Cat's Cove, Pigeon Cay - 2 Acres w/ Private Beach

Cat's Cove is situated on 2 private beachfront acres on the beautiful turquoise waters of the Exuma Sound. And with an empty lot next to us for even more privacy! We recently purchased the home in 2021 and have made many upgrades and renovations including new windows and doors in June 2023.

***For how to get to Cat Island...please scroll to the end!***

The Space:
The home features a large Tiki bar with seating for 8+, solar nighttime lighting, a sundeck, open floor plan with a fully stocked kitchen, indoor and outdoor dining areas, and wifi throughout the home. The "Cove" beach is wonderful for snorkeling right from the beach (we have some gear, but also bring own gear!). You can see many colorful tropical fish less than 50 yards from the beach! The "Tiki" beach to the left features pristine white soft sand and is ideal for swimming and relaxing. Just follow the short yellow ball path in front of the Tiki Bar to find the beach! (the sand shifts with the seasons, so depending when you're there, it might be more sandy on the Cove Beach, it might be more sandy on the Tiki beach!).

**When storms come the sand sometimes washes away from 1 or both beaches. It always comes back, but we'll try to keep you updated as your date approaches how sandy each beach is!** [See updated pics of the beaches from Sept 2024, super super sandy!]

The home features 3 bedrooms, a king, a queen, and 2 singles. The primary bedroom has access to a bathroom with dual sinks, newly installed large walk-in shower with natural stone and tile floors, and with a rain showerhead. All bedrooms enjoy their own outdoor access directly to the beach with beautiful views. The home also features beach chairs, various board games and reading books to enjoy when relaxing.

Guests have access to 2 ocean kayaks. Please be sure to drag them well up the beach when not as use as guests will be responsible for a charge of $1500 per kayak to replace them if lost or damaged.

Guest access:
New dishwasher, new stove, new washer/dryer. Although always best to hang clothes on the outside clothesline with the ocean breezes!

Wifi: We added Starlink in 2023 which provides generally very fast internet speeds. We also have an outdoor extender and an indoor one. In case you want to stay connected while on vacation. :)

Flights to Cat Island:

Makers Air: Fly into Ft. Lauderdale, Miami, or West Palm Beach, take an Uber to Ft. Lauderdale Executive Airport, and fly Maker's Air directly to New Bight Airport on Cat Island.

Western Air: Fly In Nassau. Fly Western Air directly to New Bight on Cat Island

Others: We can also help arrange charter flights if needed

Our Favorite Vacation!
This was our second time on Cat Island. Cat's Cove was nothing less than remarkable. We had really high expectations for the property based on reviews, photos and the video, but when we got there, Cat's Cove so exceeded what we imagined. The home is amazing. Really comfortable and in perfect condition with everything you need. But the location is just unreal. Its on a private beach with a pristine white sand beach on one side perfect for swimming and then a great reef on the other side for snorkeling and exploring. Tons of fish and sea turtles every day. I really cannot say enough. We have been to many islands and stayed in many villas. This was by far the best. In addition, the owners were amazing and super responsive to help with questions. The property managers, Tinny and Debbie were also super helpful and stopped by to make sure everything was good. The grounds keeper, Renaldo needs a big shout out. We loved talking with him and he made us fresh coconut water which was amazing and gave us lots of tips on things to do on Cat! Cat Island is a treasure. You have to go there to understand just how special it is.

Vacation
The 5 of us had a great time exploring Cat Island. The flats were close by to explore. We bought fish from Carl Pinder. I was amazed how much sand the beach lost on the beach in 2 days with the westerly winds blowing. Then 2 days later most of the sand was replenished. Awesome place to stay. Only negative was the mosquitoes after dark and the rain one night brought out the no see ems. This is so typical for any island in the Bahamas. Thanks Cat for letting us stay in your home.

The perfect honeymoon getaway
If you’re looking for a relaxing trip away from people and just want privacy, this is the place to go! The kitchen is stocked with everything you need to cook, the air conditioning works great, and the property is perfect! We snorkeled and kayaked every day! We also renewed our vows right on the beach! We had the beach to ourself the whole week!! We absolutely loved our stay at Cats Cove and plan to return one day!! Oh and the owners are wonderful and helpful in every way!!!

Paradise 🌴
We had the most wonderful time at Cat’s Cove on Cat Island! The property description could never do justice to this island paradise! Cat and Mark are the most thoughtful and accommodating hosts. The house was laid out as to offer togetherness, yet adequate space for myself, husband, 18 and 20 year old children. The tiki bar, sprawling patios and two private beaches were the icing on the cake! We explored the island, kayaked and snorkeled every day. We can’t wait to come back, as we left part of our hearts at Cat’s Cove.

I found cats cove as I was looking for a very secluded vacation destination and this place was absolutely amazing! We spent countless hours snorkeling and just taking in the breathtaking views. The entire process was very pain free and communication with the owner and property manager was top notch and we can’t thank you all enough!

Heaven on Earth
Our stay exceeded even my wildest hopes/expectations. The house is one of the best equipped rentals I have stayed in, despite being in a secluded location. Two private beaches. All the creature comforts. You fall asleep listening to the waves and wake up to the sunrise reflecting off the water. Only been gone a few days and I’m already desperate to return. A perfect stay!

Wonderful Week in Paradise
The property was the perfect holiday escape for our family of five, which includes three college-aged children. The property’s private beach provided hours of relaxation as the tropical tide washed away the worries of the world. On the few days when we experienced rain, the layout of the house enabled us to both gather together in common areas for playing games and preparing meals but also offered private areas to nap or read in solitude. The kitchen was well equipped for preparing three meals a day. The bedrooms were extremely comfortable, complemented by the soothing sound of the nighttime surf. This visit was our first to Cat Island, which was quiet, secluded, and seemingly uninhabited. It was the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of our daily lives. Each of us is counting the days until we can return.

Wonderful relaxing getaway!
We spent a week here with our 12 and 14 year old kids for spring break. This is one of the most amazing places that I have ever been to. The home is beautiful, however, pales in comparison to the beauty and awe of its surroundings! The beaches that are steps out of the door are 2nd to none! We were able to snorkel right off of the beech and saw tons of marine life including, but not limited to a huge 3-5' stingray! Both our kids and my wife and I had an amazing time. Leslie and Ned who take care of the property and own Pigeon Cay Beach resort are amazing! Can't wait until our next trip to Cat Island!

We were looking for a secluded place on the Bahamian water without the noise and buzz of crowds. That is exactly what we found here. The beauty and feeling of this place far surpassed our expectations. The sound of the water, sunsets, funny lizards, colorful flowers, beautiful water….too much beauty to mention. Already looking forward to going back!
