The house was great! The owner was great to work with.

The house is very charming and has everything you need for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. We took morning walks to Rainbow Bay beach for early swimming and it was perfect. We would definitely stay here again! Also, this is a very fair and reasonably priced property for the size.

The host was extremely helpful before check-in to make sure we had all the information we needed. We had stayed here 10 years ago in 2015 and it was a fantastic house. Still a great house for an affordable rate though it is a bit older and there are a few areas that could use a little fixing up. Overall the location is fantastic and the house is a great house for a wonderful stay on Eleuthera. It was great to have a cooler that we could take out with us throughout the day, a few beach chairs that we could take and the beach towels. Having an outdoor faucet that we could rinse our gear off at the end of each day was fantastic too!

Perfect family get away!

We had a wonderful weeks stay at Cat Nap. The cottage is neat and clean. It has everything you need. The AC works great and the kitchen is fully stocked with anything you need for cooking. We enjoyed our time in the cottage and it’s the perfect location to enjoy both ends and the middle of Eleuthera!

Lovey place to stay

The weather could not have been nicer this time of year. The house was clean and approx mid way to all sights and beaches to see. Eleuthra is a very quiet island and a great place to go if you're looking to relax. The only thing that was missing was beach chairs but overall it was clean and a nice place to stay.

best secret spot on the planet

Melisa and her home where amazing and did not disappoint. Very clean well maintained in an amazing location. My family felt safer in Eleuthera than we did in our own home and with all of the amazing beaches so close we couldn't have asked for a more relaxing vacation! We loved it so much we bought a lot in Rainbow Bay but don't tell anyone because we like it just the way it is.

No regrets

A great place for a great price. Cat Nap is the perfect home away from home vibe. It is cozy and has everything you need to enjoy a vacation! Melisa was very helpful in securing us a car rental -a must on Eleuthera, and giving us suggestions on places to go and see :) I would definately return and recommend Cat Nap to anyone considering it

Heavenly...

This was my family's fourth trip to the beautiful island of Eleuthera. The Cat Nap was the perfect place to lay our heads at the end of a fabulous day of exploring and beaching. The home is newly constructed and well stocked with linens and several kitchen items, as well as games and puzzles. Melisa is very friendly and easy to work with. Access to a vehicle and golf cart makes guests' stays even simpler. Our family enjoyed both Melisa and her beautiful home!

Amazing rental!

We stayed for 2 weeks here. It's a great location and having use of a jeep and golf cart was fantastic! You need a car rental on this island, so having the option of one at your cottage is very conveinant. The cottage is a perfect size with open concept and a simple beach decor that is very homey feeling. It's close to an amazing beach and in the middle of the island, so very easy to get anywhere on the island in minimal time. Melisa was great. Very professional and was right there if we needed anything. The price is very reasonable and the cottage has everything you need for comfort. We loved exploring the island! Will definitely be back!

BEST TRIP EVER! WELL UNTIL OUR NEXT TRIP.

Hands down the best cottage i've ever stayed at. It was so lovely that we extended our stay. The pictures does the cottage no justice, its very spacious and comfy. Just lovely. Really comfy slept in the couch almost as much as the bed. The view from the porch is just simply amazing. We got front row seats to watch the Blood Moon. Lots of privacy. Melisa and milo ( her lovely pup) are very welcoming. Give us the info we needed to find the most amazing spots on the island. We will be back and will be recommending cat nap to all of our friends and family. This was my 1st cottage rental and I thank Melisa for making it easy and simple. Thank you so much
