The perfect vacation home depends on what your perfect vacation is. This was MY perfect vacation home. We wanted comfort, and seclusion and we got it! We stayed early November of 2025 and never saw more than two people out walking the beach. There are a couple other homes within view but they were empty. The deck looking out over the ocean was definitely a highlight but the inside was very nice also. The upstairs and downstairs can be rented separately but we rented both just to make sure we were alone. Also there is some snorkeling stuff in the garage (accessed from the upstairs unit and more in a closet in the downstairs unit. A couple things to be aware of. You have to buy drinking water and ice for drinks since the house water is only for bathing. Also the house is quite a drive from almost all stores and restaurants so buy plenty of supplies before going there. Spend time on google earth getting familiar with the island and where some of the stores and food places are. There are two main grocery stores and both are ok but we liked Gilberts better. And while we didnt explore lots of places to eat we loved Hidden Treasures with chef Trevor. It takes quite a while to get your food so i recommend calling your order in an hour early or take your swimsuits and swim in the calm crystal clear water right outside his backdoor while you wait. The property manager lana was great and very responsive to amy questions we had.

Rainer’s property on Cat Island is an excellent home on an unpopulated stretch of beach. Coordination was thorough and thoughtful, and Lana (the house manager) really set us up well for the week. The home itself is very well-appointed. My family rented both apartments and stayed for a week during Christmas. The rooms and kitchens were clean and comfortable, and everything worked well. It was definitely the nicest house I’ve stayed in on Cat Island. The wifi was spotty at best, but you don’t go to Cat for the reliable internet. We had miles of beach to ourselves, and there was reef right off the beach that we could snorkel. The sea wasn’t as a calm or clear as the Caribbean side, but my two year old still happily played in the water every day with no issue. It is a bit of a low-tide beach, but still worked for us on a daily basis. The location was very isolated, and you definitely need to rent a car to access it. It’s not quite in Port Howe, and you’re 10-15 mins from the nearest town (which was never an issue). Overall, I definitely recommend coming to visit. We’ll be back!

I can not say enough things about the house!!! The house was fabulous, lovely beach!!! We did not want to leave!!The host was absolutely wonderful. The Property Manager, Lana, helped us in every way. We can not thank her enough!!! I cant wait to go back!

The view from this location is stunning and the beach is beautiful. A few things I wish we would have know before we went: 1. When we got to the house their was no fresh water. Be sure you pick up a 5 gallon jug of water before you come to the home. 2. Due to high rains the roads were flooded so it took as quite a while to get to and from the grocery store. The location is remote so you don't want to have a flat tire. Be careful of the potholes. 3. A.J.'s convenience is closer than Gilberts and the lady at this store is very nice and helpful. She cautioned us on a couple locations that were flooded and to be very careful when driving. 4. The house is well equipped. 5. The owners at the Greenwood Beach Resort down the beach from the house are friendly. 6. If you want a totally remote get away this is for you.
