Also, the beach has 937 sq ft. of beach of secluded frontage. This unique villas has a one of a kind tranquil feeling with its own private lookout and sandy beach just steps away. This 3 bedroom and 2 full bathroom Villa with an additional showed outsidd is in a very desired area due to its abundant marine life amongst its coral reefs.

Graduation Celebration
We loved the seclusion and privacy of this property. The house is well maintained and updated. Beautiful beach with good snorkeling. Appreciated the water cooler and high-end appliances. Enjoyed dinners at Hidden Treasures and Greenwood Resort. Everyone on the island was kind and helpful. We rented a car through Alvernia and it was a positive experience. Beds were comfy and it was nice to have the air conditioning. Raj was always responsive and helpful with all our questions and concerns. We enjoyed the use of the kayak and found a nearby cave that was fun to explore. Saw lots of turtles, rays, and beautiful fish while snorkeling. We hope to return!

We loved staying here. It was very private and quiet. Aside from some minor maintenance issues the house was well appointed and clean. We really enjoyed having the beach right outside of the back door.

Great location
House in excellent condition. Beach private and very nice. Location great in the day, at sunset and at night. At night you have very low ambient light which makes great star gazing. The viewing platform at the west end of the beach allows you to watch the sunset. On the negative side, the reef like many these days is in poor condition. However there are some heathy areas and some fish mostly off of the first house to the east. Internet a little slow for ip tv. I am still rating the house as a 5 because the good out ways the small issues and Raj was very helpful

Beach paradise off the beaten path
If you are willing to be away from everyone and cook your own meals this home is a slice of heaven. We never saw anyone on the beach and had the whole place to ourselves. It’s fairly remote so not for all travelers but we will go back and willing to bring the whole family. Meal planning is necessary as stores are far away and options limited but if you want blue water that is crystal clear and sand that feels like butter this is your place! Can’t wait to go back. The host and at location were great help

Trip of a Lifetime
Trip of a lifetime for me and my family! We have five kids ranging from age 2 up to 15 and being steps away from the turquoise water was absolutely dreamy! There’s superb snorkeling, just yards into the water. We found a variety of fish and conch each day. My kids loved fishing from the kayaks and checking out look out point . The breeze kept bugs at bay for the most part and the house had everything you could possibly need for the family. Raj has been the most communicative host we’ve ever had, and had fantastic recommendations for a rental car and fishing charter. Cat Island gave us options for a quiet and true Bahama vacation without the business of some of the more touristy/ built-up islands. Captain Carlton took us to a few snorkeling areas, found us an excellent spot where we caught snapper that he cooked for us for lunch and we even had a barracuda catch near the end of our day. He was friendly and eager to show my kids the fishing ropes. The people of Cat Island are some of the nicest we’ve experienced in the Bahamas. We took a day trip and flew over to Staniel Cay which was only 20 minutes. We went to a few resorts for the day like Beachwood and Hawks Nest where they were lots of fun activities to do while grabbing lunch. We are already planning our next trip back!

Family Vacation to Casa Bella
Overall the house was fantastic and very well-appointed. The kitchen had every appliance and amenity that we could ever need. Two of the three bedrooms had beautiful ocean views and all the beds were comfortable. Both bathrooms were spacious, clean and modern. The grounds around the house were fascinating and we loved walking to the little lookout hut and listening to the crabs scurrying away in the brush. The beach right outside is beautiful and makes for lovely long walks. (Not good for snorkeling, and the waves were choppy for most of our stay.) We arrived after some major storms that had apparently flooded the roads and created many potholes so driving back and forth to the busier parts of the island was time-consuming. Many of the nearby restaurants seemed closed much of the time, the exceptions being Sweet Tamarind and the Greenwood Resort. Both were delicious and the hosts were entertaining. Definitely have lunch or dinner at Hidden Treasurers and buy bread and jam at Olive’s Bakery, both about 30 minutes north in the New Bight area. Raj provides a great notebook in the house with lots of information about visiting sites on the island, but you’ll need to make sure you can get to them. Be sure to rent a high clearance 4-wheel drive vehicle if you want to get to the windward beaches on the island as we couldn’t get there in our regular SUV rental due to mud and road conditions. The people on Cat Island are the most friendly we have ever met in the Caribbean.

Amazing and Private.
So many amazing features I can’t list them all. This place is a tropical paradise. Secluded, you have the entire beach to yourself, plus a private overlook pavilion. Plenty of places to go see but no need to leave this property. It includes everything you need to snorkel or kayak. Amazing reefs right out from to keep you busy snorkeling your entire stay. Plenty of chairs for the beach, and even includes a large gasgrill
