From the second you step inside you are greeted with the colors of water and sky, and a view from the door across the living room straight to the Gulf of Mexico. "Spacious" does not do justice to the expanse of the condo - 2 bedrooms and 2 baths - with over 1100 square feet to spread out and enjoy. Just as the mermaid is a beautiful creature – Mermaids Retreat has been created beautifully for your vacationing pleasure in Galveston – with each detail considered and your comfort in mind. Just about everything is brand new in 2017 – from the décor to the owners to the customer service you will receive, to the spirit of the playful mermaid that resides within the walls of this condo. Visiting Galveston for one of the many competitive events hosted here? Cheer, dance, sports tournaments or conferences? Weddings, family reunions, class reunions, festivals, homes tours, or any other groups? Why squeeze into a tiny hotel room when your entire group could stay in their own condos and enjoy "together time" at the pools, hot tubs, etc. instead! Being in walking distance to a big box store makes shopping a breeze whether for food and beverage selections, beach necessities you may have forgotten, or souvenirs to remind you of your trip to the Texas gulf coast. The Dawn complex is located across from Babe’s Beach on Galveston’s Seawall – protected by traffic signals at both corners so you can safely walk across to the beach. There’s a huge big box store that starts with a W next door for all your shopping needs, and eateries in walking distance for sandwiches and BBQ. You will have exclusive use of the entire condo - and share the pools, hot tubs, fitness center, tennis court and grounds including BBQ pergolas, and all of the other outdoor spaces with other guests and residents of the Dawn condominium complex. The complex has 2 pools – at least one of which is heated in the seasons when God does not do this for us. There is a hot tub, a fitness center and picnic/BBQ areas. What's included: While we provide our guests with self check-in information and instructions, you can call us with any questions you may have at any time. You certainly COULD stay here without a car - you can walk to shopping, eateries and the beach, there is public transportation nearby, and there are several local and nationally "branded" taxi services as well as ride share (Uber, Lyft) programs in place as well as meal deliveries (UberEats, ASAP (formerly WAITR) and DoorDash available as well. We provide self check in instructions 24-72 hours prior to arrival - and when you are on vacation - YOU ARE ON VACATION. Should you need to reach us, however, we are but a phone call or email away and ready to assist you. We are happy to answer any questions at any time, but to ensure we give you the correct code we cannot provide access instructions earlier than this. Bed linens for all beds, one bath, hand and wash cloth for each guest that the unit welcomes. We do not provide beach/pool towels as when we did – they continuously went home with our guests. If you wish to “rent” beach towels from us – it is $25 for condos that accommodate up to 6 guests and $35 for condos that accommodate up to 8 guests. Which is only the additional cost of the laundering of them – labor time, laundry products, etc. We will need to have a credit card on file for this as if there are beach towels missing upon your departure, the charge is $25 per towel. We ask that our bath towels not be removed from the condo and taken to the beach or pool. They can get damaged or lost. Starter supplies: 2 rolls of 2-ply, quilted toilet paper, a roll of paper towels, a dishwasher tablet, small dishwashing liquid, sponge, 2 small soaps, 2 small shampoos, trash bag, and coffee including sweeteners, stir sticks, powdered creamer to make that first pot. These are intended to get you started while you make your list and decide where to shop (there is a WalMart, Kroger, Randall's, Arlan's and Target on the island, as well as many mom & pop grocery stores. The Dawn condominium complex is located on Seawall Boulevard with protected (traffic signal) crossing at the corner for ease of getting to the beach. You will be close to shopping and eateries - so whether you plan to experience Galveston's culinary adventures or save money by cooking in (some or all of your meals) it's convenient from this central Seawall Boulevard Location. The Dawn condominium complex – like almost every condominium complex and hotel in Galveston, charges a parking/resort/amenity fees. This is not a charge from My Galveston Getaway and is paid directly to the complex upon your arrival. They will issue a parking permit and may issue wristbands that identify guests who are authorized at the complex. They will also provide guests with the codes for the gates to enter the property - both drive-through and walk through, pools, and fitness center The charge is $40 per vehicle for stays of 1-3 nights, and $50 per vehicle for stays of 4 nights and loner. We are unable to collect this in advance and pay it to the Dawn on your behalf. We don’t get to make the rules, we just play by them! Many of our owners have switched out to “Smart” TV’s – so bring your login information with you to sign in to your own subscription services, and don’t forget to log-out before leaving. The Dawn complex does not allow renters to have a pet – so if you travel with Fido or Fifi – please check out the other My Galveston Getaway managed properties that ARE dog friendly. While true service animals are an exception – you very well may be asked by the complex to provide the verification. For short term rental/vacation purposes – emotional support animals are not considered true support animals and we are unable to make exceptions to a rule that is in place and enforced by a complex in which we manage condos. Kindly be respectful. We strive for 5 star reviews at all times - and the first part of that is notifying everyone of every cost they may incur so that there are no surprises. If during your stay with us you find any reason that you are not able to rate our service and the property a 5 star review based upon the description of the property, that the pictures accurately depict the property, or our courteous service - please let us know and give us the opportunity to turn that frown upside down and EARN your 5 star review. All properties managed by My Galveston Getaway are 100% non-smoking/non-vaping properties. After making your reservation you will receive a link to complete our renters agreement. The only information we request differently than the booking platforms (VRBO/AirBnB) is your personal email address, the names and ages of each person who will be in the property during your stay, and your driver’s license information as well as an emergency contact should we need to reach someone on your behalf. Thank you for completing this in a timely manner so that we may send you the check-in instructions for the property you have reserved. Galveston is a barrier island located in the Gulf of Mexico. The island is susceptible to rainstorms, thunderstorms and even a hurricane now and then. Sometimes these result in temporary power and WiFi outages. We strongly encourage our renters to consider purchasing trip interruption/cancellation protection either through the platform that you book through or some other source. My Galveston Getaway issues refunds if a governmental official issues a mandatory evacuation of the island. Unfortunately we are unable to control sunshine, temperatures and mosquitos and do not refund other than pursuant to our policy based on evacuation orders. Thank you for understanding. Again – the parking/resort/amenities/facilities fee is one charged by the condominium complex, not by the owner of the condo or My Galveston Getaway and we appreciate your understanding. We look forward to having you as our guest – and to reading your 5 star review! For all reservations made directly through our website and through VRBO, there is a $300 security deposit “hold” required. You certainly can purchase trip cancellation/interruption coverage through those platforms as well if you so desire, this is a damage “deposit” hold. This is released once our housekeepers advise that the property has been left in the condition received with no damages occurring during your stay. This is not a charge, but a hold on the credit card on file with which the reservation is made. Should there be damages and they exceed $300 to repair or replace, you will be notified and asked to make arrangements to compensate for those items. We look forward to reading your 5 star review - and EARNING it! ## Property amenities ### Beach - On the beach ### Pool/Spa - Communal pool - Heated pool - Hot tub ### Internet - Available in the condo: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Car recommended - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Ice maker - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided - Sofa bed ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room ### Entertainment - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - Near a health/beauty spa - Near a hospital - Near the bay - Near the marina - Near the ocean - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Gym - Heated pool - Water park - Birdwatching nearby - Cycling nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Ice skating nearby - Jet skiing nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Sailing nearby - Surfing/bodyboarding nearby - Swimming nearby - Theme park nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Property located in a resort - Unit size: 1,167 square feet ## Similar properties ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/77000000/76490000/76487600/76487501/da447daf.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Vitamin Sea @ The Dawn, Beach front 2 BR Condo Near West End - Ocean view - Pool - Hot tub - Kitchen 9.6 Exceptional 30 reviews CA $112 CA $529 total includes taxes & fees Dec 1 - Dec 2 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-01&endDate=2025-12-02&selected=76487501&PinnedHotelID=76487501&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor pool, a heated pool](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/24000000/23560000/23557700/23557612/dd75a110.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 2 BR, Ground Floor Condo.

Great view. 2 separate king rooms! 1st off, I really appreciate that there were 2 separate rooms with king size beds, one with a master bath, and the other close to the guest bath. I’m allergic to feathers and other than 2 small feather pillows on the leather couch (which my family moved to a closer for me), it was feathers free! Nicely in a gated area and close to everything we needed, with an actual ocean view. Just so you know, there IS a lot of road noise when the windows or back door is open, but that seems pretty common for Galveston because the main road is between most properties and the beach. The management team was responsive and welcoming. The kitchen, laundry, and bathrooms all worked well and were clean. Overall it is a great place to stay! Oh- it is a second story with no elevator, so just be sure that works for you, but all long as it does- you should totally stay here! ##### Shauna A. Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Amy M. May 27, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great place on the Beach! Overall, we loved the place and had a great time in Galveston Island. The check in process was a little clunky, office is difficult to find. My recommendation to make it an even better experience would be to stock a few basics for the kitchen (salt/pepper, PAM, etc). These are just a hassle to purchase and have a long shelf life. With this unit being across from the beach, some chairs and maybe a cooler to use would be nice too. Overall, would recommend to others! ##### Amy M.

Mar 28, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Nice family vacation I liked that this property was across from the beach. Cute decorations and moderately comfortable. Great pool! Although we liked it ok I would not highly recommend it or stay there again myself. If you do stay here come prepared with everything you will need from salt to soap, coffee filters, extra dishwasher pods (only one given), your own pillows and blankets. If you like it cooler especially in the summer months this place is not for you. You are not allowed to have the ac below 72 and may come home to find it has been turned off or adjusted much hotter. I have just stayed at many other places that are much more accommodating. ##### Tina B. Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Jane H. Jun 10, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Ocean View, best for adults Condo was well furnished but not so kid-friendly (glass top tables, no kids dishes etc). Kitchen was well-equipped except for very few drinking glasses. It was great to be able to walk directly across the street to the beach even though heavy traffic was a noisy obstacle. We wish the information binder in the condo was more informative: how to work TV remotes; codes for pedestrian gates; pool rules; information on local attractions and menus) Rental managers responded quickly to 2 problems: garbage disposal not working, and washing machine not filling.

As previous renters mentioned the cleaning crew is slacking. I could have saved the cleaning fee and had that place shiny and new in 1.5 hrs. Communication was excellent with property managers. Did have to spend day out of condo due to notification of repair workers coming to fix the sliding glass door (which had a sign saying don't use or basically delicately lift)...repair never happened, don't know why. Told it was reacheduled for Tues. First night heat went to 81 after 11:30pm so that was not a good night of sleep. When I notified the property manager the next day and asked for the owners change that to 74 they did. All in all a nice place - reasonable fee for parking/pool access to a very nice pool that we skipped due to C19. ##### Gail C. Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Allison T.

There is a new process for getting your passes. It’s very easy but sharing so those of us that are repeat renters, it’s good to know. The view was awesome from our balcony. However, I didn’t realized the increased level of noice that would bring. All good though, we were at the Rally for that very reason. Beautiful condo, we would come back to this one again for sure. The location is perfect, just far enough to be away from all the craziness of the Rally but close enough to enjoy and return safely. ##### Patty S.

There was quite a bit of sand on the floors and bathrooms. ##### Teresa M.

The condo itself was very comfortable! A little hot for our taste but it was hot outside so really no way around it :)! It was spotless when we arrived and such a comfortable stay! Parking was easy! The pools were so fun! And it was beachfront which was a surprise!! No complaints at all for our stay here and will stay here again for sure!! ##### Alisha Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Josh P.

Aug 30, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, location Disliked: Check-in, communication #### Will not go through Galveston getaway management again Brian with Galveston Getaway is beyond rude. I will never rent through this company again. Was never informed of a parking fee even though I had my trip booked for months. When I spoke to the management company, I was treated so rudely and kept being told I was informed of the parking fee when in fact I was never told. Took me arguing back and forth with Brian and listening to him whisper how much of a b word I am while this situation was sorted out. Disgusting. The lack of customer service is beyond and I will be sure to advise family and friends to find another rental company with better manners and communication about ALL fees for renting this property. ##### Kelsey F.

Best condo that we've ever rented by far. Cleanliness, decor, the view and location, absolutely perfect! I have 2 remarks, 1. I wish there were an option for a chain lock on the door as my toddler who loves to get into everything, was able to easily walk out of the front door. Thus, having to keep the recliner against the door for his safety and our sanity lol. 2. The pull out sofa wasnt like sleeping on a cloud by any means, it was an average sofa bed. Not super comfortable but definitely tolerable. We will definitely rent this gem again. ##### Dominique R. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cassandra A.

May 6, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful, sparsely stocked The condo is lovely and spacious, and the view is stunning. The washer and dryer on site were really convenient. The sofa bed was comfortable for our daughter. The King beds were also comfortable for us and our sons. We did think the pillows were really uncomfortable. There is also a very limited stock of everything...one dishwasher pac for our whole stay, two small packs of coffee, thin blankets on the beds and no extra blankets or pillows at all. ##### shaun s.
