There were a few prior reviews mentioning the dryer didn’t work. However, this seems to be resolved. Both washer and dryer worked well and appeared to be new units. They did provide dish soap and sponge for dishes since the dishwasher didn’t work. The amenities at the condo were great. The pool was still closed due to the storm cleanup, but the lazy river was open and so was the indoor pool which was nice. They had a great play area for my son and staff was very nice and helpful. Overall, this was a great place to stay and would definitely recommend. ##### Nicole H.

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. ##### Katrina S.

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. ##### Dewey E. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Laurie K. 29 Sept 2023 #### 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. ##### Laurie K.

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. ##### Valerie G. Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Andy S. 16 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great place but most appliances are broken Took the family to Galveston for beach vacation. Location was great. The condominium itself has great pools and amenities. Also great places right by where we were staying. The issue I had with the condo is that the dryer and dishwasher did not function at all. It’s hard to be with small kids when the dishwasher and dryer do not work. I checked other reviews and it seems both have been reported for months that they are broken but they have not been fixed. I wouldn’t think it would take months to replace a dryer and a dishwasher. They are also not expensive appliances so there really isn’t an excuse. My suggestion would be to avoid this rental since it doesn’t seem like the owner cares about this property and does not maintain it appropriately. Besides that it was good. ##### Andy S.

I would highly recommend staying here with only a few hiccups I wish we didn’t come across. First, the filter water from fridge had a terrible old taste to it like the filter had not been changed or something. Tasted mildew like so we had to go out and buy bottled water. Other big thing we thought shouldn’t have happened during our stay was that the living room, main tv only worked on one channel. Couldn’t get main bedroom tv to work either so called the number they listed for concerns, they sent someone out who also couldn’t get it to work. Fixed the bedroom tv but main living room never worked. This shouldn’t have happened. Other than that it is a gorgeous place to stay. ##### Ricky R.
