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!

We have been coming to Diamond Beach for years. This was our first stay in 601, and we loved it! It is spacious, beds were comfortable, and had plenty of extras. Mrs Gigi was very gracious and informative. Will plan to return to 601 next summer.

Great views and great stay!

This is our 3rd time staying at these condos but our first time staying in this unit. The views were spectacular! At first I was bummed there wasn’t a view over the pool, but it that quickly faded when I saw the amazing view of the beach. The corner unit gave us privacy as well and it’s right off the east entrance elevators. The unit itself had everything we needed and the decor was so lovely. I’m impressed with the owner’s paintings! The bed was comfortable and we slept well. If you’re a light sleeper you might want an eye mask as the curtains are not black out and the bedrooms face the east rising sun. The pools are definitely the star of the property and the beach is easy access. I do wish the slide was working. Either way, we will return! Thank you for sharing your home with us!

Beautiful, condo- everything working, clean, the patio was absolutely perfect and one of the main reasons why we picked this condo. The fireplace was amazing. Gigi contacted me as soon as I booked, she let me know ahead of time what was there, and asked if there was anything I needed. I couldn't ask for a better experience. I will come back!

The building where this condo is located has lots of amenities for all age groups. We didn’t have any kids with us to take advantage of all the amenities but greatly enjoyed our stay. Near enough to everything in Galveston, but not in a congested area so it was quiet and peaceful. Great views, and the condo had in it everything we could possibly need. The owner provided excellent instructions on everything beforehand and in the condo itself. Definitely a great place to stay!
