6 Bedroom House in Double Bay

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.

Summary: 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: 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.

Summary: 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: 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!

Summary: 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!

Summary: 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..

Summary: 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!

I definitely recommend you stay

Summary: 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.

Summary: We have stayed in a number of places across the Caribbean. 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.

Summary: 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: 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.
