The Boathouse is located on Pigeon Cay beach, in easy walking distance to the Pigeon Cay Beach Club. Our 3 1/4 acre property has a breathtaking, white sand private beach on the warm and gin clear water of the sea. Pigeon Cay is located on the leeward side of Cat Island making for calm waters & beautiful clean beaches. Our beach is located on a secluded, 3 mile beach which extends to Alligator Point. Pigeon Creek is a large salt water inlet which is behind the house and runs parallel to the beach. Pigeon Creek opens to the sea at Alligator Point and provides for exceptional kayaking in calm waters. You can kayak from behind the Boathouse, out to the sea at Alligator Point, & then back to our beach on the ocean. Sea turtles and large rays are frequently encountered while kayaking in Pigeon Creek. Bonefishing on the fly is exceptional in Pigeon Creek,and also in Smith Bay to the South and Orange Creek to the North. Restaurants & bars serving local fare (lobster, conch) are nearby.

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

Cat Island Overview: Untainted by tourism, Cat Island is the sixth-largest island in The Bahamas. The fishhook-shaped island — some 48 miles long and 1 to 4 miles wide and lies about 325 miles southeast of Miami. Named after the pirate Arthur Catt, it’s located near the Tropic of Cancer, between Eleuthera and Long Island. It has one of the best climates in The Bahamas, with temperatures in the high 60s during the short winters, rising to the mid-80s in summer, with trade winds making the place even more comfortable. With its pristine virgin beaches, Cat Island is one of the most beautiful islands in The Bahamas, and it is so little visited that it's inexpensive and still feels undiscovered. Many local historians claim that Cat Island residents were the first to see Columbus. The great explorer himself was believed by some to have been welcomed here by the peaceful Arawaks. Beautiful beaches offer an array of water sports. Visitors can go swimming or snorkeling at several places.

Boathouse housekeeping and maintenance: The Boathouse is professionally cleaned and maintained. Property manager on-island to assist with any questions or requests you may have. Property manager will also assist with car rental reservations, restaurant recommendations, grocery store/liquor store/wine shop directions,airport pickup details and directions to not-to-miss sights.

Kayaks, canoe and bicycles: The use of kayaks, canoe and bicycles is included in your stay at the Boathouse. Additional beach chairs, a beach umbrella and an ice chest are also stored in the garage for your enjoyment. A portable CD player (Walkman) is available at the house for you to use at the beach. There is a large lending library at the Boathouse which includes many new fiction and non-fiction books. Numerous Caribbean cookbooks and favorite Bahamian recipes are located in our library.

paradise!!!

Miles and Stephanie Virginia Beach, VA USA
Review Submitted: November 20, 2008 Date of Stay: November 2008
The Boathouse was just perfect! This site describes the Boathouse very accurately, but we were still in awe of the beauty of the beach, the water, and the island once we set foot in this paradise. The house was well equipped and had everything we needed. It was easy to get groceries or eat out (the local food was fabulous!) We would recommend having a car to explore this scenic island.

The Boathouse truly is a romantic place to relax on one of the comfortable lounge chairs, experience the cool breeze while taking a warm shower on the deck, or to enjoy the large music and book collections. We felt that we were away from it all, but we were pleased that there was a phone in the house just in case we needed to contact “the outside world.” Of course, the Leslie at Pigeon Cay was close by and helped us with anything we needed. Internet access was close by, and there were beach chairs and plenty of towels and kitchen equipment.

The Boathouse was everything we expected and more. We cannot wait to return.

a dream house

torzameb Toronto
Review Submitted: September 15, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2009
The house was over our expectation. So perfect and so beautiful.It is really a dream house.
Excellent choice of color and furniture. The design enable you to have a 360 view and always have fresh air by opening all the glass door. It is like living outside for the all week and enjoy the view . We loved the outside shower and the air con in the bedroom for the night. House is really 2 minutes walking distance from the beach and what beach !! immaculate and very clear. Too bad there was not so much shade on the beach so it was not possible to stay and read there without burning. But the water was warm and so clear.
2 miles north from the house you can buy lobsters tails at TITO's place .(thanks Leslie for the advice ) Kitchen is fully equipped to cook them . My husband like to cook and he enjoyed reading the cook book about Bahamian recipes .

We will definitively come back to this lovely gateway . It is perfect for 2.

Very secluded place and perfect for our honeymoon.
Cat island is like a gem. Very few tourists and people are very friendly . Nothing to do except relaxing and find yourself but that 's what we wanted .

Leslie was also so nice with us. Thanks a lot .

Cat Island/Boathouse July 21-28 2009

De & Sa Southeast Texas
Review Submitted: August 11, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
This was our 1st trip to the Bahamas and it was a leap of faith to go to an outer island based only on reviews. A storm knocked out the phones and we stayed during a week that Pigeon Cay was closed, so having a vehicle all week was the way to go. With phones and Pigeon Cay open for meals, I believe all we needed was a 2 or 3 day rental. We bought the items we needed for breakfast and light meals and started to the house. The one major road was fine and the ocean views were stunning. The houses and restaurants were close to the road; small structures and kept up in a minimal manner. Our first impression was that these were not inviting places to visit. That impression would change.

The Boathouse is unique: the downstairs area is for storage and laundry, the wrap around porch includes the shower area, the kitchen/living room area, and the bedroom/toiletry area. All the double doors will lock in an open position so the whole house is open to the wind. When we arrived a nice breeze was blowing so we opened the doors and started to experience the uniqueness. The breeze was wonderful even in late July and the sounds you hear are of the wind and the waves. It was a wonderful way to sleep and to wake up. We could see a few houses on the beach side, but the Boathouse is the only home on the estuary side. With the complete realization of an outside bathing area, and everything in the home in great shape, including the AC, we had everything we needed.

The beach is the most beautiful beach I have been on. Pigeon Cay is a short walk to the left as you enter the beach and you quickly walk past the homes on the right to a completely natural beach area. The beach turns to volcanic rock before you reach Alligator Point which is one of the most beautiful spots I have seen. We visited the other island resorts and beaches. All of them were absolutely spectacular, but with the Boathouse, a beach that seemed to have no end, and Alligator Point, I never saw anything that made we wish I had another spot.

We came to Cat Island knowing it was an outer island and we could face some issues. The phones being down and having to use some bug spray were the most that came our way. The actual largest issue we had came on our last day when time returned as a weight on our shoulders. A whole week of tropical paradise and it was ending. We snorkeled and walked the beach one last time. Would we go back? Absolutely! Would we stay at the Boathouse? Absolutely!

Relaxing

Mattie and Philip Austin, TX
Review Submitted: July 18, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
The boathouse was amazing. We were very pleased to learn that all the reviews and descriptions are right on. This was just what we were looking for, a quiet place in a beautiful location. Our favorite thing about the boathouse is definitely the outdoor shower, it was absolutely wonderful. We have never before looked forward to taking so many showers! It was great during the day with the ocean breeze and at night with all the stars. Oh the stars, it was awesome to see so many stars! The wrap around deck made it easy to find the best place to lounge. The majority of the cooking was done at the house and it was great to eat outside all the time.

We loved the beach, it was perfect, the sands are white, the waters are turquoise, and you can see to the bottom of the ocean floor. Most days we were the only ones at the beach! It is the perfect place to simply relax.

Leslie was great, she was very nice and very helpful. The people there are very friendly.

For a self-sufficient vacation, we could have not asked for more. We loved it!

AWESOME!

James_Robin Harleysville, PA USA
Review Submitted: May 30, 2009 Date of Stay: March 2009
Cat Island is beautiful. The people are friendly, the atmosphere is laid back, the food is delicious, and the scenery is gorgeous.

The Boat House is an awesome place! We went there for our honeymoon. It was a bit of a risk to pick a honeymoon destination based soley on pictures and reviews posted on the internet, but it turned out to be a great choice. The reviews were accurate. The pictures don't do it justice though. It is even more beautiful in person.

The Boat House is was a very comfortable place to stay. Very well thought out with everything you need. Very private and romantic, yet just a short walk from Pigeon Cay Resort. Getting there was easy. Lesley & Ned (At Pigeon Cay) arranged for a taxi to pick us up at the airport, and we stopped at the grocery store on our way to the house.

You could spend every day relaxing on the beach... or you could do what we did. Every day we packed a lunch and either hiked, biked or drove somewhere. We swam and snorkeled by the resort, biked over to the North Shore to go fishing, and took the canoe down the creek. Every day was an adventure. We were only there for a week, and we ran out of time before we ran out of things to do. Next tme we're going for at least two weeks! We are definitely going back!!
