Great ocean view, pool, lazy river lots of amenities

Dreaming of an upscale Galveston getaway with amenities galore, and breathtaking Gulf views? Look no further than High Seas, located at Diamond Beach, Galveston's 5-star oceanfront luxury condominium resort.

From the 5th floor balcony, you’ll swoon over the expansive, unobstructed Gulf views. Set the alarm early (it’s vacation, you can always go back to bed) because the spectacular sunrises are not to be missed. Listen to the soothing sounds of waves rolling in while watching pelicans and seagulls float by at eye level. There’s plenty of balcony seating to take in the view while sipping coffee or cocktails, plus a 4-seat table that’s perfect for snacking or dining.


With 10 ft. ceilings, the spacious, open-concept kitchen and living area is elegant yet welcoming. The fully-equipped kitchen, with marble counter-tops and stainless-steel Kitchen Aid appliances, has counter-top seating for three. With plenty of comfortable seating, a built-in TV, and a cozy electric fireplace, the living area is the place to be after a day at the beach.


You’ll sleep well during your stay at High Seas. The master bedroom has a king bed, two dressers, recessed lighting with a dimmer switch, and a TV/disc player with a selection of family-friendly DVDs. The bathroom en suite has double sinks and an over-sized shower for a relaxing rain shower experience. Bedroom #2 has a queen bed, wall-mounted TV and roomy closet. The hands-down kids’ favorite, Bedroom #3 boasts an old-school Ms. Pac Man arcade game, a full-size bunk bed, plenty of drawer space, and a wall-mounted TV. All bedrooms are equipped with ceiling fans and luggage holders.


The second bath has a combination tub/shower with an extra-deep tub for a long, soothing soak. Located off the bathroom, guests appreciate the convenience of the Whirlpool duet full-size stack laundry.


Amenities
Vacation in style with the abundance of amenities offered at Diamond Beach. Float down the 750 ft. rambling lazy river, cool off in the 300 ft. cascading 3-tiered pool, or relax in the poolside cabanas while cooking dinner at the grilling pavilions. A sand volleyball court and tennis courts are also available. When you’re ready to put your toes in the sand, it’s an easy walk to two private beach access points.
Head indoors and the fun continues. A classically elegant, black/white-tiled heated indoor pool provides a cool way to enjoy Gulf views without the sun. The 30-seat Ocean Cinema is for all guests’ use but can also be reserved. Exercise buffs need not miss a workout, as the fitness center is well-equipped with machines and weights, plus a spectacular bonus view of the pool area and Gulf. Feeling indulgent? The Chocolate Spa is ready to provide the pampering you deserve, by appointment.
Jungle Kids Club offers safe, supervised fun entertainment—perfect for kids when they need a break from the sun. The younger crowd and the young at heart will love the game room with foosball, arcade games, shuffleboard, and more.


Located at the far West End of the Seawall, Diamond Beach has the best of Galveston: It sits away from the crowded beaches, but just minutes from The Island’s popular restaurants, attractions, and shops.

Terrible rental
We are regular renters at the diamond but first time renting this property. A lot of issues with the property and would not recommend renting this unit. Called and sent numerous messages to the property manager but nothing was fixed, looked at and zero communication back to us. Find another unit to rent not with the money.

Not really as expected
I'm not going to say this is all the fault of the owner of the property but this definitely was not the best stay I've ever had at a resort. To start when we arrived - 30 minutes early - we were told we couldn't get in our room until 4pm.The room was ready - they said - but we couldn't get in. On top of that the elevators were all broken except for one and there were DOZENS of people trying to use them all at once. After we checked in, they shut down the other elevators because allegedly someone was coming to fix the ones that were broken. Why they had to shut the others down, nobody could explain but they did... so we were forced to carry all our luggage up 5 flights of stairs. The outdoor pool was closed because of alleged roof damage and their concern about falling tile. Okay, no big deal... we were told the lazy river and indoor pool were open. The lazy river was okay, kids enjoyed it. The indoor pool is a joke. It's 3'6" in depth pretty much all the way around so I guess you can wade around in it but that's pretty much it. Again, not the biggest of deals because you're right on the ocean....... Except you're not. You're right across from the sea wall - which I did know because of the pictures but the pictures don't do justice to how far away you actually are. It's quite the walk to get to the beach. Let's see... most of the games upstairs in the game room were broken as well, just to top things off. My advice. Look elsewhere. Just not worth the cost at all.

We were disappointed that when we booked it was not mentioned anywhere that the pool was closed. I understand it was due to the storm, but it seems that it should be mentioned prior to paying. Everything else about the property was very nice.

Clean safe property~cute beachy decor. Lots of great patio furniture. Fabulous amenities! Lazy River was fantastic. Comfortable beds, except sofa bed is not. Odd…there’s no dining table for family. Also no closet in master bedroom. Kitchen needs more utensils such as forks and adult glassware. Cookie sheets are scratched up. Can openers don’t work well. Fridge water/ice dispenser out of order. No lights at all in bunk bed room. Bring a pack of light bulbs. Despite these inconveniences, our family vacation was great thanks to Walmart being close by. work well.

Great place, management company lacks communication
This property is beautiful and we will definitely stay in this condominium building again but likely with a different management company as we felt it lacked communication during the process. The condo was a little less clean than expected and the bathtub was intentionally disabled to where only showers were allowed (not ideal with a 7 year old) but other than that, it was a wonderful stay and the family had a blast.

Great time with Grands
This property was just what we needed for Papa, Grammy and 3 grandsons under 12. The 3 bedroom unit isn’t large but worked great for us. The amazing pool(s), beautifully landscaped lazy River and the fun game room were a huge hit with my crew! Being there the week before Memorial Day meant not crowded at all! The boys definitely want to come back.

Unit 503
The unit was nicely decorated. The resort had great amenities. We had a problem with the cleanliness of the unit upon check in. Mold in washing machine and showers. Hair in shower. Shower curtain rod would not stay up, kept falling, not resolved to our standards. Curtains fell down in living room when we touched them. Stove vent covers had food on them. Dishes were dirty. No towels or hot pads in kitchen. Contacted management and he sent a cleaning crew. They cleaned to our satisfaction but could still not use washing machine due to mold. I suggest a thorough cleaning in this unit. I would rent again if it is cleaned better. I feel that the property manager should have contacted me to make sure that problems were resolved. I had to call numerous times about the issues and didn’t feel that my call was very welcomed.

ALOT FOR YOUR MONEY!
This property was awesome, my kids loved the cinema theater and they loved the arcade games in the room. The view was perfect and my teens enjoyed the pool and gym. The reception ladies were so courteous and attentive and the check in process was easy. The property is highly secure and it gave me peace of mind when it came to letting my teens go to the arcade game. I have stayed in many beach houses in galveston and now, I am reconsidering because I felt staying in a condo, THIS CONDO, i got more for my money. Also, the location was on point, so close to everything but so perfect in the area too.
