Beachfront condo with beach access and shared amenities

We really enjoyed our stay at this condo! The balcony was amazing — perfect for relaxing and enjoying the view — and the AC worked great, which made the whole place very comfortable. There were a few small downsides: the shower did have some mold, and a few spots in the living room could have been cleaned a bit better. But overall, it was a great stay and we’d happily come back.

Pool was amazing! Enjoyed the lazy river! Pool bar was great! Beautiful area and grounds were amazing. Condo was dirty! Dirty dishes put away in cabinet. Hair in bathtub. Couch was stained and rug in living room looked like it has never been cleaned. Patio had food left on table. Just not clean al all!

The Pelican Oasis was so perfect for our family. Plenty of room and towels and blankets. The resort itself was so amazing! We will be going again.

All these rules about no kayaks in the back of trucks (which the San Luis Hotel & Spa allows!!) and more make you think this is an exclusive type resort but nope, the staff jumps in front of guests to get off the elevators; we weren’t given the required parking permit upon checkin, even after I specifically asked if my car was ok where it was and the bored unfriendly kid said it was. Broken pool entrance all Saturday, which was super frustrating considering they only give two fobs for a 3 bedroom rental! Roaches in the hallway and on the steps beside the pool, a mosquito haven swamp for a volleyball pit, gnats all in the pool in which we asked for help and an hour later moved to a different area, and tried to go to the game room while it was raining but the air conditioner was broken so stayed for the kids but sweat to death.

Beautiful property, couldn't ask for any more amenities. Quiet beach, beautiful ocean view. Far enough away from the hustle and bustle of the public beach, but close enough for easy access to restaurants and shopping. Will stay there again when we visit Galveston.

Our stay was great! The condo is in a quiet part of the Island. Parking was convenient during this early March trip. The carts available for guests to utilize help tremendously! There were ample bath towels supplied. The mini shampoo/conditioner provided don't go very far. It would be nice if additional ones were provided to avoid the need of additional toiletries when packing. The primary bedroom has an uber sensitive smoke alarm. Great safety feature, but doesn't allow for hot showers beyond 5 minutes. Secondary bedrooms do not have tv's. I missed this in the photos. If you're traveling with anyone who enjoys falling asleep with the tv on, note that only the living room and primary room have a tv available. Overall, very nice unit, great views, in a clean and beautiful condominium property.

We had a wonderful vacation staying here. The kids loved the bunk beds and we all enjoyed all of the amenities - multiple pools, lazy river, and the cinema, game room, and children's play room. The unit was very clean. Something to note is that there's a coffee maker but no coffee was provided, so we bought some keurig pods at the store. I later found out that they offer coffee in the lobby so just a heads up! The balcony was my favorite part with a beautiful view of the ocean. We also really appreciated being able to walk to the beach and not have to drive. I would love to stay at this location next time we visit Galveston!

We really enjoyed the condo and all of its amenities. I would definitely come back. The lazy river was fantastic. The pool was clean. Arcade room was also a lot of fun. My only complaint is that grills were available to be used for the public without having to reserve a cabana but one day, the grills were taken away for possible cleaning. I called the number that was part of the app and the host seemed a little taken aback that I was able to get ahold of him and seemed confused that grills were even part of the amenities based on my booking. Additionally the app was not useful and I would not recommend downloading it even though you get emails saying to download the app before your stay.

The view and patio were great. The condo amenities are excellent. Loved the lazy river, the pools, the sand volley ball, the game room and the beach access without having to cross the street.

We loved our stay in this condo at Diamond Beach Condominiums. The condo was immaculately clean with cozy living room furniture and comfortable beds. There was plenty of room for our group of 5 adults to spread out. We didn't use the balcony much due to the mosquitos, but there is a beautiful view of the pool and the ocean beyond, with cozy outdoor furniture. We enjoyed the view from the full length windows that stretch across the kitchen and living room. The large TV was perfect for watching college football games. We enjoyed all the amenities at the resort, especially the arcade room and private gated access to the beach. The condo is located in a safe location away from the crowds. Was nice and quiet. Next time we're in Galveston I'd want to stay here again.

My family truly enjoyed staying at this very nice condo. It has everything we needed and more. The AC worked great. The outdoor patio was an added bonus facing the ocean. We had so much fun on the lazy river and the indoor pool. We definitely will be renting the Pelican Oasis again. Because of the rainy weather during our Galveston stay, we were happy this resort had so many indoor amenities. We give it two thumbs up with a big ten on the ratings.

Great place for our big family to visit. Enough room to spread out, but still very comfy. The place was back up and running from Beryl. I was glad to see them quickly get the most of the outside amenities back.

Our family enjoyed our time there, wish Hurricane Beryl would have not cut our stay short, we would have loved to stay our last few days!

Great place to stay for a long weekend. Very family oriented. Lots ok things to do and very secure place.

The place was lovely. We enjoyed our stay immensely. ​​ ​​The apartment was spacious and larger than the listing photos made it look. Perhaps the high ceilings make it feel smaller in pictures. We had 4 adults and 2 small children and did not feel cramped. ​​ ​​Everything was quite clean when we arrived and we enjoyed the decor. The view of the ocean is wonderful. ​​ ​​The building was well-built and well-managed. Between family-friendly quiet hours and solid construction, we did not hear other tenants or the pool (once the door was closed). ​​ ​​Some reviews for other units in the building mention limited hot water. We seemed to be able to get hot water by just letting the shower run for a few minutes first. The porch door was too heavy for kids to open alone, but with a toddler who likes to climb, that wasn’t necessarily bad. ​​ ​​The location was good too. It was on a quiet corner of the island, so we had some space from the crowds, but it was still an easy drive down the Seawall to downtown, the pier, and the museums we wanted to visit. The beach was just around the corner from the lazy river. ​​ ​​Overall it was exactly what we were looking for and we would be happy to come back next time we are in Galveston.

Beautifully decorated and immaculately clean and comfortable! Best sleep I've had in a while! We really enjoyed our stay and will be back!

Great view and very nice property. Highly recommended for families.
