About this property

PELICAN WATCH AT DIAMOND BEACH, GALVESTON's PREMIER RESORT

As you sit on the large terrace of Pelican Watch, you are almost eye-level to see the flocks of pelicans overhead and look out to see breathtaking views of the lush manicured pool area below and out to the waters of the Gulf of Mexico. When we purchased Unit 511 in Diamond Beach's premier five-star resort, we wanted to add our touches with both you and our family in mind. We have furnished it with everything we want and believe it will be everything you want as well.

The living room of this amazing unit features a wall with a fireplace and a large Smart TV with cable service. WiFi is also provided. The open plan provides a living area for TV watching, game playing and making many memories. The adjoining kitchen with it's stainless steel and granite is well equipped with cooking conveniences including slow cooker, toaster, waffle iron and blender, plus a Keurig by the pot or K-cup and a Nespresso espresso machine. We've even provided you with an assortment of spices.

If outdoor cooking is your pleasure, as it is mine, your terrace is equipped with an electric Weber grill and large dining table for those great homemade (or brought in) meals . Poolside grills are also provided.

At the end of your busy day you will find rest in the three well-furnished bedrooms. The master bedroom has a king sized bed and a bathroom en suite with an over-sized shower for a relaxing rain shower experience. The second and third bedrooms have queen beds. All bedrooms are equipped with ceiling fans, TVs and luxury bedding The second bath has a combination tub/shower with an extra-deep tub for a long, soothing soak.

In addition to the amenities and conveniences of Pelican Watch, The common amenities of Diamond Beach include a Concierge desk, beautiful indoor heated pool, children's playroom and computer center. Also for your enjoyment is a game room with pool table, pin ball machines, video games, shuffleboard and more; a 35-seat movie theatre and state-of-the-art workout center overlooking the Gulf. There is easy access to the resort's beach entrance and to the outdoor pool complex which offers three spill-over pools, hot tubs and lazy river.

With so much to do at Diamond Beach, you probably won't want to leave, but in case you do, Moody Gardens, Schlitterbahn and the Pleasure Pier are only minutes away. Galveston also boasts many great restaurants and, of course, shopping on The Strand. For you golfers, Moody Gardens offers an excellent course for you to try.

Outstanding condo in the best resort
We've visited Galveston a few times and have found that Diamond Beach is the best place to stay. It has top notch amenities, including terrific pools. Now, we believe we've found the best condo in the resort. This condo is beautifully decorated and well stocked. It is spacious, including a large oceanfront lanai with comfortable seating perfect for lounging and just watching the waves and pelicans. Inside, we loved the large master suite. This will be our regular place in the future.

1st Family Vacation
Everything was great, very impressed with the whole procedure. We had a bit of trouble with the tv remotes. But, luckily we got them working properly. The ice was a welcome touch. All the residents were very friendly. Only exception was the distance to the steps for the pool. We had to walk around the whole pool to get out...but nothing that will keep us from coming back!! Thanks for a wonderful experience.

The property is beautiful and our condo was wonderful.It was fully stalked and we enjoyed it thoroughly. I would recommend that the website be updated with what amenities that are actually available. There was no water slide and evidently havent had one for several years. No swim up bar offered or club on the 3rd floor to which we could enjoy a cocktail.We were told that was for only VIPs and yet it was closed for even them along with the wine room. as people book according to amenities offered I feel this is very misleading especially for what you pay for in the peak months. Our check in person was less than pleasant. I would book here again for the location and pool regardless than a few hiccups.I do suggest adding some kind of refreshment so snack area as it would bring in quite a bit of revenue to the property

About the host

Hosted by Linda Carey

Host profile image
After retiring from our careers of Police Officer and Commercial Property Manager in Dallas,, we bought a beachfront house in Galveston which we named Dolphin View. Deciding to make life easier and to have more amenities, we sold the house and purchased a condominium in this beautiful Diamond Beach Resort. We now not only have the beachfront, we have all the other amazing advantages of this property.

Why they chose this property

We chose this property after looking at many and Diamond Beach is not only the premier five star resort with unequalled amenities in Galveston, it has amazing views and beach access. It is close enough to everything without being in a congested area.

What makes this property unique

You will be hard-pressed to find a complete package of amenities like that offered at Diamond Beach, and Unit 511 is located in the center of the building offering easy access to everything.
