About this house rental

***Property Overview***
Cayman Castle and Guesthouse sits directly oceanfront on a private 2-acre gated estate and enjoys a wide white-sandy beach with fabulous snorkeling, kayaking, and sunbathing. Two private infinity pools, multi-tiered oceanfront terraces, a panoramic veranda balcony, and a well-shaded pool deck provide guests plenty of room to spread out and enjoy island living.

This grand estate is not only one of the largest rental villas on the entire island, but it also is a notable landmark. Virtually anyone on the island will be familiar with the Castle in the East End. While we are neighbors to the Wreck of the Ten Sails Park and the police constable's residence to the north, this property enjoys no residential neighbors to the north or south for 500 feet in either direction. This is a gated and walled estate with a private beach within.

The owner takes immaculate care of the property making upgrades every fall to keep the experience not only refreshing and pleasant for repeat guests, but for newcomers to the Cayman Islands as well.

***Villa Cleaning & Sanitation***
-- All villas are cleaned and sanitized prior to each guest's arrival. We also ask our owners to provide a starter supply of extra cleaning products. Additional housekeeping services can be purchased after booking in 3-hour time blocks. Scheduling may be coordinated with your property manager upon arrival.

***Beach Notes***
All beaches in Grand Cayman are technically public since the Queen owns up to the high watermark. Be advised, the beach or water entry behind your property may vary slightly from the images displayed due to weather. The next-door beach is also always available for your use.

***Ocean Debris & Sargassum Seaweed***
Beaches in Grand Cayman may also experience floating ocean debris and sargassum weed seasonally. Sargassum is a generally harmless floating seaweed that has increased in frequency in recent years. Although sargassum is an unsightly nuisance, it is largely seasonal in summer. Our owners do make efforts to remove heavy sargassum and will have the beach raked prior to your arrival.

Should sargassum be extremely heavy behind your property, we will reach out to the owner for alternative solutions which may include a partial refund or relocation. We try our best to work around mother nature.

The Cayman Castle and guest house were outstanding! We were a large group (19) and had plenty of room to spread out and have privacy if wanted. The great room, kitchen and outside patio area were very big and we did not feel crowded at all when all together. The views were fantastic and the facility extremely clean. My only thought for anyone that wants to spend time at 7 mile beach and Georgetown restaurants (I didn't) is that it is a bit of a drive, but for me I loved the fact it was in a quiet area without the crowds of the populated side of the island. There were a few restaurants close to the castle that were great! We took advantage of having the house pre-stocked with groceries and also used one of their recommended chefs one night. Check in and any contact we had with the management company was seamless. We will be back!

Our group had 15 people ranging in age from 5 months to 75 years old. The property is even better than advertised. We never felt cramped or lacked for any room. The Castle and guest house are wonderfully stocked with lot of towels and any kitchen gadget you would need. Lots of books, games, puzzles, pool toys and kayaks. A wonderful place to spend our anniversary with 4 generations of our family. We would love to come back some day.

Exceeded expectations! Excellent location. Quiet east end of island. Snorkeling by the barrier reef was some of the best on the island. Several restaurants & bars within walking distance. House was perfect for our group of 18 spanning 3 generations. We loved the Cayman Castle!

Property exceeded our high expectations. It was the perfect property for large extended family, as grandparents stayed in smaller unit. We liked being away from the busy side of the island and enjoyed being walking distance to many restaurants and the snorkel/dive shop. Manager was very responsive is our small requests. We hosted a chef one night and the house was perfect for that, especially that large outdoor deck for dinner. We would definitely stay there again

We had a great vacation. The cayman castle is an amazing property. It’s always a bit of a hit or miss to rent a property sight unseen using only an online listing. However, in this case, everything was exactly as depicted in the photos and write up. There were 12 of us in our party ranging in age from 19 to 79. The castle had sufficient room to allow everyone their own space while also affording plenty of family time on the multiple decks and in the infinity pool. Without a doubt, everyone in our party felt this was the best beach vacation we have experienced and the cayman castle was simply amazing. It’s located on the east side of the island away from the traffic and tourists, yet close enough to travel to Rum Point (north side of island) and 7mile beach for day excursions. We used the kayaks and snorkeled most days right at the castle. The castle has everything you need. And is within walking distance to a couple of great restaurants and bars. Our family had such a good time. I highly recommend this property if you’re thinking of staying on GCM.

We were a family of adults and children, ages 8 to 17. Overall the castle and location were perfect for our family. Only disappointments were the pictures online were a little deceiving as the infinity pool was actually much smaller then pictures indicated. Also the beach was pretty much unusable due to large amount of broken glass in the sand. Restaurants close to the castle were great! Island locals were extremely friendly and helpful.

If you are looking for something different than the resort scene at 7 mile beach, then Cayman Castle may be what you are looking for. Great views from every angle. The area had everything we needed from groceries to restaurants. Big Tree BBQ, Tukka, Eastern Star Fish Fry, Taco Cantina...all were wonderful. The house itself was ideal...very comfortable for all 8 of us. Infinity pool and surrounding patio were ideal. Bonus tip...make your way out to the white buoys for awesome snorkeling. Absolutely loved our visit to the East End.
