Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: You cannot ask for a more secluded and private location! Snorkeling and spearfishing right off of the beach, paddling to the two islands, swimming in the two pools, walking and relaxing on the beautiful beach, excursions, traveling to the Caribbean side, and eating the outstanding meals prepared by Andrew, Kataluma is simply Paradise! Highly recommend! ##### Dawn V. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Linda H. 17 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 50th Wedding Anniversary celebration with family First time to Kataluma. Vacationed with our son, daughter & their families. What a spectacular week! . The house was beautiful, lots of room. The infinity pool was our hang out spot for the week, awesome ocean views! Flew into GHB, rented cars from Kean Stubbs. With the house located in the central part of the island it's easier and less of a drive to get to sights in the north and the south. The Atlantic ocean provided a beautiful view and crashing waves. It was a little rough with the rocks in front of the house, but that didn't stop us from kayaking! Played lots of pool in the evenings. Ten minutes away was 10 Bay Beach which was great for snorkeling. Crystal clear water and all shades of blue. Did a full day boat excursion with Captain Rob, lots of awesome adventures!! Took a day & went north to Harbour Island for horseback riding, stopped at Queen's Bath & Glass Window Bridge. If you've never been to Eleuthera before, be prepared for beach roads that will hold your attention while driving, plus remembering to drive on the left side of the road. Before the trip, Matthew Simon was very helpful and responsive. Property management & staff were very friendly, and quick to respond during our stay. We hired Andrew Demeritte to cook dinner a couple of nights. Having never done that before, we were extremely pleased with how it turned out! Would highly recommend this rental lots of space, very comfortable & relaxing! ##### Linda H.

Reviewer Comments: We stayed at Kataluma for a week in late July 2024. The 5 bedrooms were perfect for the 5 adult couples as everyone had their own bath and space but a large “great’ room for meals, card games and watching the Olympics on the big screen. We played billiards on the first floor. The view from the kitchen and main room is fantastic. The pink sand beach made for an easy-sandy water entry. The more active of our group kayaked and used stand-up paddle boards, while others lounged in the perfect infinity pool. The unit was very clean and well maintained. When we had any issues, someone was there within the hour to address it. Kataluma is well located, directly on the beach, on a decent road and near Governor’s Harbor. We explored several nearby ( and a couple of distant) beaches and enjoyed the snorkeling right off the stairs and out to the islands. We can highly recommend. ##### Loren M.

The bedrooms are very private and well equipped for large groups. We will definitely come back to stay at Kataluma! ##### Kristi N. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Paul C. 7 Nov 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 50th birthday bash!!! We had a wonderful stay at Kataluma!!! There were 8 adults and the main living area more than accommodated all 8 of us cooking, cleaning or just hanging out!!!! We loved the theater system and used it several evenings while winding down… the heated pool was awesome and we really enjoyed the beach.. the surf was surprisingly calm for this time of year.. we had fish brought and filleted at the house one evening and another evening we had Jeremy Lewis in one evening to prepare a meal.. all fresh, all delicious!! We also went on a private boat excursion with “exotic Excursions” with Sheldon.. he was very accommodating… All in all Kataluma was amazing, we would definitely recommend a stay at this house.. ##### Paul C.

Reviewer Comments: First time to the Bahamas. First time to Kataluma. What a spectacular week. Vacationed with 3 other couples. The house was great with a huge open area for visiting. All bedroom's had king size beds with private bathrooms, huge plus. The infinity pool was for sure our hang out spot for the week and so very awesome. The house location was very secluded and we never saw many tourists and the only time we saw locals (besides the staff) was at the store. Food and alcohol are more expensive but we knew that going in and it wasn't a big deal. The location of the house was perfect. The Atlantic ocean provided a beautiful view and crashing waves. It was a little rough, but a Hurricane had just passed through. 10 minutes away was 10 Bay Beach which was the most beautiful ocean I have ever seen. Crystal clear water and all the shades of blue. There were just a few other people at this beautiful beach (we spent two days at this beach) Before the trip, Matthew Simon was VERY responsive and helpful. The property manager Ann was very attentive as was Violet and Martin (the house staff). The only negative is the outside of the house, outside furniture need to be refreshed and replaced being pretty weather worn. The beach chairs and beach equipment all seem to need replaced. BUT none of this affected our stay and we are planning another trip May 2023. Would highly recommend this rental. ##### Deena W.

Reviewer Comments: We stayed at the Kataluma house between 7/10 - 7/17/21. The pics of the of the lanai facing the ocean do the view justice, while the pictures of the interior do not. What kind of comes across as a cut up layout, this is not the case. The main floor is completely open in the multi-tiered great room with 4 bedrooms at each corner of the house. We were a group of 9 adults and never once felt on top of each other. If you've never been to Eleuthera before, be prepared for beach roads that will hold your attention while driving. After you adjust to the change of environment, the Kataluma house will serve you very well as your retreat for comfort and relaxation. We would go out and explore on most days and then be very appreciative of what we were returning to. The one thing I would definitely recommend to any first timer to Eleuthera is considering a chef coming to the house. We've never done that before, yet were extremely pleased with how it turned out. We had several days where lunch and dinner provided at the house cost less than one dinner out. The other challenge for the few meals we prepared for ourselves was "grocery stores" on the island are not like the supermarkets at home.Back to the Kataluma house. When asking others about any new experience they had, I like to ask them, "would you do it again?" If someone were to ask that of me about the Kataluma house, I would respond - Absolutely. ##### Norman D.

The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our family of 8 adults had a wonderful vacation in Eleuthera. Kataluma House was very accommodating for all our needs. The location, right on the Atlantic, was breathtaking!!! We enjoyed the infinity pool daily as well as peaceful walks on the pink sand and surfing the waves at the house. Kataluma is well stocked and plenty of amenities. Island Farm is right around the corner for convenient grocery and produce pick up. All dining experiences were wonderfully delicious. Property management were friendly, super helpful and quick to respond before arrival and during our stay. Will definitely plan to visit this pink sand paradise again! ##### Kerre R.

This is one of the best. If you like peace, quiet and being away from it all this is your spot. The pictures do not justify the views. The property is well kept and the house was clean. Keep in mind it sits facing the ocean and takes a beating year round. The normal ocean wear was present, but Martin manages to stay ahead of it. The ocean facing infinity edge pool is wonderful, and the pool behind the house on the land side is a quite oasis. The tiki hut is a nice step off to the beach, with the toys listed. It was rough from the Atlantic side the week we stayed, but we did get in one snorkel on the reefs in front of the house, and paddled to nearest Cay several times (do this at low tide to access the beach - requires you to navigate around some coral heads). Inside the open plan for dining and living is great. We had a crew of 8 and it was never crowded. The kitchen will have everything you need, and the appliances are all in good shape. Downstairs, the bunkroom is great for kids / teens and the other BR with a King is large and nice. No complaints on bedding, everyone slept well. Internet was good and the few times some of us had to work, it was not an issue (did have to be reset a time or two). Violet comes twice a week for a freshen up and quick clean - much appreciated. Lastly, I would recommend having a cook come at least once during the week. We had Krystal Knowles cook for us one night and it was wonderful, and less than a meal for all of us at a restaurant. Great place, great set up, good communication and a good value for the price. ##### Wade C.

We especially enjoyed the infinity pool overlooking the ocean and the huge family/kitchen/dining room with movie theater. Martin was very kind and helpful with anything we needed and the girls kept up with the towels and cleaning a couple of days while we were there. Thank you Anne Bethel also for your being right on point with any questions/concerns we had while there and with all your helpful instructions about the house. ##### Janice C.

Reviewer Comments: We enjoyed the house for 8 nights. The pool in the picture was heated which was perfect for early spring. One day it was hotter and less wind blowing and we got in the other pool which was a few degrees cooler and it was perfect for that day. Our blender went out and I called Anne on a Sunday and it was the last day and she showed up less than a hour later with another blender so we could finish off the Pina Caldas! Outstanding. Everything in the house worked. It was clean and maids came every other day to keep it clean. We stayed at the house most of our trip. The beach access was right there with steps going down. Easy! Great house to enjoy. ##### John L. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jeffrey J. 17 Apr 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Yellow Birds Annual Vacation Property was exactly as photos displayed.

I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The Kataluma vacation rental was a nice large house to accommodate our large family of 16. Each bedroom suite has its own bathroom and shower, which made it easy for each couple to have their own space. The grandchildren enjoyed the bunk room in the lower level of the house, which also included another adult suite to the side. We enjoyed the 2 pools one Oceanside and one on the less windy side. The large kitchen table and living room seating was ideal for a large crowd. A tiki hut outside was shaded and the pool area had an outdoor table and chaises to lay on. The ocean front provided reefs to snorkel on, it is on the Atlantic Ocean, so it was a bit wavy during our stay. Breathtaking views from the main room. They also have a big screen dvd for the kids to watch at nighttime, which they enjoyed to wind down for the evening. Bring adult dvds not many here to choose from. A few minor issues, but nothing to complain about, they resolved these issues during our stay. The help are extremely nice and helpful! We had a great time and would book again. ##### S. L.

The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was more than happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house has a great set-up and the location is very central to the island. The downfall is in the winter it is very windy on that side of the island. We were told the summer months were not. The pool was supposed to be heated but it took 3 days before it consistently worked and it was more due to my Brother-in-law figuring it out. The house has a very closed up musty smell and the bunk room smelled like spoiled linens. Ann, the property manager was great, and Martin, the maintenance guy was very responsive but it would take multiple visits to get the pool heater going and the cloudiness in the pool to disappear. The mattresses desperately need to be replaced they all sag in the middle. Overall, I think the place could use a serious deep clean and some TLC, replacing mattresses, outside furniture that has rusted and other items. The kids loved the theatre wall and the adults loved the tiki hut. ##### Misty M.

Reviewer Comments: We were a group of 12 that stayed in the Kataluma house in March of 2020. The house was amazing with lots of space to handle a big group and give people lots of places to spend time doing different activities. The property manager and staff were outstanding... responding quickly to anything we needed. I would highly recommend Kataluma for your vacation. ##### Greg D.

The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our group stayed at Kataluma in February 2020. We were all adult couples and had plenty of room for all of us with each of us having our own bedroom and private bathroom. The infinity pool area was a favorite place of ours to hang out together. We never used the other pool. The internet connection was on and off all week and the phone line to the house was not in service but we were on vacation so the lack of connection forced us to disconnect from the outside world for a while which wasn't such a bad thing. We did a lot of exploring of the island from top to bottom. We had Jeremy and Anna come in and cook a meal for us one night. We would highly recommend them. You need to take on the attitude of being on "island time" during your stay! Slow down and enjoy the beauty!! We are so grateful for the time spent on such a beautiful island. ##### Deb S.

Reviewer Comments: We are a family of 6 adults and 4 babies (ages 2 and under). This house was perfect for our family. The house was welcoming, very clean and comfortable. We loved the view from inside the house. We also loved that each bedroom had its own private bath and all the beds were very comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped. The heated infinity pool was amazing, the Tiki hut was fun, we had all the toys (kayaks, floats, etc) we needed. The beach was beautiful with a nice tidal pool for our babies to play in. The staff was very impressive, friendly, professional and thorough - Anne, Violet and Martin. Josh Demeritte really made our vacation so special and easy. We fell in love with the island (Surfers Beach, Hatchet Bay Caves, Ocean Hole, Tippys, Gregory Town) and highly recommend this house, rental company, staff and location. Can't wait to return. Thanks to everyone from start to finish for helping to make our vacation one to remember. ##### Susan G.
