Smith's Bay Holiday Rentals

"Our host Stephanie was fantastic! Our caretaker Harrison was absolutely great ! House is beautiful the views are spectacular. Definitely plan on having Harrisonn prepare a meal for your first night.. We did and requested another night. Was delicious. You can not go wrong staying at this house. Will definitely deal with Stephanie again when we go back to Cat Island !!!"

"Host was great checked us in but didnt bother us all week. House was immaculate. Just as pictured. Way away from everyone so was very private. We had a great anniversary trip. "

"Stephanie is a gem. She always provides an incredible environment for me to come visit. Peaceful and relaxing here. The house is a darling cottage and has everything I need. The beds are so comfortable, nice bedding and pillows! The water is beautiful and calming. Sitting on the deck anytime of day is a joy, nice shade even when’s it’s hot. The pool and the cover over it are perfect way to spend an afternoon after my long walk on a beach that I have all to myself! The water is the most beautiful color, the sunrises and sunsets are the most spectacular that you will ever see. Lots of time to be in peace, calm and solitude. 100 stars!"

"A perfect get away for one or two couples or small family. Beautiful beach out the front door with nobody around, access to local culture by default because almost no tourists, great walks every day and helpful hosts."

"Great host. Great island. Dream vacation for those wanting an adventure in the Bahamas! This property has everything you need. Highly recommend. "

"We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this vacation rental! The location truly can’t be beat—right on a stunning beach with beautiful views and easy access to the sand and water. The home itself was incredibly cozy and welcoming, making it feel like a true home away from home from the moment we arrived.Everything was thoughtfully set up with comfort in mind, and the amenities were fantastic. The kitchen was fully equipped, the living spaces were comfortable and inviting, and there were plenty of extras that made our stay easy and relaxing. After long beach days, it was so nice to come back to a space that felt warm, clean, and perfectly maintained.This rental had everything we needed for a relaxing and memorable getaway. We couldn’t have asked for a better beach stay and would absolutely love to return!"

"We had a great stay! Nancy was easy to communicate with and answered questions promptly. Nikki was great with on island support. The house was as advertised, comfortable, clean and all we could ever ask for! The kitchen was well appointed and we cooked our own meals almost exclusively. There were beach chairs, umbrellas and kayaks. Now for a quick island reality check. Cat island is not Nassau, Cancun or Miami. We have been there 4 times now. If you are looking for glitz, glam or fancy meals or even things like smooth roads and electricity that is for sure 24/7 then you may want to go someplace else. If you want land crab and hermit crab adventures, fishing, history, sunrises and sunsets and endless beaches to explore then jump in and go ASAP! "

"The perfect vacation home depends on what your perfect vacation is. This was MY perfect vacation home. We wanted comfort, and seclusion and we got it! We stayed early November of 2025 and never saw more than two people out walking the beach. There are a couple other homes within view but they were empty. The deck looking out over the ocean was definitely a highlight but the inside was very nice also. The upstairs and downstairs can be rented separately but we rented both just to make sure we were alone. Also there is some snorkeling stuff in the garage (accessed from the upstairs unit and more in a closet in the downstairs unit. A couple things to be aware of. You have to buy drinking water and ice for drinks since the house water is only for bathing. Also the house is quite a drive from almost all stores and restaurants so buy plenty of supplies before going there. Spend time on google earth getting familiar with the island and where some of the stores and food places are. There are two main grocery stores and both are ok but we liked Gilberts better. And while we didnt explore lots of places to eat we loved Hidden Treasures with chef Trevor. It takes quite a while to get your food so i recommend calling your order in an hour early or take your swimsuits and swim in the calm crystal clear water right outside his backdoor while you wait. The property manager lana was great and very responsive to amy questions we had. "

"Amanda was so kind and helpful, which made our visit such a wonderful experience. The house itself is beautiful and has everything we could possibly need."
