Beautiful condo. Kitchen had all essentials to cook meals. Big shower with plenty of hot water to wash off after a day at the beach. The pool areas were great. Wish the bunk beds were separate from the master.

The Diamond Beach Resort is an amazing property. The pool and lazy river are wonderful. The game room is a fun place to spend some family time. The condo has all the amenities you will need while spending time at the beach. The condo uses the space beautifully.

Great spot for a relaxing getaway. Complex is conveniently located and Unit was clean and well maintained. Great view of the pool and ocean from the deck. On-site amenities are awesome and kept the kids entertained. Will look to rent again next time we visit Galveston.

Perfect getaway

Everything was clean and perfect for a quick getaway for 2. Enjoyed the view and loved having options beyond the beach. Loved a long lazy river float and sitting on the beach taking in the sights and sounds. Chairs were provided for the beach which was a great extra. Highly recommended!

Perfect place

We had a great time at Diamond Beach condos. We rented one that we stayed in last year, but brought a couple more people this year so we needed to try a 2nd one. The unit was perfect for our needs. Great location. Loved the decor and the unit was very comfortable. We will stay again !

Overall we had a great time, loved the place. However the bathtub wouldn’t hold water good bc the stopper was broken. & the sofa could use an upgrade, makes a lot of noise and not that comfortable but overall it was a nice place.

Amazing property!

This was the perfect condo for myself and my 6 year old. It actually seemed much bigger than it looked in the pictures. I loved the balcony, the view was incredible. The pool area and lazy river were huge and very well maintained. It rained much of the time that we were there, but on rainy days we enjoyed the large indoor pool. It was actually pretty fun to watch the storm through the large windows by the indoor pool from the second floor. We had such a wonderful stay.

First family vacation

Booked this as our first family vacation with our daughter. She loved every moment and loved sleeping on the top bunk. We enjoyed having a kitchen so we could prepare meals throughout the day as needed. The outdoor pool is fantastic for littles and adults. I will stay at this property again but maybe a different room. I would have enjoyed more balcony space and more comfortable furniture.

Great Apartment

I stayed for about 3 weeks here - 2 weeks by myself - felt completely safe in the area and then my family came to visit AK and stayed with me for an additional week. The kitchen was well stocked with things to cook with a few extra things would have been nice like a baking sheet/pizza pan and some tupperware - but not really a big deal. the toiletries provided were of nice quality and plenty! (shampoo, conditioner, body wash, liquid hand soap). and the Owner was great about answering questions during my stay and was very helpful. Would stay here again and the neighbors were pretty nice too :-).

Fun getaway

We enjoyed our stay, condo was clean and comfortable. Amenities were disappointing, however, which is not reflective of condo owner. The slide was closed, and it is summer, which is NOT off-season. Arcade had broken/non-working games. Our kids were extremely disappointed. Outdoor pool area and lazy river were nice, tubes were available for free. We enjoyed the beach access as well. Overall good stay.

Perfect Small Family Stay

I hesitate to speak too highly of our experience because I selfishly don’t want the availability of this property to decrease while the price increases, but it truly was great for me and my two children (5 and 7). Our stay was in the off season so the property wasn’t crowded at all. I would imagine it’s busy in the summer, so it would be a different experience. My kids had a great time, the rental itself was perfect for our small family, and we will definitely be back. The indoor pool was nice, the outdoor pool was HUGE (pictures don’t do it justice), my kids loved the lazy river, and the beach was easy to get to. Note: the bunk bed pictured actually has a trundle bed at the bottom, so three people could sleep there.

Quick Trip

Went to Galveston for a long weekend. Check in for this rental was 3 PM. After leaving the concierge desk, I went to my room which wasn’t cleaned from the last guest. I contacted the front desk who contacted the owner who reached out and said they would be on their way. Room wasn’t clean until after 6 PM, which was a little disappointing Given that I was only there for a few days. The views were great. The weather did not cooperate on this specific weekend but we had a good trip. Overall a good stay, but wish the owner would’ve tried to compensate for the unclean room.

A Perfect Beach Getaway!

We recently had the pleasure of staying at the Secret Diamond at the Diamond Beach Resort in Galveston, TX, and it was an absolute dream come true. From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the beauty of the property and the incredible amenities it had to offer. First and foremost, the view from our 6th-floor balcony was simply breathtaking. Waking up to the sight of the beach stretching out before us was a daily reminder of the paradise we were lucky enough to call home for our vacation. The balcony provided the perfect spot to relax, enjoy a cup of coffee, and soak in the calming ocean breeze. The Secret Diamond itself was a cozy haven that exceeded our expectations. Impeccably well-kept and tastefully furnished, it instantly felt like a home away from home. The attention to detail was evident in every aspect of the unit, ensuring a comfortable and inviting stay. We appreciated the cleanliness and comfort that awaited us each day. The highlight of the property was undoubtedly the lazy river pool. It was an absolute delight to float along the winding waters, surrounded by beautiful landscaping. The lazy river provided hours of pure relaxation and enjoyment, and it was the perfect way to cool off from the warm Texas sun. We couldn't get enough of this unique feature. We were also impressed by the overall cleanliness and maintenance of the property. The grounds were meticulously cared for, and everything was in excellent condition. The staff we encountered were friendly, professional, and attentive to our needs, making our experience even more enjoyable. The Secret Diamond at the Diamond Beach Resort truly exceeded our expectations. It provided the perfect combination of luxury, comfort, and natural beauty. We highly recommend this property to anyone seeking a memorable beach getaway. Whether you're looking to unwind on the balcony with a stunning view, float along the lazy river, or simply relax on the beach, this place has it all. Thank you to the staff and management for creating such a wonderful vacation experience. We look forward to returning to the Secret Diamond in the future, as it has become our go-to destination for a blissful beach retreat.
