your stay at this Galveston condo today!

Great space and location.

We had a great view of the ocean from the balcony which we really enjoyed. Rented this for a girls trip (just 2 of us), we wanted more space than a hotel room and this was perfect. The only down side is the 2 smaller beds are in the loft area up a spiral staircase with no bathroom, however, I figured that based on the photos. Over all it fit our needs perfectly, wish it would have been warm enough to enjoy the 2 beautiful pools.

Nice area, condo could use some work , but had everything we needed. Area is clean and safe. Busy road out front but near a stoplight for easy crossing. Pool advertised as heated, but both pools were cold so not sure which was supposed to be heated

Great location/View

Spent 5 nights here and love the location - close to everything and the amenities are very nice. Only downside was there had been maintenance working repairing the bathroom ceiling and left their mess which should have been cleaned up before our arrival - didn’t like having to sweep and mop floors as soon as we arrived. Vacasa was very quick to help us with the door code and replying about the mess the maintenance fold made.

Great spot!

We loved the Break of Dawn for our weekend trip to the coast! The house was clean, exactly as advertised, and across the street from the beach! Many times we talked to the corner store or Walmart to grab a few things before relaxing by the water. Amazing location! The office staff was great, the pools looked inviting, and parking was no problem. The unit had everything we needed and no complaints. There were a few minor things- cracked bathroom tiles, minor musty smell, creaking bed, but nothing that would prevent us from staying there again. The kids LOVED the spiral staircase and beds in the loft and we took advantage of the balcony as much as possible. Overall, it was everything we wanted and at a great price!

Disgusting!!!

Don't give this owner any of your money. This unit was disgusting. Mold and other things on the shower curtain, mold and rust on the air vents, cracked and loose tile on the floor just to name a few things.... We have stayed at The Dawn Condos several times and love the property. Just don't stay in this unit!!!

Adequate

Unit was adequate but could use some updating. Although we got our “codes” in advance, the code to enter the condo didn’t work – took a phone call and four more code tries to get in. AC great, TVs and appliances worked. Excellent view from balcony. Lots of dishes, but very limited flatware. No can opener, hot pads, laundry supplies or closet hangers. Lots of stairs and soft mattress. Couch was “tired” and uncomfortable. We have stayed many times in other units at the Dawn. This Condo was less expensive – helping to make up for the shortcomings.

Easter Beach Weekend

The location of the condo was great. The views were amazing. However, this condo needs some updating. I agree with the reviews I read that a deep cleaning is needed. Blinds were very dusty and lots of mildew around the vents. The carpet needs replaced. Also, the dishwasher didn’t work. The third level didn’t bother us, but I could see how it would be difficult getting your items to the 3rd floor for some folks. All in all, the place was just ok. We spent most of our time at the beach so it served its purpose.

Nice place with work in progress

We arrived around midnight and had trouble getting in like previous reviews stated. Passcode didn’t work. Customer service answered our phone call right away but attempt at multiple passcode changes didn’t help. Eventually we had to get the key out of the lock box and it was our only key for the duration of our stay. Great location, apartment is nice but in need of repairs. Repair and paint materials were found in the closet, so we can say that it’s work in progress.

It was ok

It took us 1 hour to get into the property because the codes they sent us did not work. After an hour of waiting outside we finally got a code that worked. When we walked in the floors were sticky and just not clean looking. For what I paid for just wasn’t it in my opinion.

It was okay

First the cleanliness of this condo was not to my standards. The dishes, cups and utensils had dried food all over it. Everything I used had to be washed first. Also the dishwasher was gross and full of food. When I opened it a bunch of gnats flew out. The master bed was like sleeping in a soft hole. I could tell that this mattress at one time was very nice, however it needs to be replaced. Also in the master bedroom the blinds were broken and there was no curtains. The sunrises on that side so at 6 am it was super bright. The view was awesome. Overall we had a great time. There are a few things that need to be fixed but I would stay here again if the cleaning issue was taken care of.

Unit needs some love

View was terrific. Unit needs work. Kitchen is limited with no can opener, no hot pads, limited silverware, no blender lid, scummy shower curtain liner, poor lighting throughout. Bed terribly soft. Check in process was not good. Couldn't get in. Carpets need cleaning. Area is fun to explore. Clients should know that they need to provide all their own household essentials like toilet paper, trash bags and dishwasher tabs, etc.

Beautiful View Hard To Sleep

We absolutely loved the location. The view was amazing from the balcony and bedroom window. However, being right on Seawall Blvd, trying to sleep was impossible. I woke up repeatedly all night and early every day due to loud vehicles. The remotes for TVs were dead, had to find batteries. Never found how to stream any TV to Netflix or Amazon like it said, we used laptop. The maintenance needs serious work. Mold on vents, vent in bedroom was falling out and covered in mold. Bed was a rock and difficult to sleep. Pool was amazing, hot tub and amenities were superb. Overall stay was worth the money, just needs repairs and updates.

Management took forever to get us in the unit

When we got there the door code did not work. Went through at least 3 different codes and @ 2 hours standing out in the heat before a local manager who was actually on vacation was able to get us in. Was very different response in the response time and lack of concern about getting us in, in a timely manner!

Bad experience

Ac was not working when we arrived, things happen, I get that. We were given instructions for a possible reset, which we tried unsuccessfully. We were also told it was our fault for arriving after 3pm which is insane since earliest check in was 4pm. It just went downhill from there. Would not recommend, it was nothing like the photos. Furnished completely differently and not in a positive way. I've never given a poor review but this experience was beyond bad.

It’s older than you think

From the looks of the pictures , you’d be happy to stay here. Unfortunately, as soon as you walk in - it smells like a camp. Smells old and has an odor. But I thought I could get past that. The bathroom smelled like a bathroom - not fresh and clean . Smelled like urine . As our stay continues , we continue to be disappointed. There was no linens for the pull out sofa. The amount of stains on the sofa bed was aweful. When I asked for linens , they declined. Most of the dishes were not clean.they did not provide adequate cooking supplies that a normal condo would. The hot water heater is extremely small.do not expect to take a bath in a warm tub as the hot water runs out - also there is no stopper the tub for the water. The icing on the cake for my family , the a/c would kick off and turn to 74 in the middleOf the night. We would wake up sweating . When I message the host they told me sorry they do that to control energy . I have never heard of this - never paid for a residence and they control the ac . I understand that some residents have pest and insects- but this room has roaches . So overall I wouldn’t recommend or stay here again

GREAT PLACE BUT HORRIBLE CHECK IN EXPERIENCE

THE CONDO WAS GREAT, HAD A BEAUTIFUL VIEW AND HAD EVERYTHING WE NEEDED EXCEPT ENOUGH TOILET PAPER. NO BIG DEAL WE JUST GRABBED MORE THE DAY AFTER CHECKING IN. THE CHECK IN WAS AWFUL WE ARRIVED LATER THAN WE HAD HOPED SO WE HAD FUSSY KIDS AND AN EXHAUSTED 1 YEAR OLD FROM THE 4 HOUR CAR RIDE. WHEN WE GOT TO THE DOOR OUR DOOR CODE DID NOT WORK. AFTER SEVERAL TRIPS BACK TO THE OFFICE (WE WERE ON THE THIRD FLOOR WITH NO ELEVATOR) THE PROPERTY MANAGER CAME UP TO CONFIRM WE COULDN'T GET IN. HE FINALLY REACHED THE OWNER BY PHONE AND HAD THEM CALL VACASA WHO THEN CALLED US BUT IT ALL TOOK AN HOUR AND A HALF. BY THE TIME WE GOT IN OUR ROOM IT WAS ALMOST 10 P.M. IT DEFINITELY TOOK AWAY FROM THE EXCITEMENT OF ARRIVING.
