My husband,son and family friend stayed in Topaz for 8 fabulous days...Clean and very comfortable cottage on one of the BEST beaches! The owner, Gladys, does her very best to ensure you have a wonderful memorable stay! We ve been to the island many times and this is the best place to stay if you re looking for your own private paradise! We rented a car from Brads(at the airport) and so glad we did. Grocery shopped at Solomans. We did walk to the "Sand Bar"(maybe 200 yards down the beach)almost daily to either have a drink or a bite to eat, have known the owner "Jenks" since 1977.

I stayed here with my parents and brother for a week long getaway, and we loved it! The beach front was convenient and private. The decor was homey and welcoming. Overall, it was just what we were looking for! With long vacations, it's nice to have a kitchen and living room area, and the huge porch was a bonus.

I wish I could give this beautiful holiday rental ten stars (10) because this is what it deserves. The accommodation is first class in a beautiful location. Shirley the housekeeper was such a lovely person her egg rolls are the best. The owner Gladys-Sydnham Smith is a gem hope to see more of them next year. We have booked to go back for longer next year. The beach is fabulous and to be able to walk a short distance from your cottage to the sea (which takes about 2 minutes) is great. It is a good thing to have a rental car to get around there is a huge supermarket not too far away and Port Lucaya is not far away with a good choice of restaurants. All in all these cottages are the best location for a perfect holiday.

Our stay was fantastic! A beautiful home away from home. Everything involved with the cottage was in good repair and worked. It is decorated beautifully! A truly relaxing place. We lived out on our deck, it was wonderful! The birds chirping in the morning and the frogs creeking at night....you can also hear the gentle sigh of the waves washing the beach. The beach is just a short stroll down the path. 100 yds. Its a gated property so you felt very safe and secure. Shirley the Housekeeper is a doll and ensured we were comfortable. She made us a huge chicken stir fry one evening for supper for a very, very reasonable price and it was very very good! Thanks! A great place to come and rent a car and explore this beautiful islands beaches. Gladys the owner is a sweetheart, a very busy lady, we absolutely loved her, she would stop by almost everyday to ensure our stay was going well. By the end of our stay, we felt almost like family and have booked again for next year. I cannot find fault with this wonderful tropical island getaway. If you need to get away from it all, Dis is the Place! Oh should mention that there is also a wonderful little Sandbar just a 5 min walk down the beach. Good food too! Thank you Gladys and we will be looking forward to next year.

We researched this site long and hard for places to stay in the Bahamas being first-time visitors with a three year old child. We finally decided on Diamonds, mostly due to the photos and great reviews.

Having both travelled far and wide and stayed in some amazing places, this was one holiday we will never forget. Gladys (the owner) and Shirley (the housekeeper) looked after us very well; the cottage (Topaz) was beautifully clean, had everything you need for a holiday (and worked!) and the beach/setting was divine.

We hired a car for three days to have a look around the island but in all honesty you'll probably just want to flop into the inviting hammock on the porch and not move very much.

The beach was to die for; I ran barefoot every morning and it was the highlight of my trip. So many different shells to collect and such beautiful sunrises and sunsets.

We particularly loved the local Bahamian bars and restaurants situated right next to Diamonds on the beach. They may look closed on the outside and even quite uninviting but be brave and venture inside - you'll find the welcome hugely warm and the food/drink delicious.

Try the Margheritaville Sand Bar, Cleveland's and Bertha's Blue Dinghy. Also seek out Banana Bay too which is a fair walk down the beach but a beautiful one. They all come highly recommended.

Diamonds, you rock! Keep doing the great work you're doing and thank you again Gladys and Shirley. We hope to be be back.

I cannot say enough about the wonderful experience we had on diamonds by the sea. I went with my kids (17,6 and 3 ), my husband and my Mom, and we all felt that was one of the bests vacations ever. The cottages are in excellent condition, very clean and comfortable, everything that we need was there. I cannot wait to go back. Thank you Shirley for all your attention, and thank you Gladys for having that beautiful place.
