My complaint about the communication was due to the fact that I asked if they had a hair dryer at the facility and was told "no and to bring one." I was flying and did not want to bring unnecessary items. They had two hair dryers in the location.... Do not know who is answering questions but someone should know something.... other than the one item, everything else was excellent.
Amazing as always!! There were a few small things needing fixed the last time we stayed at this specific condo, but they had made the fixes this time and all was good! Very clean, property was clean and beautiful!! Would definitely recommend staying here
Really enjoyed our stay. The place is right across from the beach. The apartment was clean and had a lot of included household items. TV’s worked fine, shower water pressure was therapeutic, and patio overlooking the pool was nice. Location is right next to the Walmart. Would definitely recommend and stay again.

Beautiful and spacious condo
The condo was beautiful, spacious, and very clean! It was right across from the beach. The pool was nice and not overcrowded! There was plenty of items in kitchen to cook meals if you wanted to. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay there again!
Couldn’t have asked for a better location! Beach on one side and Walmart on the other. Great restaurants decently close. Wish the pools were heated, they were colder than the ocean! Would stay here again!

Hi Emily,
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review and share your experience! We’re so happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay with us. You were the perfect guests, and we look forward to the next time!
If your looking for a great location, well decorated condo on the seawall, then The Dawn is the place to stay. The owner keeps the condo in tiptop shape and was great at communication. i would recommend this condo to any family.
This apartment was well decorated and provided a necessary supplies for our stay. The dishwasher doesn’t work very well, but beyond that, everything was great!

This was by far the best place that I have ever stayed! I’m so glad we decided to go with a condo instead of a hotel. The rooms were so quiet and peaceful. The whole condo is gorgeously decorated and includes all the amenities you need. I would highly recommend this gem to anyone!

Thank you. We are so happy you had a good time and enjoyed our place! Hope to see you again next summer!
This was one of the best experiences that I’ve had in a vacation home yet. They had everything we needed and then some. It was the cutest little beach home and my family loved it. I would recommend. 10stars.
This was our second time staying at the Dawn Condominiums, a different unit though. Location is great! It's right across the seawall, a short walk to the beach.. the 2 pools are great and pretty much always maintained. The condo was very clean, but did notice the a/c vents need to be cleaned, as well as a stand alone fan in the master closet. Everything was provided, but depending on the length of your .stay, you will need to buy additional paper towels, toilet paper, etc... My family of 4 was very happy with our trip .We would love to stay Anson!againarmed getaway. c........vent
