My family took a short weekend trip to Galveston and stayed in this Dawn Condo.
Location: We liked the location for the convenience of the beach right across the street and a sidewalk right there. Walmart next door was a plus for us with 2 kids under 3, we could pick up anything we forgot and also grab some groceries. There is also a Randall's and Kroger within walking distance. We were not happy about there not being any local food places nearby, but there were some chains. Lastly, there were a few homeless people sleeping/hanging around the gas station next door.
Check in was super easy even though we didnt arrive until about 8pm. All codes were provided to us before we arrived so we were not delayed getting into the condo.
Cleanliness:
The rental was decently clean upon arrival, however as we stayed we noticed a few areas that have not been taken care of.
1. The fans (celing and floor) are super dusty and unless you want allergy problems I don't suggest using them until they are cleaned.
2. Under the beds and dressers have not been cleaned. My 2 year old found a flaming hot Cheeto under the 2nd bed along with other things, in the Main bedroon there were things I did not reach for as well as a receipt from April 2021( we went in Oct. 2021...)
3. There are tiny bugs in the main bedroom bath along the molding.
4. Upon arrival and anytime we were out for a while and came back, the condo smelled very musty. Not a pleasant smell on vacation.
5. The dishes all had water spots on them I assume from the dishwasher, but I washed all the ones we used by hand before use just in case. They just didn't seem clean to me.
Accuracy:
For the most part the listing was accurate. This condo is updated, it had most of everything advertised and more. We were disappointed to only find 1 beach towel in a basket our 1st day there, luckily I brought the kid's from home. It wasn't until I was cleaning up to leave that I found 2 more under the sink in the bathroom. (Still for a place to sleep 6, there need to be more beach towels) What attacted me to this listing was the pack & play and beach toys already in the condo. There is a pack & play (bring your own sheet) it could also use a good scrubbing. As far as beach toys, there is 1 small bucket and a wagon type toy. :( Both kids fought over the bucket & Walmart doesn't sell beach toys in Oct. There is 1 sippy cup, high chair & spoons
Overall, I'd stay here again but would love if more attention was given to cleaning
