Nice place

This is a prime property with dock, power, lighting, ice cold A/C, 3 freezers, good internet. The property manager drove us to town for supplies and was a wonderful ambassador for the island. Group of 5 were comfortable. Nice grill outside cooked a few meals. Everything we needed in the kitchen. We would repeat this stay!

Graduation trip

I took my family to diamond head lodge for my daughters high school graduation . The wife and daughter had never been to the bahamas before and this trip was just amazing . The lodge is so private and the dockage is amazing ! the place is set up to fish or just relax which we did both of . The fishing was so good we only had to go 1 to 2 miles away to catch our dinner and ate at the place across from the house where they cooked our catch . If your looking for privacy , ocean views and beach life in the bahamas you found paradise : Thx again !!!!!

The Perfect Stay

We had the best Fourth of July weekend staying at Diamond Head. The house was perfect for the four of us. House was extremely clean and spacious with a fully equipped kitchen for cooking our fresh caught meals. Amazing fishing just a few miles away. Eric was extremely accommodating. He brought us plenty of ice, gave us a ride to OBB for dinner and even sent us home with his fresh conch salad. Highly recommend this property, especially to those who love to boat and fish. We will definitely be returning soon!

About the host

Hosted by Brad Owings

Our permanent residence is on the east coast of Florida and a mere 2 1/2 hours away from 'Diamondhead.' We love being able to jump in our boat and head away for a weekend or a week.

Why they chose this property

Our family enjoys fishing and boating as well as quiet times to foster family relationships. 'Diamondhead' has provided us the opportunity to 'get away from it all' and enjoy our times together.

What makes this property unique

'Diamondhead' has provided our family with a quiet retreat to vacation with our children. Now that they are adults, they return with their friends and loved ones to make new memories and continue those special family times.
