*** GETTING AROUND ***
A rental car is highly recommended. Taxi cabs are unreliable and expensive outside of town and Seven Mile Beach. Plus, there is no Uber or Lyft on the island. For rental cars, we recommend Budget Cayman (20% off promo code provided after booking!), Marshalls, or Hertz.

*** VILLA CLEANING ***
All villas are cleaned and sanitized before 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 ***
Beaches in Grand Cayman may also experience floating ocean debris and sargassum weed seasonally. Sargassum is a generally harmless floating seaweed that has increased over the summer months. Our owners make efforts to remove heavy sargassum and will have the beach raked before your arrival.

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

Our stay at Thatch Hill was enjoyable. We were forwarned about the construction next door, and other than the banging, it was interesting to watch the progress. The crew there was very respectful, so no worries. Interior of house will need some attention or redecoration, but nothing that detracted from a beautiful location. Love the Caymans!

We really enjoyed this small, lovely home on the water during our stay in Cayman. The snorkeling right in front of the house is fabulous, the pool is clean and well maintained, and the kitchen well equipped. We’d recommend this as a rental to a family.

Beautiful property!
Beautiful property!
Our family had a great time staying at this beautiful property! Each day, we snorkeled right outside the house and enjoyed all of the marine life! We saw eels, rays, many fish and on the last day we snorkeled over closer to Rum Point and saw a six foot nurse shark! We have traveled many places and this, by far, was the safest and most fun snorkeling. The house was great and had everything we needed to enjoy our stay! We mainly hung out at the house enjoying the pool and snorkeling but also took a charter out to stingray city, visited starfish point and the botanical gardens. Hurley’s was the best store for purchasing groceries. Highly recommend!

Nice view. Lot of sea weed
Nice view. Lot of sea weed
A nice home and an excellent beach. Fantastic view. Our only downside was the week we were there the water was pretty rough and had a lot of sea weed. Though it appeared to be calming down and clearing up the day we left. Maybe we were there on an off week, but all of rum point and the east coast had a lot of sea weed right off the beach when we were there.

We finally got to return to Cayman after a three year absence and couldn’t have been luckier than to have found Thatch Hill. It is the perfect size for a small family and in an ideal location. We loved being able to swim in the pool and see and hear the ocean at the same time, the snorkeling was fabulous as usual, and everything was clean and modern. We’re already talking about booking our trip next year. Highly recommend!!

We all truly enjoyed our time here on Grand Cayman and in Thatch Hill. Our ability to truly get away and enjoy the natural elements surrounding the house allowed us all to relax and take in the sights and sounds. It was such a great experience being able to head into Georgetown or the West End, visit the shops and restaurants, and then return to a private retreat. The amenities provided at the home were wonderful opportunities to create lasting memories whether bounding along the pool or playing games around the dinner table. Thatch Hill’s proximity to Rum Point was a highlight because it allowed us to frequent local places and enjoy all that the island has to offer.
