Vacation rental property on Cat Island, Bahamas. Clear water, great diving and snorkeling. Secluded beaches. Access for private pilots or charter.
The Tahitian-style wood shingle roof of the Cottage is a welcome sign to the idyllic vacation haven of Cat Island. Sliding glass doors open onto stone patios from every room.
There are two bedrooms and a large sleeping loft, two bathrooms with walls of glass looking into a walled garden, a large living room with dining area and a fully-equipped kitchen.
The high cathedral ceiling gives a great feeling of space. With the sliders open you can hear the ocean and the sound of the wind blowing through the coconut and casuarina trees.
Commercial Airlines
LynxAir fly from Ft. Lauderdale direct to New Bight on Friday mornings. They are reliable and usually on time. If you don't want to charter a flight, we recommend LynxAir.
BahamasAir has scheduled flights from Nassau to New Bight. Unfortunately, they keep changing the days that they fly to Cat Island. At some times they do not fly on Fridays. For the current schedule, please see BahamasAir Schedule
If they do have an appropriate flight, you can now book directly with BahamasAir, your local travel agent or Expedia
Air Sunshine flies from Ft. Lauderdale to New Bight. Unfortunately, their schedules are not very convenient. However, if you intend to book a 10 day vacation, then it may work out. They charge about $415 roundtrip.
Private Charter
We use a private charter flying out of Pembroke Pines (near Ft. Lauderdale). For a party of up to 5 with moderate baggage allowances, the cost is about $900 each way. You can even fly directly into Hawk's Nest and customs/immigration will come out to meet you (for about US $70 extra). Call Cat Island Properties for more information.
General Aviation
Hawk's Nest airstrip is less than 2 miles from The Cottage.
Boat
If you are sailing, you could get a slip at Hawk's Nest marina. They can accommodate large yachts (certainly up to 100 foot). Of course, they will charge for the slip!
We have heard that it is possible to use the Mail Boat from Nassau to Cat Island.
Off the southeast coast of Eleuthera is 45 mile long Cat Island. Approximately 325 miles from Miami, there are nearly 1700 residents throughout Cat Island's 150 square miles. Full of hills and brimmed with cliffs and tropical forests, plants and animals typical of the West Indies.
It is believed that Cat Island was discovered by Christopher Columbus and was initially named San Salvador. Thereafter the name was changed by Parliament to Cat Island, after Arthur Catt, a buccaneer who was believed to have buried treasure on the island.
The island is unspoiled by modernization, on a whole, and is dotted with churches offering interesting architecture. Monsignor John Hawkes designed four himself. Sightseers should not miss Mount Alvernia. Father Jerome built a miniature replica of a European hermitage at the top. This is the highest point in the Bahamas. Make a point of seeing Deveaux House plantation and outbuildings.
There are breathtaking beaches, caves, ruins, ancient camp sites, coral reefs blue holes (cenote) and much more which remains unspoiled by modernization. The seas around Cat Island abound with fish, crawfish (Bahamian Lobster), reefs and offer so much for the visitor to experience and explore. |
