    The Dolphin at The Dawn Condominiums is a great little spot in Galveston. You are right by the pool, beach, Walmart, and numerous dining options are also within walkable distance. One could also use the Galveston trolley system for $1 per rider to go anywhere you want (ex: Pleasure Pier, Moddy's Resort, Downtown Galveston, etc). It picks up at numerous places right there on the main drag in front of condos (Seawall Blvd). We did not rent a car and we had zero issues accessing anything we wanted in the area. The property owner (Julie) is a wonderful host and also a great communicator. I had myself and four teenagers with me (3 boys/ 1 girl) My daughter stayed in the little closet bedroom so she had her little private area. The condo is clean, well equiped/furnished, safe, and having a washer and dryer was extremely helpful and convenient. We stayed for three days before our cruise and used Lyft XL for our short ride to the cruise port. The Dolphin is great and so is the woman who owns the place (Julie Skora). I believe she owns two properties at the Dawn if one is taken when you are looking to book. Just message her and she responds rapidly. Please also be aware the property will charge a $40 parking/amenities fee for 1 to 3 days and I believe its $50 if you stay 4 plus days. There are a couple nice pools, BBQ areas, and a clubhouse with a little gym to use. Great little place. Five stars from us. Thank you for having us Julie :)

    This property was very very clean. Loved all the decor of the place. Looked exactly like the pic. Will recommend it for anyone else traveling to the Galveston area.

    Everything was pleasant except half the parking lot being closed for roof repair. One of the pools that has the hot tub was closed. Other than that very happy with the stay and the property

    The convenience of the location, parking close, pool very close, and the ocean just a short walk away.

    The condo is super cute. The pic of the second bed is a little deceiving. I thought it was in a little nook or small room but it's actually the master bedroom closet. Even so, the condo was nice. The bedroom mattress is super hard. I still would recommend staying here. It overlooks a very nice pool and is close enough to the beach to walk.

    Loved the condo. Several little discoveries that made us smile from decorations to a little treasure chest with chocolate coins. Everything we needed was there. Only surprise was that the condo administrators require you to buy a one time 40 paying pass that covers the duration of your stay (this is not included in the VRBO cost). Something to plan for.But all in all we had a great time and would go back here. It’s great to be across the street from the beach.

    Wonderful location with everything we needed to relax and unwind. Clean and modern, master bed was comfortable too. Very close to the beach, and the pool onsite was only a few steps away. We will certainly be back!

    The property was clean, the condo was clean,beds was uncomfortable though. The 2 bedroom listed on the pictures was actually a large closet! I would never have rented this condo had I not thought it was a room. That was disappointing my mother was going to come buy did not have a place to sleep. Other than this we enjoyed the property and location. Very convenient to beach and pool.

    Loved the location, the condo, the host and the office people at The Dawn. The condo was well appointed for 2 and the grounds and pool were well kept. We had everything we needed and were very comfortable. The king bed was comfy too. That is rare in any rental. When I return to Galveston I will stay there again. Thank you Julie for having such a great place.

    This was our second time staying at the Dawn Condominiums, first time at the Dolphin. It was a great experience. The condo had everything we needed and the king bed was comfortable for us! The location of the condo is in between both pools and right across the street from Babe’s beach.
