3 Bedroom House in Bennett's Harbour, Cat Island

Seabreeze Bahamas is located on the beautiful white sand beach in Bennett's Harbour. One of the only sand beaches on the northern end of Cat Island. With three bedrooms, the house is perfect for a two! The water is calm with a sandy bottom, making it safe for kids of all ages. The 14' gazebo offers shade, while catching the breeze for a nap, or just a few minutes out of the beautiful sunshine.

There are four sea kayaks and lots of masks and snorkels for you to use. We have a full gourmet kitchen with just about every kitchen gadget you could ask for. There are a few small stores nearby for staples, or 20 minutes North or South to the grocery stores. Cat Island offers many restaurants on the island for a taste of local Bahamian cooking and fresh seafood.

Bonefishing~ Cat Island offers many ideal spots for bonefishing. DIY with our kayaks, or local guides are available to point you in the right direction by boat, or on foot. Anglers can quietly stalk these elusive fish by wading through knee-deep waters of Bennett's Creek. These quicksilver fighters, weighing up to 15 pounds, inspire both fly fishermen and spin casters alike with their power and speed. Unpredictable and wily, the bonefish are often found in schools of 50 or more, making for exciting bursts of action. With Bennett's Creek leading to Alligator point just up the beach, you'll have miles of wadable flats right outside the patio door. Orange Creek offer expansive flats lined with mangroves. There is a tide clock at the house to help you plan your day of angling.
Fishing/Snorkeling~ We recommend Ricky Dean for fishing on the sea, or taking your family out to the shallow reef that surround Cat Island on his boat.
Scuba Diving~ There are two dive centers on Cat Island. One at Shannas Cove, about 20 minutes North of Seabreeze. The other is down South at Hawk's Nest, about 1 1/2 hours from Seabreeze.
Top Dive Locations:
First Basin Wall: 100-200ft. Facing the Great Bahamas Bank is a spectacular deep water drop-off. Its proximity to the deep ocean provides many encounters with schooling jacks, Eagle Rays and, occasionally, sharks.
Blue Hole: 80-100ft. Out on the bank is a magnificent Blue Hole. Inside the opening divers often encounter schools of fish, large groupers and Caribbean Reef Sharks. White Hole Reef expresses another phenomenon peculiar to The Bahamas: circular depressions in the limestone basin that form flat basins surrounded by coral mounds. These sites serve as an oasis for solitary reef and schooling fish.
White Hole Reef: Circular depressions in the limestone basin surrounded by coral mounds
The Tunnels: 30ft. The Tunnels can be reached from the beach. They begin in very shallow water and descend through a series of crevices, canyons and fissures to a coral garden
Third Basin Reef: Wall 110-130ft. Nearly vertical drop-off with giant sponges and black
Exploring the North Shore~ Several roads lead to the North shore where you will find bits of flotsum that have blown in from the Atlantic. Garbage to some, treasure to others and a fun place to see the crashing waves on the beach while searching for seashells.
Blue Holes~ There are many lakes and Blue Holes on Cat Island, some are filled with fresh water and some salt. There are many tales of the mermaids who live in them and pirates who disappeared.
Bat Caves~ There are at least 18 caves on Cat Island that you can explore. The easiest to find are on the main road about 5 miles south of Seabreeze, or on Dicky road in Orange Creek.
Rake n Scrape~ A music festival in Arthur's Town, heald the first weekend in June where famous musicians come from all over the Bahamas to play, and the party goes all night.
Regatta~ A sailing race and party that lasts for three days the first weekend in August. Also known as 'homecoming' it's a time when families come back to Cat Island for cook outs and togetherness.
Getting There: There are two airports on Cat Island. Arthur's Town (ATC) is only 15 minutes away from our home at Bennett's Harbour, and New Bight (TBI) is about 45 minutes away to the south.

Summary: My family and I enjoyed our stay at Seabreeze on Bennett’s Harbour. The house was clean and very comfortable. Its location on the beach is fantastic and the yard leading to the beach is really nice, complete with a coconut-laden Palm tree. The bed in the master bedroom was very comfortable. The kitchen is large and well equipped. The paddle board was a blast. The owner was very helpful providing good advice about flights to the Island and where to rent a vehicle. Danny King provided our minivan and was a delight to do business with. The most disappointing aspect was the kayaks. Only one had a seat, making all the others completely useless. Despite two tandem Kayaks being described as available, there were no tandems at all. Our plans to be able to kayak our grandchildren to nearby areas to snorkel and fish were ruined. When I asked Ricky about the tandems he said they haven’t had any for a while. When I asked him about seats for the single kayaks he said he would try to find some, then tossed two broken, unusable seats on a kayak and left. The description of the included kayaks was a main reason I chose this property. The Dryer was not working, a new one is apparently on order. The bed in the Northeast bedroom is uncomfortable. None of the dishes can be used in the microwave. Although Ricky was quick and effective to respond to several problems, he was anything but pleasant about it.

Summary: Right on the beach in Bennetts Harbor. The patio and outside covered gazebo were perfect for enjoying the outdoors with a beautiful view of the harbor and the pristine beach. The house is very roomy and easily accommodated 4 adults. Kitchen very well stocked with cooking utensils. We were 100% satisfied with this rental.

Summary: I have been all over the Bahamas. Seabreeze is by far the best house we have ever stayed in! Communication was great before we arrived. Our every need was met, and the games and puzzles are great for family time. Hours spent on the beach, swimming and snorkeling walking distance from the house. Plenty to do to keep everyone happy. The best thing we did was jumping off the doc, paddle boarding and taking the kayaks up the creek to see the turtles. We are already planning our next trip! Ricky makes you feel like Seabreeze is your own home. Thank you (Tanky tanky) for the best week we’ve ever spent in the Bahamas

Summary: By far the best place you will stay on Cat Island! This house is right ON the beach. The kitchen is huge, with everything you need to cook meals. The beach is stunning, and the gazebo is fantastic for a sunset beverage. We can’t wait to come back!

Summary: This is my second time staying ar Seabreeze and it was better than the first time because it felt like coming home, this place is so comfortable and the location is the best! The water was so warm and calm I used the paddle board everyday and most of the time I was in the water floating reading my kindle for hours🌴😁 if you are trying to escape from your busy life and you want to feel like you are in you own private island this is the place to be. Before we arrived I asked Ricky the caretaker if he could buy us some groceries like beer, eggs,soda, milk etc and when we got to the house he had everything there. I usually bring meat, coffee, pasta all the essentials that I can't get there sometimes( make sure to tip him please)and another nice surprise was the house has internet so you can make wifi calling! I posted a video of the beach on YouTube. Thank you for sharing your lovely home🌞

Summary: I stayed at Seabreeze house from july4 to july11 in my opinion it was to short! The reason a chose Cat island was because of Bennetts harbor. I'm very picky when it comes to beaches so when I found the perfect house on the perfect beach I fell in love. The house was everything I was looking for, the kitchen is modern and has everythink you need and more, all the bedrooms have air conditioners, a washer and dryer and you even have a gas grill so you can cook your steaks,chicken and hamburgers that you can bring from home in a cooler! Ricky the caretaker came to pick us up at the airport, nice guy. I spoke to him before we got there and he and Debbie the cleaning lady went to the market for us so we could have beer and some things in the house before we got there. Just remember Cat Island is not Nassau so as long as you know that you will enjoy your trip. The internet did not work while we where there Oh Well ;) who cares when you have a beach like that! The weather was hot and sunny every day, I wish I was there now!!! We did not rent a car, Danny king was our taxi driver. The only problem I had was that I forgot to pack my blow dryer( my husband's fault he complain my bag was to heavy) so my hair looked like crap the whole week. If I can make a suggestion will be that the house needs new beach chairs the kayaks where nice to have but maybe one day they can add a standing paddle board?;) I would like to thank the Romes for sharing there beautiful house with us!

Summary: We began staying at this house i think in 2009 (see Mermaid in Training review). We have since stayed in some other locales but last year came back to Baybeeeze and this year returned to Seabreeze. In my book its the best of the best. Helpful owner (offsite) and onsite caretakers. I suggest renting the car with the house for exploring. Yardies nearby for conch salads; Da Smoke Pot for lunch or dinner. Check out the Library in Bennetts Harbor as well. Everyone warm and friendly. This house is the perfect base of operations for bonefishing, snorkeling, kayaking, beachcoming and just simply relaxing. We hired Debbie, the housekeeper to take us into the bush and show us local plants used in bush tea and bush medicine. Was a fabulous day. Fun and informative. Also went birding and added many new species! Another great trip.

Summary: The house is well nice, comfortable, well laid out, and the kitchen is well equipped. Great location right on a beautiful beach. Perfect base to explore the island from or just kick back and relax. If you are on the fence book the place now you will not be sorry.

Summary: We have been to the out islands 20 times but this is our first time to cat. The house was very nice, everything you need is there. Ricky the caretaker was excellent. There is no a/c in main portion of house also one of three bedrooms had no a/c. Very nice location. Only "problem" we had was that Lori's other house is very close next door, the cabanas are about 50 ft apart, if renters are there you feel a little crowded it a part of the world that we go to get away from the crowds. Overall very good experiance and would return.

Summary: Our family of four - including two single 20-somethings - enjoyed our Christmas/New Year's stay at Seabreeze very much, and found the beaches to be unbelievably beautiful and deserted. The gorgeous human-free beaches and the suitability for kayaking, whether intense or amateur, would be our reasons to return, along with diving for those interested. We also had only two sub-par weather days out of almost two weeks and absolutely no mosquitos until dusk. Ironically, the only beach with other bathers was the one directly in front of the house, but it was still very natural. The property is as described and is very pleasant and clean. It should however be noted that there is no internet access available and that the current photos on this page are outdated, since houses have been built on both sides and there is as yet no privacy from the house on the north side (also owned by the Romes and very well suited as a simultaneous rental for friends or family). We did have a couple of maintenance issues, but, had we complained, most could have been corrected by the caretaker. We also rented their car and it performed reliably, but has a quirk in the ignition which prevents it starting until you get the hang of it. We spent much time at Shanna's Cove, a B&B at the extreme northern end of the road, which has a good restaurant and a fun, young clientele, a dive boat and school. This, along with hiking to beaches on the northern and Atlantic sides, would be our primary recommendation that we did not see mentionned in other reviews. Restaurants/shopping/nightlife would not be an attraction. Your stay will be infinitely richer if you are interested in chatting up the locals, observing their quirky world, and learning about their history. Cat is very remote and deliciously undeveloped, best suited for those interested in the sports offered and for nature and sun lovers. We would like to return without the 20-somethings for, say, a month!
