Immaculate beachfront condo

The condo was great and by far the cleanest vacation rental that I have ever stayed in. Karen the owner was very gracious and accommodating. The king bed was very comfortable and the condo was in a good location. It's right on the beach with a beautiful oceanfront view but still close to restaurants and entertainment. I would definitely stay there again. Amy Yao

Wonderful condo!!

We have stayed at Diamond Beach many times and this condo is awesome. It's fully equipped and accommodating to families. Karen is so friendly and informative about the condo which was so helpful. She went above and beyond and brought a pack and play to our condo for our daughter. Highly recommend condo 507 and would definitely stay here again.

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.

Great Condo!

Diamond Beach Resort is all condos and many with full time residents. They have excellent front desk & security with key fab access to the grounds so it really is just for those staying there. The pool, hot tubs, & lazy river are beautiful. Even though the weather didn’t allow for swimming the area was kept clean every day. The condo itself is great. Plenty of room for the three of us and could have a couple more with room to move. There was plenty of towels (bath & beach) and everything else needed. Unit was clean, washer & dryer clean & fridge clean with ice maker and all. Three bedrooms were all nice with comfortable beds. Location is perfect at the end of the seawall for a good walk to nearby places or directly to the beach via hotel locked gate access. Karen met us upon arrival to get into the garage & get checked in & showed us to the unit. Answered all questions. She is very accessible if needed during your stay. Yes you get an inside garage parking spot with remote access. Would definitely stay here 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.

My family and I have rented this unit each year for the past few years, and we continue to enjoy the experience. Karen keeps the unit in EXCELLENT condition, and the unit always comes stocked with beach towels, some pool / beach toys for children, toilet paper, and other supplies. The unit is always VERY CLEAN, and Karen is VERY RESPONSIVE! My family and I look forward to renting again in the future!

Diamond beach resort

The property is full of fun things to do! The pool & hot tubs are huge! This condo is beautiful. Karen has great taste! The kitchen is fully stocked & it was so convenient having a washer & dryer! The master bath has a jacuzzi tub & big, beautiful rain shower! The view from the balcony is breathtaking! We went for spring break with 6 adults & 2 kids. The condo is large & well arranged even for that many people! It was still too cold to get in the pool so it was awesome having the hot tubs & the indoor pool. Karen was very accommodating & we can't wait to go back!!

Grand kids loved it! And so did we :)

The unit was clean and kid friendly. We enjoyed the pools, walks on the beach (away from the sea weed), and game room amenities. We grilled at the pool lobby and apparently made others hungry! The complex is clean and well maintained. Our two year old grandson and four year old granddaughter loved the kiddie pool everyday! Our unit was modern with granite counters and electric smooth cooktop range. However, we're going to have to find out what kind of mattress the master bedroom has--my back pain went away!

Sad to leave!

The owners were very helpful & willing to accommodate us in any way possible. They are on the island and met us to walk us through the check-in process & show us to the condo. They have a perfect balance of showing attentiveness & also giving the plenty of privacy & space. They make you feel completely welcome but also like the condo is all yours. The condo is extremely clean & neat. Nice upgraded appliances, cookware and also quality products like Method hand soap & dish soap which was a very nice touch. So often when we travel, I feel like my quality of consumable products is lower than what I normally use at home. Here, I felt completely comfortable & even a little pampered! Nice bedding and very comfortable beds. Just bought our son an expensive top of the line memory foam mattress & yet he said the lower bunk bed mattress was the "most comfortable bed" he's ever slept on. Go figure. ;) The location of the condo is great. The view from the balcony is perfect -- overlooking the length of the pool, part of the seawall & a long way down the beach. The grounds were very well-kept. We used the hot tubs even though it was in the 40's. They are quite large. The front desk ladies were always very nice. There were a couple of funny "house" sounds but they didn't bother us. One has something to do with the HVAC in the hall bathroom. It was infrequent but we simply closed the bathroom door at night & I never heard it. The other was the sound of wind being heard through the master bathroom vent but only when the wind was extremely strong -- nothing the owes could do about that. HOWEVER, when I mentioned it, they immediately ordered a white noise/nature sound machine for the condo. I slept like a baby with that thing! Overall, an excellent stay and I would definitely love to come back! To me, the grounds are great & the condo is very nice but the owners add a special touch & make the place really shine. Thanks so much for sharing your property with us! We hope to come back soon!

If you’re trying to decide which condo to book, look no further. Check in and out were seamless and smooth. The condo is sparkling clean, all the way down to the beach/pool towels provided and the coffee maker. WiFi is fast and reliable, we had two in our group who completed Zoom meetings for work during our stay. The owners answered all of my random questions promptly and instructions for check out were posted in the condo and were short and concise. No stripping beds or mopping the floors prior to checkout. We can’t thank you enough for your hospitality and the memories we made during our stay. Added bonus, we had BEAUTIFUL blue green water during our stay.

Best Vacation

We absolutely loved our stay! The condo was better than described. It was very clean, spacious and comfortable. The front desk people were so kind, the workout facility was excellent with views of the ocean while on the tread! You can’t beat that! The pools were absolutely fantastic and we loved the beauty of Galveston. The beaches were very nice and we loved the seawall with convenient parking which made it so easy to lug stuff the few steps to your spot on the beach. There were many places to rent chairs/umbrellas if needed. Numerous restaurants lined the seawall streets offering a variety of foods and we loved Pleasure Pier! Karen was a fantastic host. The quick tour of the condo upon arrival was very welcoming and it was comforting knowing you had someone to call, just in case. This was by far one of the best vacations we have ever taken and we will be back!

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.
