Works Wonders is an aptly named beach front cottage that does just that to our soul every time that we stay. The home was built by Bob Soto (the father of modern scuba diving in the Caribbean) and was the family home for years. It was built to last and was a survivor of Ivan in 2004 when many were not left standing. Although restored to it’s previous glory over the years, we spent the first potion of our ownership adding a few amenities and modern touches during our stays. We hope that you enjoy your visit and feel free to contact us with feedback.
We refer to the home as a “cottage” because it has that seriously Caribbean island vibe. The secluded location with what feels like a totally private beach (although all beaches on Cayman are considered public), but at 3100 square feet, it comfortably sleeps 10 with very quiet and private quarters. The exposed wooden beam construction along with the traditional Caribbean color scheme really sets the tone for a relaxed week away from your normal routine. You may end up never leaving the peaceful and tranquil view from the home of the sound....
But, when you choose to venture out, you will not have to go very far to enjoy all the Grand Cayman has to offer. The central location of Works Wonders provides ready access to Rum Point, where the mudslides are a must; to Georgetown and Camana Bay districts, where you will find wonderful experiences for both shopping and dining (Cayman is know as the culinary capital of the Caribbean); and of course scuba and snorkeling that rivals the best in the world. And speaking of the best, 7 Mile Beach, annually voted one of the top 3 beaches in the world is just a 30 minute drive way.
The list goes on and on. From salt caves to the blue iguana preserve to swimming with the turtles at Spotts Beach, Cayman has something for everyone. But then again, with some of the best bone fishing in the world just outside our back door in Frank’s Sound, and the newly constructed pool right on the beach, Works Wonders just may keep you occupied right there at home.

This property is away from the busy touristy part of the island. It is beautiful. The house is perfect for big groups. We had an extended family vacation. The one thing that would make this property perfect, which I know the owners can’t do anything about, is entry to the “beach/ocean” right in front of the house. The owners provide an excellent solution with the paddle boards and kayaks to make it out to a part that you don’t sink when you stand up though. We found plenty of other beaches close by that did allow that beach entry to the water. Favorite one just a few miles down the road was colliers beach. Over close to the over crowded seven mile beach was cemetery beach that was perfect and not at all crowded. The customer service / hospitality we received from the owners and the rental management team was truly the best I’ve ever experienced. This was a perfect vacation.

The house was beautiful, and everything was in working order. The property managers were very responsive. The only problem was that they never emailed me the lock box code and Wi-Fi password before check in. That has never happened to me before, so I didn't realize until we were minutes away from the house. Thankfully, they responded quickly because we had a car full of perishable groceries! The beds were comfortable, and the pool was clean. The kayaks and paddleboards were great! There were some jellyfish in the water so make sure you're careful if you're swimming or wading through. They even left shampoo, conditioner, soap, tp, life jackets, sand toys, and extra blankets. This house was just great!

We had an amazing stay in this beautiful home. It had plenty of space, all the comforts of home, and was our own private, peaceful, and relaxing getaway. The A/C was great, beds were comfortable, and the home was very clean! Our family enjoyed being outside in the pool, paddleboarding, kayaking, and watching all the sweet roosters run around. We had a wonderful time!

This property was so peaceful, away from the traffic of Georgetown and central to almost everything. Everyone in my family had their own bedroom and space. The well equipped kitchen allowed us to cook most of our meals in. And of course the kids loved the pool! The kayaks and paddle boards were used a lot since the beach was not good for wading, but sitting on the deck with my family listening to the waves did wonders for my soul.

The property was a a well-maintained and cozy home that offers a comfortable living space for vacationers. It was a quiet and peaceful retreat, where we could focus on relaxation and self-care while the children also had plenty to keep themselves happy between the pool, games, puzzles , kayak, paddle board and tv. Overall, the rental property appeared to be a charming and welcoming space that would be suitable for individuals looking for a comfortable and relaxing place to stay.

Our group of 3 couples had plenty of space to spread out and enjoy the amenities available at the house. 3 of the 4 bedrooms have ocean views, and 2 of the 4 bedrooms have attached bathrooms with the other 2 bedrooms sharing a bathroom. The kitchen, dining area, and living room were plenty big and well appointed for meals in and family game nights. The pool and deck area outside offered both sun and shade to enjoy the direct ocean access just steps from the deck - including 2 kayaks and 2 standup paddleboards. The internet/wifi was fast enough for video calls and steaming. The property manager was very responsive to questions, made great recommendations, and even helped facilitate surprise birthday decorations! The location is away from the busier West End, about a 35 minute drive from the airport, which made for peaceful, quiet surrounding at the house. Our group had a great time and would recommend this rental!

This property was beautiful, right on the beach and somewhat secluded. We loved the kayaks, paddle boards and snorkeling equipment. They really enhanced our enjoyment. House was very clean and nice. Loved the balconies, enclosed porch, patio chaise lounges and pool. Location to many activities was about 30 minutes but we had rental cars and was worth the drive and seclusion. Several restaurants were nearby.

Wonderful for three couples traveling together. The pool was used daily and was greatly appreciated because there is no beach entry worthy of swimming. Once you wade out through the mud the water at the reef is incredibly clear. We took the kayaks out daily and tried out stand up paddleboards. The kitchen was equipped nicely. Short drive to rum point. Only thing that would improve is a dock to bypass the muck. Loved the visiting geckos and chickens
