鴿子灣海灘俱樂部飯店(Pigeon Cay Beach Club)

My happy place! This is my home away from home place. The bungalows are simple, tastefully decorated and extremely clean. Bedding and towels are soft and towels fluffy. Kitchens are adequate and fresh water is supplied - bottle. Come here to see the stars. Come here to relax, be alone, be social or just be. I love it here. Thank you Leslie and Ned See you next year.

Pigeon Cay is a delightful mix of six artistic bungalows of various sizes and bedrooms - each with its own natural stairs down to the beach - which is a perfect swimming crescent of superfine white sand and turquoise water. My daily swim down the beach - Ikm down and 1km back - goes past about 8 houses. The tidal creek behind the club is full of wildlife, we took the club sea kayaks and set in at high tide and rode the tide down the creek past basking sharks, turtles, rays, bone fish, blue herons, and a group of ospreys. Another day we took the club bikes to the Atlantic coast - 4km for the wild surf and co**** pink sand. This was our 8th year coming to Pigeon Cay and each time we find great wildlife, meet interesting guests at the honor bar, and the usual great hospitality from owners Ned and Lesley!

My wife and I stayed at the Pigeon Cay Beach Club recently and thoroughly enjoyed it. The resort is situated on a secluded white sand beach and, with only six units scattered among the numerous trees, feels very uncrowded and relaxed. Our cottage (Winston) was small but had everything we needed, including a well-equipped kitchen, plenty of privacy, and a patio with a beautiful view of the ocean. The beach was literally just a few steps from the cottage and stretches for over a mile. We seldom saw anyone else on the beach except for Nala and Yoda, the owners' friendly and playful dogs. We appreciated the numerous artistic touches in our cottage and around the grounds, which added to the overall charm and laid-back feel of the Beach Club. The owners, Ned and Leslie Kennedy, were friendly and helpful hosts who made us feel very welcome and insured that we had everything we needed. Two things to be aware of are that mosquitoes and sand flies are present at times, and that the facility is largely self-catered. We brought plenty of bug spray and we like to cook, so neither of these were big issues for us. Overall, this is a great place, and we would not hesitate to stay there again.

Just back to the States after a week at PCBC. This was my fourth visit in past 17 years; one lasting image among many - the state (and evolution) of the property propped atop 400 yards of the sweetest beach & ocean in the Bahams, built and managed by Sir Nedwin III & Ms. Leslie is in epic form. Long morning beach walks, longer evening swims towards Alligator Point, dozing in the hammock with Stuart Woods's latest beach read ;-) - My 7 days riding solo, lodged in a Garden View suite, disconnected from the bells, buzzers, bings & bongs of city life was punctuated only by the sounds of the ocean breeze whistling through the trees and surf lapping up onto the shore. A couple of note: - Transportation: you can take a taxi from New Bight airfield to the beach but may want to consider for shopping/ exploring the island - to rent a car. There is no shuttle service to/from PCBC so for $50//$60 a day could be a smart move for some families. - Food: Kitchens are outfitted to the max in all cottages- but whether you take Taxi or Rental - incumbent upon guests to stop at the local Market on the way to stock the Fridge with beverages, snacks, ice creams, fruit, etc. Ned/Leslie do serve a family style dinner once sometimes twice a week and some breakfast is available upon request, (Coffee at the Free bar every morn) - but it is key to supplement with water and fruit during the day. There are restaurants on the island - Leslie will update hours. - No See-Ums: Good idea to pack a couple of long sleeved t-shirts and lite trousers for after the sun goes down and the little critters sometimes join the festivities around the Bar. Leslie has the property stacked with sprays, lotion sand gadgets to minimize the situation but always good to prepare. PCBC remains better than ever a slice of heaven. The peace & serenity of the property is golden. I will be back. Cheers.

My husband, sister and I stayed in the Big House for 5 nights in early June 2022. Delightful pups and friendly guests : ) Can’t seem to find the words to describe the beach, it’s the type of beach dreams are made of. Absolutely pristine. The accommodations are great, everything from the layout and the well-stocked kitchen, to the beautiful bathrooms, and lovely covered porch. You can get internet in your cottage for an extra fee, though it is free in the common area. The honour bar is a nice perk, and a great place to get to know other guests. If you are planning on being there during the annual Rake n Scrape festival, you should know that you may not be able to get a rental car. Also, there are limited grocery options handy to Pigeon Cay, so if you plan on eating in, stock up on the way. There are lots of little roadside eateries though, so do go out and enjoy them too. You will need wheels though, as there is nothing within walking distance. I think the staff on site will prepare meals for you, but we did not opt in on this so can’t really comment. Hosts Leslie and Ned fully respect your privacy AND are always available and helpful if you need anything. They helped us with our lack of rental car, and lent my husband a fishing rod, as one of his broke during our travels. If you like a busy night life or bustling beach, then you might be left wanting. For us though, Cat Island is an ideal mix of natural beauty and rural lifestyle, a delight to explore. We will return.
