Sisters getaway and we had a GREAT time. I’ve stayed in many VRBO units and no doubt this is one of the best. Our condo had super cute decor & was super clean. Very well supplied. Comfortable beds, plenty of towels and even beach towels. Kitchen met our every need. Living area was very comfortable. Balcony wasn’t super large (seating for 5) but clean cushioned chairs, rug, pillows. Overlooked gorgeous pool with a fantastic gulf view. The property is safe and well maintained. Nice helpful staff and the amenities are top notch. Our 3rd time at Diamond Beach Resort and definitely won’t be our last.
Just can’t brag on this place enough!

We had a great time here. The only reason for 4 stars was that the main pool was closed due to hurricane damage. Not a huge deal, since the lazy river and indoor pool were still working, but we were not given a heads-up and this was one of the big reasons we booked this resort. Otherwise, it was great!

The condo itself was beautiful with a great view of the ocean. The lack of amenities was disappointing.

It was a beautiful facility with lots of very wonderful pools that were all closed because of the hurricane possible roof tile damage. The Lazy River was open, but there were several lights that did not work under water and when we went at night, it was dark in some places. The indoor pool was very nice. The rooms were beautiful. The big drawback was the access to the beach was too difficult to get to if you have any trouble walking like my mom where we rented a beach wheelchair. There was a 3 1/2 foot dirt drop off to get to the beach and we could not take her. They should build a ramp.

The condo is beautiful. Perfect view. It was warm in the condo and Vacasa provided an extra fan. The condo had nice amenities. There was not a swim up bar and the slide we never saw and was not in use, per other guest. The gameroom was cool as well as the relaxing lazy river. The hot tub was perfect temperature. My husband did fall down a few stairs during our stay and the front desk person seem to careless. Other then that the condo was nice. By the way the outdoor gate to the public is not locked and anyone can walk in.

The balcony door would not open at all the first night. When we brought it up to staff on site they informed us to call Vacasa. The front staff was very nice and John even came up and tried to get the door open with my husband and could not. When I called Vacasa they said they would send someone out that night.. it turned into the following evening of still no balcony access. The guy finally was able to get it open but said it was very tough and had been there before and still it hadn't been replaced with owners. If it wasn't for my husband there I would not be able to open the door.
The diamond beach staff John was very helpful. Everyone at Vacasa always had excuses or said someone would help and they have not. I've reached out multiple times to try to get a partial refund since we were not able to enjoy the balcony that we paid dearly for and still they have yet to respond with an answer.
The condo itself was nice besides the problem of the balcony, great view! The owners have it furnished nicely. We did have a leak and j the second bathroom coming from ceiling and was told to just put a bucket under for the condensation.
Overall, we enjoyed but really missed out on the balcony and wish we could get some answers.

I researched several reviews of condos within the Diamond Beach complex and am so glad we booked this one. Listing & pictures were exactly as expected and suited our family of 5 well. The pools, lazy river & beach were a hit and indoor pool was warm when the weather was cooler. Thanks for allowing our family to make memories for spring break!

Our family lost our monarch in early October then our youngest son had to have a hip replacement so we truly needed some RR and found it here. There are so many things to do on the property coupled with just watching and hearing the ocean. Our stay was a 10.

Our family of 17 stayed at Diamond Beach Resort (in multiple condos) over Thanksgiving week. The resort was wonderful and everyone was so helpful. We enjoyed the hot tubs, private theater, game room, gym, etc. The condo itself was well stocked with everything we needed and was very comfortable. We’re already talking about coming back next year! Thanks for allowing us to use your beautiful place!

The condo was perfect for our recent stay in Galveston. Super comfy furniture and beds. When a minor issue came up, Vacasa was quick to respond to make things right. As we are from Houston, will definitely be renting this condo again in the future.

Sofa, Dining Chairs, Living Room Pillows and Outdoor Cushions were very stained and needed a deep cleaning or replaced. Mattresses in Bedroom 3 with the bunk bed had plastic protectors on them that made a very loud sound every time you moved making it hard to stay asleep. 2nd Bath sink had no drain stopper which made it very nerve racking to rinse contacts. Trash can bin lid in kitchen wouldn’t close. I have stayed at other units in this resort and found them cleaner.

We loved the condo. My kids all had plenty of room and we loved the master bathroom. Galveston was windy this week, but we found plenty to do.

We stayed at this property during our winter break. We caught a great stretch of weather so we were able to enjoy the beach and some of us the ocean. The condo is as described, owners are very responsive. The kids enjoyed the free game room, the adults as well. Golden Tee was a hit ( not shown in pictures). We reserved the movie room one night which was fun and went in the indoor pool & hot tub every day.
There is a strip mall across the street with a great restaurant (Seafood Grille) , bar and a coffee shop.
Condo was very clean, lots of kitchen supplies and enough TP and paper towels for the 3 night stay. It could have easily housed another family with a huge bunk bed in one room. Would highly recommend, great stay!

Overall good experience. Convenient location for what we were traveling to Galveston for. Clean condo upon arrival. Would stay here again.

This condo was represented well by the pictures. It was very nice and mattresses were super comfortable. Unfortunately, most of the kitchen blenders, food processors, etc. did not work. Not a problem if you weren’t planning to cook. The oven worked OK just ran hot. Stove top worked fine. The description says they provide towels but they only provide bath towels and not enough for the total number of people staying. Bring your own beach towels! Bring your own pool towels!

Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this unit and have stayed in many at diamond Beach. If you plan on doing most of your cooking at the condo this is the place for you. Kitchen was so very well stocked with all appliances dishes pans bowls etc.
It’s taken care of by Vacasa so be sure and bring your own laundry detergent dishwashing stuff, paper towels and tissue. They leave enough to get through the first days.
Internet and cable were excellent. TV in every room. Beds could use a few more pillows but are comfortable.
Diamond beach provides carts to unload your car and roll all the way to the condo front door. AWESOME
Diamond Beach has a large playroom for the younger children and the indoor heated pool at winter was perfection. Diamond Beach has added an arcade room which we used every night. They also have a large theater room that you can pick one of their movies and a time and they will put it on for you and your family.
We will be back to this unit!

We really enjoyed staying at this property. We were visiting with my two children and mother in law. The condominiums are wonderful and we were able to enjoy many of the amenities, including the outdoor pool! The only complaint I have about this particular unit is that the sliding glass door to the balcony did not have a lock on it and the vertical blinds that covered the door were broken so we were not able to open them. We were having to go through them to get on the balcony, and were constantly keeping two toddlers out of them. The lock on the door is a huge liability issue. We let the property management company know about this as soon as we got to the unit, and unfortunately were told they could not address it until the day we checked out. They did send someone to look at the problem, but it was never resolved. The only other thing that bothered me was there was no hand soap in the unit at any of the sinks, and the bedding could be updated. Not a necessity, but always a nice touch, especially when staying at a property as nice as this one.

There were four women on this trip. Our condo was very comfortable and well decorated. The views of the gulf and pool area from inside and on the balcony were great. Beds were comfortable as well as the couches and chairs. The kitchen was well stocked. We would have appreciated a sponge or wash cloth in the kitchen. The place was very clean.
. Diamond Beach Resort was nice. There are several extras but we mainly stayed in our condo since it was November.
We would definitely rent this condo again.

The view was fantastic the condo was roomy and well furnished. The only negative thing is there are some stains on patio cushions and dining chairs that need cleaning. Except for that I loved it. 2 coffee makers a drip and kpod was great. Kitchen was well stocked. Ice maker worked. Washer/dryer a plus. Free arcade machines and pinball fun. Inside pool great due to raining weather conditions. Location and price a terrific bonus

My family and I recently stayed 3 nights. The condo was exceptional as was the entire resort. The condo was very clean and comfortable. We really enjoyed the huge outdoor pool and lazy river. Beach access was an easy short walk. My grandson loved the game room. We have stayed at a lot of different condos and hotels when visiting Galveston and this place is the best. Look forward to next year.

This was our first time visiting Diamond Beach. Our unit was beautiful and well appointed, not one complaint about this unit.
The lazy river was amazing and enjoyed by all, The pool is gorgeous and so big you can almost always have a spot pretty much to yourself. It is a little more pricey than we are used paying on the east end of the beach where we usually stay but the ameneties make it well worth the extra money.
8.0
This condo was gorgeous and very well appointed. It was clean upon arrival and had everything we needed for a short stay.
Pros: A large 6-seat dining table and plenty of couch/loveseat/chair seating in the living room. Beds were comfortable. Two large bathtubs. Resort is gorgeous with awesome pools and easy walking access to the beach.
Cons: Nothing negative about the condo or property except that the water slide at the pool was never opened during our stay. The kids were disappointed in that.
Otherwise it was an incredible stay!
