Hotels on the Lake in Cat Island

"Bay Breeze was everything we hoped for—and more.From the moment we arrived, our host Julius went above and beyond, he was amazing. When the rental car company didn’t have our vehicle, I messaged Julius —and within minutes he replied, “I’ll be right there.” True to his word, he showed up, drove us to an alternate car rental, and made sure we got exactly what we needed.The home itself is beautiful—spacious, spotless, comfortable, well-decorated, well stocked, and located on a calm, stunning beach. Better than I imagined it. The house had everything we needed, and coming back to Bay Breeze after each day’s adventure felt like a true retreat. The sunsets from the property were absolutely breathtaking. A/C in every bedroom was a bonus.Breakfast every morning under the pergola, kayaking Bennett’s Creek, and a bonfire during the sunset were magical.Before we left, Julius checked in again to make sure we had everything we needed. In all our vacation rentals stays, we’ve never experienced such attentive, kind host and owners who were wonderfully responsive—clear, prompt communication from start to finish.We loved our stay at Bay Breeze and you will too! Don’t hesitate to book this amazing place, you will not regret it. We absolutely recommend it!"

"Amanda’s place was the perfect stay for our multigenerational family. It is so beautiful and peaceful. The beach in front of the property is gorgeous. We spent hours swimming, strolling, and looking for conch and starfish. The night sky is dazzling with no pollution and more stars than you can imagine. The house is spacious, airy and very comfortable. We will be back!"

"We loved Sundance Beach House. The house was equipped with everything necessary to facilitate a pleasant holiday. Sundance is located on a beautiful, white sand beach. You cannot beat the location. Check in and out was easy and Leslie, the property manager, was lovely and kept us aware of the power cuts that the island was experiencing. All in all we had a great vacation and would love to return. "

"Comfortable home with terrific outdoor spaces and private beaches. Comfortable beds and well-equipped kitchen. Cat was a joy to communicate with and Debby and Tinny were extremely responsive. Really enjoyed our stay!"

"If you want quiet and relaxing this is for you, seclusion and privacy. Great hosts. Don’t go if you’re looking for a resort experience. This is for getting away and enjoying each other with the outside locked away for a few days. "

"Property and manager were great. "

"The property is beautiful and we enjoyed our stay. However, the listing was a bit misleading—only one bedroom and the bunkhouse were accessible, not the three bedrooms and baths advertised. There was no access to a washer/dryer, and the upstairs shower had very low water pressure. The upstairs bedroom and bathroom also lacked window coverings, which made privacy an issue. That said, the host was responsive and assured us these concerns would be addressed with the property manager."

"Fantastic experience "

"My mom and I absolutely loved our recent stay at Banana Winds on Cat Island! The location was stunning—right by the ocean—and the home was incredibly comfortable, well-equipped, and relaxing. It was hard to leave the house because it was so peaceful and beautiful.The locals were absolutely lovely, and the caretaker, Harrison, truly went above and beyond. My mom has alpha-gal syndrome, and this was her first time traveling with it. Harrison not only prepared two delicious, completely safe meals for her, but he also used fresh fruits and vegetables straight from his own garden—which made everything even more special. His thoughtfulness took so much stress out of the trip. He also gave us several personal recommendations for amazing beaches and places to explore—we discovered some real hidden gems thanks to him.We were also able to safely eat at a few restaurants, including Hidden Treasures and Greenwood, both of which were incredibly accommodating and caring about her allergies.I usually don’t return to the same place twice—I want to see as much of the world as I can—but this is one place I know I’ll be back to. I can’t wait to bring friends and family here and make it a regular part of my life. We truly can’t recommend it enough for its beauty, comfort, and the incredible kindness we experienced."
