The view of the beach was excellent. We enjoyed the balcony very much. The unit took almost a full day to cool down but then it was nice the rest of the time. All the extra amenities at Diamond Beach were also a bonus.

This condo was perfect for our stay in Galveston. It had everything we needed. We were able to have amazing ocean views, plenty of space, and most of all relax. The resort was clean, had a wonderful pool, and the lazy river was our favorite hang out.

The condo was perfect for me and my spouse. We stayed over an extended weekend and the place was great. It was centrally located and close to other attractions in the area. It had nice amenities on the property and was walking distance to the beach. Overall really enjoyed ourselves!

The Pool and lazy river simply stunning

The facilities were amazing. Friendly staff were always willing to help. Very clean facility. Lazy river was so relaxing. Didn't even make it to the beach. No need when the pool is clean and refreshing. Condo had all the extra, ice machine, washer dryer etc...Only feedback is condo needs a thorough cleaning, such as under the beds and couches and coffee maker had a alot of calcium build up. Everything was convenient. Will be returning again. onoy feed back

Girl trip

It is a great area, close to restaurants and a short walk to the beach. The landscaping and pools in great shape after the recent hurricane. The lazy river was a lot of fun. The condo could have been cleaner and better stocked with towels. Only one wine glass? I would stay at the resort again but in a different condo.

Building was beautiful but…

We had to call the property manager almost every day cause the air conditioner was not working even though they reported they installed a new unit our second day in the condo. Also the dryer was not functional and was packed with lint which prevented it from drying clothing and that was a must have for us when we booked this condo. The property manager’s solution was to go to a local laundry mat and they would reimburse us for the cost of the laundry mat. We would definitely stay at this building again but not in this unit.

We loved the unit and all the amenities at the complex. View is amazing. Unit was very clean and well appointed. Even in the very cold weather, we had family fun in the game room and theater. This was the second stay for us and we will definitely be back.

Great amenities great view

We enjoyed our stay here, first time in the area. Having to work through both, the VRBO and managers portal was cumbersome. Also, the amount of information they requested, and the amount of communication was a bit much. However, they were highly responsive and respectful. The property was dated, but accurate to the pictures. Can’t beat the penthouse, and the amenities of the building or fantastic.

Great location. Ok unit. Minimalist host

Best location with access to great resort amenities and beach. Great views. The unit is ok but suffers from serious lack of night stands / side tables (we ended up putting our stuff on floor). Bed in master bedroom is a shame (looks like sofa than true bed, very low snd soft mattress). It very obvious that host is trying to save as much money as possible which degrades experience: the fridge was turned on the day of our check in and never told us. It took unit next morning to be properly cool and we ended up throwing so much food and rebuy everything. There is minimal supplies in terms of shampoo, hand soap, towels, etc. They also had the check out time discrepant between my rental agreement and their website and I had to alter my plans. I would be willing to come to diamond beach again but hesitant to use same host unless they improve their hosting process.

Room with a view

Beautiful property in a great location. The overall facility has great amenties including pools, lazy river, game room, workout room and close to the beach. Close to a variety of shops, restaurants, piers and right on the seawall for miles of biking or walking. Only downside was the condo had no basic supplies such as salt, pepper, spices, coffee filters, kleenex, beach towels or the common items typically found in a vrbo.

Tropical storm didn’t stop us!

Imelda brought non-stop rain the entire 3 days of our stay, however we had a great time regardless! The condo was beautiful, warm and cozy during the inclement weather with amazing panoramic views of the storms rolling in off the coast. We very much enjoyed the indoor swimming pool and game lounge, and even got out to the hot tub in the rain! My husband and I slept in the guest room and let grandma and our little girls have the GORGEOUS master sweet. The twin beds were comfortable and the guest bath very nice.. we were not disappointed! We have vacationed at Diamond Beach before but this was by far our favorite condo! Can’t wait to come back next summer!

Perfect beach front location

No curtains in the main living area made for a terrible nights sleep because the pool lights below never turn off. The master bath shower was filthy. I sent a message through VRBO to the owner/manager and never received a response. We have stayed in the building before in a different unit and have loved the location. We will just go back to the other unit.

Okay for such a great property

We love this place, but.... The Good:Diamond Beach is a great complex. Next to the beach, beautiful 300 foot pool, 2 hot tubs, a great lazy river, and great indoor pool. Cinema room, workout room, game room – all top notch. If you’ve never been to Diamond Beach resort, go there. The complex is FANTASTIC…but….Seventh floor room with panoramic views.The 2 bedroom floor plan is good. TV’s worked fine. They had FireTV Xfinity. Very good.The property was reasonably clean.Working A/C. (essential in Galveston in summer). The Average:Master Bedroom Bed was just weird. Didn’t rise up off the floor at all. Just a frame set on the ground. Mattress was squishy. We could live with it, but just weird.Balcony / table covering had not been rinsed off or wiped down before we got there. I understand we’re on the ocean, but there is a minimum standard that needs to be applied.Storage (chests, shelves, hangers) were below average (not lots of places to store clothing).The Not So Good.No beach towels. NONE. I actually expect some beach chairs and umbrellas, but no beach towels? That is ridiculous, and would be very easy to remedy for low cost. “Kitchen ware” quite lacking (e.g., corkscrews, sharp knives, can openers, cookie sheets). There was 1 wine glass. They did have some pans and plates, and a core level of silverware. Ice maker in refrigerator did not work at all.MAJOR flickering lights in master bathroom. Very annoying.

Great property! Condo was satisfactory.

The location is amazing and the property amenities are awesome, especially the pools, lazy river, arcade room, and the gym. The proximity to the beach and the Seawall make it very easy to enjoy time on the beach or local Galveston restaurants and attractions. There were two things about the individual condo that were unfavorable. While the condo itself was clean, the balcony was not clean or well kept. The balcony needs a lot of improvement which was disappointing because the view really is amazing and we would have spent more time there otherwise. The kitchen had awesome appliances but was missing quite a few essentials for cooking such as baking sheet, mixing bowls, whisk, wine bottle opener, and glasses (only 1 wine glass and 3 water glasses but tons of coffee mugs).

Diamond Beach 708

Overall the property was quite nice. Upon check-in I did note and called Ryson regarding a few issues. The towel ring in the Master Bath was not connected and the ring came off with the towel; found the back panel of the remote for the lights and ceiling fan in the Master Bedroom...but the remote itself was nowhere to be found; the second bath needs a new flush element...it worked part time. As of today 7/28/23, no maintenance was performed. TKS, Paul Piche

Not happy

I’m covered in bites. I didn’t go to the beach so it’s not sand fleas. The icemaker didn’t work. The fridge barely kept our drinks cold. The balcony and outside furniture were covered in bird crap. You could barely see through the glass railing there was so much bird crap on it. There were only 2 towels in the linen closet in each bathroom. We found 2 more towels in a drawer as we were making sure we didn’t leave anything when we left. Not sure why they were not with the other towels. No laundry supplies. There was no communication with the owners. We stay at Diamondbeach 4 or 5 times a year and this condo was very disappointing.
