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.

Wonderful Bahamian Thanksgiving!

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!

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!

Great Everything!

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.
