Island HoppInn was the destination for our first trip to Cat Island. We were very impressed by the hospitality that greeted us at this quaint and relaxing paradise! The Inn was very welcoming and accommodating, greeting us at the door with a smile upon arrival and preparing a delicious breakfast of our choice (try her AMAZING cinnamon french toast). If... More

My wife and I found Island HoppInn by chance from hours of research on places in the bahamas. We were drawn to Island HoppInn because of the great reviews from other travelers and beautiful pictures posted online. Well, having now visited this paradise ourselves I can honestly say it was the best vacation we have experienced. If you are looking... More

This was our first trip to Island Hoppinn and we had a GREAT time! I can’t say enough about the service, food, location and fun factor. It’s a relaxing Bahamas style atmosphere with very nice accommodations. We explored the whole Island and found some great treasures to bring home. Flying in was easy, the runway is nice and customs went... More

We were really looking to get away from it all to relax and enjoy the beautiful Bahamas, Island HoppInn was exactly what we were looking for.

The Island HoppInn provides you with an opportunity to experience the Caribbean the way it was before resorts and cities crowded the beaches. The location is unsurpassed, your suite opens to the ocean, with a wooden pier from your porch to the beach. A gentle breeze cools your room, and the sound of surf lulls you to a blissful sleep....

If your goal is to get "away from it all", relax, get to know each other (and fellow guests) in face to face encounters (old fashion communication) - this has to be a premier location to do so. Kayak, fish, sandy beach walks, local artisan culture, this is the spot. We spent 9 days indulging ourselves in simple pleasures accented... More
