Besides all this property has to offer (amazing views, parking, beachside, lazy river, indoor and outdoor pools, pool bar, game and movie room, and kids zone), our stay was made special because we had an owner who obviously loves his property and goes above and beyond to make sure you have the best stay possible.

We stayed here to get away from the Chicago winter. The picture of the view and the “penthouse” in the description got our attention and we booked it. This place exceeded our expectations. Everything about this property from the location to the unit to the swimming pools and lazy river were exceptional. It felt more like a resort. The owner is meticulous and really has dialed in every aspect of the living experience. We would highly recommend this rental. We have shared it with our friends and family and look forward to going back next year. ##### Syed Q.

The condo was lovely and it had all the facilities one could imagine. The beds from mattresses to linens are very comfortable. You wake up to a gorgeous view of the ocean and can enjoy coffee to a an afternoon cocktail on the beautiful furnished patio. We will definitely contact Aaron for a future visit. From security to amenities the pools, lazy river, and hot tubs were all there to enjoy. Aaron was a gracious host and checked to see that we were satisfied and left contact information if we needed anything during our stay. I would highly recommend this condo if you’re looking for a safe, well maintained condo with many options offered. Sincerely, Georgene ##### Georgene S.

The entire unit was very clean and well maintained. In spite of the weather during our stay, we had a terrific family vacation. Our host was prompt in all responses and took great care of us. ##### Sharon M.

We came to celebrate my 65th birthday and was delighted with everything about this condo and the owner. Communication began from the minute we booked and continued throughout the stay if needed. The unit was beautiful supplying everything we could want or need. The Diamond Beach grounds are amazing. It felt like a tropical paradise from the pool to the lazy river and beach. The view is fantastic. We enjoyed watching the birds, boats and even dolphins from the balcony. We have decided birthday at the beach in 5PH3 is going to become an annual even! Thanks for sharing your lovely vacation home with us!! ##### Michelle J.

My stay at this beach house condo was absolutely perfect. The location couldn’t be better—right on the beach with stunning ocean views from every room. The condo was immaculately clean and well-maintained, with modern amenities and tasteful decor that made it feel like a true home away from home. The spacious living area and fully equipped kitchen made it easy to relax and enjoy meals. The host was incredibly responsive and thoughtful, providing detailed information about the condo and surrounding area, which helped us make the most of our stay. Whether you’re looking to relax by the beach, explore local attractions, or simply unwind, this condo offers everything you need for a perfect vacation. I can’t recommend this beach house condo highly enough—it exceeded all of our expectations and made for an unforgettable experience. We can’t wait to return! ##### Brittany L.

The place was very clean, had plenty of pots, pans, dishes, silverware for our stay. The beds were VERY comfortable. The Master Bath shower was fantastic - my son wants a rain shower now (lol). The clothes washer & dryer worked very well. Dishwasher was super quiet and appears new. Refrigerator & Freezer were super clean and worked great. There were adequate towels - but - could have used more if more guests were staying. The Washer Dryer took care of the issue, so I don't look at as a negative. I will definitely look to stay in this unit again (this is my 2nd time at the Diamond Beach Condos - this is the best of the two. Views were amazing. Neighbors were very quite. I loved our stay!! Owner/Property manager provided all the information we needed and answered several of our questions right away. Great communicator ! ##### GWYNDOLYN J.

You can sit on the large patio and watch the pelicans and birds flying just above. There were 6 of us and we loved this stay! The two chaise lounge chairs were good to sleep on too as we all had a few naps on them! The outdoors area is large and we could all relax there easily. Access to the beach was easy. All the amenities you could want are there at Diamond Beach. The only thing I would have liked it a rectangular table that sat all 6 of us. We played games (4 people) so the round was good for that. The lazy river was good but the hot tub was even better. Because our winds were 27mph with a 39mph gust, (good Ole Mother Nature at her finest), the hot tub sits back from the pool and is shielded from the winds. It was a perfect temperature an clean. The whole area is very clean and kept in good standings. I noticed they even got new floats for the lazy river. The old ones from last year were black and very large. Rubbed the back of my heel but the new ones are just perfect for any sized person. The communication was Superior and Aaron was very quick to respond to any of my questions. He is a good Host and has a lovely penthouse. Nothing could have been better. Thank you for sharing your lovely Penthouse with us! ##### Rose E. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Fairmont Austin](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Austin-Hotels-Fairmont-Austin.h18156638.Hotel-Information) > > [AC Hotel by Marriott Houston Downtown](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Houston-Hotels-AC-Hotel-By-Marriott-Houston-Downtown.h36715633.Hotel-Information) > > [Club Wyndham Austin](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Austin-Hotels-Club-Wyndham-Austin.h20597750.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency Houston Downtown](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Houston-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Houston.h20005.Hotel-Information) > > [Staybridge Suites Houston Galleria Area by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Houston-Hotels-Staybridge-Suites-Houston-Galleria-Area.h57536940.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Garden Inn Austin University Capitol District](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Austin-Hotels-Hilton-Garden-Inn-Austin-University-Capitol-District.h66911977.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency Dallas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dallas-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Dallas.h24753.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Americas-Houston](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Houston-Hotels-Hilton-Americas-Houston.h976144.Hotel-Information) > > [Sonesta Hotel Houston IAH Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Houston-Hotels-Sonesta-Hotel-Houston-IAH-Airport.h23787.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton University of Houston](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Houston-Hotels-Hilton-University-Of-Houston.h40758.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt House Austin/Downtown](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Austin-Hotels-Hyatt-House-AustinDowntown.h17061159.Hotel-Information) > > [The Reside](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Houston-Hotels-The-Reside.h22169664.Hotel-Information) > > [The Driskill, in The Unbound Collection by Hyatt](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Austin-Hotels-The-Driskill.h425573.Hotel-Information) > > [Magnolia Hotel Dallas Downtown](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dallas-Hotels-Magnolia-Hotel-Dallas-Downtown.h282336.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Dallas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dallas-Hotels-Fairmont-Dallas.h18280.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Indigo Austin Downtown - University by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Austin-Hotels-Hotel-Indigo-Austin-Downtown-University.h12294834.Hotel-Information) > > [Lemon Tree Hotel Jumeirah Dubai](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dubai-Hotels-Lemon-Tree-Hotel-Dubai.h44814988.Hotel-Information) > > [Residence Inn by Marriott Austin Downtown/Convention Center](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Austin-Hotels-Residence-Inn-By-Marriott-Austin-DowntownConvention-Center.h1453501.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree Suites by Hilton Austin Downtown Capitol](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Austin-Hotels-DoubleTree-Suites-By-Hilton-Austin.h24523.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express & Suites Austin NW - Four Points by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Austin-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Suites-Austin-NW-Four-Points.h9836657.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Place Austin Downtown](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Austin-Hotels-Hyatt-Place-Austin-Downtown.h5437747.Hotel-Information) > > [South Congress Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Austin-Hotels-South-Congress-Hotel.h9869259.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency Houston/Galleria](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Houston-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-HoustonGalleria.h10620692.Hotel-Information) > > [Downright Austin, A Renaissance Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Austin-Hotels-Downright-Austin.h7518.Hotel-Information) > > [Homewood Suites New York/Midtown Manhattan Times Square](https://www.expedia.co.uk/New-York-Hotels-Homewood-Suites-New-YorkMidtown-Manhattan-Times-Square.h6830159.Hotel-Information) > > [Crowne Plaza Dallas Downtown by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dallas-Hotels-Crowne-Plaza-Hotel-Dallas-Downtown.h40414.Hotel-Information) ### Packages
