Kataluma - Private Estate on Pink Sand Beach w/ 2 Pools

Overview & Photos

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. Adjacent to the ocean side pool, there is an outdoor dining table.
