Grocery store and excellent dining within driving distance away. TESTIMONIALSDear Curt and Stephanie, I wanted to let you know what
a brilliant holiday we had at your house! Reynold and Janice truly
looked after us and the memories of snorkeling, fishing , beaches and
parties in your house will stay with us forever. Thank you for going
above and beyond to make my mother's 60th birthday truly memorable. If you like fishing, diving, hiking, adventuring, exploring, tropical breezes, and beautiful views, then you will love the Spectacular House / property in Dolphin Head, Cat Island. We travel often to the Bahamas, and were looking for a remote location, unspoiled by weekend warriors from South Florida, and we found it. Fourteen of us (Six adults and 8 children ages 2-11) settled in comfortably to our new digs. The kids had more fun exploring the grounds, reading, and drawing than watching satellite TV. Among our adventures, we hiked up the Hermitage, kayaked through an
inland creek at Fernandez Bay, went to a local festival in Arthur's
Town, had lunch at Hawk's nest, chartered Renold and Charles for four
fishing expeditions (where my kids ages 7 and 11 each hooked into giant
Mahi and a feisty Marlin...RIGHT OFFSHORE FROM THE HOUSE!!), and spent
a day at Winding Bay...a deserted beach accessible only by boat: when
14 of us showed up, with all the baggage needed for a full day excursion,
our Captain and mate did not flinch in finding room on their modest
25 foot boat. "Welcome aboard!" That moment summed up the
trip. Stunning accommodations yet surprisingly affordable!
Our luxury Thanks for the wonderful vacation Curt!! Sincerely, Mark & Kelly
Dear Curt Let me just mention some of fondest memories of your house:
Curt, sorry it has taken this long to give
you a glowing testimonial but this married life is hectic and both
of us have been
working crazy hours. Though one thing always remains very clear in our
minds and that is Cat Island and your beautiful house. You never know
what to expect when you go into something like this blind and you have
nothing to rely on other than what you hope is the integrity of the person
you are renting from. In all honesty Donna was nervous. All these people
were coming to a destination that we chose with very high expectations
and Donna didn't want anyone to be disappointed. As the house came into
view that first day we knew immediately that her fears were completely
unwarranted and we were in for an outstanding week. The house exceeded
the pictures on the web site and the descriptions we had read. We felt
like we were vacationing at some house we might have seen on "Life
Styles of the Rich and Famous". The place is gorgeous, the views
awesome, the people very friendly and the seafood delicious. We had heard
that the stores lacked many of the daily necessities we are accustomed
to but we found them to be more than adequate. We had six youngsters
with us from 21 to 24 and they also had a ball. None had really snorkeled
before but after a five minute demonstration they were off and shortly
thereafter hooked. They snorkeled and kayaked 6-8 hours a day. They found
an abundance of fish, some great reefs and no shortage of nooks and crannies
to explore. Unfortunately for us their idea of vacation will forever
be measured against this trip and in the long run we will be paying for
this long into the future. We will be back, we will definitely be back.
We are trying to justify returning yearly and I hope we succeed. Feel
free to contact us or use us as a reference any time. Curt we can't thank
you enough. We were married on the back deck and will send pictures.
It was exactly what we were hoping for. Thanks so much for making our
vacation, wedding and honeymoon an event to remember. Dear Curt, We had a wonderful time in Cat Island. Thank you for sharing your Hello, First, I want to let you know that we had a spectacular week at the
house Blessings, Jackie We were at the larger house of the two on Cat Island. I think it was called the Spectacular Oceanfront Home. I just wanted to tell you we had a great time and are looking forward to next year! Thanks, Angie I've rented the large house before...what a great place!! reynold was
the best! I was enquiring renting small house at christmas time anytime
thru -til new years???? Lettie
