GREAT GALVESTON GETAWAY! STRESS-FREE BEACH VACATION!

Only 40 minutes from Hobby Airport. Enjoy a stress-free vacation in a beautiful, fully furnished and supplied, luxury condo in a 5-Star Resort property with gorgeous ocean views. This 3-bed, 2 bath unit is comfortably furnished with a king, a queen, 2 full-size beds and a queen-size sleeper sofa. There are stunning 5th-Floor views from the condo of the Gulf of Mexico, the beach and the gorgeous Diamond Beach Resort. The Resort has beach access, an enormous beautifully landscaped pool with a lazy river, a heated indoor pool, swim-up pool bar (seasonal hours), theatre room, game room and a fitness room to rival any health club. You would never have to leave the property, but you will want to experience all that the City of Galveston has to offer - fine dining, historic properties and museums, Schlitterbahn Water Park, Pleasure Pier amusement park, live theater at the 1898 Grand Opera House and shopping on the Historic Strand. Weather concerns? Not a problem. The unit has 4 huge, flat-screen, Smart TVs, a secure wireless network and expanded cable. Take advantage of the indoor pool and game room until the sun is shining again.
Traveling with kids? A full-over-full-size bunk bed will make them happy. In addition to expanded cable services and Wi-Fi, there is a DVD player and board games in the unit. Downstairs, there is the game room with free-play pinball and basketball games. The lazy river and beautiful, over-sized outdoor pool will provide hours of entertainment. For small children, there is a bright, beautiful playroom on the property and walk-in, shallow feature to the outdoor pool.
Do you need to mix business with pleasure? The secure wireless connection in the condo will allow you to use your laptop and wireless devices. The resort also has a business center with computers. You can entertain and meet with clients in the Wine Room, by reservation.
Galveston has an abundance of highly-rated restaurants, but if you want to prepare meals, the condo is fully-supplied with anything you would need (except your groceries).
Finally, you can relax knowing that there are 24-hour guest services and security at the Diamond Beach Resort. Most importantly, the owners are local residents and business owners who will be available to immediately address any issues that may arise with your vacation rental.

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!

Another Fantastic Weekend

This was our second year back to this unit and it was just as great as the first. Neat and tidy, and has everything we could want. Sleeps all of our family, great views from the balcony, plenty of seating inside, and host is responsive and always helpful. Diamond Beach is a great place to stay in Galveston and this unit is the best for our family.

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!!!

We came for a short girls trip with my mom and daughters, age range from 74-13 yrs old and everyone had a blast!!! Karen is an outstanding host! One of the girls forgot some jewelry and she is going out of her way to send it to us. Any time we come to Galveston, we will definitely stay here.

About the host

Hosted by Karen Madden

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.
