Quick weekend stay

We had a quick weekend trip to Galveston for cheer competition plus birthday celebration. Condo was/is fantastic - very clean; all amenities you would need; looks professionally decorated; and very responsive owners and rental representative. We definitely look forward to returning in the near future.

My family and I have been coming to diamond beach resorts for the last 4 years and we have finally found our favorite condo! We will always stay in this unit moving forward if it’s available. Everything was amazing!! I was especially blown away by the host and how helpful they were. I ended up booking the wrong dates and when I reached out they answered me right away and went above and beyond to help me in so many ways. 5 stars!!

Right on the ocean!

Plenty of room around the whole place and everything you need. Our family enjoyed every minute here. Went and explored the town in the morning and came back in the afternoon for a swim at the pool or play in the ocean. After dinner we would enjoy sitting on the patio listening to the waves.

Diamond beach

Diamond beach is a nice convenient property, the beach is easy to get to because you don’t have to cross the road. The indoor pool is nice when the weather is off. The game room could use an update, but otherwise there are many nice things to do. The unit itself had many things provided, the beds were nice.

Girls weekend

It was great. The condo is insanely stocked in the kitchen compared to any place I’ve been. They had beach toys and floats if you had kids in your party. Large patio to chill on. Location is great, we ubered to the strand and we walked across the street to the coffee house, restaurant, and liquor store, and we were told the bar sells great drinks in that center too. We had an over great time.

Everything was as decribed. It was a wonderful relaxing stay. The additional amenities in the condo were appreciated. Ie: beach items, spices, games, etc. The patio was my favorite. All the outdoor condo amenities were exceptional. Perfect location. The staff were friendly and helpful. The beds were comfortable. Plenty to keep busy or relax.

Diamond Beach

Great place. Very clean. Pool was very nice. Pictures of balcony on VRBO are somewhat deceiving as it shows the couch and then another picture with a table and chairs and a tv, which must of been a different unit. Also, two rooms show bunk beds but one room only had a double bed. They had everything you would need there. Only request if we stayed again would be to have a couple of high top chairs on narrow part of balcony to see over railing as it’s somewhat hard to see the ocean from the second floor. If you want a tiki bar like the Diamond Beach website says is there, it wasn’t open. All in all it’s a beautiful place.
