"2nd stay at the gate house and everything was perfect. The house has everything you need for a private relaxing stay. Will definitely return."

"I fell in love with Cat Island.Stephanie the owner replies to messages if you contact her. Very helpful with my questionsHarrison the care taker did a very good job of taking care of us, and he is also a very good cook. The first night we ordered him some food omg all the food was yummy and fresh, and take note the greens are from his garden! And we did another night order of lobster, it didnot disappoint! The lobster was fresh and its big one too! And i love talking to Harrison. He is a good man. Bless this man.Overall stay was a blast! Cant complain. Just watch for mosquito and the small insect "no-sse-um" its nature cant control them Lol! "

"After our recent vacation at the Point House, I can honestly say that this was the most well designed and beautiful house we have ever stayed in. The pool is beyond fantastic and a great place to wind down after days filled with sightseeing and flyfishing. The extensive decks are great too with panoramic views of sunsets and sea life along the coral heads. Harrison King, the caretaker, was very congenial and knowledgeable about the history of Cat Island. He brought dinner the first night and we ate for days - EXCELLENT!!! Lots of sights and side activities - beaches, flats, blue holes, wildlife, Healing Pond, restaurants and fun places to get a drink and soak up the sun. I definitely recommend the Point House for families and anyone who wants to enjoy a truly luxury home in a gorgeous setting on Cat Island. We will return!!!"

"DO NOT RENT THIS PROPERTY. Nothing matches the listing—dirty, trashy yard, broken oven, no advertised BBQ, two broken TVs, broken door locks, dilapidated/unsafe deck, broken deck chairs, rusted utensils, moldy sponges, corroded fixtures, soiled bedsheets and towels, no bright pillows or rugs as shown in the photos, no screens in the windows - they were laying outside on the ground, and a strong odor of cat urine. We found the cat trying to get in the house. I have lots of photos to back up everything I have stated.. It was so shocking the state the house was in. We complained immediately after we picked our jaws up off the floor. The caretaker was confrontational, and the owner promised a refund if we didn't leave a bad review and then ghosted us. Photos are doctored, the house is poorly maintained, and it was a completely disappointing experience. This is our fifth trip to the Bahamas and we have never encountered anything even remotely like this place. VRBO should take the listing down until it is safe to rent and accurate photos are taken"

"The house is fantastic! There is a Nespresso and a drip coffeemaker. There were a few spices and plenty of pans and oven cookware. It is wonderful to be a short walk from the Fernandez Bay resort for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. The the washing machine and dryer were handy to have onsite. You can pack light! And ... the house has an RO system for drinking water which is great. We all fell in love with the house. "

"We had the most amazing stay! The house was superbly located on an elevation that allowed for 360 views from the wrap around veranda. Well-appointed kitchen with everything we needed for our stay. The beach is a short walk with access to explore the many reefs by snorkeling. The host was welcoming and responsive. Loved it!"

"A wonderful greeting from Donna at the airport.After getting settled in at the Sandcastle made a quick trip for groceries."

"The property is beautiful and we enjoyed our stay. However, the listing was a bit misleading—only one bedroom and the bunkhouse were accessible, not the three bedrooms and baths advertised. There was no access to a washer/dryer, and the upstairs shower had very low water pressure. The upstairs bedroom and bathroom also lacked window coverings, which made privacy an issue. That said, the host was responsive and assured us these concerns would be addressed with the property manager."
