About this house rental
***Property Overview***
Conch'ed Out is a cozy oceanfront cottage in Old Man Bay along the island's North Side.
This Caribbean-style 3-bedroom home offers excellent snorkeling just steps off the backyard! A sandy trail with paver stones leads down to a pebbly beachfront. We recommend guests wear pool shoes or fins for foot protection when entering the water.
Conch'ed Out sits on an oversized 1-acre lot measuring over 400 feet deep with a gated driveway, private pool, and heavy landscaping out front.
French doors and screened porches, on both the front and rear of the main cottage, provide great cross-ventilation in the winter when air conditioning is seldom necessary. Air conditioning units cool the bedrooms and bathrooms only while ceiling fans cool the living areas.
In cooler months, you can leave the house open from both the front and rear screen porches with ceiling fans running to comfortably cool the home.

Additional housekeeping services can be purchased after booking in 3-hour time blocks. Scheduling may be coordinated with your property manager upon 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.

Exceeded expectations, great time of year to go had the whole beach to ourselves. Outstanding property that I would happily rent again.

We loved the privacy at Conched Out. And the beauty of the Caribbean, the palms, white sand… brilliant stars at night- it was paradise. We will definitely be back! Hopefully sooner than later!!!

Unsafe home
The house itself is quite nice and secluded. However, the house was broken into through dead bolted doors and we were robbed of significant amounts of cash. The house has no safe or cameras and sits far from the road. It is too secluded to be safe. We left the house after the robbery for a hotel our last 2 nights. We have not been refunded the money for both of those night but only for one night. The management company now hasn’t returned my emails. I spent my last 2 days on vacation moving my family to a hotel, calming my children’s nerves, paying for a hotel and now am spending time pursuing a refund, never mind the value of our stolen items and cash. Look elsewhere on tbe island and avoid the north side.

Beautiful Views
Conched Out, what a beautiful setting, home and grounds.
Everything you need for a awesome, peaceful vacation. The pool a great bonus to the property. Everything clean and in good working order. We enjoyed every minute and loved the peaceful area of the location. Thanks so much for sharing this awesome property!

We had a fantastic trip. If you are looking for a very low key getaway, this is the place. The only negative was the trash on the beach. It's not really a swimming beach but with the pool, that was fine by me.

Beautiful ocean view. Continuous sound of the ocean lulled us to relax and restore.
Home is comfortable for two couples or one small family. We enjoy this side of the island and this location. It is quiet, with privacy, authentic restaurants, and much less commercial feel.
The ‘beach’ pictured for this home does not resemble the ‘beach’ in the property. We were greeted by a filthy, trash strewn, seaweed with bugs beach that was not walkable and not acceptable by photo or description expectations.
The TV didn’t work and no instructions were provided. A call to property manager was promptly responded to and tv was up and running by third day. No one goes to the beach to watch tv but Thanksgiving football games were a must!
Kitchen was well appointed and we especially appreciated the dish soap, paper towels, toilet paper etc. that most places have you buy for yourself. FYI: there is a shelf holder missing under a bottom cabinet shelf in the kitchen that resulted in a broken glass bowl as lifting one item created the entire shelf tipping over. Sorry.
Overall, we had a wonderful time full of relaxation and enjoying the exquisite site and sound of the ocean against the rocky beach. We would return to this home but request the beach area be cleaned before our arrival and maintained while we are there.
Bring water socks—beach is rocky but worth it!

Loved Conched Out!
My husband and I stayed at Conched Out late August, early September. The house was perfect for us. It feels like you have your own little resort all to yourself. We appreciated having the pool. Yes, some have mentioned that it is small but to us, it was just fine. The late afternoon and evenings were fairly warm and the pool was very much appreciated. There is a short path to the ocean from the backyard to a narrow patch of sand beach that you can enjoy, as well as, an abundance of sea shell treasures. We took a hike from here in both directions navigating through rocks and sea shells. Very enjoyable hike using caution due to all the shells and rocks makes this a pretty nice bit of exercise. We spent most of our daytime hours scuba diving and other excursions such as visiting Rum Point, Starfish Alley, Stingray City, The Turtle Center, as well as, the Botanical Garden which, by the way, is a definite must do if you are a nature lover and/or botanical enthusiast. All the basic essentials Soaps, TP, good linens and towels etc. The property management company was very good to work with as well. A light bulb needed replacing and the Coffee Maker carafe was cracked when we arrived. We used it a couple of times as it wasn't leaking, but later contacted the Property Management and they immediately brought us an entirely new Mr Coffee Maker and replaced the light bulb. This was appreciated as well. We love beach life and if ever we return to Grand Cayman, Conched Out may very will be our home away from home once again. I highly recommend staying here if you want privacy, ocean access and the comforts of home.

Peaceful, immaculate, private
This villa was perfect for us--away from the crowds, the shopping, and the commercialism. We spent our time at the botanical gardens, at Starfish Point and the surrounding areas, on drives around the island, and enjoying quiet mornings and evenings in this lovely cottage watching the changing skies and hearing the birds and the water. The pool is small but refreshing, and the resident roosters and hens provided us with all the entertainment we needed! Also, we highly recommend nearby Tukka restaurant--excellent cuisine with a beautiful view.

Absolutely loved Conched Out. It was perfect for our group of 2 couples. Everything you needed was there. It was super clean. Loved the layout and all the doors to enjoy the lovely breezes. The views were absolutely stunning from the pool/ deck area and from the screened in porch to enjoy coffee in the morning. You can also enjoy the porch after the sun goes down without the hassle of mosquitoes. The location was quiet and private, we did not want the hustle of 7 mile beach. There were good restaurants close by, along with liquor store. Groceries were a little farther but plan ahead and stock up. The snorkeling off the beach was good also with some hidden underwater statues to find near the white pole in front of the property next door. Would definitely recommend and stay here again.

Fabulous week at Conched Out
We have just returned from a seven day vacation at Conched Out on the north side of Grand Cayman. We have stayed in several villas on various Carribean islands and feel Conched Out was truly at the head of the pack. The house was very spacious and well laid-out and we lived on the sprawling front porch where we would listen to the waves and watch the palm trees blow in the breezes. The pool offered us a way to cool down and was another great vantage point as we could bask in the sun and watch the sea in its graduated blues and greens.
The house itself was so clean and well appointed. Other rentals have been sparse in their basics, whereas Conched out had everything we needed....tons of glassware, pots and pans, towels, linens, floaties for the pool, flashlights, candles, you name it, Conched out had it.
The location was peaceful and safe and we walked or ran each morning out our door as the sun was rising and always felt so safe. Restaurants are nearby as is good snorkeling and fun beaches. This place has it all and I can't wait to return to this oasis by the sea.

PRIVATE OASIS!!!
This house was everything it was described to be...and more! My husband and I don't really love the hotel experience, we like something a little slower, simpler and more private. This was EXACTLY that. The location was beautiful and the owners took care of so many things for us, that we even felt like we had the hotel conveniences. We spent a lot of time sitting outside, making our own dinners and eating them out in the screened porch, and scouring the beach for unique seashells to bring back for the kids. We also spent a nice amount of time at Rum Point and Kaibo, which were the perfect "island-style" hangouts. We went into town a few times, and we were so bored by the touristy bars and shops... you can get that anywhere! The North Side gives you the real Cayman experience. I would DEFINITELY recommend this!!

It was amazing!!!
From the moment we drove up, the stress of our jobs and craziness of life began to melt away. The sound of the ocean rolling in and the acccess to our pool were just added bonus. It was a great experience for all four of us. Thank you conch'ed out for a great family retreat!

Definitely one of our best vcations
House and property are terrific and as advertised..Very clean, and nicely decorated. Porches were awesome as were the views of the ocean. The property is definitely very private and the pool is nice but a bit small. Loved the fact that you could enter/exit the property from so many locations including the bedrooms, living room and kitchen. The beach is very rocky and no place to lay out that was on the property. You have to walk down a few beaches to get some sand which is still very rocky so the beach photo is not how the beach was as of our visit. If you're looking for sandy location this is not the place to rent however if you are looking for incredible snorkeling this place has that for sure. Wasn't a major issue as we drove to Rum Point and Star Fish Beach a few days for the tranquil water and white sand...Will definitely come back. Overall probably one of the best vacations we've had.

Conch'd Out
5 stars for a great retreat, perfect for a family of four away from the cars and bustle of life! The house was well equipped, no issues at all while we were there and would very much recommend it to others. The pool was great - it is small but we had a blast and enjoyed the canoes in the sea as well.
Some lovely restaurants in easy driving distance, a car is a must however if you want to explore.
1 week was not long enough and we would be happy to come again for longer.
Thanks for a great location,
The Phillips family

What we hoped for and so much more!!
We found this property exceeded our expectations. It was very clean, well stocked with everything you might need, comfortable, and to have the pool and ocean right outside the door is my idea of paradise. We also found several nice restaurants in the area and spent a day at Rum Point where we took a boat ride out to swim with the stingrays! For anyone looking for a relaxing beach vacation.......look no further. A very good value for the money!

Pure Heaven !!!!!!
The description of this villa was perfect ! Immaculate and well stocked with every conceivable " need" thought of in advance . I almost don't want to say how truly perfect it was, because I plan on coming every year , and I don't want it booked solid !!! Perfect for a fun girls trip , I can also see a family , or honeymooners loving it ! Private, quiet , peaceful , we listened to the ocean , had lunch poolside , and coffee on the porch every morning . The weather was warm , but gorgeous ,and honestly kept our bathing suits on all day until we went to dinner at night . A huge plus, we were able to do laundry , so we could pack light !! Right on the counter when we arrived was a huge stack of pamphlets with things to do , restaurants , codes for wifi .. Everything ! The front door had a numbered keyless entry , so when we went galavanting across the island , no worries of remembering the key ! We go on a girls trip every year , only one of us had been to the Caymans before, so what a wonderful surprise for the rest of us !!! It was home away from home , easy to stay at and for the four of us , we will now make this our annual girls trip ! The photos are accurate , add the sound of the ocean , gorgeous sunshine , and happy people .. You've got the whole picture ! I miss it , as I write this .. Can't wait to get back !!!!!

Great getaway despite a few annoyances
The villa was very nice for the money. The bed was confortable but the wicker furniture, which was fine for the rest of the house, was not so comfortable in the living/TV room. I was disappointed that the back yard and pool area which appears very private on the villa pictures and Google earth really isn't since another house (appears new) is right next to the pool without sufficient vegetation or fence to provide privacy. Lukily for us noone appeared to be staying at that house during our stay.
Tghe managementg company was a mixed bag: the pre-trip service and instructions was great. Once we got on the island service was not very good. The house itself had no instructions upon arrival so we had to dig for the wireless password. The big frustration came when I had a question on Friday at 2:30p and the "villa manager" who was my only direct contact could not be reached at the only phone number they gave me (disconnected or something). After finding the main office number online and leaving several messages I finally reached someone who couldn't answer my question, gave me another number and even suggested I drive to my villa manager's office to track her down. I called the other number, left her a message and never heard from anyone the rest of my stay. We had a great, relaxing time despite some of these issues.
