DDII: Heated Pool, Hot Tub, Easy Beach Access, Gulf view

HEATED POOL!

Beautiful Gulf view condo – Great location, year-round pools, TVs in both bedrooms, great amenities for the entire family!

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 II, in the Dawn Condominium Complex, is a beautifully furnished 2-bedroom, 2-bath condo with great views of the Gulf from its second floor balcony. The master suite features a king size bed with en-suite bath that is all ceramic with walk in shower and custom glass door. 40" HD TV in the Master Bedroom.

The second bedroom has a twin over twin bunk bed and a queen bed to sleep up to 2 adults + 2 kiddos.

Room configurations

• 2nd Bedroom: Queen bed + twin over twin bunk bed
• Hallway Bathroom: Tub/shower combo, toilet, single sink
• Living room: Queen sofa sleeper

The sunny living room features queen sleeper sofa, comfortable arm chairs and is well appointed to give you that "beach" charm. 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 the sunset .

The kitchen is fully stocked; smooth top electric stove, oven, microwave, coffee maker, garbage disposal, dishwasher, refrigerator with large freezer and pots and pans, silverware, glassware and dish place-settings.

Family Vacation

This was the perfect location for our family vacation. From the condo & amenities to the location, it was just what we wanted! We loved to walk the Seawall & our teens loved hanging by the pool! Places to visit, The Strand District, Pleasure Pier, The Spot & Katie’s Seafood! Jom & Monica were quick to answer any questions we had! We would definitely come back!
