A short 100' walk to the beach offers stunning coral reefs teaming with fresh lobster, conch and many varieties of beautiful tropical fish and wonderful views of sea life.

Our location is very private with a soft, pink sandy beach for your relaxation and pleasure. We offer free pickup from The Bight airport (TBI) with stops at the grocery and liquor stores for your convenience. If pickup is from Arthur's Town airport, there will be an additional $150 charge for round trip service.

Cat Island Retreat

This property met all expectations! As advertised, it was located in an area away from most everything except the ocean, the beach, quiet and a sky full of stars! Communications with the host was excellent. Even better was the housekeeper (Nikki) meeting us at the airport and taking us to our rental car, grocery store and bakery. Nikki then led us to the house and explained all the important features. Cat Island is as laid back as you can get and the people are helpful, polite and friendly. All of this made for a wonderful and relaxing stay.

Our stay at the Kiki House was just what the doctor ordered. Pristine waters, peaceful and warm sunny days on our very own beach. No long lines of people to battle with. It was absolutely perfect. Everyone we ran into was so welcoming and helpful. Thank you for sharing your home with us. We hope to be back one day!

A beautiful place in a beautiful place

We were looking for a place to stay that was comfortable but far away from resorts and other people. That is exactly what we got! Nancy and her caretaker were both very responsive and helpful. For those new to Cat Island they both provide important and helpful context on how to prepare for the trip and what to expect- even including tips on getting there from Nassau. The setting is just so gorgeous and you have like a 100m of beach to yourself. I think in two weeks we saw three people. When we felt like some company we walked 100m to the Pink Chicken bar for some excellent fish and conch... and a few beers. The snorkelling off the beach was fantastic. So many fish including a very large and curious baracuda. The house itself is completely modern and has everything one could ask for. We will be back.

Absolute paradise

We spent 7 days at the Kiki house and absolutely loved our stay! The home was perfect for me and my husband and our two teenage daughters. Plenty of space, and I really appreciated having a washer/dryer, so that we didn’t have to pack as much clothing. We spent time on back deck/patio every day… gorgeous view of the water! The location was fantastic. We love to snorkel and the fact that we had a pristine beach with incredible reefs only steps from our back door was amazing!! Things we saw in the water off our beach: nurse sharks, spotted eagle rays, a sea turtle, and hundreds upon hundreds of different types of fish. It was an incredible experience. ❤️

Remote Paradise

Cat Island and the Kiki House were exactly as we had imagined - remote, peaceful and simply beautiful. The house itself was well appointed with all of the amenities we needed, particularly WiFi as work and emails never take holidays! The beds were very comfortable and the porch was perfect for morning yoga, afternoon emails with a view and evening relaxation. We recommend renting a car but also recommend negotiating the rates in advance. There is a bank on the island should you need extra cash, several grocery stores and a few charming bakeries and eateries. Da Pink Chicken is a waterfront eatery within a short walk of the house and serves home-cooked meals on the weekends. The wind prohibited us from snorkeling or kayaking as much as we had hoped, but we did visit some calmer beaches on the island. Our only complaint is that we didn't stay a few days longer! We flew Western Air with a connection in Nassau - our Western Air return flight to Nassau was delayed and we were concerned about missing our connection, but the pilot radioed our connection who informed the ticketing agent. They waited for us and let us make our connection comfortably - yet another example of the wonderful Bahamian hospitality at work! Overall, if you're looking for a break from the hectic pace of life and to experience some remote island living, Cat Island is the place and the beautiful Kiki House gives the perfect amount of comfort to enjoy it.

Everything about the trip was perfect. Had everything we needed in the house. Very isolated beach, very private. Nikki was excellent in helping get around and give suggestions on the stay. Cat Island is truly a special place, and the Kiki House was an excellent home base for experiencing the island.

The ideal location with a spectacular home on a private beach. Kiki house is maintained to a standard that is rare for any island home. The owner is a pleasure to deal with and adds a personal touch - we felt like family. Cat Island is a throwback to an earlier time - truly the best of all worlds.

So Peaceful and Beautiful

The property was exactly as advertised. Located on a secluded beach with soft sand that never gets hot, beautiful water with every shade of blue, easy swimming and snorkeling just out front of the house, no neighbors, it was so quiet and the views are amazing. The layout of the house was perfect with three bedrooms and two baths. There were four in our party, so plenty of room. The porch is great, shade all day and amazing views, and did I mention how quiet it is!! Nancy was great to communicate with prior to the trip and answered all of our questions. Nikki met us at the airport, took us to get the rental cars, groceries and water, and then led us to the home and explained things well. We didn't need her the rest of the week, but she did check in multiple times via WhatsApp to make sure we were OK. Now, some realities of Cat Island. It is secluded, no big stores, no shopping for anything outside of the necessities for the week. Restaurants, or eating places sometimes have food, and sometimes they don't. Lunch pricing was most reasonable, so we ate out at lunch and fixed dinner at the house. Like it says, best to call ahead to see if they are open and serving food. Prices are high for any island in the Bahamas, just plan on it. There's only one main road that's paved, many others are dirt with large potholes. No issues getting around, but best to rent a CRV or something similar. All of those things were great for us, that's exactly what we wanted and none were a surprise. The only real downside of the week for us were the no-see-ums. If you haven't had experience with them, they are not pleasant. Bug spray did not work for us, and the bites did itch. We tried the suggestion from the Cat Island locals and used Baby Oil - it helped, but we mostly stayed in the house when it got calm around sunset and played games, puzzles, or watched a movie on Netflix. The power did go out twice, and cell service/wifi once during the week. Again, just a reality of the Bahamas. So, amazing experienced - thanks Bob and Nancy for sharing your home with us.

We didn't rent a car, but biked into Aj's convenience store, and da pink chicken, plus Nikki is amazing, and took us on a tour of the island. Loved the relaxed trip so much. Would love to come back and bring our family. Thanks again for sharing!!

Anniversary Trip

We have rented many houses over the years and we can honestly say this was the best experience we have had. Nancy is the best host, Nikki is very responsive whenever needed and the house....let's just say the pictures don't do the house justice. The master bedroom has the best view in the house, looking right at the ocean from the bed! We never seen another person on the beach so we definitely felt like we had our own private beach during our stay. Come to think of it, out of all the beaches we ventured to throughout the island, we never ran into anyone else on the same beach! This is our favorite part of Cat Island! We were hoping to catch a lobster or two but did not have any luck. We pulled 4 large conch from the ocean right in front of the house. While the ocean wasn't the calmest during our week long stay, we were able to snorkel multiple times and see an array of sea life right out the back door on the coral reefs. We ventured through the mangroves close to the house and ran into an amazing amount of bonefish! Too bad this was our first trip to the islands where we left the fly rod at home :( Da Pink Chicken is open and within walking distance of the house. Patty makes the best fresh cracked conch around. The house is also equipped with anything you will need to cook your own meals as well. I can honestly say, we never needed anything we couldn't find at the house. We would definitely rent from Nancy again in the future and we would feel confident about recommending to others to do the same. Thank you again for sharing your little piece of paradise with us and making this wedding anniversary one that will be hard to top!

Perfect Vacation Spot!

Kiki House is an amazing vacation spot. The views are incredible! We loved having our own private beach and our own private reef to snorkel on! If you want a non-touristy beach vacation - this is your place. The house is extremely clean, comfortable, and has everything you need. Nikki (the house manager) was wonderful and helped us with whatever we needed. I definitely recommend hiring her to cook a traditional meal for you while you are there. Cat Island is amazing also! You can do as much or as little as you would like. There is lots to see and do, or you can just relax on the beach. The locals are friendly and helpful- and interacting with them was one of the highlights of our trip! We had a great snorkeling trip through Greenwood Resort (Antoine and Pauline are great), visited the Hermitage (beautiful views), frequented da Pink Chicken ( a definite must) where Patty taught us to clean a conch and then made the most delicious salad out of it. The owners of the house were also great- though I haven't met them in person -communication before, during, and after was easy and fast! We definitely hope to visit again!
