Diamond Beach 312-Island Jewel | Community Pools!

All was great. However, condo does need painting and living room TV is outdated

Not worth the price paid. Condo was in need of repairs and was lacking in several items that are basic necessities. I will not rent that Condo again.

The condo facility is a true jewel. I will stay here again, though the furnishings and bedding in this unit were not in line with the price. (Bed was comfortable, but the sheets were too small for a king size bed.) The amenities are fabulous. Beautiful pool and lazy river, great views and well-maintained facilities. The condo staff members are all helpful and friendly. The rental company was communicative until we had a problem with a toilet leaking, leaving it unusable. Messages sent via Vrbo app, direct calls and texts to rental company Ryson were all unanswered, leaving six people in the condo with only one working restroom for our last night/day. Two days post-rental still with no response. I will avoid Ryson rentals in the future.

The condo and resort were perfect for a family vacation. We will be returning again in the future.

Would definitely book again

Facility and campus is nice and secure. Water areas , communal areas in great condition and well maintained. Staff is great. Communication with condo owner poor.

Beautiful view and we love the lazy river. Some items needed repair (ice maker, light bulbs, dishwasher detergent holder, patio door didn’t lock) but Ryson brought us bags of ice and replaced the light bulb asap. We didn’t know about the dishwasher and patio door at the time. The bedrooms are pretty small but would work if we had young children with us.

Location was great. Size of pool was a bonus. Layout, cleanliness & amenities were great.

Condo is very nice with great view. Stayed with our 2.5 year old and had great access to beach and amenities. As mentioned in some of the previous reviews: Water slide is closed as resort stated they were unable to find/staff a lifeguard and unable to utilize without one. Hot water to master shower is a bit tricky. About 25% of our showers actually felt like we had hot water. Seemed to work fine in other bathroom. Beds/mattresses not very comfortable and mattresses probably need replacement (spring mattresses just feel shot). Weather was low 80s and partly sunny and there were no crowds so we would definitely have considered this off season.

We have stayed at Diamond Beach many times. This was our first time in this unit. Diamond Beach is beautiful and the amenities cannot be beat. This particular unit was ok but needs a little TLC. The hot water has issues and you never know if you are going to get a cold shower or a hot shower. The washing machine has mildew and a smell. We were supposed to be able to check in at 4:00 (which is later than most units we’ve stayed in). We were told there was no early check ins and that the management company would text us as soon as it was ready. It was explained they have a 2 step process of the cleaning personnel coming in and a quality control person coming after to check the unit for perfection. Not the case, we walked into the cleaning lady still there after 4:00 and had to wait in the hallway for 30 minutes for her to finish. The “quality control” person never showed up to check the work. All in all Diamond Beach is fabulous but for the price of this unit I was expecting a little more.
