Diamond Beach Vacation Rentals

Holy wow this place is top notch! We've skipped around different Airbnbs when we're on the island, but not any more; this is it from now on! We were here in October, and we were kind of bummed the pool bar was closed for the season, but no big loss...just took our Yeti's to the pool. There were only a handful of folks there, which made the pool and lazy river nice. Our unit (314) was gorgeous! It was beautifully decorated and spotless.

LOVE the DIAMOND...and the lazy river pool. My family has rented a condo every year here...since 2013.

They have a game room but, I never go to it.
The Gulf of Mexico is outside your balcony and across the street by foot. The resort is about 8 miles from the downtown Strand area. It's quiet at Diamond Beach...no crazy parties and/loud music---thank the Lord!

They pride themselves on keeping it well maintained and clean. It's expensive...I could never afford it...to rent or own but, I'm glad my family is!! (High dollar place)

They come from Houston, Katy, Bellville, Beaumont and out of state from Canada, Louisiana, and Georgia.

I'm lucky enough to live across the street at Club of the Isle so, it's always convenient for me to go crash over there when they come.

Sooo, if you got the means to stay at Diamond Beach...do it.

Every year I keep note of the room...so far I've been in 513, 405 and 601.

Last year it was condo 708.

Tonight was room 808 (weird , huh?!)
We had a crawfish boil (Galveston Seafood on Harborside) with my first cousins...we got a growler from one of the local beer breweries, Island brewery on Stewart rd. And sat on the balcony under the stars!

Hella sweet!

Recently stayed here with my husband and two kids for vacation. This place was FANTASTIC! The pools were awesome. There are ton of great amenities and tons of things to do even when if it's raining. Make sure if you make an appointment at the spa for a great massage!

We had a great time! We went early in the season so the swim up bar and water slide weren't open. But we'll definitely be back next time later in the season!

We had a great time and can't wait to come back again!

This was our second time staying at Diamond Beach Resort (DBR). Our last visit was two years ago when the full amenities were available. Now with COVID know these MORE restrictions: no innertubes are provided (bring your own), pool bar is closed, hot tub by lazy river is not working, twisting water slide is closed, theatre is CLOSED, 3rd floor lounge is closed. The garage pad we were assigned for our condo didn't work - we had the front desk reprogram it and it still didn't work!! We had to park in the outside lot in triple degree temps and had lots of bird crap on our car the next morning. The pinball machine in the game room was out of order. Some of the umbrellas by the pool were missing their pin which keeps the umbrella open. The condo we rented was beautiful but the operations and maintenance of the DBR are subpar. At least the grounds are clean however, there was a crabby, rude old woman at the front desk with a bad attitude which detracted from a smooth check-in process when we arrived. Other employees were fine. Also during COVID, elevator is restricted to one family using it a time so anticipate longer wait times for elevators, especially on the higher floors.

This is a review of the resort only as our condo contact and accommodations were awesome. We were here for spring break and the weather wasn't optimal. Rain and cooler temps. The great thing about this resort is it has an indoor heated pool. BUT it's closed due to the damage from the bad weather last month. ETA unknown. What choice do we have?
Many things aren't open as this is definitely off
Season. Apparently why everyone goes to Florida!!

The icing on the cake is the staff and their lack of friendliness. My son brought us a snack and it was a plastic bowl for salsa and chips and the jar of salsa.
Not realizing it was a no no by the pool. I poured some in a bowl and had the jar out of the way (until we left). But when i walked away and came back I was asked if I was the person sitting by the pool with the jar of picante sauce. I said yes, he said it needs to go, I said yes and he said "like right now". He was crystal clear and short of sprinting I was in agreement. I wasn't upset, I can respect the rules and my bad, but give me a minute to get back to my chair and where I immediately disposed of it.
How about you fix the pool as quickly?! This is definitely not a spring break option for the future and I'm disappointed I was treated that way.
Thanks!!

We had an amazing time here, the resort is great, pools and lazy river are amazing and all of the things the resort offers are outstanding.

The ONLY drawback is the walk to the beach, for as high end as this resort seems, it would be improved by having some sort of boardwalk or some way to get to the beach other than the cattle trail. Was very difficult for our small kids to make the trek and even more difficult for dad here to haul all of the stuff to and from the room.

Absolutely amazing. This place is beautiful and well kept. We came to celebrate my birthday weekend with family flying in from Chicago and Washington and we were not disappointed. You cannot beat the view from the balcony. The lazy river was a blast! We spent most of the time for our vacation at the condo because there was so much to do and it was so much fun.

Our unit had a large balcony with 3 bedrooms and was very nicely decorated with a beach theme. It was cool to have the amenities of home (dishwasher, laundry, small kitchen appliances) when on a vacation. We rented out the theater room for 2 hours to watch a game. The surround sound was excellent and the seating was comfy. We also took advantage of the spacious workout room and game room. It was so nice that we didn't have to cough up change to play games or use tubes in the lazy river.

The water slide was not on during our stay, but we didn't miss it. The other oddity was that the bar wasn't always open. There's a sign in the elevator advertising happy hour from 4-7 every day and we only saw it open once during our 3 night stay.

Overall, we had a great time here and our expectations were blown away. We loved it. Check in was easy and the staff was mostly helpful.

Great place to vacation. The condos are individually owned, therefore you must go through a 3rd party to rent those that are available for renting. The amenities include; indoor game room, outdoor game area, huge outdoor pool (largest I have ever seen), large indoor pool, lazy river w/ swim up bar, hot tubs, water slide for the kids, sand volleyball, beach access, movie theater, workout facility with fabulous beach view, kids playroom, and indoor bar. All condos are 3 bedrooms, 2 bath with balcony facing the pool and beach (awesome view).

It's been a great experience staying here for the weekend. It has a beautiful view and access to the beach. The amenities it offers are of great quality (game room, theatre, gym) and the facilities are very clean and well kept. The only complaints I would have is that there entrance is not well lit, so it can be a hard place to turn into if you're driving in at night. Also, some of their other amenities such as their bar and spa are closed for unknown reasons. I also don't like the fact that the gym and indoor pool stay home all night, but the outdoor pool and theater and game room close around 11pm. Overall I would recommend this as a top notch place to stay if you're ever in the Galveston area.

We stayed here last weekend and loved it. Our rental was fresh and modern. It was very comfortable and clean. We had a view of the ocean and the amazing pool. But the best for the kids was by far the lazy river and waterslide. This property also has a workout room, theater you can rent and cabanas to rent. We'll be back.
