Beautiful condo and great location

We had a wonderful spring break here. The condo looks just like the photos, if not better. It was easy to navigate the property and the access to the beach didn't involve crossing the street or stairs, which is important to me with kids and a cart full of beach stuff. Loads of good food nearby too. Would stay again!

Thanksgiving Fun!

Our family of 17 stayed at Diamond Beach Resort (in multiple condos) over Thanksgiving week. The resort was wonderful and everyone was so helpful. We enjoyed the hot tubs, private theater, game room, gym, etc. The condo itself was well stocked with everything we needed and was very comfortable. We’re already talking about coming back next year! Thanks for allowing us to use your beautiful place!

Accessible and comfortable condo

We had a great experience here! Loved the location, the development’s amenities and the condo itself, which was clean, modern and had everything we needed. Our son was recovering from a major surgery and in a wheelchair and walker, and the unit was accessible for him. We would definitely rent it again!

Great for families!

Condo was great. We even had an issue with the AC and the owner had someone out to fix very quickly. Pool and lazy river were a real joy. We even scrapped our Schliterbahn plans since we were just happy with the amenities at Diamond Beach.

Great family place

We had a great time. The property has a great pool and lazy river which our kids (and us) enjoyed. Also steps to the beach. Great location if you want to experience Galveston. Close enough drive to stories, restaurants, and the Strand. Our host was super responsive and helpful too.

Smelled like cigarettes

The entire condo smelled like cigarettes. There was mildew in the master shower that was flaking off, as I showered.? A pair of little boy underwear covered in cobwebs was behind the chest of drawers.? We found them because we were trying to use the plug. Dust shakes from the lamps when you turn them on, because they were covered in dust. There is a deflated, dirty float between the headboard of the master bed and the wall. Found it because I was using the plug. It's still there. I love Diamond Beach. We have been 4 times, but it matters which condo you get. This one cost as much or more than the other one we have rented and loved, but it was already booked. This one is not even in the same class. To pay that much, it at least needs to be clean, and not smell like cigarettes.

About the host

I relocated to the Houston area from the UK in 2005, and always enjoy visiting Galveston. Decided to purchase this beautiful condo so our family could enjoy this "Diamond Retreat" at Diamond Beach resort. While we are not enjoying it, I hope you and your family can enjoy it too!
