The ocean view is the trump card of Ocean View Coral. The living area (kitchen, dining table comfy seating) all share an unobstructed view of powder white sand beach, gorgeous blue water dotted with coral formations and palm trees and sea grass along the sand dunes. The expansive ocean facing deck runs the full width of the villa and can be accessed from the 2 spacious ensuite bedrooms as well as the living area. Another plus is the restaurant at Greenwood Resort which is a 20 minute walk along the beach or 5 minute drive. We enjoyed several dinners there and took a great snorkel trip with Antoine.The villa is well equipped and well maintained, although it needs a generator. We were without power 2 mornings, which meant no water from the taps. I would advise arranging with Lana the property manager to have the villa pre-stocked with groceries and water or shop in New Bight immediately when you land. Driving is a challenge due to road conditions. But the endless beach, beautiful ocean and stunning sunrises in front of Ocean View Coral and the beautiful people of Cat Island made our trip unforgettable.

We were looking for a place to stay that was comfortable but far away from resorts and other people. That is exactly what we got! Nancy and her caretaker were both very responsive and helpful. For those new to Cat Island they both provide important and helpful context on how to prepare for the trip and what to expect- even including tips on getting there from Nassau. The setting is just so gorgeous and you have like a 100m of beach to yourself. I think in two weeks we saw three people. When we felt like some company we walked 100m to the Pink Chicken bar for some excellent fish and conch... and a few beers. The snorkelling off the beach was fantastic. So many fish including a very large and curious baracuda. The house itself is completely modern and has everything one could ask for. We will be back.

We really enjoyed our stay at Banana Wind. I highly recommend having Mr. Harrison King prepare dinner for your first night. I recommend renting an SUV or something other than a car. The roads are terrible…everywhere

One of the most beautiful places ever. Bring long sleeves and pants if you are someone who is irritates by sand fly bites-- regular deet wont cut it! Meal there was lovely-- perfect spot!!

Great time

Large house with the most incredible view and beautiful pool. Great family getaway, ideal location to so absolutely nothing & everything! Everyone on the island is incredibly nice & hospitable and looking to assist in any way possible. The water is breathtaking & the grounds spacious!
