The view from this location is stunning and the beach is beautiful.
A few things I wish we would have know before we went:
1. When we got to the house their was no fresh water. Be sure you pick up a 5 gallon jug of water before you come to the home.
2. Due to high rains the roads were flooded so it took as quite a while to get to and from the grocery store. The location is remote so you don't want to have a flat tire. Be careful of the potholes.
3. A.J.'s convenience is closer than Gilberts and the lady at this store is very nice and helpful. She cautioned us on a couple locations that were flooded and to be very careful when driving.
4. The house is well equipped.
5. The owners at the Greenwood Beach Resort down the beach from the house are friendly.
6. If you want a totally remote get away this is for you.
Rainerâs property on Cat Island is an excellent home on an unpopulated stretch of beach. Coordination was thorough and thoughtful, and Lana (the house manager) really set us up well for the week.
The home itself is very well-appointed. My family rented both apartments and stayed for a week during Christmas. The rooms and kitchens were clean and comfortable, and everything worked well. It was definitely the nicest house Iâve stayed in on Cat Island. The wifi was spotty at best, but you donât go to Cat for the reliable internet.
We had miles of beach to ourselves, and there was reef right off the beach that we could snorkel. The sea wasnât as a calm or clear as the Caribbean side, but my two year old still happily played in the water every day with no issue. It is a bit of a low-tide beach, but still worked for us on a daily basis.
The location was very isolated, and you definitely need to rent a car to access it. Itâs not quite in Port Howe, and youâre 10-15 mins from the nearest town (which was never an issue).
Overall, I definitely recommend coming to visit. Weâll be back!
I can not say enough things about the house!!! The house was fabulous, lovely beach!!! We did not want to leave!!The host was absolutely wonderful. The Property Manager, Lana, helped us in every way. We can not thank her enough!!! I cant wait to go back!
If you want peace, quiet, tranquility and views for days...this is the place to be! The home is beautiful with panoramic views of the ocean and there is always a calming ocean breeze that comes off the beach that's steps away. You can relax on the top deck of the house and take in the view of the whole island or on the second floor at look at the miles and miles of blue water and white sand. But don't! Take your relaxation to the beach and take in the sounds of the waves hitting against the ocean.
Not enough great things to say about White Ocean Coral and the property owner. This was a wonderful stay on a remote beach on a remote island, yet all the amenities of home. The property was in excellent condition. The beach was incredible. Rarely saw anyone else other than a few people that live here full time. But, most days were spent walking the miles of remote beach as if we were in some new Hollywood stranded beach movie.
Rainer Voss was promptly responsive and very helpful. His little slice of heaven was without a doubt, the best beach vacation I have ever been on, to include Thailand, Maritius, and Greece. Both Rainer, and his property manager, Lana, were a life saver during our extended stay. I hesitate to say more, because everybody will want to stay here; but then I wouldnât want to limit others in their potential for a once in a lifetime beach get away.
No to be left out, our cook, Karen was fabulous. We enjoyed her locally prepared meals every evening.
The Bahamian people were very friendly and helpful.
