Further details for this holiday house rental in Cat Island, Bahamas

Bonefishing: Cat Island offers many ideal spots for bonefishing. Local guides are available, if you like, to point you in the right direction by boat, or on foot. Anglers can quietly stalk these elusive fish by wading through knee-deep water. These quicksilver fighters, weighing up to 15 pounds, inspire both fly fishermen and spin casters alike with their power and speed. Unpredictable and wily, the bonefish are often found in schools of 50 or more, making for exciting bursts of action. With Bennett's Creek leading to Alligator point just up the beach, you'll have miles of wadable flats right outside the patio door.

Scuba Diving: Top Dive Locations: First Basin Wall: 100-200ft. Facing the Great Bahamas Bank is a spectacular deep water drop-off. Its proximity to the deep ocean provides many encounters with schooling jacks, Eagle Rays and, occasionally, sharks. Blue Hole: 80-100ft. Out on the bank is a magnificent Blue Hole. Inside the opening divers often encounter schools of fish, large groupers and Caribbean Reef Sharks. White Hole Reef expresses another phenomenon peculiar to The Bahamas: circular depressions in the limestone basin that form flat basins surrounded by coral mounds. These sites serve as an oasis for solitary reef and schooling fish. White Hole Reef: Circular depressions in the limestone basin surrounded by coral mounds The Tunnels: 30ft. The Tunnels can be reached from the beach. They begin in very shallow water and descend through a series of crevices, canyons and fissures to a coral garden Third Basin Reef: Wall 110-130ft. Nearly vertical drop-off with giant sponges and black

Cat Island holiday house rental rating 55/5
Sun and Sand
sick of snow  Listowel, Ontario, Canada
Review Submitted: May 20, 2009 Date of Stay: February 2009
we really needed this vacation, so we were very pleased when we arrived to find this home so beautiful. everything was exactly as discribed. we have rented homes in the bahamas before and in this price range, this is by far the nicest place we've stayed at with the best amenities. fabulous beach!
also, it was extremely helpful to be able to rent the owner's vehicle, as vehicle rentals in the islands can be not the nicest.
we were advised to bring food along (what ever you can carry) however, we found this to be a pain and not really needed. the grocery stores are modest but if you are not expecting a gourmet grocery, you can easily make do. we used the BBQ every day.
the liquor stores are well stocked.
if you are looking for a layed back vacation, this is a great place.
we hope to go back some day.

Bahama Blue  Coconut Grove, Fl. USA
Review Submitted: June 2, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2009
Best house ever. Great location, lee side of Cat Island. Sugar sand beach, clear, calm turquoise water. Perfect for relaxing swimming, floating in a tube and drinking pina-coladas with tiny umbrellas. Kitchen is a pleasure, well equipped with every state of the art gadget. Creative indoor supply of kid stuff, paints, crayons, pencils, paper, games, books and pails, floats, snorkel equip (for all) etc Good washer/dryer. Soap, First Aid kit, basic spices, etc provided. Very nice. Tropical cookbooks, drink books, Paul Humanns comp. set of coral reef ID books. House clean, well maintained. Nice furniture, thick towels, beach towels, quality linens. All in abundance.TV and DVDs. Location quiet, beach clean. Local people helpful and friendly. Great creek for kayaking and exploring. Lori (owner) very accessible for help by email or phone. Our family consisted of 6 including a 4 year old mermaid in training. As young as our mermaid is I think this vacation will be remembered forever. We rented 2 cars for complete freedom. Men fished, ladies explored, relaxed, read, collected conch shells and beach glass. Huge empty conch shells are everywhere. Emily's straw mkt in Arthur Town was beautiful and reasonable with lovely straw work. Mrs. C in Orange Creek grocery store can get or find what you need. She knows everything. Cat Island is a place for people who want to getaway and unwind. The roads are good, island safe, if the natural environment calls to you, this slice of paradise is your island.

Best of the Bahamas
Mermaid in Training  Hollywood, FL and Pennsylvania
Review Submitted: June 2, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2009
I have stayed in 11 different beachfront rental properties in the Bahamas (on Long Island, Staniel Cay, Cat Island, Abacos and Great Exuma) and can say that hands down this is the best of the best that I've been to. The house is beautifully thought out, the kitchen absolutely amazing and the beach out-of-this-world. Pictures cannot do it justice. With the two kayaks you can take an amazing eco-paddle up nearby Bennett's Creek or snorkel and see an impressive variety of tropical fish at Pompeii Rocks at the other end of the beach.

6 of us spent a glorious week at the house - including my 4 year old niece who was on her first Bahamas outing and was in Mermaid's training. She got to experience some amazing firsts - using her new fins & mask, catching her first fish, including a # of great games at the house, used a lot of the great toys from the kids' closet and was able to watch Ariel (I think that's her name) on the big-screen tv in the mornings before venturing out for more of her "training".

The description provided for the house is accurate, but doesn't totally do it justice...this place must be experienced! house was very clean and I would highly recommendit for those looking for total escape.

Cat island isn't for everyone - if you are looking for casinos and "high-roller" type entertainment - go to another island. This is where you and your family and friends can get back to reality and spend quality time while swimming in bathwater warm, crystal clear water, or lounging in the hammock. There is beachcoming on the Atlantic side of the island, and many other amazing places to explore on the island = which is almost 60 miles long - so I Highly recommend having a rental car while you are there. Best to bring as much of your own food as possible - but there are good grocery stores at Orange Creek, and in the town of New Bight.

The frozen drink machine is a wonderful idea but used the blender for concocting our evening libations while waiting to see the green flash. We didn't see it this time - but are certainly looking foward to going back and trying again!

You must be comfortable walking into small local stores and restaurants to enjoy the full flavor of this friendly island, where everyone waves when you drive by, and is happy to help you if you have questions. Just remember to be polite -

The owners are very nice and available but they aren't hovering - allow you to totally enjoy your stay in peace & quiet.

Cat Island House
kathetique  Auburn, Maine
Review Submitted: May 16, 2009 Date of Stay: April 2009
What a totally wonderful place. The pictures don't do the house justice. The great room is huge and easily accommodates a group. We had six and could have easily been comfortable with a couple more. The house is amazingly well equipped, from beach and snorkeling paraphanalia to a kitchen that was better equipped than my own at home to a huge DVD collection and games for kids. Danny, the caretaker/cab driver was welcoming and most helpful. As it turned out, we didn't need to call on him, other than getting a ride back to the airport, but he was full of useful information and made us comfortable that if anything came up, we'd have someone to turn to. The location of the house was perfect. The beach was every bit as beautiful as any Caribbean beach you could imagine and shared with only a few other houses. A creek comes into the ocean a 500 feet or so from the house, and it forms a spit of beach that is accessible only by boat or swim which makes for a totally isolated, deserted beach, The creek itself is also great for kayaking and espying all manner of wild life. We saw rays, a barracuda, a turtle and green herons that allowed us to practically touch them. We also snorkeled just about every day over the reefs immediately to the left and right of the house. It was like swimming in an aquarium - a huge assortment of colorful fish and coral. The island itself is magical with its lack of development relative to most of the Caribbean. We really felt like we were able to be part of the island culture, and the islanders were without exception warm and lovely. You do need to make advance plans if you want to eat at a restaurant, but with a few hours advance notice, you will be nicely accommodated. We had a lovely dinner at Periwinkles, we also had an impromptu lunch at Bluebird which was great, and Yardie, who is just up the road makes a wicked good conch salad. As Danny said, it goes best with and ice cold beer. Groceries were readily available at several different locations. Don't expect to find the variety available in American super markets, but if you're somewhat flexible you fill find everything you need to eat well. We also had a lot of fun exploring the island by car. Don't miss the Hermitage! If you're looking for a fast paced vacation this is probably not the place for you. If you're looking for a relaxed time at one of the most beautiful places on earth and would like to get a taste of what the Bahamas used to be, this it.

Sea Breeze visit
Steve@KXVG  Hackensack, Minnesota, USA
Review Submitted: April 26, 2009 Date of Stay: March 2009
Our group of 3 couples stayed at Sea Breeze for a week in March of '09 and was very pleased with the property! The property description on VRBO was accurate and there were no surprises. The home was clean and well maintained, the beds were comfortable and there was an ample supply of clean linen and towels. The kitchen had more gadgets and appliances then you could ever use in a one week stay, but we sure gave the Margarita machine a good workout. Each night we had dinner on the patio where we watched the sunset, one night were even saw the “green flash”.

The beach right in front of the house was great for swimming. Snorkeling was fantastic within an easy 5 minute swim. One day we walked over to the Atlantic side (about 2-1/2 miles one way), the beach there was fantastic, the surf was breaking outside the coral barrier so there were several protected places to swim. And except for us it was deserted. A day trip we recommend.

Bennett’s Harbour, and pretty much all Cat Island, is remote and quiet so if you are looking for night clubs and a party scene this is not the place for you, what you will find is a relaxed, unhurried and friendly atmosphere. But plan ahead, bring as many groceries as you can from the States, the grocery store is adequately stocked but food is expensive. And so is beer at around $40 a case, rum however is cheap!!

Overall our group gives high marks to Sea Breeze.
