About this property
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!**
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. :)

Cathleen and Mark were the ideal hosts. They helped us with local knowledge and arranged a car rental for us. The house was charming and nicely appointed with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The beach in front was beautiful and the swimming was everything we hoped it would be.

Thank you John for the super kind words! We welcome you and your family back to Cats Cove anytime!! :) - Cat
We had a great stay on Cat Island and at Cat's Cove! The kitchen is well stock with pots, pans, and appliances. The netting around the beds was great for the no-see-ums and we loved the open kitchen into the living area concept. The gas grill was also super easy to use. Overall a great stay!

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this vacation rental! The location truly can’t be beat—right on a stunning beach with beautiful views and easy access to the sand and water. The home itself was incredibly cozy and welcoming, making it feel like a true home away from home from the moment we arrived.Everything was thoughtfully set up with comfort in mind, and the amenities were fantastic. The kitchen was fully equipped, the living spaces were comfortable and inviting, and there were plenty of extras that made our stay easy and relaxing. After long beach days, it was so nice to come back to a space that felt warm, clean, and perfectly maintained.This rental had everything we needed for a relaxing and memorable getaway. We couldn’t have asked for a better beach stay and would absolutely love to return!

Hi Lynne! Thank you so much for the great review. Happy to have you return anytime! -Cat
This was our second stay at this same location, and we have all just fallen in love with this area. When our daughter, who is a senior was given her choice in Spring Break trips, she didn't hesitate to pick this beautiful place, and we couldn't have had a better time. It was literally everything our family needed, and we hope to come back in the future!

The listing for Cats Cove doesn’t do it justice. The property is meticulously maintained, well appointed and in a perfect location to explore all of Cat Island. Cat and Mark (hosts) were always quick to respond to messages and very helpful throughout our stay.

Thank you so much for the kind words about our home on Cat Island. We love it there and happy to hear you did as well! -Cat 🌴
Cool house with a great location on the island. House had everything we needed and was very private. This was the only spot on the island we were bit up by the bugs and a new ceiling fan above the outdoor couch would have been nice to have for some airflow.

Thank you for kind words and we are really happy you enjoyed your stay. We are actually re-doing the porch area as I type this! Putting up a more solid roof and installing two outdoor ceiling fans. So should help with the shade and bugs!! -Cat
We had a wonderful stay in fantastic Cat Island.
Cats Cove is a beautiful and very well set out villa. The owner puts mucht tought into detail and a very welcoming atmosphere.
The manager Debbi is very helpful and a fantastic cook.
Definitely would love to come back to this beautiful place.

Smith/Short/Wallin-Ralles family celebration of life
Cat’s Cove was an excellent place for our family gathering right on the ocean. The adult kids enjoyed the snorkeling right out front. The older gals loved the kayaks and swimming. It was perfect for the family of 6. This was my fourth time back to Cat Island and the first time in Pigeon cay. I loved the central location on the island. The home was everything we expected and was so relaxing. The owners and property managers were exceptional! We will be back!

So happy to welcome you and your family to our home and ty for the great review! We welcome you back anytime :)
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!

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!!!

So happy to hear you had a wonderful vacation at our home! And glad it worked out to renew your vows on our beach. We look forward to welcoming you back anytime!! :)
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!

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!

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.

Thank you so much for the very kind words Emily, they really mean a lot to us. We strive to provide a home away from home on our little slice of paradise. And happy to welcome you back anytime! - Cat
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!

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.

Carl is a great local fisherman to buy fresh fish and lobster from! Glad to hear you enjoyed exploring the island and enjoyed staying at Cat's Cove. And yes, those noseeums can be bad sometimes with the rain and or no wind, but glad it was only one night! We welcome you back any time. :)
