We loved staying here!! The location was great and it wasn’t too crowded where we were. Walked right across the street to the beach and we loved the balcony beach view. Our condo had everything we needed and it was a cozy nice home away from home.

The property manager, Julie, did a great job of communicating with me. The place is clean a d has a beautiful view of the Ocean. Parking isn't cheap, but it's all fenced in, which is nice when you ride a motorcycle. I would definitely stay here again.

Perfect location

We had an amazing time at Mermaid Lookout! Absolutely zero complaints. The condo itself is beautiful with a great view and useful amenities. The location could not be any better in my opinion. The beach is a short 5-7 minute walk and you pass right by the pool coming and going! Close to restaurants, shopping and Walmart is right across the street. We definitely plan on returning in the future!

It was so much fun staying in this beautiful and clean beach condo. Julie has thought of everything to make the vacation relaxing… Beach towels, chairs, games, lots of phone charging outlets, Lots of Keurig coffee pods, the beach view from the balcony was wonderful. I wish my kids were with me on this trip as they would have loved the spiral staircase with beds in the loft upstairs. Just in case you miss the parking fee of 40 for 3 days or 50 if you stay longer can be purchased in building #2. Also make sure you find the condo before you walk all your luggage up the wrong green set of stairs like we did as there is no elevator. I highly recommend this condo with the very attentive owner Julie who is very quick to return messages. The 2 pools are clean and beautiful. I have more kind things to say especially that I am so thankful I found this rental because my vacation was better because of it. PS there are a lot of different codes to memorize so write them all down to keep them all straight: the car entry gate, home door, beach gate, exercise room, etc.

The house was clean and cute! We had everything we needed. Julie, our host, was easy to get a hold of and so helpful. It was right across from the beach. Beautiful view! And they had sand toys, boogie boards, and other beach things. That was really nice for our kids to play with. They also loved the fun spiral staircase to their own room upstairs. We would definitely stay here again!!

This is our 4th time staying at The Dawn. We usually have a great time. Different rentals each stay. This host was the beat so far. Very easy to communicate and get help/answers. The only issue with this stay was that there was a large gathering at the larger pool, which is where most people enjoy swimming, but the crown was loud and took made the relaxing environment we hoped for to be more stressful. Otherwise, the stay was great. Jody in the office was a delight.

Loved the mermaid lookout

We had a wonderful week at the Mermaid Lookout. Location is close to everything without feeling in the middle of it all. Easy access to the beach and the pools are great. Would love to stay here again. Our daughter loved the Mermaid theme and views from the Loft bedroom. Thank you for a wonderful vacation spot.

Overall Great Experience

The Condo was exactly as advertised and allowed my family to have a great weekend away. Walking distance to the beach and Wal-Mart across the street. Everything in the condo worked great, was clean and was comfortable. We would stay here again if we come back to Galveston.

I live in Galveston very close to The Dawn Condos. I lived in DFW area for almost 40 years before moving to Galveston.

Why they chose this property

Galveston is great for family vacations and getaways with all of the year round events. After looking at other beachfront complexes, The Dawn had the best amenities and condo floors plans. The grounds are very well maintained and the pools are great.

What makes this property unique

Great views and proximity to shopping, restaurants, activities.
