About this property

Waterfront, Family Friendly, Bahamian Retreat with 50' Dock

If you are looking for a vacation rental to relax and get away from it all, 'Diamondhead' is for you! 'Diamondhead' is a 1200 square foot fully equipped 2 bedroom, 2 bath family home approximately 55 miles east of West Palm Beach, Florida. It is easily accessible by commercial or private air service as well as by boat. We are bordered by the inlet on one side and a canal on the other with the ocean outside of our back door. This family home is completely furnished and available with all kitchen appliances as well as pots, pans, dishes, glasses and silverware. There is a full-sized washer and dryer. The house comes complete with DirecTV and Wi-Fi. The master bedroom has a queen sized bed while the second bedroom is equipped with twin beds. A trundle bed is located within the great room area. There is a 50 foot dock equipped with electricity and water as well as a storage shed with a freezer for fish and bait. A barbecue grill is included. Our home is in a quiet, secluded area; however, there is a large resort located a few minutes away. Snorkeling for lobsters is available out back while fishing for Wahoo is within shouting distance. $200.00 cleaning fee.

The property is perfect. Beautiful views, excellent location, we really appreciated the locking shed just steps from the dock to secure tackle, added bonus has bait freezer. Eric, the property manager stopped in daily to check on us and see if we needed anything. Eric and his team were first class.Mr. Jimmy the conch cleaner was very nice and incredibly talented.We enjoyed our trip so much that we have already booked for next year.

Diamond head was a lovely place to stay and came exactly as advertised. Eric was available for us for our entire stay. He took us to restaurants and his nephew was our guide for fishing. We even had an issue with our transmission on the boat and he “knew a guy” who was totally honest and fixed us up! He provided us with stone crab which was delicious. We will absolutely be back!
