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. The inlet borders us on one side and a canal on the other, with the ocean outside our back door. This family home is fully furnished and includes 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 main bedroom has a queen-size bed, while the second bedroom has twin beds. A trundle bed is located in the great room. 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, a large resort is located a few minutes away. Snorkeling for lobsters is available out back, while fishing for Wahoo is within shouting distance.

Brad’s House was everything we could want. Two separate freezers, fantastic dock with electricity and water, TV’s in every room which is very unusual. Many more pots and pans than is normally found. The kitchen was completely stocked. Two air friers. Wine cooler. Toaster oven. Everything was exactly as advertised. Eric the caretaker was a gentleman and very helpful. He even made a trip to get ice for us. Gas and diesel were available directly across from the dock. The canal entering into Bootle Bay was fairly deep and only a very short distance from the ocean to the dock. We will do our best to get back there soon.
