We had an excellent stay here at On the Bay. The combination of the pool and beach are unmatched and it’s hard to beat the view from the balcony. We appreciated the hard work from the landscapers to keep the beach looking beautiful. The condo was stocked with the basic necessities and there are groceries stores nearby for other needs. We really enjoyed Tukka and Over the Edge for dinner. Close to great snorkeling while being far enough from the hustle and bustle of the cruise ships to make it feel like you truly have your own slice of paradise. Would definitely stay here again.

What a perfect condo and wonderful stay! The location was quiet, the view was beautiful, and the condo was exactly as expected and portrayed online. We didn’t need to purchase a thing the condo is well equipped - check in and check out where a breeze! Communication was also excellent. Not one suggestion other than to allow lots of time if you’re heading into Georgetown during morning or evening rush, but that would be the only heads up! Love the second floor location with a balcony right at the ocean. Lots of great restaurants in the area to choose from.

The Apartment is stunning, clean and has everything, the location is great, the pool is warm and wonderful and we had the best time and did not want to leave. Also we run into some self made snag in the first day and the owner was super responsive and nice. I would definitely recommend to stay in the apartment and we would love to rent there again.

This was our second time in this condo and we enjoyed it. Not only the condo itself but we really like the north side of the island. Not as busy, the private beach and cove are great and the local people are so friendly. We never felt unsafe and had great conversations with some of the locals. Our favorite spots were Island Bites, best malts ever; and Italian Kitchen has the best pizza I've ever tasted!! The condo was clean and comfortable for our 12 day stay. Ernie was very responsive to all our questions before and during. Thanks for a great stay! Hope to be back someday.

The Old Man Bay location is invitingly quiet, but the various beach activities of Rum Point are within an easy drive. Easy access to restaurants/eateries: Over-the-Edge, Rum Point Restaurant, Run Point “walk-ups”, Caboose, & the nearby “taco” truck. Well-appointed condo with mask, fins, snorkel, beach towels. Condo is in excellent condition. Friendly grounds crew. Barbecue units are available, although we did not use. We enjoyed the well-kept grounds, sitting by the pool & on the beach.

It was exactly as presented. Great Condo.

Had a great time staying in Old Man Bay. It is away from the noise & 'tourist traps' of George Town. The view was spectacular, great protected swimming area & beautiful beach. Our condo was neat & clean - had everything you would need for a temporary stay. You will have a bit of a longer drive, but this was our favorite place we've stayed on the island thus far.

Just got back from a week in Grand Cayman; our family of four had a wonderful time. Ernie & Virginias place is beautiful and has all the amenities you need. It was great with two teenagers to have their own room, much better than staying in a hotel. The kids were able to snorkel in the lagoon and enjoyed that. It was rare that anyone else with at the pool with us. We were in close proximity to many restaurants, Tukka was our favorite. My husband also really like Czech Inn! We were close to Rum Point and took a boat ride to Stingray City and snorkeling. We had planned on doing a sunset cruise, but unfortunately the day we planned was not a great weather day. We were glad we hadnt booked the cruise prior to that day because I dont believe you get your money back if you cancel, they just give you another day. All in all we had a great time!

This condo was located in an ideal location on Grand Cayman if you are looking for solitude, but not too far from everything. 10-minutes to Run Point, 15-minutes to the East End and 30-minuets to Georgetown/Airport. Lots of beach towels, a couple chairs and a fully equipped kitchen made his the perfect rental for us.

Just got back from a week at Old Man Bay condo #206 - we had a fantastic trip, packing a lot of activities and beach time into our days. First off, the owners, Ernie and Virginia, have created an amazing oasis in their beachside home, filling it with everything a vacationer could want or need. The pictures really don't do the home justice - it was spacious, clean, and comfortable with great beachy decor. Secondly, the location was perfect. You are away from the crowds and traffic and close to great beaches and activities. Must dos close by: Stingray City (boats leave from Rum Point), Bioluminescent Bay kayaking (at night from Rum Point), and the Queen Elizabeth II Botanic Park are 5-15 minutes away. Not too far: Pedro St James Castle (ask for Stacy Eden Hurlston as your guide - he is descended from the original owners of this oldest home on GC). The beaches nearby were great - if you like beachcombing, this is a fantastic place to visit - we found sea fans, sea beans, sea glass (even some marbles!), urchin tests, sponges, coral (SO much!), and shells. Snorkeling is good, too. (We don't dive but hear it is amazing off GC.) Restaurants are great on the island - we had a car for the week so we were able to check out things near and far. We LOVED Kaibo at Rum Point, but also Tukka in East End (go feed the frigate birds at 5 each afternoon), Eagle Rays (sister restaurant to Tukka), Over the Edge (get the coconut shrimp) just 2 minutes from the condo, Macabuca at the Cracked Conch in West Bay for a sunset, Calypso Grill at Morgan Harbour in West Bay, and Sunshine Grill in the Seven Mile Beach area. Best of all was coming back each day to this fabulous home. Thank you, Ernie and Virginia for your hospitality. We had a wonderful stay and can't wait to come back!

We stayed in this condo in August . The apartment layout is perfect for family with 2 kids or even 2 families - 2 separate bathrooms make it easier. This apartment has everything needed for perfect stay, owners did really a great job to provide all necessary stuff . I rented many condos and houses in Cayman , and this one is the best out of all of them. Building located in quiet part of the island , it has elevator. There is pool in the complex, and the natural pool , protected by coral reef. On North site is really hard to find any place with good water entry, thus, this natural pool is really big plus . Many Thanks to Ernie and Virginia for very good accommodation you provided!!

comfortable with all the amenities needed!

Just got home from a week in Paradise. The condo was perfect for my family of four. 10 and 15 year olds shared the super large bedroom and loved having their own bathroom. The master bath and bedroom were perfect too. Kitchen had all the amenities plus more. Super clean and perfect location. The snorkeling right on beach was awesome. Saw all sorts of tropical fish including a lion fish. The pool was super clean and very refreshing. We liked being a few spots back from the beach so the wind was not so strong. Would go back again for sure.

I wish I could wake up here every morning! We had a great time at this very comfortable condo. Many days we had the pool and the beach to ourselves. The condo was very clean and well stocked with items we used everyday like the coffee pot, toaster and blender. Ernie checked in with us when we arrived to make sure everything was ok as did the property manager, Mitzi. We enjoyed being on the quieter side of the island and visited many of the restaurants on the East Side - Tukka, Eagle Rays, The Italian Kitchen, The Lighthouse and Over the Edge. A car is necessary for your stay here but it gives you the freedom to go anywhere you want on the island,. We highly recommend Star Fish Point, Rum Point, QE II Botanic Gardens and the Cayman Turtle Farm. We highly recommend staying here!

Thank you for providing a well equipped unit for a fantastic stay in Grand Cayman. The only thing missing upon our arrival was a coffee maker, which was broken by the previous tenants and was replace the next day. The North Shore is a wonderful area to get away from the crowds. Being snorklers, the location of Old Man Bay is in the middle of everything. Car rental is a necessity to take advantage of this location. We could get to our favorite snorkel spots at Cayman Kai beach, Star fish point, Spotts Beach and Eden Rock within 10-15 minutes. There's always someplace good to snorkel if you pay attention to the wind direction. When the wind is coming out of the Northeast, it's hard to snorkel from the North Shore. On the Bay Condo has a little "lagoon" that provides a barrier so snorkeling is possible even on high wind days and the lagoon has fish ( angel fish, jacks, porcupine and others). The balcony on the unit was wonderful for morning and evening meals and sunset views. I can't say enough about this location and condo. On our next visit to GCM we hope to stay at this unit again. Thank you Ernie and Virginia!!

I can't say enough how wonderful our stay was at this property. My husband and I are still in awe of our amazing vacation here. The condo is completely clean, spacious, and comfortable. We had breakfast every morning on the balcony overlooking the incredible view. While the pictures here are beautiful, in person the views are surreal. It was completely serene sitting by the pool and on the beach. It felt like our private oasis. The location is also wonderful. Just a short drive north to get to Rum Point, and a little further to find Starfish beach. We also like to drive into Seven Mile Beach to check out the shops and restaurants, and we didn't mind the 30-40 min drive where you can see great views of the water and homes along the way. There is no doubt we want to return to this fantastic property! What a dream vacation!

Very neat and clean. We couldn't swim in the ocean in front of the unit (too rough) but went to nearby beaches like Rum Point and Spott's. While that required quite a bit of driving, we really enjoyed the peace and quiet of the condo in the morning and afternoon. Pool is not heated but still comfortable. Well maintained grounds and unit. Thank you.

We spent a little over a week in this apartment in Old Man Bay and we had a fabulous time. It's a great set up for small children (we have a 6 year old with a physical disability and it was perfect) and the beachfront location is awesome. We were there over easter week and the beach was nearly deserted whereas every other beach on the island was packed. I cook a lot and the kitchen was well stocked and ideal for cooking three meals a day. The beds were comfortable and the apartment was impeccably clean. The washer dryer was super convenient, as was the cable TV. The view from the balcony was really wonderful. We liked the location - not touristy but easy to drive to Morritt's and Rum Point. We also went to the botanic gardens which are amazing. I recommend Hurley's grocery store over Foster's especially for meat, fish and produce. Definitely bring water shoes because there is a lot of coral on the shore. The snorkelling right in the lagoon was pretty impressive and perfect for our 7 year old to snorkel on his own. The lagoon is also great for swimming laps and the roads out of the apartment are safe for running for a woman alone. Ernie (the owner) was very responsive and helpful. We almost never go to the same location twice on vacation, and we are already planning to return . Cayman is fabulous and this apartment is the perfect getaway. We are all in withdrawal!

We had the good fortune of staying here for two months this past winter. This unit is very nice and well maintained. Since we were there for two months, we obviously did a lot of cooking in the unit. The pots and pans are not the flimsy little things that burn everything when you try to cook. The only thing missing was a cookie sheet! All the appliances were in good working order. Good supply of beach towels...plenty of linens. Seems as if they made it for your convenience! Couldn't ask for more. They called after we checked in to make sure all was ok and if we needed anything. Very accommodating! We prefer to stay here as Georgetown gets to be a bit crazy. There are several eating places nearby if you want to go grab a bite. Not wall to wall people!! We loved it here and hope to come back!

As other reviewers have said, this condo really did have it all. Very comfy for our fam of 4. The balcony and its view were great for morning coffee, board games with the kids and just relaxing and listening to the waves. Inside the unit it had everything we needed for a full week, including some extras that were very nice: beach umbrella & chairs, beach towels, extra flippers and snorkels, lots of linens, plenty of kitchen accessories, the list goes on. It had strong wifi and my boys loved their room with the game system, twin beds and their own bathroom. The pool was a wonderful spot and we spent several hours in it and relaxing poolside. I would recommend that bldg management and/or owners have it cleaned more than once a week...during our Sat - Sat stay the pool tech only came once, on Friday. During the week, we scooped a few dead crabs out (I get it, it's the Caribbean) and it collected quite a bit of sand and debris even though rinse buckets and hoses were available...just unaviodable when you have kids about. All but one group that we met on the property had kids. The beach in front of the condo was indeed rocky but not impossible to walk on. Compared to 7 Mile, our little cove seemed less than impressive...my boys chose not to swim in it much. We also did not snorkel in front of the condo although there are some great spots nearby. During our particular week they had several days of rough/choppy seas so we kept to more kid friendly areas like Rum Point and 7 Mile beach for snorkeling. If quiet and peaceful and a good deal for your money are important to you, I highly reco staying in Old Man Bay. This condo was lovely and we would stay again. Owners were very responsive to our pre-trip questions and follow-up after departure when we thought we left something behind. Go, enjoy!

If you're looking to get away from the elbow to elbow spacing of Seven Mile Beach - this is the place. You get the beach and all the serenity that goes with it to yourself. You will lack nothing in terms of amenities, and if you cook - it will save you a lot of money as restaurants are expensive. My family had a great stay. The place is immaculate and the owners were 100% responsive to every little need or request.

This was the cleanest condo I have ever rented. It had everything we needed and was very comfortable for a family of 5. The area was private and quiet. My only disappointment, and it has nothing to do with the condo, is that the beach alcove was very rocky. Great for sitting, relaxing and admiring the view but not for recreation.

We stayed at this water front condo for 10 days. The condo itself is large, bright and tastefully decorated. Kitchen had everything we needed. The best feature is a big balcony with magnificent ocean view. The swimming is perfect (if u have little kids it feels very safe). The beach felt super private (that's what we were looking for). The weather was fantastic. We didn't want to leave. It was truly one of our most relaxing vacation ever and we travelled a lot. Our favourite restaurant is Over the Edge which is right on the ocean, 2 min from the condo. the food was fresh and tasty. We had a great time on the island. I highly recommend this condo. The owners were very helpful and thoughtful.
