In the Dawn condominiums voted best condominium rental complex in Galveston 2023 & 2024 in the Galveston Best of the Island awards. The Houston Chronicle calls the Best of the Island Awards the "Oscars of the Gulf Coast". Come stay at the best!
Driftwood Dreams I, in the Dawn Condominium Complex, is a beautifully furnished 1 bedroom, 1 bath condo with great views of the Gulf from its second floor balcony. The master suite features a king size bed with luxury linens, soft comfortable pillows. The bath is all ceramic with walk in shower and custom glass door. Large soft towels are provided for your comfort. 40" HD TV in the Master Bedroom.

A 48" TV, basic cable and Blu-ray DVD player are available for your use. Adjacent to the living room is an exterior deck with unobstructed Gulf views and outdoor seating for 6. Benches convert to a picnic table. A great place for watching the waves roll in or a beautiful sunset.
