About this apartment rental
Owner-managed Caribbean beachfront resort conveniently located on the quiet West End of Galveston, directly on the beach (no crossing roads), best describes Diamond Beach. Our 2 bedroom/2 bath penthouse is located on the fifth floor at Diamond Beach Resort, which is unequivocally the preeminent resort in Galveston. We completed decorating recently. Diamond Beach Penthouse 5PH3 is a special vacation home for our family.
All of the condos at Diamond Beach have great views of the water but this is one of the few condos that has a view of the bay and the ocean. As you step inside the penthouse, you will be greeted by floor-to-ceiling windows with spectacular views of the Gulf of Mexico. When you open the sliding glass doors, you will step onto your private oversized balcony with a 180 degree view of the bay and the gorgeous Gulf waters. The balcony is a great place to sip a cup of coffee in the morning before everyone wakes up or have a nice tropical drink in the evening with your family and friends.
The master bedroom in the penthouse opens up to a spectacular view of the Gulf. The bedroom is an oasis for rest and relaxation, starting with its chandelier, deluxe king- size bed, and 55-inch flat screen TV. The bathroom contains a wonderful rain-shower. The bathroom also has his and her sinks.
The 2nd bedroom has a deluxe king size bed and a 43 inch flat screen TV. The 2nd bath is across from the guest bedroom. The penthouse is tiled with stone floor and a washer/dryer.
Need baby gear during your stay? Rent cribs, car seats, strollers, toys and more from BabyQuip! As seen on Shark Tank, BabyQuip offers clean, sanitized, and safe baby gear in over 1500+ cities! Visit https://www.babyquip.com?a=9e3a921 to make a reservation. (Arranged and paid for by the guest).
The penthouse comes with a fully equipped kitchen and has granite counter tops. You’ll have 180 degree views of the ocean as you prepare waffles for breakfast or eat your favorite take-out foods from the large selection of restaurants within a short distance of Diamond Beach. The dining table seats 4 and the counter-stools sit 3, which is where the kids like to sit.
Want to stream on your own devices or need to join a virtual meeting? The condo is equipped with its own, dedicated, secure, Xfinity WiFi modem up to 800 MBPS*, unlike your normal free open shared hotel wifi that has speeds up to 25 MBPS! *speeds may vary.
The living room has fantastic views of the ocean, a queen-sleeper sofa, and a brand new 75-inch flat screen LG smart TV. The condo sleeps 4-6 people.
Diamond Beach boasts of many amenities including:
Concierge: A concierge desk open 7 days a week from 7:00 am to 11:00 pm for your convenience with a staff knowledgeable regarding the island’s best attractions and restaurants.
Pools: Three pools consisting of a 750 ft. lazy river with a swim up bar (open on weekends during summer months), a gigantic 300 ft. tiered cascading pool (which contains a kids’ pool), and Galveston’s only indoor heated pool for year-round enjoyment. The pools have plenty of lounge chairs or, if you want something more private, you can rent a cabana for the day. IMPORTANT NOTES: 1. There is no longer a water slide in case you read it in older listings/reviews. 2. The indoor pool is the only heated pool. The outdoor pool and lazy river are not heated.
Poolside swim-up Bar: The pool bar is open Fri-Sun from Memorial Day to Labor day, and at other specified times. Check with the concierge for details.
Spa: Ruthy's Spa is open on the 4th floor. Book your appointment and relax with one of the many wonderful treatments.
Gym: The Look Better in Your Swimsuit Center (aka The Exercise Room). Nowhere where you will find a state-of-the art gym with beautiful views of the pools and the Gulf!
Game Room. Tabletop shuffleboard, foosball, pin ball machines, golf simulator, and billiards table for the kids and sometimes even parents get to play.
Cinema Room: If you are in the mood to go to the movies, all you need to do is step into the private theater room at Diamond Beach while you enjoy a bag of popcorn.
Kids Jungle Room: With its jungle murals, games, blocks, oversized bean bags and TV, this is the place to be for the hip toddler crowd.
Business Center: If you must work, at least you’ll have great views of the indoor pool and beach.
Vending Machine: A soda vending machine is located on-site for your convenience.
Beach Access: If you have time to go to the beach after doing all of the activities at Diamond Beach Resort, all you need to do is open the door on the property next to the lazy river, take the path to the left, and walk down to the beach. Diamond Beach is located just steps away from the beach. There’s no need to cross the road or jump in the car. NOTE: There is only a path to the beach that is not conducive for wagons, or those with limited mobility.
FREE SECURED underground covered Garage Parking (1 vehicle) and FREE (Open) Outdoor Parking (1 vehicle); 2 vehicles maximum. Note parking may be limited during high-demand periods.
Diamond Beach is near everything. Just a few minutes car drive from: (i) entertainment (Moody Gardens; Miniature Golf; Schlitterbahn Waterpark; The Stand; Railroad Museum); (ii) golf courses (Moody Gardens Golf Course and Galveston Country Club), (iii) recreational activities (Seaside Bicycle Rentals; fishing for speckled trout, redfish, founder, golden croaker); bird watching (3/4 of all North American species travel through Galveston during fall and spring migration), (iv) restaurants (everything from McDonald’s to Gaido’s), and (v) lots of shopping.

I would recommend this place to anyone. It is in a perfect place to get away. Close to Galveston but yet out of the crowd. Enjoyed waking up having coffee sitting on the deck watching dolphins play. The lazy river was relaxing after a day on the beach.

We absolutely loved our stay at Diamond Beach Penthouse. The property was beautiful and clean with a great view. We were a little nervous about being overcrowded on a holiday weekend, but the property was so big and so much to do that we never felt overwhelmed by people. It was a very relaxing stay for us and we hated to leave. Owner was great to deal with. Would highly recommend a stay here.

5.0
Our unit was beautifully decorated and has a great oversized balcony.
The public areas are very well maintained.
My only complaint is with the building not the unit.
There is no easy access to the beach, which should be a major selling point. Why is there not a nice wooden walkway to the beach as other properties have? Otherwise, a wonderful time and fabulous unit.
5.0
We can say we used 90% of the amenities. The beach, the pools, the grilling outside, games, media room, gym, and the awesome staff. Our boys 9 and 7 and little girl 3 had so much fun. The rooms were open, clean and the views of the ocean were great for memories. The owner Maria was very quick to answer text/call. I like the no smoking/pet free environment. The kitchen had everything we needed. Everything included with this vrbo and so much more. You will enjoy this location.

The property was perfect for our family of 3 adults. The living area is extra l spacious and the deck was wonderful. Even had shade in the evening. Very relaxing views of the west beach and sunset. Enjoyed our coffee out there every morning.
The owner was very responsive to us. Building had some renovations going on and she was able to get them to delay their start time in the morning.
Hope to be back next year! Thank you for a wonderful vacation

This is our favorite getaway place, the property and condo always very well maintained. The TV system needs some help, TV in living area stopped working, TV in master bedroom only one channel, guest room no picture and rain shower head not working properly in master bath. Thanks Gary Childs

Amazing location and great communication with owner of property. We would love to stay here again.

We loved the pool and lazy river, but wish the beach access was better. The small trail is very narrow and through the dunes which is dangerous and slippery.
The condo was equipped with all we needed and very clean.
5.0
Nice place to stay, but it needs a little maintenance. The shower handle felt like it was going to fall off and the exhaust vent in the second bathroom didn't work, nor did the blow dryer. There was peeling paint in the main bathroom and the closet door was broken. The few towels they supplied were low end hotel quality and there wasn't any place to unpack and put your suitcase except the closet floor. The patio looks nice, but wasn't really useable due to the constantly damp cushions and bird droppings. You can't control nature, but furniture without cushions would be more functional. However, the property was very nice, amenities were good and the location was really good. Overall, I'd give it a B+, but it could have been an A with a little more attention to detail.
5.0
The property and amenities were very nice. Balcony had an excellent view. It was nice having garage parking as it did rain one of the mornings we were there.
5.0
We booked this property for a short get away with the family. It was by far the nicest place we’ve stayed on the island. The amenities on the property are top-notch, and the property manager is very accommodating and communicative.

Great spot at the very west end of the Galveston, convenient to everything. This condo has a very relaxing effect and Diamond Beach has much to offer to all ages with it's indoor pool, outdoor pool/lazy river, huge and well equipped gym and an endless beach.

5.0
Property was as advertised. Had a great view and lots of amenities. Close enough to easily get to the islands attractions.
5.0
Gorgeous condo with a spectacular view! We literally gasped with delight when we arrived. Comfy beds and lovely furnishings. The pictures don't do it justice- it was super duper nice. We took in all of the Galveston activities and then spent one entire day just enjoying the resort amenities and beach. Kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need. There is a Kroger very close by that can deliver groceries.
The property is super safe and in an ideal location, just clear of the chaos but still very centrally located. The property has a really cool game room and a luxurious private theater you can reserve (free). The pools and hot tubs are amazing. Lots of shady spots if that is important to you. Just a really great experience overall. Thank you!

Loved the condo. Close to elevator. Killer sunset views
The checkin and checkout process was easy. We were allowed to checkin early because the cleanup crew had finished early.
We have booked this same property for summer and are really looking forward to it.
Thank you Maria !
