    Beach was directly across the street… use crosswalk! Far enough from pier to be quiet at night. Close enough to everything to get there quick and have fun. Watch the sunset from the balcony. Not a fan of the shower.

    This property exceeded our expectations. In the past we have stayed solely at hotels. This has set the new bar for us. The gated community made us feel safe each night. The ability to choose to go swimming In the heated pool or at the beach which is about 200 feet away. Galveston has so much to offer. The free ferry to boulivar island, watching dolphins from pleasure pier. Seashells where ever you walk on the beach. Thank you for hosting us and we are all happy we chose to stay with you at driftwood dreams.

    The property was bright and clean, but ceramic tiles on the floor were loose. The bedroom fan had a thick coat of dust on top. We would not have taken the rental if we had known it was on the second floor. We had trouble getting our bags up and down the long stairs. We had a view of the ocean from our patio, which we liked.

    Perfect location! After enjoying a day on the beach or on the Strand it was great to relax on the balcony and hear the waves crashing on the Gulf. Great amenities and very clean, would definitely stay here again!

    Old and worn. Exterior of condo has not been maintained. Interior was only somewhat better. Shower was gross. Only one Keurig coffee pod was provided and no creamer. We have rented several places before in Galveston. We tried this one because it had more square footage. We will go back to our tried and true one next time.

    We were upgraded to a 2BR when th air conditioner failed in the first unit (prior to our arrival). Property owners provided good communications, with plenty of detail. We needed to get a parking pass from Dawn Condominiums management office. We were lucky enough to catch the office person on their way out. No complaints or complications. We ate takeout free Mel's Blue Plate dinner (it's counter in the gas station a couple blocks away. Highly recommend going there for shrimp and onion rings.

    The location near the seawall was great. The property is very well maintained and the staff in the office very helpful. The condo was exactly what was needed and very clean. Nice little balcony to view the gulf. Gated facilities and parking that is secure. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone interested in visiting Galveston. If we return we will definitely stay here. Thanks to all.
