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 OUR OTHER LISTINGS IN THE SAME COMPLEX: Need another 2-bedroom condo - VRBO.COM/244462 and VRBO.COM/489694 (first floor entry door is w/c accessible).

Do you prefer a more intimate get-away? I highly recommend our 1-bedroom condo (second floor) with its beautiful decor and its absolutely breathtaking view of the ocean from the balcony! VRBO.COM/913735ha

WANT A LUXURIOUS BEACH HOME INSTEAD?
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!

Condo was great, location was great. Checkout asks were too much too accomplish by 10:00 am.Asked for dishes to be washed and unloaded from dishwasher (tough to eat breakfast), towels to be washed and possibly dried, asked for floors to be swept for any sand and then left a tip jar for the cleaning crew.

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!
