Great house in a great location
Publié le 16 nov. 2024 sur HomeAwayWe enjoyed a splendid vacation at the Banana Wind house. Lovely beach and grounds. The house was perfect for the two of us. The caretaker, Harrison, as very helpful and brought us the biggest lobster tail we had ever seen! We hope to return another time.

Great trip
Publié le 19 juill. 2024 sur HomeAwayWe 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.
Publié le 8 juin 2024 sur HomeAwayI’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.

We are so glad that you loved the amazing oceanfront location of our Banana Wind beach cottage. We agree, the reefs right in front of the home are great for snorkeling and seeing an array of beautiful fish.
Your stay was so short (3 days) and we did take your complaint while you were there seriously and have since corrected both the electric and internet issues for future guests. I apologize for the inconvenience.
We want our guests to have the best vacations and although this location is remote and laid back feel that all aspects are important.

Wonderful
Publié le 2 mai 2024 sur HomeAwayJust 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!
Publié le 9 oct. 2023 sur HomeAwayOcean 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!
Publié le 4 août 2023 sur HomeAwayThis 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.
