Shangri-La is a great place right on the beach. If you want a private place to stay in the Bahamas, this is the place.

About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Beachfront views of pristine sandy beach, clear blue waters and surreal sunsets.

You will fall in love with this beautiful 1,400 sq. ft. five-room stone house, located directly on the leeward side of a gorgeous, secluded beach. Our two bedroom home is positioned among many palm trees, just steps from one of the prettiest pristine beaches you will ever see. The beach gradually extends -- coral free -- into the blue water. Further offshore are reefs that are perfect for fishing, scuba diving or snorkeling. This home sleeps four, and has two bedrooms with king size beds and one bath. Linens and towels are provided. The fully equipped kitchen has a microwave, blender, toaster, coffee maker and washing machine. The living room has a fireplace, radio, CD, TV/VCR and a large selection of movies. The 42 x 17 foot patio has a gas BBQ and lounge chairs and is perfect for sunbathing. Included with the house are 2 kayaks, perfect to take into our creek for bone fishing, sea turtle watching and snorkeling.

One of the things which Cat Island is known for is its bone fishing. Don't miss it!

Our 2006 Ford Escape is available for rent to explore the island's blue hole, sea glass exploring and historic structures.

We have a large cabana located on the beach for those times when you want to escape the sun. A perfect spot for watching the children or watching the setting sun. You can also enjoy a large enclosed outdoor shower. This is an ideal holiday destination for couples or families.

Paradise on Cat Island
Kim, the owner, helped ensure that our stay was delightful. This was our fourth trip to this wonderful house just steps away from a pristine beach, and we certainly plan on returning yet again.

Living in Paradise!
Our trip to Shangri-La exceeded our expectations. From the warm welcome and information from our host Kim, to the quaint perfectly appointed house, and spectacular beach and amazing location right on Bennett’s Harbour , we felt as if we had just landed in paradise! If you like a remote quiet locations where the locals embrace you every step of the way, while swimming in the most pristine waters—this is the rental for you. We feel honored that host Kim shared her family home with us and allowed us to experience the true Cat Island. We can’t wait to book our next trip to Shangri-La.

A home away from home
This has been one of the best experience I have had. I enjoyed the fact that they were well prepared and the host met me at the airport. Down to flash lights on the side of the bed just incase current went off. The rooms were really nice and cozy which made it great for sleeping and working from home.

Awesome location!
The beach was amazing, as it usually is on Cat Island. The location was close to Arthur's Town, which was nice for evening dinners. Of course there are always the bugs, but that's just part of a nice warm climate. I may have lost a pint of blood but it was worth it! The house is great too.
