Vacation rentals with a fire pit in Exuma

Absolutely fantastic! Just what we were looking for. Situated perfectly on top of a hill, overlooking the ocean, the views were unbelievable. We stayed 8 nights with our two adult children and their partners. Stephen’s house was perfect, giving everyone private space yet with a large communal area; kitchen, living room, and patio for coming together for meals and card games. Although it’s described as “off the grid” we lacked for nothing. Hot tub, pool, full laundry, a/c, a well managed house. We were more aware of our environment footprint, yet we lacked for nothing nor did we go without. We lived just like we were at home. Even with the remote house location there were two perfect rustic beach shacks within 10 minute walks along the beach. We had great food and drink service at both. Finally the beach, over a mile of unspoiled paradise. Shallow clear waters, beautiful colors, insanely peaceful. Absolutely no crowds. At most we saw maybe 30 people on the busiest day.

This was our third trip to the island, and by far, the best stay we've had! Cat was incredibly responsive and provided great insights. The house itself was beautiful, spacious, and well-equipped, especially the kitchen, which had everything we needed. The king-size bed was a treat and we loved watching the hermit crabs and lizards roam around daily. The beach was peaceful and private, perfect for relaxing. We enjoyed kayaking and snorkeling, both of which were fantastic. Power outages were minimal (to be expected on the island), and while water pressure on cisterns can be a bit low, it's nothing out of the ordinary. Overall, we had a perfect week in our favorite place and would highly recommend this property!

10/10 island life! Our stay at Bowe Cay was nothing short of spectacular. A perfect family escape to unwind and reconnect. The island is just the right blend of comfort and untouched natural beauty—completely private, peaceful, and surrounded by stunning waters. The main house and bungalows were spotless, spacious, and well-equipped with modern amenities like air conditioning, hot showers, and Wifi all while maintaining a cozy island feel. Ryan was fantastic to communicate with before our trip. Always quick to respond and incredibly helpful with all our questions. One of the highlights of our experience was Sam, our boat driver and guide. He was warm, welcoming, and full of local knowledge that made our time on the island even more special. He helped us get oriented, pointed out the best spots to explore, and made the boat rides feel like part of the adventure. Having access to the kayaks made island exploring even more fantastic! Thanks for hosting us Ryan, can't wait to come back!

Another fabulous stay at Shangri La. Beyond gorgeous beach!! Cat Island is where I go for great DIY bonefishing and to enjoy the welcoming and low key pace of the island.

Amanda’s place provides Cat island catharsis. Among the most cherished of travel experiences. Cat Island is remote, and so a real chance to disconnect from the world and restore in Bahamian beauty.

Kathleen has been an incredible host. She has always timely replied to our requests providing usefull information about the Island and the logistics. Cat Island is a very beautiful Island and Pigeon Cay, where the house is located, is one of the most beautiful beaches. We enjoyed the calm and trasparent water just in front of the house. We also enjoyed the nice walk alone the beach up to the end, back and forte … rarely meeting someone ! The house is perfectly organized and the screened patio allowed us to relax and to enjoy the view in absence of the annoying mosquitos. Last but not least we also admired the spectacular sunsets, weather has been amazing during our stay. We strongly recommend Kathleen’s House !

This was our second time staying here, we love it!! Quiet area, great view and convenient location if you want to adventure north or south.

This place was absolutely perfect! The house is adorable, thoughtfully designed, and the view is simply breathtaking. It had everything we needed for a comfortable, relaxing stay and offered some stunning photo opportunities. Spencer and Brendi were incredibly attentive, checking in throughout our trip to make sure we had everything we needed. From this location, you’re just a short drive away from some of the most beautiful beaches on the island, so we definitely recommend renting an SUV, as the roads can be a bit rough in places. Luckily, Brendi, the cohost, made renting a car super easy by meeting us right at the airport with the vehicle. I can’t wait to go back!
