About this house rental

Your day at “Happy Kai,” starts with coffee and breakfast on the best beach around of course! Use our provided Keurig or drip coffee pot or walk across the street to Kaibo Beach Bar’s full coffee bar. They also have excellent croissants, breakfast sandwiches and full breakfast on the weekends.
When you are ready for your beach day, take 20 steps from the front door of Happy Kai and you are in the warm water of the Caribbean Sea. The closest house to the water in all of Gardens of the Kai, puts you closest to the soft sand, serene sunsets and peaceful lapping waves of the ocean. Happy Kai is an end unit which makes the beach very private. Beach chairs and side tables are plentiful - no need to reserve anything. The beach in front of the house also has several beautiful palm trees that provide a little shade.
1 paddleboard and 2 complimentary kayaks are included with your stay as well as complimentary snorkel gear, life jackets and a variety of sand toys for your use during your stay. The water of the North Sound is reef-protected, crystal clear and excellent for swimming, snorkeling, paddle boarding and kayaking.
A little walk up the beach (or a very short car ride with free parking) is Starfish Point, where you’ll discover Cayman's famous starfish. There’s also a picturesque white sand beach and beautiful palm trees to relax under for a while. For a more active beach experience, drive or walk about 1 mile to Rum Point and enjoy their huge selection of beach toys for rent, including jet skis, and a sunset sail that you shouldn’t miss. The beautiful beach-side restaurant and bar are perfect for a beach day that everyone will enjoy.

If you need a break from the sand, a large, communal freshwater pool with a sundeck and cabana is located on the property at Gardens of the Kai. Bring towels (included with your stay) and catch some sun on the newly remodeled pool deck.
You can also hop on the Cayman Ferry for a trip to Camana Bay. The neighborhood features excellent restaurants, shopping, a movie theater and grocery stores. Pro-Tip: There is a convenient walking bridge from Camana Bay to the world-famous Seven Mile Beach. It’s a beach to be experienced!
After a full day in the sun and sand, refresh in your suite before you enjoy cocktails at sunset on the beach. It’s hard to describe how beautiful the sunsets are, but you’ll enjoy trying to describe them to your friends after you see them.
For dinner, fire up the Charcoal grill for a beach barbeque or use the fully stocked kitchen to make a relaxing dinner at home. Cookware, dishware, glassware, and utensils are all included. On those nights that you’d rather not cook (or clean up!) head right across the street to the Kaibo Beach Bar for a “feet in sand” dinner under swaying palm trees. For an elevated dining experience, try Upstairs at Kaibo or simply swing by the Rum Bar for a very sophisticated cocktail. Rum Point is just a 5 minute drive and offers a very relaxed indoor dining experience. There are several other restaurants in the area including Over the Edge (10 min), Italian Kitchen (20 min), and the Westin Hotel on the East End (20 min). Pro-tip: Italian Kitchen will often deliver (depending on the season).
When it’s time to turn in for the night, each of the suites features king-sized beds, and relaxed, beach decor. The Master Suite is massive, featuring a luxury bath with separate sinks and sweeping views of the ocean. It also has a daybed for extra sleeping rooms. The 2nd upstairs suite has a King bed, a screened porch and a pair of twin bunk beds for the little ones. The first floor suite features a King bed, and double sinks in the en-suite bathroom.
We also provide a fresh drinking water cooler, water delivered in 5 gallon water jugs, a washer and dryer, and beach towels to save you some space in your luggage!

We booked this condo for our family of 6 adults, one teenager and one 5 year old. This home was PERFECT! Everything we could possibly need as far as utensils, toys, life jackets, kayak, etc. we had. Communication with Maureen was simple. Very easy process. This home is large with 3 large bedrooms, all with their own bathrooms which was a requirement for us so each family unit had their own. Off of one bedroom is a small area with built in bunk beds which work perfect for families.The North side is much more tranquil/away from the chaos of 7 mile beach! There is a restaurant/coffee shop/bar directly across the street that is open until 8 pm. There is also a pier there where you can catch the ferry over to 7 mile beach for ~$30/adult, ~$20/child round trip. You really need a vehicle if you plan to stay anywhere other than 7 mile area. This home is about a 50 min drive from the airport, but never felt like it took that long to driver there. Rum Point is right down the road - you can catch several excursions there - we did Stingray City and snorkle through RedSail. Very easy process. Hard to find anything to complain about with this rental! If I had to make a suggestion, I would add a lamp in the dining area by windows facing ocean. It would make it feel more homey than the recessed ceiling lighting. Not crucial, just a suggestion. I had groceries delivered from Fosters b4 arrival-they put cold items in fridge for me! Highly recommend this place!

The property has a great location. My only issue was with the 1990's outdated televisions. Unfortunately, there were a couple cooler nights, the television in the lower level was unwatchable and my guests told me the second bedroom television had a poor picture.

great house for two couples and kids. Seems small but well compartmentalized and organized. Unreal how close to the beach. Serenely quiet and peaceful. Kaibo is a nice restaurant which btw is right across the street, however, hope there were more establishments.

Our two families just returned from 10 days in this property. The location is quiet and everything we could ask for in a vacation rental. The house had plenty of room and was very well stocked. We had a couple of minor issues with the phone and AC which were dealt with quickly. The kids had the pool and many times the beach all to themselves. If you are looking to get away from the hustle of SMB then we highly recommend this place near Rum Point. It had the added bonus of a restaurant (Kaibo Yacht Club) directly across the street for those nights we didn't feel like cooking. We would definitely stay here again!! Thank you!

We’ve stayed many places in the Caymans and this is the best location and best house. Trade breezes, calm water, quiet. Perfect for a romantic get away or family vacation. The owners are friendly, responsive and easy going. The house is large and beautiful w en-suite bathrooms to all three bedrooms. Fantastic beach views from every room and is right on the beach. Walk out the door and you are in the water in ten steps. Watch your kids from the panoramic living room windows or go out and relax w them. There’s a beautiful pool on the property as well. Near Kaibo Yacht Club and restaurant (a flip flops, outdoor beach restaurant downstairs and beautiful restaurant upstairs) for all daytime meals or spectacular sunset dinners and it’s just 100 yards away. Full kitchen and you can load up the fridge at the local markets. We like to go see things wherever we go but we spent most of our time snorkeling, kayaking and relaxing on our own perfect beach. You can walk to Starfish Point or the bioluminescence bay or head 5 minutes away to Rum Point and get any trip to anywhere you want to go. Truly the place to let the weight of the world fall away. Relax in paradise and come home at ease wondering how soon you can go back.

We had such an amazing time on our vacation . The house was so beautiful. The pictures do not convey the crisp beachy feel. The house was immaculate and comfortably fit our family. Our morning coffee with the views we had was so relaxing and gorgeous. We loved being steps from the beach. The property manager Thelda was very helpful and was happy to answer any questions we had. We have an infant and when our flight home was changed to 6 hours later than scheduled, she saved the day by letting us stay a while longer in the house. The housekeeper Rose was so sweet as well. We look forward to coming back to this property!

I vacationed here in April with my wife and two adult daughters. The house was absolutely beautiful. It was so much nicer and larger than I had thought. The pictures really do not do the house complete justice. The rooms were warm, comfortable beautifully decorated. My daughters each had their own rooms and bathrooms. So everyone could have their own privacy. The house was big enough to have fit 3 families. The master suite was just wonderful, more than I hoped for. Fantastic view from the room of the ocean. The beds were firm and comfortable. The furniture in the house was great. Dishes for any dinner you want to make. We barbequed one night. The house came stocked with everything you could have needed or wanted. Forget something, the house had it. The house faces the water. Nothing blocking our view. We walked right out the house had our coffee and took a few more steps and went in for a swim. The water was warm and very inviting. We used the Kayaks and went around the bay, wonderful. The rum point area is so quiet and peaceful. We would go out for the day and come back to relax in serenity. There were a quite a few other houses there, but we rarely saw anyone, and when we did everyone was very pleasant. Kaibo Beach Bar was a walk across the street. Very nice and wonderful service. Rum Point beach and Restaurant was a mile up the road. Fun snorkeling. The restaurant was beyond fantastic. You have to eat there at least once. I would Highly recommend this house and Definitely stay here again. Absolutely Beautiful.
