Book a Hawks Nest Resort

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

"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. "

"The house was fully equipped and clean. There was nothing that we needed that wasn’t already there. The location was 2 minutes from the airport and 5 minutes from 2 very well equipped grocery stores. We’ve stayed on a lot of Bahamian islands and have to say this one had the most up to date rental cars and access to groceries and amenities. Beds were comfortable, air conditioning installed one bedroom that worked very well. We did miss air conditioning in the main areas. We took our own firestick that work very well with the starlink internet. Owners and property management was excellent. "

"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!"

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

"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. "

"Wonderful time in a wonderful Cat Island. Stephanie and the Caretaker Mr. King are the best."

"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."
