We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The hosts were great and quick to respond to questions. Condo was clean and well-appointed. Walking access to the beach without having to cross Seawall Blvd was great! Floating the lazy river every evening was the perfect way to unwind, and the massive pool was lovely as well. The hot tubs are large so it wasn’t awkward being in there with strangers. We hope to return!

Lovely Condo in Galveston

We had a great time over a long 4th of July weekend. The condo is very clean, and the check in process was easy. The owners checked in with us frequently, and all instructions were printed clearly in advance - we didn't have any issues at all throughout our stay. The property itself is very nice, and I was impressed with the service levels of the staff at the property - friendly and fast. Nice, clean, and comfortable bed, bath, and kitchen (with a view of the waves on the beach from the kitchen and living room).

My husband and I decided on a last minute trip to Galveston and we were very excited about our stay. The lazy river was what caught my attention when I first booked it. Overall, the condo was clean and homey. If we are to ever go back to Galveston, this will be our go-to stay.

Excellent Stay- Awesome Owners

We had a wonderful stay! Condo was very clean and perfect size for a couple getaway. Owners were extremely easy to work with and very communicative. They had easy check in/ check out instructions and checked in with us a couple times to ensure our stay was going perfect. They even gave us a welcome basket. The Diamond Beach property was also well maintained and not overly crowded during early May. Can’t wait to stay here again!

Amazing Property!

Very clean, comfortable bed, owner was very attentive, every need was provided for us such as: laundry soap, paper towels, baggies, foil, beach towels, etc. Property was beautiful. The game room, theater and indoor pool were great on rainy days. The outdoor pool and lazy river were never too crowded. Easy beach access. We loved our stay and will definitely be back.

Fabulous condo at Diamond Beach!

We had such a lovely stay at this Diamond Beach condo! Cute place with a really nice view of the ocean and lazy river. Plus watching the pelicans fly by all day is such a treat. The owners are wonderful and arranged an early check in for us to accommodate our schedule…..plus when we arrived there was a welcome gift basket filled with goodies! The condo was very clean and smelled great. We will definitely be back!

Excellent beach vacation!!

This property was absolutely perfect for our family beach vacation. The condo was perfectly equipped with everything we needed and then some! The pools and lazy river were a huge hit with our kiddos. There was easy access to the beach from the property. Our view from the 7th floor was breathtaking. The owners checked in on us and gave some great recommendations along with a special sweet treat for the kiddos! 5 stars all around!

27th Wedding Anniversary

We enjoyed our short stay at this rental celebrating our 27th wedding anniversary (38yrs together). It was so great to just get away from work and stress for a weekend. The rental was perfect and extremely comfortable. It had more amenities than we needed. We had reservations at some of the best resteraunts, but chose to stay-in and order DoorDash because it was so relaxing. The Beach is a short walk with a private access path and the pool, hot tub and lazy river were phenomenal. View of beach and sound of waves is exactly what we needed! So grateful to the Hosts for being so attentive and we hope to go back soon!

Our daughter and her boyfriend (now finance) stayed the weekend, they were welcomed with a welcome basket. When they become engaged, they received a bottle of champagne. Jonathan and Janice went above and beyond. Our daughter said the condo was beautiful, and the view was amazing. My husband and I can't wait to book a weekend!! Thank you once again for being super hosts and taking care of our daughter!!

Do NOT recommend

We ended up not even staying at this property. The owner’s description of the “expansive views of the beach” from the private balcony are not true. The Juliet balcony was maybe 5-6 feet across and enclosed in a corner of the building. While the unit itself was decorated well, there are literally no windows at all, other than the glass door to the small balcony. The owner supplied his cell number and was fairly responsive until I expressed concern. He then did not respond at all. Lastly, he kindly offered to leave us an island treat or drink, which was not there when we checked in. If you care at all about views of the beach, do not recommend.

Great location if as a smart grandparent you know your grandchildren will ultimately prefer the pool over the beach. Plenty of shallow water swimming pool area on property.Safe, easy access to beach for sunrise/sunset walks before it gets too hot for the little ones. Seahorse grill walking distance (across busy street) offer reasonably priced breakfast, lunch and dinner for all ages and is actually pretty good made to order comfort food.
