Fantastic location, steps to the beach. Plenty of space to spread out. Nice pool and outdoor space. 3 separate sitting areas! We were a party of eight girlfriends, and thoroughly enjoyed it.

Beautiful property. Each bedroom has an attached bathroom, a few different areas to sit inside and 2 pools outside. The path to the beach is paved/boardwalk. Easy access to and from the beach. We were lucky enough to see one sea turtle hatchling make its way to the water. Check in/out was seamless.

Hi there,
Thanks so much for the wonderful review! We hope to see y'all again soon.
-The Vacation Company
We loved our time at 6 Cat Boat. The house was great, light and comfortable, and the kids loved the heated pool. The location is amazing as the walk to the beach is about sixty seconds and the view was incredible. We loved this little vacation and plan on returning soon.
Excellent property for our 4 couples and 2 infants! 1 minute from the beach second row. Pools are great. Location couldn't be better in Palmetto Dunes away from crowds on the beach. A true 10/10.

Great property, super clean inside and out! Love the multiple den areas - kids were able to chill in one and adults in the other. Proximity to beach is closest we’ve ever had. Two minute walk from the door to the water. We’ve been coming to HHI for years and already decided we’re coming back to this property!

We stayed in May 2025 for a family reunion. The place was easy to find and clean. There were 7 of us and we had plenty of space. I especially like that there were 2 pools. There was a path to the beach access from the house. This made it easy to take a a quick swim. The house had plenty of dishes and glassware but not enough quality pots and pans. The kitchen is a bit small for the size house but it was fine. The vacation company was responsive when we called.

5* overall. The childrens rooms are close to the kitchen, but that's a tradeoff for the pleasure of having everything on one floor. One of the king beds was a bit soft, but at least we didn't roll into each other.
We had a wonderful stay at 6 Cat Boat! The location was amazing! We absolutely loved the home and the pools. It was even better than the pictures. We didn’t want to leave!
We really enjoyed this home during our vacation. Great location, right next to the beach path (maybe a 2 minute walk to the beach?), quiet street. Bikes were included with the stay - loved that too! The home is very comfortable with plenty of room to spread out. Nice kitchen appliances and everything was very clean. We will definitely use this house again next year.
We had a wonderful stay in this location. The proximity to the beach, the layout of the house, and the open floor plan were perfect for our family, which included 4 children and 4 adults. We would recommend this property to others!
The location was fantastic. Ample room for a family of 7 or more. Really liked the plunge pool and the full size pool. Amenities met all of our needs.

GREAT BEACH WEEK AT 6 CATBOAT!
this house worked so well for us with a 13 month old (1st trip to the beach) and a 2 1/2 year old (waterbug).... cannot thank you enough for the upgrades!! Great pools, comfortable beds, outside shower......... and beach access was PERFECT!!!!
One suggestion would be to add a water filter to the house....I cannot tell you how many cases of water we went through! THANK YOU FOR ONE OF OUR BEST BEACH TRIPS IN THE 13 YEARS WE HAVE BEEN MAKING BEACH MEMORIES! MAY God Bless you for all you are giving to so many people!

Newly renovated, this home is beautifully decorated and comfortably furnished with state of the art appliances. We love the access to the beach, plus a short walk to the Palmetto Dunes tennis courts, with easy access to multiple golf courses.

Wow!
This place was incredible! The inside was decorated remarkably well, and was absolutely gorgeous on the outside. The kitchen was very nice for the few nights that we didn't indulge in the great local eateries, and both pools were well-maintained and fun to have around. It was a very short walk to the beach, and it was paved, so it was very easy to carry all of our beach stuff down. This place was absolutely incredible, and I hope to be back soon!

Fantactic Property - we will be back!
Cat Boat is a great house---it has TWO pools---a huge one in front and a smaller square pool in back…perfect for the kids and the adults! It is like a brand-new home. We have vacationed in Palmetto Dunes for many years, but this was the best house we’ve ever stayed in.
There is a sitting area with a fountain off the master bedroom and it’s nice to just relax and listen to the waves. The beach path is just steps from the front deck and is paved---it’s a very short walk to the beach with strollers and kids’ things in tow. The house had everything we needed---the kitchen was stocked and the living areas were spacious, allowing us to spread out. It was super-clean and very nice. We hope to return next summer!
