About this house rental
***Property Overview***
Welcome to Great Bluff Estates, a gated oceanfront villa set into the bluffs of Grand Cayman�s Northside.
This recently renovated 5-6 bedroom home offers a large family all they could want from excellent snorkeling steps off the backyard to a stunning elevated sundeck and private freshwater pool.
The curb appeal of Great Bluff Estates includes a cobalt-blue tiled roof, bright white stucco exterior, and a terra cotta circular driveway that can easily accommodate multiple rental vehicles.
The home offers multiple oceanfront decks and balconies, two tiers of terraced artificial grass near the shoreline, two furnished cabanas, and a new concrete path to the ocean. The beach is naturally pebbly, so the owner maintains a raked sandy area for water access.
Guests can relax in ultimate privacy as the owner owns the undeveloped lot next door to the east. The snorkeling here is amazingly diverse due to there being very few homes in the area. We tend to see spotted eagle rays, octopus, lobster, eels, and many schools of fish inhabiting the coral heads. There is also rarely any current in the waters here.

***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.

Amazing property
This property was truly amazing to stay at. We had a group of 8 people with us and the accommodations were amazing. If you're looking for a nice secluded spot in Grand Cayman this is the place to stay. There were plenty of beach towels for our use and the fact that they had a wine fridge helped a lot so we didn't need to make multiple trips to the liquor store. The house was beautifully decorated too which really added to the asthetics of the location. Snorkeling was great from the property too, just a hundred yards from shore are some nice reefs with lots of coral and fish. A lot of beautiful outdoor space to lounge at too. Would definitely recommend for anyone wanting peace and quiet on the island and traveling with a large group. Only downside is that it's a bit aways from Gerogetown but there are definitely some good restaurants within 20 minutes from the house. 100% would stay here again.

Paradise Vacation
We have vacationed at locations in and around the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean and the Great Bluff Estates was truly a luxury villa as it shows in the listing.
We did unfortunately have an incident of a burglary while we were staying at the home. We unfortunately forgot to lock one of the doors which provided the opportunity for thieves to enter the home. The management company was very responsive and even provided us a refund for the one day that was taken up filling out police reports, etc.
Overall, the beauty of the location and home, plus the amenities that come with the home made it a memorable vacation.
Please make sure you always check that the doors are locked which is noted in the welcome pack you receive when you check-in.
