About this property

GREAT GALVESTON GETAWAY! STRESS-FREE BEACH VACATION!

Only 40 minutes from Hobby Airport. Enjoy a stress-free vacation in a beautiful, fully furnished and supplied, luxury condo in a 5-Star Resort property with gorgeous ocean views. This 3-bed, 2 bath unit is comfortably furnished with a king, a queen, 2 full-size beds and a queen-size sleeper sofa. There are stunning 5th-Floor views from the condo of the Gulf of Mexico, the beach and the gorgeous Diamond Beach Resort. The Resort has beach access, an enormous beautifully landscaped pool with a lazy river, a heated indoor pool, swim-up pool bar (seasonal hours), theatre room, game room and a fitness room to rival any health club. You would never have to leave the property, but you will want to experience all that the City of Galveston has to offer - fine dining, historic properties and museums, Schlitterbahn Water Park, Pleasure Pier amusement park, live theater at the 1898 Grand Opera House and shopping on the Historic Strand. Weather concerns? Not a problem. The unit has 4 huge, flat-screen, Smart TVs, a secure wireless network and expanded cable. Take advantage of the indoor pool and game room until the sun is shining again.
Traveling with kids? A full-over-full-size bunk bed will make them happy. In addition to expanded cable services and Wi-Fi, there is a DVD player and board games in the unit. Downstairs, there is the game room with free-play pinball and basketball games. The lazy river and beautiful, over-sized outdoor pool will provide hours of entertainment. For small children, there is a bright, beautiful playroom on the property and walk-in, shallow feature to the outdoor pool.
Do you need to mix business with pleasure? The secure wireless connection in the condo will allow you to use your laptop and wireless devices. The resort also has a business center with computers. You can entertain and meet with clients in the Wine Room, by reservation.
Galveston has an abundance of highly-rated restaurants, but if you want to prepare meals, the condo is fully-supplied with anything you would need (except your groceries).
Finally, you can relax knowing that there are 24-hour guest services and security at the Diamond Beach Resort. Most importantly, the owners are local residents and business owners who will be available to immediately address any issues that may arise with your vacation rental.

Another Fantastic Weekend
This was our second year back to this unit and it was just as great as the first. Neat and tidy, and has everything we could want. Sleeps all of our family, great views from the balcony, plenty of seating inside, and host is responsive and always helpful. Diamond Beach is a great place to stay in Galveston and this unit is the best for our family.

Beautiful Condo, Outstanding Host!!!
We came for a short girls trip with my mom and daughters, age range from 74-13 yrs old and everyone had a blast!!! Karen is an outstanding host! One of the girls forgot some jewelry and she is going out of her way to send it to us. Any time we come to Galveston, we will definitely stay here.

As good as it gets
Having lived in Galveston for almost 10 years, we know the island very well. This property checks all of the boxes. Karen, the host, is excellent. She is highly responsive to all questions and concerns and makes sure that your vacation goes well. The condo itself is modern, well cared for, and very clean. The location is close to everything yet quiet. The furniture is comfortable as are the beds. The unit is actually nicer than portrayed in the pictures in my opinion. My family and I would definitely stay here again.

Excellent
This place was great for our family. The unit was clean and organized, and we had everything we needed for making our meals as well as going to the pool and beach. The view of the pool and ocean is excellent, and the walk to the beach was about 10 minutes from room to sand. There was plenty of room for everyone to sleep, and we loved having the dining table to gather around. Communication with the owner was exceptional. We had a great time and hope to return again.

Extremely clean and lovely appointed property
Karen met us and gave us a tour at this very large property to be comfortable immediately. The condo was perfectly appointed and the location was better than I thought. We were less than 10 minutes from everything. I highly recommend this property and the owners were 5 star. All you need to bring is your bathing suit and sunscreen and any food for your stay. EVERYTHING else is provided. Thank you for a lovely experience.

Wonderful property
This was the perfect place for our family (3 adults and 2 kids). The listing was spot on. The communication with the owner was the best we have ever had at VRBO. The big lazy River and the gas grills for lunch were a perfect 10. The 3 tier pool was huge as well. The hot tubs were actually hot. The pool slide was not open, but we were there the week before Memorial Day and it should open soon. Great vacation spot. Highly recommended. Will be back.

About the host

Hosted by Karen Madden

Host profile image
We are local business owners and long-time residents in Galveston. We are available to answer any questions or address any concerns during your stay, even if it's only a recommendation for a restaurant.

Why they chose this property

We bought this property because we fell in love with Diamond Beach, and wanted a place for family and friends to stay when visiting. We have furnished and supplied the unit as if it were a second home.

What makes this property unique

The views from the unit are simply breathtaking. When I stood in the kitchen, I could see for miles down the beach at low tide. Our kids loved the pools and game room. We love to relax at Bar None or work out in the fitness room, all the while enjoying amazing views of the Gulf of Mexico.
