High Style Penthouse #5PH2 With 180 Degree View Of The Gulf and West Beach
A Caribbean seaside resort conveniently located in Galveston best describes Diamond Beach. Our 3 bedroom/2 bath penthouse is located on the fifth floor at Diamond Beach Resort and Spa, which is unequivocally the preeminent resort in Galveston.
All of the condos at Diamond Beach have great views of the water but this is one of the few condos that has a view of the bay and the ocean. Starting at the front door, you have a wonderful view of the bay. As you step inside the penthouse, you will be greeted by floor-to-ceiling windows with spectacular views of the Gulf of Mexico. When you open the sliding glass doors, you will step onto your private oversized balcony with a 180 degree view of the bay and the gorgeous Gulf waters. The balcony is a great place to sip a cup of coffee in the morning before everyone wakes up or have a nice tropical drink in the evening with your family and friends.
The master bedroom in the penthouse is one of the few units that has floor-to-ceiling windows with a spectacular view of the Gulf. The bedroom is an oasis for rest and relaxation, starting with its chandelier, deluxe king- size bed, and 55-inch flat screen TV (my husband’s decorating input) . The bathroom contains a wonderful rain-shower and an oversized tub. The bathroom also has his and her sinks. The condo has complimentary Wifi.
The 2nd bedroom has a deluxe queen size bed, a custom headboard, a 55 inch-flat screen TV (again my husband’s decorating input).
The 3rd bedroom has a deluxe king size bed, a custom headboard, and a large flat screen TV . The 2nd bath is across from the two guest bedrooms with a walk-in shower. The penthouse is tiled with stone floor and a washer/dryer.
The penthouse comes with a fully equipped kitchen and has granite counter tops. You’ll have 180 degree views of the ocean as you prepare waffles for breakfast or eat your favorite take-out foods from the large selection of restaurants within a short distance of Diamond Beach. The dining table seats 6 and the counter-stools sit 3, which is where the kids like to sit.
The living room has fantastic views of the ocean, a queen-sleeper sofa, and a 60-inch flat screen smart TV (you’ll never guess who picked out the TV). The condo sleeps up to 8 people.
Diamond Beach boasts of many amenities including:
Concierge: A concierge desk open 7 days a week from 7:00 am to 11:00 pm for your convenience with a staff knowledgeable regarding the island’s best attractions and restaurants.
Pools: Three pools consisting of a 750 ft. lazy river with a swim up bar and grill, a gigantic 300 ft. tiered cascading pool (which contains a kids’ pool), and Galveston’s only indoor heated pool for year-round enjoyment. The pools have plenty of lounge chairs or, if you want something more private, you can rent a cabana for the day.
Pool Bar: The pool bar is open on Fridays and Saturdays during the summer.
Spa: Ruthy's Spa is now open on the 4th floor. Book your appointment and relax with one of the many wonderful treatments.
Gym: The Look Better in Your Swimsuit Center (aka The Exercise Room). This place may inspire those of us (like me) who would prefer to have a tooth extracted instead of going to the gym to actually get on a treadmill with its spectacular vistas of the Gulf.
Game Room. Tabletop shuffleboard, foosball, pin ball machines, a billiards table, and a Wii Room for the kids and sometimes even parents get to play.
Cinema Room: If you are in the mood to go to the movies, all you need to do is step into the private theater room at Diamond Beach while you enjoy a bag of popcorn.
Kids Jungle Room: With its jungle murals, games, blocks, oversized bean bags and TV, this is the place to be for the hip toddler crowd.
Business Center: If you must work, at least you’ll have great views of the indoor pool and beach.
Beach Access: If you have time to go to the beach after doing all of the activities at Diamond Beach Resort & Spa, all you need to do is open the door on the property next to the lazy river and walk down to the beach. Diamond Beach is located just steps away from the beach. There’s no need to cross the road or jump in the car.
Diamond Beach is near everything. Just a few minutes car drive from: (i) entertainment (Moody Gardens; Miniature Golf; Schlitterbahn Waterpark; The Stand; Railroad Museum); (ii) golf courses (Moody Gardens Golf Course and Galveston Country Club), (iii) recreational activities (Seaside Bicycle Rentals; fishing for speckled trout, redfish, founder, golden croaker); bird watching (3/4 of all North American species travel through Galveston during fall and spring migration), (iv) restaurants (everything from McDonald’s to Guido’s), and (v) lots of shopping.

As advertised. Nice, clean property. Exceptional host - very quick to respond. Only issue was the construction next door, sounds of the condo going in somewhat interfere with the sounds of the beach and the birds. Overall we enjoyed our stay very much. Enjoyed relaxing on the patio.
We had an Ocean View penthouse room. Check in was quick and smooth! When we walked through the door of our room, instantly we were greeted with a very clean room. The kitchen had EVERYTHING we could dream of needing! The views were spectacular! The pool area was clean and maintained! Very relaxing setting! The gym was top notch! We enjoyed the game room! Great property, great location, close to restaurants and grocery store! Enjoyed the walkway along the beach in the morning for walks!
Yes, activities for all ages. We enjoyed the large media room when it was to cold to go to the beach.There was only a beach view to the right side of the balcony. We did expect to see the beach front from all of the balcony.
The best place to stay in Galveston. Perfect location and the ABSOLUTE BEST for kids! The condo was beautiful and spent most of the time on the patio with stunning sunsets and sunrise. Beach access was perfect and condo amenities are unmatched. I will be back for sure!!!

We're so glad you enjoyed your stay and spend time on the patio. We agree the sunsets are stunning. We look forward to your return trip.
We had a great time on our visit! The unit was great for our group of 2 families with small kids. Our only hesitatation when booking was beach access. I'm glad to share that it was a very easy walk with a clear path. Our kids also really loved the lazy river!
We had a wonderful time! The condo was very clean and provided everything we needed. We loved the large balcony; and it was especially safe with small children. As always, the river and the pool provided much relaxation and fun.Maria is a super nice and helpful host. We're looking forward to our next visit!!
This property was the perfect place for a rest and reset trip with family. The accommodations and location were top-notch. It was the ideal place to bring in the new year! I plan to stay there again definitely!

Dear Michael -
We're glad you found DB gorgeous and got to meet our 5 star staff. It was lovely hosting you, and we look forward to your next stay with us.
Excellent host for this condo! The condo was neat & clean. Well stocked. Great view from a very large balcony. Several pools to pick from. And there’s an amazing coffee shop right across the street. We look forward to staying here again!
We had a great time at Diamond Beach. We loved the condo and the size of the outooor space. There was construction next door but the noise wasn't bad with the sound of the ocean in the background. Plus, watching the crane was pretty neat. The inside was very clean and spacious and there were a lot of essentials provided. The only thing missing was sheet pans so we had to go buy our own. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and the owner was very friendly and helpful.

About the host
Hosted by Maria
My name is Maria. I am an attorney, and my husband is a law professor. We love to travel but with our busy lives it’s difficult to get away for more than a few days. Diamond Beach is the perfect getaway. It doesn’t require a plane ride or a long car drive. We can go for the day or for the week.
Why they chose this property
We purchased a 2 bedroom condo at Diamond Beach a few years ago. We have had so much fun and have been asked by so many guests if we had another condo that we decided to buy another condo. The penthouse is spectacular and the photos do not do it justice.
What makes this property unique
Diamond Beach is a haven from our hectic lives. Whether you go with your kids, do a girls weekend, or a romantic getaway, you’ll want to come back again and again. If you live in Houston, it’s as close as a 45 minute drive. Even though you’re so close to home, you’ll feel that you’ve gone to the Caribbean for a vacation with all the amenities and tranquility.
