We had the most amazing Thanksgiving week thanks to Brad and his host Eric’s wonderful hospitality. The home was perfect for our family and convenient for our boat. We enjoyed lobster for Thanksgiving delivered by our wonderful host, caught wahoo and enjoyed exploring the community. There was no need not met by Eric and we appreciated his warm hospitality. We are looking forward to returning soon!
The check-in process was smooth Property manager manager, Eric was wonderful. Couldn’t have asked for a better trip spending time with friends and family.
The house was in a great location. Accommodations were great, very clean, and views were amazing.

This house was great! There was plenty of room and the house was fully stocked with everything you could need for your stay. The dock was perfect for out 42’ boat. We would definitely stay here again!
The house was everything we needed and more. We had a great time. The house is very well equipped. The small countertop ice machine was a bonus. And the extra freezers for bait and ice were awesome.
We enjoyed staying at Diamondhead. The home was very clean and well stocked. Eric took great care of us with all our request. Having the dock at the house made it so convenient. We will definitely be back in the near future.

Hidden gem
Outstanding location for boaters from Florida to fish and call home for a week. We will be back next year for sure.
This was our second time staying here and it was a great as the first time! Some comfortable and easily accessible. We cooked every night and the kitchen was completely stocked with everything we needed.
Eric, the caretaker, was awesome as always. He’s there at arrival and will even bring you a car rental if you need it. I also heard he’s a great chef so next time we will ask him to prepare us a meal! Thanks Brad for hosting us at your house once again. Can’t wait to go back.
Enjoyed our stayed at your pristine place. It was absolutely turn key and had everything we needed. Eric was more than accommodating and took the best care of us. We’ll be back soon!
I'm very happy to share my experience with this house, Excellent. It is a very comfortable well appointed house that is perfect for a fishing trip. Location is fantastic easy in and out. Eric the manager is always attentive and available he will help you with absolutely anything. Dock is great we had a 42ft and it was perfect size. The house has everything you will need and is in very good condition. Overall very high marks from me and our group!!
I have stayed at this location for the past couple of years and it never disappoints. The facility is second to none on this side of the islands. The owner and his wife stopped by to say hello and check on everything. Great People.
Process was smooth and easy. Communication was great. Eric the house care taker handled all our needs very quickly. Got us bags of ice daily for fishing/ boating, let us use a caravan to run into town. His nephew was a guide one day out on our boat showing us some spots, we cooked lobster on the grill at the sandbar, and made conch ceviche. Very happy with our experience and will be staying here every time we come to West End.
