Weekend away

Had a great weekend away filled with fun for every age! Our 5 year olds loved the pools and the game rooms and the parents/grandparents loved relaxing on the balcony or admiring the views from the living room. Truly everything for everyone!

Loved it

This is a great place for family. The unit was spacious for my family of 5 and my parents. The staff is very friendly. The outdoor pool was closed while we were there and the mosquitos from the swamp on the volleyball court made it difficult to enjoy the lazy river but everything else was great. Kids also loved the game room. 10am check out was earlier than our friends in another unit and our unit was not ready at 4pm check in because it was still being cleaned, but only minor inconveniences. Hopefully both elevators are working when we return.

nicer than reasonably expected

This was an exceptionally nice rental – great room furniture exceeds any reasonable expectation for a beach rental. The layout was a tad odd – all four bedrooms are interior, with no windows or views. That worked just fine for us, as we went to bed when we were ready to go to sleep and the great room and wonderful balcony, had all the more space due to this design. Great TVs (though with odd voice directed remotes.) nice kids play area, plenty of dining space inside and out electrically raised heads on most of the beds Overall, we give this a 9 out of 10.

Spacious, Elegant, Gorgeous Views

When you are on a trip, comfortable beds and furniture is a must. This lovely, living space has it. The beds offered remote controls as well as the recliners. The outdoor couches are very comfortable for enjoying the incredible views or relaxing with a book. With views from the top floor, words cannot describe the lighting over the ocean in the evenings or the incredible experience of watching a storm roll in. Our family ages ranged from 12 months to 65 years. We appreciated the walk-in showers for the adults and the large tubs for the babies. What an elegant space with plenty of seating for multiple families. Lastly, we were never disturbed by neighbors staying in adjacent apartments. The location was quiet and a great stress release. The only downside was the large TV in the living room did not work. We did have one day with a large thunderstorm heading our way and would like to have watched a local channel from the living room. Overall, we felt spoiled with this fabulous living space.

Very dirty

The unit was beautifully decorated and had an awesome view. Upon arrival our unit was very dirty. Look like whoever cleaned it was in a rush. Appliances and cabinets have food all over them. Glass table had smears on it. Mirrors had handprints, that look like from a child. Easter grass and Sprinkles all over the floors and back porch had chocolate frosting on the table and sprinkles. Ants were all over the back porches, because it had not been cleaned up. Found Easter grass in a couple of the beds and worst of all, one of the beds had crushed Cheez-Its, long black hairs, and sprinkles in the bed. Look like they had just made the beds but did not change the sheets. Very disgusting and very disappointing. We called management they sent somebody out. The girl took a few pictures wipe down the kitchen and the dining room table, then left. We had to wash our own sheets that first night. It was A beautiful Propert , but would not stay there again.

Beautiful property

The unit we rented was really lovely, but the amenities for which we had to pay (resort fee) seemed exorbitant since none of them were available save the gym. The fireplace did not work and the telephone number given to help problem solve was no help. Texted back and forth for 1 1/2 days, and left without getting it to work. The thermostats were a bit different and no instructions were given for them, the television, or the fireplace. Nonetheless, we enjoyed our time together.

Peaceful Stay

We visited with my husband, kids 6 and 8, and my parents. The unit is massive and tasteful furnished. So many things to do on site including an indoor pool (outdoor was too cold), arcade with free games, and a movie theater you could reserve. I would have been happy just staying in the condo and sipping wine on the patio though. It had a gorgeous view and is on the top floor.

The best unit so far!

This is the 4th time we visited Diamond Beach Resort. This unit is the best so far. Having a 4th bedroom and the game area are perfect with young kids. The furniture and fixtures of the unit are modern. The facilities of the resort are very nice and well maintained. Highly recommended!

Perfect October Week at the Beach

We have rented a beach house in Galveston every October for ten years. This year after staying at Diamond Beach in Dec for the weekend we decided to try it for our week in October also. I’m not sure we will ever go back to renting a house. There are so many extra amenities available. The exercise room, spa, lazy river and pool in addition to the beach (& game & play rooms for kids) are really nice. The ocean views especially on the 7th floor are incredible. Our condo was spacious, the beds comfortable, the kitchen well equipped and it is so close in to restaurants and shopping. It was close to perfect.

Abolutely FABULOUS

This unit is incredible. The view is amazing! There are two patios for you to enjoy. One with comfortable seating and one with a farm table for enjoying dining. The kitchen is stocked and ready for cooking. There was no expense spared for the furniture. It's all cozy and comfortable, even has two remote control rocking chairs. The beds are comfortable and have remotes to lift your head to watch TV or read. Each room has its own bathroom for privacy. THE TUBS in two of the bathrooms are large enough to float in. The unit is very clean and even has a separate area for kids to play and watch tv. Check in was super easy. We didn't utilize the pool area, as it was a little cool. However, there is an indoor heated pool and hot tub. We were surprised with all the high-end amenities that the bathroom towel were small and cheap and did not absorb at all. However, that wasn't a huge deal. We still loved our stay and enjoyed ourselves.

Beach access is difficult. Front desk said there was handicap accessible beach access. No there is not. Able body people were having a hard time! We drove to a nearby beach. Dining room chairs need pads on the feet. Downstairs neighbor came up to tell us chairs are very loud. Coffee pot broken. We still had a great time.

Great experience but who is the property manager?

Property is exactly as the photos suggest—two awesome outdoor pools, including the lazy river. Great location next to a sandy beach area for easy access to the Gulf. Cleanliness of property and condo is five star. I definitely recommend to anyone coming to Galveston. However, there is a big confusion about who is the property manager of the condo—VRBO or Vacasa? VRBO likes to label certain properties as “ Super Host” properties because the owner carefully manages the property. This condo has has an absentee owner who uses Vacasa, located in Oregon, which refuses to answer any questions about the inside of the condo. Vacasa says renters must contact VRBO regarding any questions or deficiencies inside the condo unit. So who is really in charge of managing the property? This is a serious disconnect for renters. If renters have a problem, who do they contact?????

Pretty as a Picture

Really the pics don't do justice to how pretty this place is! Wonderful views, and the property was awesome. Wish I was still in that lazy river. Walk to the ocean. Great place for our family trip. We had 8 here and 3 family member next door. Nice memories. Only thing was the coffee pot did not work so I had to go buy one. No big deal, but they had one of those single cup Kurics which would not have worked for our bunch. We have coffee drinkers in the family.

Multi generation Family Vacation

We got there at exactly 4pm check in time after traveling over 2 hours to arrive. We were told our room would not be ready for at least an hour. We were tired and all wanted a cup of coffee and to be out of the car. Front desk offered nothing but an apology. I asked her if she could make coffee and she said not in the afternoon only in the morning. Management needs to address the inability of there staff to accommodate the guests especially for something so simple. I am telling you that a few cups of coffee would have changed everything at this time. I even expressed that to the lady and all she offered was an apology. She did finally give me some paperwork to fill out and return to begin the check in process. The process wasn't all bad, but we started out on the wrong foot. Then we finally get our room still wanting coffee, and the darn coffe maker doesn't work. Somebody had put the basket for the Keurig in the garbage disposal and ground it into pieces. Again, no help from the front desk, Vacasa, or management. We had to go to Walmart and buy a coffee maker. I left so many messages with Vacasa and no response from them at all. Management was there. I could see them in their office. The desk clerks said it is not their responsibility to take care of the things that don't work in a condo in their facility because they are privately owned. It does make sense, but Again hospitality is their game I thought. Other than that, the accommodations of the condo were nice
