Halverson House Villa Resort is a hidden gem on Cat Island. The location is truly breathtaking. Our bedroom window looked out onto one of the most pristine sandy beaches we had ever seen. The accommodation is clean and well appointed with all mod-cons (fridge, AC, hot water and even a microwave). Our nine month old was able to go for... More

“Stunning location!”

Reviewed 11 May 2012

Very basic accommodations that, with a lot of money, care and attention to detail, could become a little slice of heaven. The beach was absolutely beautiful. More

We just returned from a wonderful week at Halvorson House on Cat Island. If you want white sand and the most beautiful clear aquamarine water right out your door, a lovely decorated villa, sea breezes, Egyptian cotton sheets, sunny days, great food.....I could go on. Sooner and Matt Halvorson have resurrected six villas (one is theirs) just steps from the... More

We had such a wonderful time with you both. The long laughter-filled visits after dinner and the trip to Orange Creek will always be held close to our hearts. Thank you for taking your chances on a new resort! We can't wait to see you on your next visit! More

As a solo traveler, I was looking for a place to spend a couple of days that wouldn't be too expensive, where I wouldn't need to rent a car, and where I would be able to meet other people, both travelers and locals. Halvorson House exceeded all of my expectations. Matt and Sooner were exceptional hosts. When my flight into... More

Um, Why am I back from vacation? I stumbled across this new resort and was completely blown away. The location is awe inspiring: Spotless, gorgeously decorated bungalows with fridges and special touches throughout. Sooner makes her own soaps and shampoos that you swear that you can eat. White sand and bright aqua water maybe 12 steps from our front door.... More

We loved everything about the time we spent at Halvorson house. Our bungalow was charming, clean, comfortable, spacious, and steps from the most pristine white sand beach I’ve ever walked on. There are a couple of delicious Bahamian options within walking distance but anything else will require a long walk, bike, or rental car. No worries, the Halvorson’s have a... More
