About this property

The Beach House is located in beautiful Shanna Bay, right on the beach on the very north end of Cat Island.
It is the ideal place to vacation if you like to swim, to snorkel, fish, paddle-board, to kayak, to take long walks along beautiful pink beaches, to discover caves and blue holes, to experience Bahamian and Continental cuisine, to lie in a hammock and read, to grill your catch in the evening, to watch the sun set in the turquoise sea, to meet up with rays and turtles ( and maybe a straying barracuda), to visit historic places - really, only one - and to come back to again and again.
Two generous bedrooms with plenty of place for extra beds or cribs, two bathrooms with open air showers and a lovely living room, a fully equipped kitchen with a dining porch where you will spend most of your time.
Satellite TV and High Speed unlimited internet access included.
The Shanna Beach House is close to two restaurants within five minutes walk, and the closest grocery store is only ten minutes away by car.
Arrangement can be made for car rental, fishing guide and deep sea fishing.
Kayaks and paddle boards are included in the rental, and snorkels and fins are available on request.

ON the beach!

Our goal was to stay as close to the water as possible and this hit the target! Great location in Orange Creek on beautiful beach with no one around. Perfect for a couples, two couples, or a family. A short walk to Shonna’s Cove for dining, or use the fully equipped kitchen to make your own meals.

Perfect in every respect

[late September early October] The house was even better than we imagined, in terms of comfort, layout, kitchen, baths, privacy, quiet, and being right on a stunningly beautiful beach. All we did was relax with books and walks on the beach; no movies, no emails, no texting, even though we could have. The setting is nothing short of fantastic. We snorkeled and paddle boarded a bit but mostly we just…relaxed. We had the entire beach to ourselves. Will absolutely come back. Thank you Jackie and Daisy.

Amazing secluded beach location

This place is perfect. Beautiful house that is perfect for two families but not too much for 1. If you're coming to Cat Island, point is to unplug and get off the beaten path, and enjoy some time by the beach, fishing, kayaking, snorkeling, etc. Point is, a bit more remote and rustic. But if you're good with that, then this is a great corner of Cat Island to be in. Nearby store within a 10min drive with all that you need, and a great restaurant a short walk up the hill. Other than that you have the place mostly to yourself. Would love to stay again!

About the host

Hosted by Jacqueline Campaigne

We, Curtis and Jacqueline have been living on Cat Island since 2000. We fell in love with the island, and Shanna Bay in particular, the moment we saw it. We built three homes - one for ourselves and one each for our two sons. Since they now are busy with kids in school, they want their homes to be used and loved when they can't be there themselves. The very personal feeling of the beach house will make you feel as much at home as our sons do when they visit the island.

Why they chose this property

We bought the property because we fell in love. We had looked and searched on other islands in the Bahamas, and even tried to buy property on Eluthera. Fortunately , we found this fabulous piece on Cat Island, and ended up attracting neighbours who built hotels and restaurants. And to top it all off, they were all nice!

What makes this property unique

Curtis, who is an architect, saw the property on Cat Island as a fantastic place to build the ultimate weekend homes. That is how it started, but not as it ended up. We didn't want to leave the island, so we stayed, and our home became more and more permanent. The Beach house still has the feeling of the weekend place, but with all the features of a home. All the amenities you could wish for are there, in a cool and breezy beach setting
