Building was beautiful but…

We had to call the property manager almost every day cause the air conditioner was not working even though they reported they installed a new unit our second day in the condo. Also the dryer was not functional and was packed with lint which prevented it from drying clothing and that was a must have for us when we booked this condo. The property manager’s solution was to go to a local laundry mat and they would reimburse us for the cost of the laundry mat. We would definitely stay at this building again but not in this unit.

Great location. Ok unit. Minimalist host

Best location with access to great resort amenities and beach. Great views. The unit is ok but suffers from serious lack of night stands / side tables (we ended up putting our stuff on floor). Bed in master bedroom is a shame (looks like sofa than true bed, very low snd soft mattress). It very obvious that host is trying to save as much money as possible which degrades experience: the fridge was turned on the day of our check in and never told us. It took unit next morning to be properly cool and we ended up throwing so much food and rebuy everything. There is minimal supplies in terms of shampoo, hand soap, towels, etc. They also had the check out time discrepant between my rental agreement and their website and I had to alter my plans. I would be willing to come to diamond beach again but hesitant to use same host unless they improve their hosting process.

Girl trip

It is a great area, close to restaurants and a short walk to the beach. The landscaping and pools in great shape after the recent hurricane. The lazy river was a lot of fun. The condo could have been cleaner and better stocked with towels. Only one wine glass? I would stay at the resort again but in a different condo.

Great amenities great view

We enjoyed our stay here, first time in the area. Having to work through both, the VRBO and managers portal was cumbersome. Also, the amount of information they requested, and the amount of communication was a bit much. However, they were highly responsive and respectful. The property was dated, but accurate to the pictures. Can’t beat the penthouse, and the amenities of the building or fantastic.

Room with a view

Beautiful property in a great location. The overall facility has great amenties including pools, lazy river, game room, workout room and close to the beach. Close to a variety of shops, restaurants, piers and right on the seawall for miles of biking or walking. Only downside was the condo had no basic supplies such as salt, pepper, spices, coffee filters, kleenex, beach towels or the common items typically found in a vrbo.

Awesome view! Nicely equipped kitchen! Very quiet and private! My only adjustment—I love lamps—prefer them to overhead lighting. There were no lamps, not even bedside lamps! Otherwise, all was very nice—we will look forward to a return trip!

Great property! Condo was satisfactory.

The location is amazing and the property amenities are awesome, especially the pools, lazy river, arcade room, and the gym. The proximity to the beach and the Seawall make it very easy to enjoy time on the beach or local Galveston restaurants and attractions. There were two things about the individual condo that were unfavorable. While the condo itself was clean, the balcony was not clean or well kept. The balcony needs a lot of improvement which was disappointing because the view really is amazing and we would have spent more time there otherwise. The kitchen had awesome appliances but was missing quite a few essentials for cooking such as baking sheet, mixing bowls, whisk, wine bottle opener, and glasses (only 1 wine glass and 3 water glasses but tons of coffee mugs).

Stunning condo!

We loved our time in this condo. The resort itself is fabulous. Very relaxing, wonderful amenities, and lovely views of the Gulf. The condo is beautifully decorated and we loved the layout. Furnishings are comfortable and very pretty. The kitchen is fairly well equipped for simple cooking. The terrace is the best with comfortable chaise lounges and a high-top table and chairs, and sweeping views of the beautiful pool area and the Gulf. Everything you need for a lovely, relaxing vacation is right here! We’ll be back!

Condo with a gorgeous view

It was a delight to sit on the balcony and watch the pelicans fly by and the ocean waves. The condo was clean and bright, and we had a great family vacation. The grounds of the complex are beautiful. The only negatives for us were: - no indoor space for the family to sit down to a meal (there was a table on the balcony, but it was a bit cold and windy for the kids at breakfast time out there. Inside, there were only 2 stools at the countertop for eating) - no place at the entrance for coats and shoes - creepy naked mermaid mural in the living room (but hey, to each their own)

Tropical storm didn’t stop us!

Imelda brought non-stop rain the entire 3 days of our stay, however we had a great time regardless! The condo was beautiful, warm and cozy during the inclement weather with amazing panoramic views of the storms rolling in off the coast. We very much enjoyed the indoor swimming pool and game lounge, and even got out to the hot tub in the rain! My husband and I slept in the guest room and let grandma and our little girls have the GORGEOUS master sweet. The twin beds were comfortable and the guest bath very nice.. we were not disappointed! We have vacationed at Diamond Beach before but this was by far our favorite condo! Can’t wait to come back next summer!

Diamond Beach 708

Overall the property was quite nice. Upon check-in I did note and called Ryson regarding a few issues. The towel ring in the Master Bath was not connected and the ring came off with the towel; found the back panel of the remote for the lights and ceiling fan in the Master Bedroom...but the remote itself was nowhere to be found; the second bath needs a new flush element...it worked part time. As of today 7/28/23, no maintenance was performed. TKS, Paul Piche

Not happy

I’m covered in bites. I didn’t go to the beach so it’s not sand fleas. The icemaker didn’t work. The fridge barely kept our drinks cold. The balcony and outside furniture were covered in bird crap. You could barely see through the glass railing there was so much bird crap on it. There were only 2 towels in the linen closet in each bathroom. We found 2 more towels in a drawer as we were making sure we didn’t leave anything when we left. Not sure why they were not with the other towels. No laundry supplies. There was no communication with the owners. We stay at Diamondbeach 4 or 5 times a year and this condo was very disappointing.

PH708

The view was phenomenal! Our biggest complaint is that the beds were not comfortable. The king bed in master is very low and hard to get in and out of. The twin beds in the 2nd bedroom were not comfortable. Our adult daughter finally decided to sleep on the sofa bed in the living room. The second bedroom didn’t have a lamp and the fan and light were set together and on high so it was not usable. There was not hot water the whole week. The kitchen could have been better equipped with a salad bowl. We love the property at Diamond Beach so much I can’t help but give our stay 4 stars.

Great place, rude resort staff

Lovely place, well appointed. Internet and tv sporadically worked, but not much care given to that as we were on vacation. The only issue was with property staff, none with the unit. There was a man with an English accent that was horribly rude! There were less than 8 people total poolside and he approached us very aggressively wanting to know what unit we were staying in and where our wrist bands were. I told him the unit and we had our bands, just did not have them on. He sat and watched us from a distance and appeared to take a picture of us with his phone. Less than 5 minutes later I got a call saying there was a leak in the room below me and maintenance would be going in my room. Of course, I went to the room and “maintenance” was the same creepy English man and another desk clerk. No leak was found but they went into every room of my unit. They also left the master key in our door that I had to return to the desk. This man made us feel so uncomfortable we did not use the pool area again. Not sure I would stay here again based ONLY on resort staff that in no means reflects the unit owners.

Spring Break Getaway

We've stayed at this property before in another unit a couple of years ago and loved it. The pools, lazy river, hot tubs, etc were all great. Front desk was great. This unit was ok. We were a bit underwhelmed. I tried reaching out to the management team twice before my stay and received no response. The apartment was just missing things. No coffee filters, no kitchen sink sponge or rag, no mixing / serving bowls, scissors that didn't work, it all seemed to be the absolute bare minimum. The master bedroom had glass sliding doors on entire wall which means people in the living room can see and hear anything in the master. Light shines straight in because there's no curtains in the living room. Anyone sleeping in the living room has the same. Awake at 7 am with bright light shining in. There were no lamps in the living room. None. Master bed was only a foot off the floor and the mattress was so soft you had to push up to get out. The multiple cords from the TV hung down across the fireplace. No end tables. Very few outlets to plug in devices. No USB outlets, at all. There was a mermaid picture above the fireplace that was just a bit awkward. Things like this. All small things but they add up. The owners need to take some time out to look at their property and ensure the management team is keeping it current. We will stay at Diamond Beach again. We will not stay at this unit again.

Beware of ryson properties

Condo was as described and worked well enough for us, but a few things to consider. We had 2 units both through ryson and the other one had ants. Nothing was addressed during our stay. I kept getting sent to voicemail and it took five calls until someone was nice enough to stay on the line and get me someone to talk to rather than just transferring me to VM. We went for a weekend with our infant son so we weren't worried about the second bedroom (although it would have been nice if the light/fan control worked - we could only flip the switch and had no light and fan on high as another reviewer posted). There are no curtains or blinds so the glass doors so the master let in a lot of light in the morning. not good if you like to sleep in. And there are no rugs or anything to dampen sound so having an infant asleep in a separate room was still a challenge with noise. Apparently if you make special request through vrbo, it doesnt get to Ryson. We asked for a crib and then friday at 4pm they couldn't get me one because the people who do that were already gone for the weekend. I was told they dont often see requests if they aren't booked directly thru their site. I got a call from maintenance at noon on sunday as we were checking out. The on site folks cant do anything. The place was nice enough but the cleaning was pretty bad. You couldnt see it but as soon as I took my shoes off everything was sticking to my feet. The toilets looked as if no one had really cleaned under the rim in a year. Everything was kind of cleaned around, but not under. The balcony door is super hard to open and shut. I'm not the strongest person but still. I literally got stuck out on the balcony for 10 minutes until my husband could let me in. A few holes in the wall from the front door handle and pictures that maybe were too heavy (?) Patio furniture could use a refresh, faded cushions and the table is starting to disintegrate.
