Experience the vacation of your wildest dreams at High Tide. Located at Diamond Beach Resort featuring private beach access, 2 pools, a lazy river, waterslide, movie theater, spa, game room, fitness center, and more!


This 3 bedroom 2 bath condo is colorful, lush, and luxurious. The delightful color scheme of blues and greens matches the ocean and palm trees outside the stunning floor to ceiling windows. Vacation has officially started; it's time to relax!


Look at that gorgeous, panoramic ocean view, inviting you to step outside onto your spacious private balcony.


Take in the sea breeze, the sights and sounds of the ocean, the palm trees, and the sparkling blue pool below. Lounge on the balcony furniture while you sip your morning coffee or favorite cocktail. There is also a table set for four out on the balcony.


Sit back, unwind, and enjoy each other's company in the bright and welcoming living area. There’s a three seat sofa and three chairs arranged around the room, with a cable-enabled 50 inch flatscreen TV and a lovely, pastel-accented coffee table to complete the room.


You’ll find the entire condo is charmingly decorated. Each room has a unique aesthetic, with its own theme and color palette ranging from rich blues to pastel greens, warm coral to calming teal. 


The open concept living room flows into the fully-equipped kitchen, complete with a Keurig coffee maker, toaster, blender, knife set, refrigerator, oven, stove, microwave, dishwasher, and large sink.


There is a kitchen bar top with 3 chairs, but we recommend sharing meals together on the patio dining table out on your balcony.


When it comes to drinkware, you have a wide array of wine glasses, cups, and coffee mugs to choose from. There are even Coozies to keep your drinks cool!


The master bedroom is gorgeous, with a memory foam queen bed, ceiling fan, and TV. The impressive master bathroom has lots of counter space and storage, double sinks, and an incredible, oversized, beautifully tiled shower with a sitting bench and two shower heads (regular and rainfall).


Bedrooms #2 and 3 both have beautiful decor, extremely comfortable queen beds, ceiling fans and closets.


The spacious second bathroom, located in the hall between the bedrooms, has everything you need to get cleaned up. There’s plenty of counter space and cabinet storage for your toiletries, a large sink, shower, and a very deep tub, perfect for soaking in.


There is a stacked washer and dryer located in the bathroom closet. 


After settling into your luxury lodgings, prepare yourself for the Diamond Beach experience. You may want to plan a day or two of your trip to just stay at the resort and enjoy everything it has to offer.

Amenities at Diamond Beach include:
-Giant resort-style pool
-Sun chairs and loungers
-Lazy River
-Waterslide
-Heated indoor pool
-Beach volleyball court
-Cabanas for rent
-Bbq grills
-Bar and restaurant
-Movie theater
-Spa
-Fitness center with ocean views
-Kid's Club
-Arcade / Game room (free to play)


As you can tell, you don't have to leave the resort to start making memories. But when you're ready to explore Galveston, you're only minutes away from its best attractions.
Diamond Beach is located just west of the Seawall. You'll be far away from the crowds, but still close to the Island's most popular spots:
1 minute to the Seawall
8 minutes to Moody Gardens
6 minutes to Schlitterbahn
13 minutes to Pleasure Pier
20 minutes to the Historic Strand
(depending on traffic)

Terrible Exerperience
When we checked in, property was unclean with dust over much of the furniture, and hair in both bathrooms. Ceiling fan and light didn't work, walls showed patchwork but not painted, balcony as littered with peanut shells. Additionally, the shower curtain was torn. When I called the off-site manager to complain, his initial response was that they don't check the rooms after they have been cleaned. And, they had storms since the rooms were cleaned so I just needed to flip the breaker. When maintainence showed up, they said the fan/light combo was shot and needed to be replaced. When I called the off-site manager and told him this his response was "so, do you want me to cancel your resservation"? Having no other place to stay, we had no choice but to make the best of a bad situation. However,. I will never stay there again and discourage anyone from booking through this VRBO.

BEAUTIFUL property But Parking limited
So the property was beautiful, but I would have liked to know there was a limited parking of 2. This was not disclosed when booking, you're a limited two parking Per the hoa, and even though it was not fully booked, they would not let me park my third vehicle and offered to pay but I had to park in public parking about 5 or 10 miles aaadown, which was not bad, but was $20 a day.

Great spot!
Everything is great! The complex is very clean and well maintained. Plenty of presence from the condominium facilities. The condo itself was wonderful too! It met all our needs. We will be back!! Couple things to note: the condo complex rules are strongly enforced - 2 car maximum and everyone must have a wristband when onsite. The distance from the elevators to the condo door is long. Make sure to bring wheelchairs for individuals that may require some assistance with walking.

Great potential but…
Nice location for Galveston but we were disappointed with the cleanliness of the unit. Found some personal grooming items from prior tenant (used a-tips) Also, the sliding door to the balcony was broken and the furniture on the balcony was totally rusted out. Called the management company during our stay but never heard back.

Great location & Pool Area
Condo was nice; as pictured in listing for most part. Patio door was a bit hard to open and tv’s in all of the bedrooms would be nice but not a deal breaker. Pool area was large and never felt crowded. Lazy River was one of the best I’ve experienced.

Family Vacation
Amazing view of the beach and pool/lazy river. The resort was nice and we loved the amenities. Check-in/out was easy and the clerks were very nice/helpful if we needed anything. The pool was never crowded and we did not have to drive far for restaurants, attractions, or shopping. We loved the layout and space of the condo, however it was a few things that could have been better: -Mold was in the washer and bathrooms. I did reach out to property manager with photos and was told they would send housekeeping. After waiting for a few hours and no housekeeper or communication from property management, we had to go to Walmart to buy some products to clean. Not how we wanted to spend our afternoon. -The A/C kept going up to 76/77 even though we would change it to 72. It was hot especially at night! Not sure what was happening there. - Housekeeping needs to do a thorough cleaning. There was dust in a few places and we found hair in 2/3 beds. Some of the baking pans were dirty and put in the bottom cabinet. Overall, we enjoyed our vacation and made the best of it!

DO NOT STAY HERE
The property itself is absolutely amazing. The condo is beautiful BUT, the owner controls the AC remotely and, even w/a hear index of 102, the AC CANNOT be turned lower than 70 AND THE AC WAS CHANGED TO 79 every 15-20 minutes (even at night when sleeping. The condo was HOT! I contacted the front desk & management company 2X w/o luck. We had to buy three fans for the bedrooms & we’re still hot. Texas law required that all buildings have air conditioning that will cool to 20 degrees below the heat index. This property owner was breaking the law in Texas, and even though the management company said they would contact the owner and call me back, they didn’t call me back. I have no idea if they reached the owner or not. Regardless, the issue was not resolved. I had to contact the management company for more towels (6 bath towels for 6 people to use for 3 days), paper towels (1 roll provided), trash bags (1 very thin & tears easily bag provided), dishwasher soap (on checkout you are required to run the dishwasher) and washing machine pods (1 provided). The beds are listed as queen size. They all are full size and there is not a water slide. The first bedroom’s (toward the living room) bed loudly squeaked when anyone rolled over or moved (loud enough to hear in the other rooms). The bathroom sink had shaved hair in it. Again, the condo building was VERY nice and we enjoyed ourselves when not in the actual condo where we were not sweating and could sleep due to the heat.

Very Nice Accommodations with Awesome Gulf View
Overall condo was clean and the beach decor throughout was very cool. Big balcony overlooking gorgeous pool. The amenities were above and beyond. Very impressed with their safety measures. Area around units are in a safe part of Galveston. There were a few minor issues like several bulbs needing replacement…but hey.. no place is perfect. Walmart & Kroger are close by. “Nest” A/C-Heat control was confusing and I never fully understood it.

The view was amazing--absolutely wonderful. The condo overall was nice and very functional. A few suggestions: please provide better hand soap (the bar you provide is as big as a quarter). No one looked at the dishes--several were dirty (found in the cupboards). Bath mats (or at least a towel for the floor) would have been nice along with extra towels in general.

Nice Property but Bad Management
WE were very pleased with the property - it was well-maintained for the most part and the pics reflected the actual unit quite well. Our problem was that the refrigerator was out and with a 3 yo in tow, we really needed a refrigerator!! They had placed a very small mini unit in the condo, but did not tell us until the day before check in, and refused to move us to another unit or to lease a refrigerator for our stay. This caused a lot of related issues for us, from ice to begin able to have meals in, a reason that we chose this condo over a hotel. I don't think that we would trust them again.

Overall, it was a wonderful 9 days. Beautiful pools, easy access to the beach. Things to know: The kids' slide isn't in operation and hasn't been for many years according to staff. There are no open restaurants on site nor was the pool bar ever open during my stay. The kid's club is nothing more than a very adorable room with toys in it designed for very young children. Movie theatre GREAT, needs to be reserved in advance and even then, the other guests just make themselves at home as it's not really posted anywhere, which isn't a big deal, just surprising. The amenities in the room were sparce, we had to buy toilet paper, laundry soap, and dishwasher soap. I fully expected to purchase groceries, spices, coffee etc. Toilet paper caught me by surprise, the dishwasher soap c'mon! maybe laundry is asking too much but very few bath towels (no soap remember), and explicit instructions not to take bath towels to the pool or the beach. My family flew in from three different states, stopped at the grocery on our way from the airport and ended up going back to the store for items that are typically supplied. I would not have paid what I paid had I known there were so many amenities not up and running on the property I selected specifically for those amenities. I probably wouldn't have selected the property at any price had I known. The pools were really nice, big, beautiful, well maintained and not overcrowded and that's how we spent everyday. The condo was very comfy! Beds GREAT!

Staying at Diamond Beach Resort is the best spot in Galveston. So many amenities: from the different pool areas to the lazy river to the game room. Such a good gulf view as well. Very safe environment. But the condo unit we rented was not very clean: Washing machine was moldy smelling around door seal Patio furniture nasty with bird poop, mold, cigarette burn marks Patio glass door full of prints or something Coffee pot really dirty Fridge actually got hot before cooling off our food Fridge motor constantly clicking on & off very loudly Oven only cooks on one half Several lights burnt in master, first guest room, under microwave We did call company & someone called back within an hour but nothing to do with frige.....it eventually started cooling but motor really loud

Girls trip
Overall the property is a bit run down but it’s nice for Galveston. The details say water slide but does not work. Also says direct beach access but the access is a very narrow path that is a bit hard to find. The pool is nice but there was only one day it was clean the other days it had lots of dirt and tree drippings. It says has a theatre which it does but be prepared to enter your streaming credentials to watch a movie. Our room was nice and clean. However, we had two lights out in each bathroom and bulbs out in one of the guest rooms. It was a pain to even get someone out and even then only one bathroom bulb was replaced. The maintenance guy said the bulbs have been replaced within the last year and feels something else is wrong. TBH, I don’t care replace the dang bulbs and then work on whatever problem when we check out. The refrigerator had a beeping noise and the master bedroom fan made a loud scratching sound when turned on. The balcony door does not easily open and the cushions on the patio are so nasty you will not want to use the patio furniture. The condo itself needs repairs and some updating to the patio furniture cushions. This condo is not at all worth the price. I have paid less for a lot better quality.
