About this villa rental
===> PROPERTY OVERVIEW
Magnificent gated & walled luxury estate with a deep menu of A/V tech, guest services & amenities. Attention to detail and (optional) staffing/chef options give 9BR Rip Kai a micro-resort feel. A convenient oceanfront location in Rum Point on two acres of elevated sand offers our guests serene panoramic views, excellent snorkeling, and long walks on the beach. 5-minute drive (10-minute bike ride) west to the Rum Point Club and Kaibo Beach (restaurants, beach bars, watersports, charter boats, etc.)
The build was completed in the fall of 2022.
The vacation experience for our Luxury Platinum Collection villas begins with a group airport greeting by a professional chauffeur and a 28-seat mini-coach (7-day min stay). Our on-island hospitality team can coordinate the delivery of your rental vehicles to the villa in advance. The villa's driveway has plenty of off-street and covered parking for 4-5 vehicles.
Rip Kai is remote enough to be private, but also convenient to local restaurants, beach bars, water sports & services. Private transport options are available for restaurant dinners in the eastern districts. Includes access to a private (guests & owners only) fitness center (15 min. drive).
The owners purposefully designed & decorated Rip Kai for large, extended families/groups and those celebrating milestone events, with luxury, privacy, tech, and connectivity being primary considerations.
Rip Kai offers our Platinum Experience menu of services & amenities (click the Guest Services tab) with 1x mid-week light housekeeping (7 day stay minimum required), water toys, beach volleyball, beach games, and add-on menus of optional personal services & convenience items.

10.0 / 10.0
This house is just as beautiful in person as it is in the pictures. Our family had a blast there and having a concierge to help us get everything settled was wonderful. House has 4 kayaks for our use which we enjoyed. Quiet area with no one really around. It's a 45 minute drive back to the 7 mile beach area which is where most of the bars/resteraunts but if you are looking for peace and quiet this location is perfect. Had a fantastic boat trip with Cayman Luxury Charters.
