About this property

Private Estate on Pink Sand Beach w/ 2 Pools, Home Theater. SUMMER SPECIAL!

Kataluma is under new ownership and back on the vacation rental market! We have just discounted the summer rate by $1500 per week as an introductory offer.

Set on a two-mile-long powdery pink-sand beach overlooking the turquoise waters of the Atlantic, Kataluma House is a grand 6-bedroom, 6½-bath beachfront estate on Double Bay. Kataluma is our family’s dream vacation home. We are delighted to share it with guests who will care for it as we do.

This secluded 5000 sf home has two levels of living space. The upper floor features a vast open-plan great room with 20 feet of sliding glass doors for stunning beach and ocean views. At night, this room becomes a home theater with surround-sound, CD/DVD player, and 10’ movie screen with film library. The lower floor of Kataluma features a second family room, a recreation room with 8-foot slate pool table and flat-screen satellite TV.

Outside, luxuriate in our new oceanfront infinity pool, or in our backyard pool on the west side of the house. (There is a pool heat fee of $500 per week if you would like the pool heated.)

Lounge in our shady beachside tiki hut. Explore our offshore islands and reefs with our kayaks, stand-up paddle board, and snorkel gear. Kataluma has excellent snorkeling on the beautiful coral reefs right off the beach in front of the house. Grill and enjoy your day's catch on a variety of oceanfront and poolside patios and decks.

The upper level of Kataluma has four bedroom suites (all with king size beds). Each has its own name and design theme (Hibiscus, Gecko, Lotus, Frangipani) hand-carved on the wooden transom over the door. The doors are recessed into hallways to give private entry off the main living areas. Each bedroom has its own private bath, each with a unique design and style.

The lower level of Kataluma features a new downstairs master suite with a king bed and private bathroom. The second downstairs bedroom is a bunk room that sleeps up to 6 and has a dedicated bathroom. It is furnished with a full-on-full bunk bed and two standard-width bunk bed sets.

The lower level of Kataluma also features a second living room with a slate pool table with pub table, pub stools and spectator chairs for pool playing enthusiasts.

Kataluma’s gourmet kitchen will satisfy the most demanding chef. A 15-foot center island gives plenty of space for preparing your in-home meals. Or have our cook do it for you!

The stainless steel Bosch appliances include a glass cook top with downward draft ventilation, wall oven, microwave, refrigerator/freezer and dishwasher to facilitate the needs of guests, chefs and staff.

The kitchen is fully equipped with all the accoutrements needed to prepare your culinary delights including Boos board, blender, toaster, coffee grinder, coffee-maker, and a selection of spices and seasonings. Just outside the kitchen area is a large built-in Jenn-Aire gas cooking grill for your barbecue and grilling selections.

If you wish to dine outside, there is a convenient deck situated just outside the kitchen’s sliding glass doors, so that you can enjoy views of the west swimming pool, garden area, the sprawling coconut forest and spectacular sunsets. Adjacent to the ocean side pool, there is an outdoor dining table.

Some of Kataluma's Amenities:
• Pool Table
• Two Swimming Pools
• Oceanfront Tiki Hut
• Gas Grill
• Six kayaks
• Two stand-up paddle boards
• Beach chairs
• Yoga mats, resistance bads, weighted jump rope
• Back-up generator
• Central air conditioning
• WIFI (fast reliable Starlink!)
• CD/DVD Player with I-pod docking station
• Surround Sound System
• 10’ Movie Projection Screen
• DVD Player with Movie Library
• washer and dryer

Governors Harbour, the main town on the island, is just 15 minutes by car from the property.

Rates are on a sliding scale based on the number of guests. We set the rates this way to make the property more affordable for smaller groups who use less utilities and put less wear and tear on the house.

Wonderful trip!
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. 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: Kataluma was a perfect place to spend our Thanksgiving holiday! We enjoyed the beach, the infinity pool and we loved having private chefs (Jacquel Kemp and Shauna Knowles) cook for us so we could spend as much time as possible enjoying the villa! The bedrooms are very private and well equipped for large groups. We will definitely come back to stay at Kataluma!

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..

Such an awesome week at Kataluma
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. 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: 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.
