High Style Penthouse #5PH2 With 180 Degree View Of The Gulf and Lazy River

A Caribbean seaside resort conveniently located in Galveston best describes Diamond Beach. Our 3 bedroom/2 bath penthouse is located on the fifth floor at Diamond Beach Resort and Spa, which is unequivocally the preeminent resort in Galveston.

All of the condos at Diamond Beach have great views of the water but this is one of the few condos that has a view of the bay and the ocean. Starting at the front door, you have a wonderful view of the bay. As you step inside the penthouse, you will be greeted by floor-to-ceiling windows with spectacular views of the Gulf of Mexico. When you open the sliding glass doors, you will step onto your private oversized balcony with a 180 degree view of the bay and the gorgeous Gulf waters. The balcony is a great place to sip a cup of coffee in the morning before everyone wakes up or have a nice tropical drink in the evening with your family and friends.

The master bedroom in the penthouse is one of the few units that has floor-to-ceiling windows with a spectacular view of the Gulf. The bedroom is an oasis for rest and relaxation, starting with its chandelier, deluxe king- size bed, and 55-inch flat screen TV (my husband’s decorating input) . The bathroom contains a wonderful rain-shower and an oversized tub. The bathroom also has his and her sinks. The condo has complimentary Wifi.

The 2nd bedroom has a deluxe queen size bed, a custom headboard, a 55 inch-flat screen TV (again my husband’s decorating input).

The 3rd bedroom has a deluxe king size bed, a custom headboard, and a large flat screen TV . The 2nd bath is across from the two guest bedrooms with a walk-in shower. The penthouse is tiled with stone floor and a washer/dryer.

The penthouse comes with a fully equipped kitchen and has granite counter tops. You’ll have 180 degree views of the ocean as you prepare waffles for breakfast or eat your favorite take-out foods from the large selection of restaurants within a short distance of Diamond Beach. The dining table seats 6 and the counter-stools sit 3, which is where the kids like to sit.

The living room has fantastic views of the ocean, a queen-sleeper sofa, and a 60-inch flat screen smart TV (you’ll never guess who picked out the TV). The condo sleeps up to 8 people.

Diamond Beach boasts of many amenities including:

Concierge: A concierge desk open 7 days a week from 7:00 am to 11:00 pm for your convenience with a staff knowledgeable regarding the island’s best attractions and restaurants.

Pools: Three pools consisting of a 750 ft. lazy river with a swim up bar and grill, a gigantic 300 ft. tiered cascading pool (which contains a kids’ pool), and Galveston’s only indoor heated pool for year-round enjoyment. The pools have plenty of lounge chairs or, if you want something more private, you can rent a cabana for the day.

Pool Bar: The pool bar is open on Fridays and Saturdays during the summer.

Spa: Ruthy's Spa is now open on the 4th floor. Book your appointment and relax with one of the many wonderful treatments.

Gym: The Look Better in Your Swimsuit Center (aka The Exercise Room). This place may inspire those of us (like me) who would prefer to have a tooth extracted instead of going to the gym to actually get on a treadmill with its spectacular vistas of the Gulf.

Game Room. Tabletop shuffleboard, foosball, pin ball machines, a billiards table, and a Wii Room for the kids and sometimes even parents get to play.

Cinema Room: If you are in the mood to go to the movies, all you need to do is step into the private theater room at Diamond Beach while you enjoy a bag of popcorn.

Kids Jungle Room: With its jungle murals, games, blocks, oversized bean bags and TV, this is the place to be for the hip toddler crowd.

Business Center: If you must work, at least you’ll have great views of the indoor pool and beach.

Beach Access: If you have time to go to the beach after doing all of the activities at Diamond Beach Resort & Spa, all you need to do is open the door on the property next to the lazy river and walk down to the beach. Diamond Beach is located just steps away from the beach. There’s no need to cross the road or jump in the car.

Diamond Beach is near everything. Just a few minutes car drive from: (i) entertainment (Moody Gardens; Miniature Golf; Schlitterbahn Waterpark; The Stand; Railroad Museum); (ii) golf courses (Moody Gardens Golf Course and Galveston Country Club), (iii) recreational activities (Seaside Bicycle Rentals; fishing for speckled trout, redfish, founder, golden croaker); bird watching (3/4 of all North American species travel through Galveston during fall and spring migration), (iv) restaurants (everything from McDonald’s to Guido’s), and (v) lots of shopping.

We are glad to share our home with you and know you will enjoy your stay here as you make great memories with your family and friends.

Fantastic location excellent host
This was an impromptu change of plans are normal family vacation takes place in Florida but with hurricanes coming through we had to make some last minute adjustments and decided to come to Galveston. We were very happy with the process communication from the host and the accommodations. Place was immaculate plenty of utensils on site plenty of cups plates silverware all that good stuff and whenever we did have a question or a concern The host responded immediately and took care of all the details promptly. Without a doubt when we return we will stay here again. Thanks for taking such good care of me and my family

Loved our stay!
We loved our stay at Diamond Beach. The condo was very nice and just as listing showed. Very clean and comfortable. The balcony is huge, and we loved spending mornings and evenings there. The Lazy River was where we spent most of our time and is so relaxing. We would definitely stay at Maria's condo again. It is perfect for a group of adults with the way the bedrooms are set up.

The condo itself was absolutely perfect! The resort was still having problems from the hurricane a few weeks prior. The main attraction being the 300 foot cascading pool was closed along with the hot tubs and only 1 elevator was working. But the trip was still a success!

Million dollar Vibes
The condo was next level .The views are excellent and breathtaking. My only complaint was the concrete slab ( covers indoor pool below) that you have to look over to see the ocean views . The listing was not clear and of course did show that . Overall it was amazing and the Penthouse was clean and I mean spotless clean . The toilet paper and 2 q - tips must be for decorations. Lol. We had to supply our own toilet paper . Not a big deal but it should be stocked : The owner was really nice and accommodating. Watch out the rude Aussie gentleman working at Property . He is borderline rude and not friendly. Aka wristband police . Few hiccups like the lady throwing up off the roof onto my head while parking . Yes it happened. Lol . Overall it was a quiet and relaxing stay with million dollar views . We travel all over the United States and it was one best places we have ever stayed in .

Family getaway
Diamond Beach is a great resort. We've stayed there many times in different condos and will stay there again. This condo was spacious, well-stocked, clean, and beautifully decorated. Since we had three adult couples, the bedroom situation was perfect...two kings and one queen. The outdoor deck was like an extra room, with furniture for sitting and eating. The only downside was the view wasn't exactly what we expected. Due to the curve of the building, we could only see west. Also, beyond the deck was the concrete roof of the lower level, which was somewhat unsightly. But all in all, we loved our stay.

Great beach penthouse
Three generation spring break vacation. Weather was a little colder than expected but the penthouse and property were great. Quick access to quiet beach area, lazy river, large pool, 2 hot tubs, heated indoor pool, game room, and kids “jungle room” were all enjoyed. Room was in good shape with a big deck that has nice long view of the beach. Kids enjoyed watching pelicans fly by. Would recommend for a family vacation.

Location is absolutely perfect! The view is breathtaking. The listing was just as advertised and the owner was very responsive with all of our questions and request. Cleaning crew did an outstanding job. The only issue we had was with shades not going up and down, which made it hard to get onto the balcony and the washer had a massive mold problem. We chose not to do our laundry even though we planned on it and purchased detergent. Otherwise, it was a great stay.

5PH2 Stay Aug 3-4, 2023
Overall it was a great stay. The only issue I had was when checking in. The concierge desk only had one fob available for the four of us which made it difficult when we didn't all four go to the same place at the same time on the property. I was told that they would bring me a second fob later in the day, but that never happened. I got the second fob when I picked up the wrist bands for day two.

Overall, I would return. See below
The condo we stayed in was beautiful!! We really enjoyed our place. We wish there would have been more towels and maybe a few more throw blankets. The property is beautiful, but I will say the employee of Diamond Beach who was walking the property on the Friday we were there (6/9) was very rude and very aggressive. I understand ensuring that we have wrist bands and belong there, but he forcefully grabbed my daughter's wrist to see if she had one on. He should NOT be touching anyone for ANY reason. His tone was rude. His demeanor was just uncalled for. He made our stay at the pool area unenjoyable. Our son's car was damaged on the property due to a light fixture falling off the building and breaking the window glass on the passenger door. Hopefully the Property stays true to its word and pays for the fix. Communication with our Condo host was excellent.
