Diamond Beach Resort: Escape #516

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Vacation with peace of mind at Diamond Beach! This beautiful, Gulf-front condo offers views of the water, a private balcony, and a deluxe swimming pool with a hot tub and winding waterslides. Spend your days soaking up the sunshine and walking down the sandy beach just below.

After a fun-filled day in the sand, the kitchen makes it easy to cook your favorite meals and settle down for the night. Pop some popcorn and watch a movie on TV. Don't worry about sandy clothes, as this condo also has a private washer/dryer! Falling asleep is always a breeze, because the tide will lull you to sleep.

When you're not out on the beach, visit The Strand Historic District to shop, dine, and tour the museums and galleries. Those looking for outdoor adventure can head over to Moody Gardens to learn about exotic marine life, hit the waterslides at Schlitterbahn Waterpark, or step onto Galveston Island Historic Pleasure Pier for all sorts of fun. You can also try your luck at fishing off of Galveston Fishing Pier with the locals!

Birthday getaway
My husband and I stayed for a birthday getaway. The views are spectacular and the resort makes it easy to relax. Beach access if you have issues walking is a bit difficult, staff was friendly. Beds were comfortable and easy ride down to the main Seawall.

We really enjoyed our stay here. Kids loved the bunk bed/trundle combo. Enough family-friendly amenities, you don't have to leave the resort unless you want to. Highly recommend.

Nice place with a few flaws
The building was nice and condo was nice however the condo itself had issues. The building bar and restaurant were never open and some staff were very rude.

Great option for Galveston
Loved the lazy River and pool areas. As mentioned in other reviews, the window shades are broken and door to balcony does not lock. Not issues for us and we had a good time. Not crowded at all after Labor Day.

Great place to stay
This was a perfect little place to stay and highly recomend. The accomedations at the resort we amazing, just wish it was warm enough for the lazy river/outdoor pool. My only issue (which could have been avoided if I would have reached out) was the thermostate would not hold at the lower temp we wanted and we would get really warm overnight and we would have to turn it down over and over. But again, probably could have been resolved easily. We recommend and would stay again.

Galveston Getaway
The Diamond Beach property was a great choice for our 3 day stay in Galveston. The condo was beautiful, clean and very comfortable. The pools and lazy river were wonderful and we had so much fun in the game room. The location and view were perfect! Only a few drawbacks… there was no dishwasher and there is a really nice soaker tub but it was broken (had to use the shower instead.) Still, I would definitely recommend the property to others who will be visiting the area.

Beachfront Condo
The condo and resort was clean and quiet. The pool area was great also. Condo was stocked with everything promised except beach chairs. There was only 1 for the 2 of us and after calling Vacasa to ask for another we were assured someone locally would be bringing one. That did not happen so it put a damper on our beach time.

Spring Break Recharge
This condo was prefect for our family of 3 for a Spring Break get away. We played on the beach, enjoyed the hot tubs, and splashed in the indoor heated pool as the outdoor water was still a bit chilly in March. The game room was a great escape for the kiddo and the location was conveniently located near Moody Gardens, restaurants, and the Sea Wall. The beds were most comfortable and the living spaces were also comfortable and welcoming. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home away from home with us!

We absolutely loved the swimming area! The first impression to our condo was damaged by serious pot smell and dishwasher door was broken and unsafe! Along with the patio table being broken and falling apart, it too was unsafe. Other than these issues, we had a great time in Galveston!!

Weekend trip
Booked this property based off of a friends recommendation. Great location, loved the view. We did enjoy the condo, even thought the dishwasher was broken, the towels were gross, and there was a faint, unpleasant smell when walking through the front door. The pool and lazy river are amazing, however there were very view floats available for the lazy river. The swim-up bar was only open for a few hours during the 3 days that we were there. The water slide was not open at all. Would stay at this property again.

Diamond Beach: A hidden Diamond in the rough!
My husband Jason and I absolutely LOVED EVERYTHING within this resort! This was our very first time visiting Diamond Beach Resort. We stayed a whole week and there was never a dull or boring moment. There's numerous amenities on and inside of the property that appeals to all ages. My all-time favorite thing that I did while we were there was soaking in the hot tub! Sitting on the patio watching and listening to the lull of the waves and watching the sea gulls was so peaceful, tranquil and relaxing. We also enjoyed exercising and working out in the gym. The washer and dryer within the condo is a wonderful addition, especially knowing the fact that you can leave with clean clothes on the way home. Everything (from the time we arrived at Diamond Beach to the time we departed) was of the utmost excellence and quality. We will definitely be returning again very soon with our 16 year old son, Josh for the summer.

Christmas Retreat
My wife and I visited Galveston during our Christmas break. 516 was beautiful and met all our needs. The views from the balcony were breathtaking, as well were the views from the well appointed kitchen and comfortable living room. The condo had everything we needed for our stay as far as cleaning supplies, cookware, extra pillows and blankets, etc. the condo is in the perfect location on the seawall away from the bustle of the touristy portion of Galveston but still within a 5-10 min scenic drive to The Strand, historic downtown, Moody Gardens, Pleasure Pier and the other attractions of Galveston. The property has many amenities such as an indoor poor and a huge outdoor pool overlooking the Gulf. Parking is easy and secure. We loved our stay, and we are already looking at what dates in 2024 we can return.

Best place to stay in Galveston!
This was the perfect spot for 3 adults to stay and enjoy all the amenities that Diamond Beach offers. You can watch the sunrise from the condo, you can access the beach, enjoy the lazy river and pools and you aren’t too far from the Galveston attractions. The master bedroom king bed is the most comfortable bed we have ever had in a condo rental. The resort was nearly empty due to it being off season and we loved the quiet and peace. The recliners in the living room were so relaxing and the view out the window was awesome. The sinks in the bathrooms are really high for a short person like us. The tile floor in the master shower is extremely slick, slippery and dangerous. Although the shower itself is big and has 2 shower heads. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and would rent this exact condo again.
