This condo is on the 3rd floor and there are no elevators. However "The View at the Top is Always Worth the Climb!" Be prepared to take 2 flights of stairs to the front door. All reservations at The Dawn Condominiums require a parking fee per vehicle. The fee is $40 for the first 3 nights or $50 for 4 or more per car for parking upon arrival at The Dawn. When registering at The Dawn guests will receive their pool/gym bands (up to 10) and access codes for parking gates, walk-through gates and for the fitness center. Pool/gym bands should be returned to The Dawn prior to departure.
Guests with limited mobility should consider parking and stairs to access unit, as The Dawn does not have elevators.
Outside/exterior video security surveillance is present at this complex for the security of the home and our guests.
The only issue was there was a cracked toilet seat. Remotes weren't synchronized to tvs in bedrooms. Host never responded to us. Recommend bring your own fire sticks with a remote. Place is beautiful with great views.
Kitchen was spot on with everything needed. The view of the ocean was magnificent. The whole condo color scheme and bedding was marvelous. The master bathroom was gorgeous even though the jacuzzi jets didnt work and no hot water in the sinks still magnificent. All beds were comfortable and cozy. Even tho little things needed work i would definitely stay again.
Great place with room for the whole extended family. The only hitch we had was figuring out sleeping arrangements for all 10 people when we got there. When looking for the second 'twin' bed in one of the king size bedrooms (as advertised on the site), you get instead a twin size mattress pushed up along the side of the washer and dryer. This is entirely workable but it would've been nice to have a heads up and not have to go hunting for it.
We really enjoyed our recent visit to Galveston. Staying at the Violet Hour was okay but we did have multiple issues. For starters i did not know that we would be staying on the 3rd floor, that was a challenge seeing my wife had recent surgery.
The A/C filters were very dirty and we went to Walmart for new ones.
Multiple chairs were loose and broken.
The first night the freezer wasn't working our ice cream melted and we had to throw it away. Among other minor issues the property staff worked quickly to resolve all these issues. Since this condo is on the 3rd floor i am sure we won't be returning to this one in particular.
Host was pleasant and prompt with messages. Condo staff were friendly. Great location right across from the beach. Stairs got a little tiring when having to carry stuff up and down. The condo itself was a bit dated with fixtures falling apart. The kitchen had everything that would be needed. Didnât end up using the pool facilities but it looked nice enough.
The owners were great to work with and texted me back almost immediately with any questions. There were plenty of supplies that we needed and our beds were super comfortable
Great stay. Across street from Babe's Beach and nice view. First week of May...no one is there, the water is warm. We had restaurant reservations, but could have walked in anywhere. Recommend Houston Space Center for teens and older.
We had a wonderful stay, with adorable and unexpected perks.
First off, the condo was gorgeous.None of us wanted to leave. All of the girls were obsessed with the bath bombs and wanted to soak in that luxurious tub. The main room had the most amazing view, and we were able to watch the sunrise in bed.
The kitchen was fully stocked, and labeled so it was easy to find what we were looking for and they definitely had everything we were looking for in a kitchen.
There were great instructions for everything we needed on the trip. There were even menus for all of the local restaurants, which was helpful for on the go times we didnât want to cook.
We have decided that it is the perfect location, close to everything but far enough that the beach isnât crowded. We will absolutely be back for another trip.
Our hostess was so informative and organized and really made it all a smooth weekend.
