Waterfront vacation rentals in Cat Island

We absolutely loved this beautiful beach house and Fernandez Bay Beach. September is when most restaurants are closed, we were so thankful Jana had such a well stocked kitchen. We did enjoy conch salad at Duke’s twice and delicious dinners twice at Hidden Treasures at Regatta/Cultural Park. Water view out both bedrooms, dining area, living room and back porch was spectacular! Amazing sunrises off front porch over the coconut tree and sunsets from the back porch. Great snorkeling, kayaking and exploring by the rocks in all directions. Cat Island is friendly, natural, uncrowded. Alvernia’s Food Store was great for car rental and the freshest groceries/good selection during our 2 week stay. The Cat Island map made it easy to explore/adventure out each day, great pics! Always nice to be back at the beach house for a swim and outdoor shower! Nice hot indoor showers if rain approached. Definitely planning to return! Thankful to celebrate our 35th Wedding Anniversary at such a special place!

This is our second visit at White Ocean Coral, and you cannot beat the direct beach location and incredible views from every room! Home is clean, private, and with the amenities you need for a proper vacation. Excellent communication with the caretaker and owner of the home, and if you’ve been to Cat Island, you know how special it is. You can stroll the beach right in front of the house and not see anyone, it’s like your own private piece of paradise. We feel so lucky to have found this home and will be back!

A definite slice of secluded paradise. This is the first time we have stayed this south on Cat Island and we enjoyed the central location. Definitely utilize Debbie the cook! It was one of the many highlights of the trip!

My stay at Fountain Bay was amazing! I only stayed a day but it felt like a week due to the hospitality of my host, Wendy. The resort itself sits on a beautiful beach that that is pristine. I was also blown away by the cleanliness of the rooms. Everything exceeded my expectations. Fountain Bay is a must visit. See Wendy & Thera!

Sandcastle exceeded our expectations in every way. The location was absolutely perfect—just steps from the pristine beach with crystal-clear waters that made for incredible swimming and snorkeling. It felt like a secluded paradise, yet we loved having a restaurant within walking distance for a delicious meal. The home’s open design and large windows filled the space with natural light creating a warm and inviting atmosphere that instantly made us feel at home. It was thoughtfully stocked with everything we needed and more—from a fully equipped kitchen and laundry to comfortable furniture, quality linens, and cozy beds. We made full use of the snorkels, stand-up paddleboard, kayak, and floaties, encountering incredible marine life and discovering hidden beaches which felt like private treasures. Our exceptional hosts enriched our trip with local insights of places and history we’d never have discovered otherwise. Sandcastle was a perfect island retreat—we can’t wait to return!

Updated, clean, and perfectly located. Everything was as advertised and worked perfectly, and Victoria responded within minutes to all of our inquiries. I would definitely rent this house again!!

We spent two glorious weeks at Fix Ya Face and as we left today we realized…it did fix our faces! Months of stress left us, replaced by smiles and relaxation on our faces. The house, the view, and the location are ideal. It’s a short path to the beach and a short path to Shannas Cove restaurant if you enjoy incredible, unique, chef-designed meals in an intimate setting as we do! The house is very well appointed. We lacked nothing. We’ve explored many of the beaches around the island and you can’t beat the location of this home on Shannas Cove for swimming, safe snorkeling, and walking. There was always something to see! The view from the house is breathtaking. Kelly and Windy are wonderful hosts and we look forward to returning next year!

Stayed here with a few friends to celebrate my 40th bday. I was looking for a wild and rustic destination that had authentic character and this spot fit the bill perfectly. Cat island’s relative isolation and lack of major development can and maybe should scare off some visitors. But for us, the effort it took to get here was repaid 10 fold. And the Spirit House and Andrew (the host) felt particularly special on top of all that. Don’t expect a tv or luxurious amenities (we don’t need them anyway). But you can walk to the beaches close by (bring close toed shoes on the rocks), swim in crystal clear water, fish, nap, star gaze, etc. Or if you need a little more socialization, brave the bumpy roads and hit up some of the local establishments and connect with some friendly locals over cracked conch and Kalik. Can’t wait to come back.

We stayed here with another couple for a long weekend and had an epic time. We highly recommend having Harrison cook your dinner for your first night there, the food was delicious and we had plenty left over. He is a great caretaker and very friendly. We loved the location and enjoyed exploring the beautiful beaches on Cat Island. Da Pink Chicken is very close by and we had dinner there our last night. If it’s open while you’re there, check it out, it’s a unique experience!
