Great place, great owner

Our 4th time in this building, all in different units. This was one of our favorites. By far the most communicative and helpful owner and the only one I recall reaching out to us beforehand to see if we had any questions prior to our stay. Spacious common room and wonderful views.

Breathtaking View

The location of this unit is amazing. Sunrise can be viewed from the bedrooms. The common areas are spacious. This is the 3rd time we’ve stayed at Diamond Beach Resort, and this unit has the best view. Even the paintings inside are very calming. Gigi Reese is an amazing artist and very hospitable host. Thank you!

Can’t imagine better views!

Beautiful place with incredible views from inside and patio of condo. They provided everything we needed in the kitchen plus 6 beach towels plus some toiletry items. The owner is excellent to work with and really wants you to enjoy your stay. The pools and lazy river were so nice and open until midnight with low lighting at night that provides a cool, relaxed and even romantic vibe. We ended up always using the pool/river at night and the entrance to the slide was always locked for some reason…not sure why. It also wasn’t very busy in the evening (end of July) which was nice. You can’t beat the location as it is the closest beachfront option close to the main Galveston strip. The actual sand beach is actually just at the west end of the resort and the whole southern facing side overlooks a narrow city parking lot that meets the water with big rock boulders. You do feel like you are right on the ocean as far as sitting out looking at waves come in. Oh and the art throughout the condo is beautiful and was painted by the owner…pretty cool. We feel like we found a great place and plan to go back!

Relaxing Getaway

The owner was amazingly helpful and friendly. The condo is well stocked with kitchen and bathroom supplies. It is quiet, peaceful and private since it is on the corner of the building. Loved leaving the bedroom window curtains slightly open so that we awaken too the light of the morning sunrise off the beach. Then taking morning coffee out on the balcony too watch the sunrise and listen to the waves, doesn't get any better. 100% will visit again

Excellent stay at Diamond Beach

We really enjoyed our time. The property has several amenities that make it perfect for families. We loved the lazy river and the pools. The beach is a very short walk and overall is likely not that much further than walking across the road at the seawall, just much safer. Gigi was wonderful to work with and her place was very nice. Great stay!
