Welcome to The Gatehouse, your ultra-private island escape on the serene shores of Cat Island. Nestled directly on the turquoise waters of the Atlantic and surrounded by lush tropical beauty, this secluded beachfront cottage is perfect for travelers who crave tranquility, privacy, and unforgettable ocean views.
Located a quarter mile from the nearest home, The Gatehouse offers a rare sense of solitude. Start your mornings with coffee on the wraparound deck overlooking your private beach, cool off in the stone-walled pool, or paddle a kayak right from your front door to explore nearby coral reefs teeming with tropical fish.
Highlights:
~ Oceanfront with wraparound windows and stunning views
~ Private Beach & Snorkeling right out front
~ Ultra-Private Pool with stone walls for seclusion
~ High-Speed Starlink WiFi – perfect for streaming, remote work or Zoom

Incredible Snorkeling & Water Adventures ~
The Gate House is located in a calm, protected bay with vibrant coral reefs just offshore. Snorkel directly in front of the house to see stingrays, parrotfish, snapper, lobster, octopus, and more. Two kayaks are included for exploring the reefs or nearby mangrove creeks, which are also great for bonefishing.
