Relax in this sixth-floor oceanfront vacation rental with wide-open Gulf views, huge pools, a long lazy river, a water slide, and hot tubs. Diamond Beach Resort is known for its manicured landscaping, upscale amenities, large gym, free game room, free kid's playroom, theater room, and business center.

This beautiful, beachfront condo features a spacious living room overlooking the Gulf with brand new leather reclining furniture. The open floor plan includes a modern kitchen equipped with new utensils and LED lighting, plus a lovely dining area. The inviting primary bedroom features a comfortable king sized bed, a perfect spot after a long day at the beach. Enjoy the brand-new electric heating fireplace. Also featured are smart TVs with gaming consoles and apps such as Prime and Netflix and a furnished balcony accessed from the kitchen area. This private outdoor space offers cool sea breezes.

When you want to break away from the resort pools and see what Galveston offers, you won't be at a loss for things to do. Named one of the Top 10 Summer Destinations, Galveston offers everything from first-class museums and galleries to parks and historic sites, making this thriving island city a prime choice for travelers. You'll also find plenty of world-class cuisine here, some of which offer Gulf-view vistas right on the sand. And be sure to visit the Strand, Galveston's historic, 70-block downtown area, where you'll find unique shops, galleries, antique shops, and more.

This home gave us a wonderful time staying in Galveston with an excellent view of the ocean. The house was very nice and bright. The furniture, appliances and decorations were top classes. We definitely like to stay here again next time visiting Galveston. Hopefully soon.

Great property with very nice amenities. A little off the busy part of the Seawall, but close enough to be convenient. Great little restaurant for take out directly across the street (Seahorse Grill).

Nice Condo
Nice condo, clean upon arrival. Toiletries were a bit on the cheap side with one-ply toilet paper and no Kleenex. 10am check out is a bit excessive and not flexible when requesting later checkout.

Great location!
This place was beautiful! Great location as promised! The lazy river and pool were both cold but that’s not the condo owners fault. The only thing we wish we knew earlier was that there was another elevator that goes right to the parking garage. The condo itself was stocked with everything we needed for a great stay! Highly recommend!

Diamond Beach
This is a beautiful property in a great location. The Lazy River is the longest I have ever seen and the pools were beautiful. We could easily walk to the ocean and enjoy the great waves. The condo needs a new coffee maker (leaked at the bottom) and the dishwasher has a rubber lining that needs to be replaced. It was clean and really fun though!

It would be a great place if Vacasa wasn't involved
This is a great property. It's clean. The premises is great. The only thing wrong with it is Vacasa managing it. Vacasa's check-in process and communication is an absolute dumpster fire. To make this property perfect would be the owners getting rid of Vacasa and finding someone local that is more involved.

Needs work for the price point
If you are begging to go to Galveston and need to stay at Diamond beach club because your life depends on it, and this is the only one left, then this would be the only time you should rent this unit at this price point. The bed in the master bedroom is actually a double, not a queen as advertised. There are no pans to cook with, so bring your own. Very ragged and sad couches, pillows and rug- feels like they were bought at Salvation Army. It is impossible to get ahold of Vacasa to discuss anything with them. We have stayed at Diamond beach club for years, usually 1-2 times per year and this is the worst unit we’ve ever rented. If it was maybe $250/night, then it would make more sense. But after taxes, fees etc, you’re paying $1k a night for this unit. It’s just not worth it. Look elsewhere.

Great property, but Vacasa is horrible
The property was beautiful, but we will never work with Vacasa again. I called multiple times, but there was ALWAYS a 1-2 hour wait time for customer service. I tried emailing twice, with NO reply. The property was listed as 2 1/2 baths but only had 2. With 4 teenagers, we had really counted on the extra bathroom. We also needed to use the pullout sofa in the living room, but there was not one single extra pillow, blanket, or even a set of sheets in the condo. We had to use bath towels. Ridiculous that we could not get a hold of anyone. Renting with VRBO was always great, but this new Vacasa is terrible!

Great for Families
Shines Like a Diamond #604 is a very cute condo. The resort amenities are great for kids (and adults)! Overall we had a great time and would rent the unit again. Unit could use some improvements, like locks on the bedroom and bathroom doors (you CANNOT un-see grandpa on the toilet). Master room has a great bathroom, but the toilet has no privacy door. The ice maker only made 4 pieces of ice in 4 days. Would be nice if there were plastic cups/plates for kids and a beach bag or wagon. It's a long walk to the beach. Great job on the number of towels and pillows in the unit. The unit needs a broom and mop available for use. No way to clean up after yourself. Resort has a wonderful lazy river, 2 pools, 2 hot tubs, free arcade, indoor and outdoor game area. The swim up bar is nice, but the bar tenders seemed more interested in being on their phones than working. Resort grounds are kept super clean. The lead security guard is GREAT! He doubled as the concierge and practically worked 24/7.

The Diamond Shined!!
Our stay! We were so excited about about stay. Looked forward to this stay for a long time. Had a few cons.. but overall it was a great stay. Before our arrival we received a text, Then we arrived at check in time but room wasn’t available. We waited around in hall way. The resort inside, hallways, entertainment room, fitness center, ext. was clean. Entering our room it was clean. There were some small areas that could have used cleaning. The unit has a locked AC system. It doesn’t come down no lower than 70 degrees. The first night it was very warm, uncomfortable to sleeWe asked for fans but none available. There is a coffee pot but not a Keurig pod coffee pot. There is small amounts of Dove shampoo and conditioner and tiny dove soup bars and one washing liquid pod for washing clothing. (Which we had brought our own supplies.) two dishwashers pods and dish liquid. Plenty of wash cloths and towels. There are no throw blankets in the living area. But pillows. Nice small patio area with patio furniture. The wide open glass windows help you enjoy the beach view at all times in the kitchen or living area. The beautiful pool area is nice. Needs some cleaning up around the pools and cabanas. The lazy river was relaxing and enjoyable. Could use some trimming of the trees around it. The white slide is not available to use. In the evening the mosquitoes are real bad. Enjoy spa time. The staff were very nice and helpful. Our stay above all was a great experience.

Nice views from the condo about five miles from the pleasure pier
Nice views of the beach from the condo. The condo was clean but few issues with appliances. I noted here someone staying preciously mentioned about the dishwasher rubber tubing off from inside the door, this issue still hasn’t been fixed and it’s almost off, there also seems to be damage on the inside bottom door so we didn’t use it. The toaster had steel wire coming up from the center that goes inside and again we didn’t use it. It was a nice condo but there was no hangers in the main bedroom and two in the bedroom with the bunk beds. For the cost per night I think the appliances should be fixed or replaced. Overall the complex is was nice and we enjoyed our stay.
