My wife and I had the most amazing time celebrating my 50th. Great to reconnect without the kids. I over packed yet again and I didn’t pack much as we never saw another person unless we asked them to come. Just give them the heads up if you like to be secluded and they are happy to oblige.

True Paradise - best destination I have gone to!

My mom and I absolutely loved our recent stay at Banana Winds on Cat Island! The location was stunning—right by the ocean—and the home was incredibly comfortable, well-equipped, and relaxing. It was hard to leave the house because it was so peaceful and beautiful.The locals were absolutely lovely, and the caretaker, Harrison, truly went above and beyond. My mom has alpha-gal syndrome, and this was her first time traveling with it. Harrison not only prepared two delicious, completely safe meals for her, but he also used fresh fruits and vegetables straight from his own garden—which made everything even more special. His thoughtfulness took so much stress out of the trip. He also gave us several personal recommendations for amazing beaches and places to explore—we discovered some real hidden gems thanks to him.We were also able to safely eat at a few restaurants, including Hidden Treasures and Greenwood, both of which were incredibly accommodating and caring about her allergies.I usually don’t return to the same place twice—I want to see as much of the world as I can—but this is one place I know I’ll be back to. I can’t wait to bring friends and family here and make it a regular part of my life. We truly can’t recommend it enough for its beauty, comfort, and the incredible kindness we experienced.

Great trip

We had the most relaxing vacation on Cat Island at the Banana Wind! The private beachfront location with amazing snorkeling right in front of the house doesn’t get any better. Our favorite part was having the entire beach all to ourselves. We had the caretaker, Harrison, prepare our first night’s meal of grouper and conch fritters. We highly recommend it. He was also helpful with any questions we had and recommended a couple of great restaurants on the island that we loved. The newly installed Starlink internet was great for streaming movies at the end of the day and also for checking in at work on Zoom. We can’t recommend Banana Wind enough and plan to return next spring!

Cat island is a great remote spot, but this house is subpar.

I’ll start with the great stuff: House location is amazing. when the water is calm snorkeling was awesome. The caretaker that manages the property was awesome and shared some fruit from his own garden which was delicious. As for the problems: The house lost power a couple times even after unplugging the AC in the master bedroom, this is because the house(electric stove, fridge, 3 AC units) was running off 2 30 amp single breaker poles, do with that information what you will. The lack of internet which I assume is from the fact they are running a directional antenna to the other rental properties LAN. It was always in the -97 dB to -115 dB range (for non tech people this equates to about 1-2 bars WiFi) and wouldn’t allow me to airplay to the TV, I didn’t go there for internet but I did want to stream from my phone to the smart TV in the evenings so that was a buzz kill All in all, if you want a remote island get-away just note power and WiFi are not guaranteed with this one.

Wonderful

Just finished a 9 night stay at this property. We had a wonderful time relaxing and unwinding. We snorkeled the reefs walked the beach and collected sea glass. Cooked a lot of our meals at the house and had everything we needed to do so. Mr. King was very attentive and knowledgeable and an extremely great cook. We had him cook us conch fritters twice (yes they are that good) and ordered dinner from him one night, it was delicious and was enough food for 2 meals. If you are looking for relaxation in a beachfront home this is your place we didn't see another person on our beach for 8 of the 9 days.

Amazing and Totally Relaxing Vacation!

Ocean front cottage on a private road, with everything you could need for a spectacular vacation! It’s on a private beach with the most beautiful views, sunrises and sunsets. The location is simply beautiful. Just steps from the water - you can hear the waves as you sleep. We enjoyed coffee in the morning, or a glass of wine in the evening. Always taking in the beautiful view. We spent our days swimming, relaxing and exploring Cat Island. Food was great. We ordered dinner from Mr. Harrison King (property caretaker) on the first night and it was wonderful. He also spent time with us and provided a lot of history and tips to make our stay great. On the other nights, we picked up groceries and cooked dinners at the cottage. We tried Cat Island for more seclusion and less people - we got both! It’s very quiet and beautiful, with a rich history and amazing people. We enjoyed the short hike to Mt. Alvernia and exploring all the beaches. In our 5-day stay, we did not see another human being on a beach! Navigating Cat Island couldn’t be easier. There is one road north to south. We flew in, were greeted at the airport by Gilberts car rental who drove us to the grocery store (also the car rental store and the liquor store!). We picked up everything we needed there and drove approximately 30 minutes to Banana Wind. An amazing experience overall. We were sad to leave, but we will be back!

No better place than this!

This is our second time staying at this house. We have looked at other places on the island. If you are looking for a quiet place with the beach on your back porch, then this is it!! We have never felt more taken care of. We actually lost electricity at about 7pm. Mr. King came right over. He got the electrician there quickly. Then found out it was a problem on the road. They stayed until after midnight. While, I’m sure the owners could have saved a lot of money waiting until the next morning to have the electrician come out. So thankful for them. They couldn’t finish until the next morning, so they let us stay the night at their property next door. Then the electricity was fixed early the next morning. The electrician’s wife came out and sat and talked with me. They came out the next morning along with Mr. King to check on us. They were all so great! Mr. King brought us the best fruit from his garden. My husband told Mr. King about seeing a lobster by the reefs. So he brought him a sling to fish with. We also were so blessed when we went to Mr. King’s church. Among all of the other things Mr. King does, he’s a fantastic piano player and preacher. His wife also has a beautiful voice. They are such wonderful people. While the house is so perfect, the best part of the trip is Mr. King and how well you are taken care of. We read online that Mr. King is an expert on Mermaid hole. We sent him a message, and he came right over and showed us how to get there.

Wonderful time

This was our first visit to the Bahamas and to Cat Island. We loved the property and the location. There are large windows that can be opened for breezes and listening to the sounds of the ocean, but air conditioning when needed. We enjoyed snorkeling in the bay and seeing turtles, barracuda, stingray, and colorful fish and coral. It was fun to explore the beach and we loved the proximity to the creek for exploring and fishing. We didn't go out to eat much-once to Greenwood and once up North to Shanna's Cove (for pizza.) The caretaker was very helpful and responsive. He also makes the best conch fritters! Stephanie was also very helpful with all my questions and concerns.

Truly Paradise

Banana Winds tops our list of vacation spots. This was our third time staying here and can’t wait to get back. What a beautiful secluded, private, romantic location! Within a few steps of the deck, we were on the white sand beach and into the beautiful blue water. Our charming bungalow had everything we needed from WIFI for business to large comfortable beds for peaceful night’s rest. During this short stay we took breaks soaking up the sun to snorkel the coral reefs which are right off shore outside our door. We also enjoyed kayaking and biking through the beautiful nature. We did manage our second visit to Hermitage but due to lack of time we were not able to fish for lobster, conch, and snapper with Captain Reynold and his crew this trip but will catch them next time. Banana Wind had everything we needed to prepare our own meals although there are several options to dine out (like walking or biking to da Pink Chicken) or to have food delivered from several local Bohemian restaurants so we could enjoy eating while watch the sunset over the water from our private deck. We can’t wait for our next vacation here and might have friends join us next time as they could stay at the Gate House or larger house that are within easy walking distance. This truly is paradise.

Avoid the crowds and enjoy paradise with out all the noise.

If you are looking for a place to GET AWAY and have postcard views of the water RIGHT off the porch, all while under the care of a wonderful local, Mr. King, you have to stay here at Banana Wind Cottage. The 2 bedroom with a loft, a shower and 2 toilets with a full kitchen was plenty of space for me and my wife. Hangout on the deck or just below on the rock patio where at high tide the water is just 3 feet away. The absolute best part of the stay is getting Mr. King to bring you fresh fruits or homemade meals. He even brought me several pounds of fresh grouper that we made 2 huge separate meals out of along with his own special hot sauce. I'm telling you know get the 1st evening meal, meet Mr.King and learn all about the wonderful Cat Island. If you need anything text or call Mr. King and he'll get you covered. Watermelons, coconuts, mangos, okra plus he know nearly everyone on the island. On our last night we made reservations at a resort about 30 minutes away. After I got ready I noticed our rental car had a flat tire. I called Mr. King at and told him my issue and he tells me not worry he'll be right over with a compressor and tools to fix the flat. He saved my dinner date. As he told my wife when she called wanting details on how everything worked... "COME!! Come to Cat Island!" Mr. King will take care of the rest.

Perfect tranquil getaway!

Our stay was amazing. We spent 6 nights at Banana Winds. We loved our stay, we loved the Island! Mount Alvernia, pink sand beaches, fishing with Top Cat on the flats and meeting so many nice people. We frequented Alvernia Grocery, Dukes Conch salad and Cordell’s conch fritters, Bahamian mac and cheese and coleslaw, Hidden Treasure’s, Bams Sports Bar, Alnors and Olives bakeries. Harrison is an amazing caretaker and cook. He also got us grouper and the largest lobsters we have ever seen! Thank you Harrison and Cat Island for an amazing stay! Also, a sincere thank you to the Bannister’s for having such a great property with an amazing view!

Paradise!

My husband and I spent a week working remotely from Banana Wind and our stay was fantastic! Having the beach 10 steps out the door was a treat and the house was exactly as advertised. A couple tips to pass along as we were Cat Island "first timers": groceries are fairly sparse and wildly expensive. Next time we will bring a few essentials with us to avoid having to purchase (salt, oil, spices, coffee, etc). You can buy them all on the island but if you have room in your suitcase I recommend bringing them and saving some cash. Also, we came in on Sunday when most places were closed. Harrison brought us dinner (delicious) and rustled up a couple beers, but a Saturday arrival would have been better. Da Pink Chicken is a short drive or walk away, but only open Fri-Sun from 2-5. We only caught it one night and wished we had more! There is fantastic snorkeling in the cove outside the house, recommend bringing a mask and fins. Overall, we had a great stay and can't wait to be back!

It's not just a vacation . . . it's an adventure!

If you like to think outside the box, this property is for you! Anyone can stay in a high-rise & lounge on the beach with 100 of your not-so-closest friends & then cruise out to dinner at 7 or 8 & wait two hours for a table. If that's what you're looking for, don't come here! This is a quaint little comfortable house on a very private beach in a very remote location. Cat Island itself is not that populated, & the resorts & restaurants are not all clustered in one location. Things are spread out! A car is a necessity (watch out for potholes!) Yes, there is a restaurant close by (Da Pink Chicken). I heard the food is great, but I can't speak for myself because we went there at 5:45 on a Sunday, and the couple who owns/runs it had decided to close at 4:30 that day. That's how they roll on Cat Island! We went to the nearby convenience store to get coffee & dishwasher soap, but they didn't have either of those items that day. When you live on an island where a mail boat only comes once a week, it's not like walking into Kroger & having multiple brands of every item! The day we arrived, we rented a car (Lana had it waiting for us at the airport), stopped by the store & picked up a few things (should have picked up more!), and drove to the house. Harrison King, caretaker, had already unlocked the house for us. Later, he came by with our homemade dinner -- fresh grouper & conch served with baked potato & salad. Dinner for 4 was $80 & we tipped him $20. Well worth it! Other locals came by during the week selling fresh fruit, flour biscuits (a Bahama favorite), & offered fishing excursions -- take them up on anything they offer! It helps them make money & it helps you have things you might not buy otherwise. Mr. King also brought us jelly coconuts, complete with straws & ready for drinking, and homemade conch fritters! Yum! So come prepared to enjoy the uniqueness of this island & the locals. Sit on the front porch & watch the waves & never see another soul (well, we did see a couple of sharks near the shore). Just be sure to plan ahead. Plan your meals & bring any special ingredients from home & cook in the well-stocked kitchen. Bring extra toilet paper, dishwasher & washing machine pods & definitely coffee & filters! With good planning, you won't have to leave this beautiful place that often. Just sit on the porch, enjoy the palm trees and the beautiful view, and let the sound of the ocean soothe your soul!

Great place to stay!

This was our first trip to Cat. Stephanie the owner offered great insight and help navigating the island. The home offered a secluded place to escape from the everyday issues of the world and let you connect back to nature. The place offered all the amenities of your own private beach home. I would highly recommend a car for your trip to explore everything the island has to offer.

Our special home away from home

Boy, where to begin
We think of Banana Wind as our second home, taking us out of winter, and providing a delightful place to live. Our visits begin with Reynold (Captain and caretaker) meeting us at the airport, taking us to get our car and groceries (got to have a car), and then heading south. We stop for fresh bread and arrive home. The first view of the house and beach and water is amazing. We arrange for Reynold’s wife, Janice, to fix our first dinner-always wonderful with peas and rice and cold Kalik beer. Our days begin with a bike ride and deciding what to do: look for bone fish in the creek, snorkel out front or someplace else, kayak the bay, go fishing with Reynold to catch dinner (or many dinners), walk the beach, swim, hang around the house
what choices! The house is the perfect size-two bedrooms, 1 Âœ baths, nice little living room/kitchen with lots of screened windows to let in the breezes and fans to keep the air moving. And a big deck out in front (hint-the best spot to have cocktail and watch the sun go down). There is a local grocery a short bike ride away, which provides the basics
and depending on the season, local produce. If we do not go fishing for food, we ask Reynold to provide fresh fish-we have become addicted to grouper!! He never lets us down. The folks on Cat are friendly and helpful. We have made friends we look forward to seeing each year. Reynold is thoughtful, helpful, and responsive to requests and needs and one of those friends! Stephanie and Curt are super-understanding and helpful, and generous in sharing this amazing place. As other reviewers have said, Cat Island is a very beautiful, relaxed, out-of-the-way place. You will not want to come just once.

10/10 Excellent
