The properties on Diamond Cove, a small number of which are available for rent, have been restored and renovated from the remnants of Historic Fort McKinley. Barracks and Officer’s Quarters, the largest of our accommodations, have become gracious homes with slate roofs, wooden porches, grand staircases and fireplaces. Sergeant’s Quarters and Patio Homes are smaller; many with original tin ceilings and hardwood floors.   You can even rent the original Firebarn, now a charming freestanding home. In addition to the historic homes on the Fort, there are also private homes for rent located along the coast of the Cove. All the rental properties have outdoor living space with either covered porches or private patios. Diamond Cove offers many amenities including Diamond’s Edge Restaurant, a 5-star restaurant operated seasonally, real estate office,  art gallery, and museum.

Please visit Great Diamond Rentals to see which homes are available to rent.
