***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.

Wonderful setup on the bay. Perfect peaceful place to relax. Located in a great spot within walking distance of Rum Point for pickup by Red Sail excursions to Sting Ray City. Also close to Starfish Point and Kaibo. We loved lounging by the pool and the beautiful view.

Eh...
Eh...
I rented the property for a group of four for four days. Checking in was easy and convenient. The property is accurately described on VRBO, but the glaring issue was just how unclean the property was. The property was tidy and organized, just not clean. For example, under the ottoman in the living room and in the corners of all the bathrooms was a layer of thick dust mixed with hair from previous renters. Also, the air conditioning unit for one side of the house was not working at all. It took a couple of hours to reach the property manager, Judy, about the A/C. Her phone would ring and ring, but there was no way to leave a message. So, I kept calling. She eventually answered her phone and addressed the issue the next day. The room was hot all night but the ceiling fan helped. It was repaired the next day and worked fine after that. One annoying issue was that the tv remote we found next to the tv did not work. I opened it up to find that it did not have batteries in it. But then an hour or so later we found a newer remote (in the kitchen) that did have batteries and worked perfectly well. So, why would they keep an old broken tv remote out in the living room where guests would confuse it for a working one? Its not a bad place if you don't mind a little dirt but management and housekeeping here are much less impressive than I've seen at other VRBOs I've rented.

Great family home in Rum Point

We really enjoyed Just for Fun. The bay and kayaks were wonderful and the pool was great for cooling off after a day of excursions or fun at the beach. The home had just what we needed and was very comfortable for the five of us. The property manager was a little difficult to reach but beyond that, it was a wonderful experience.

Villa was clean with more than ample outdoor space in a very nice area. There is quite a bit of construction in the area so expect some noise for the next several months. For us, it was not a huge factor but very noticeable. This home had the best stocked kitchen of any rental we have every used. Our property manager Jody was very pleasant, attentive, and helpful on the 2 occasions we had to call her. I feel she works very hard at her job and would do her best to address any issues within her power. The home was clean and was nicely decorated. Someone has tried to attend to the details. I would encourage the owner to update a couple of the kayaks. One has no seat that we could find, so I strapped the life jackets together and stacked them to make it work. A 2 person kayak would likely do the trick. The small kayak is for a child and is hard to paddle even for a small teenager. The bioluminescent bay is the real deal. One of the best things we have ever done. Rum point is not quite, but basically across the street. You will have to go there for the beach. There is no beach behind the house. If you are thinking there is a beach in the area like seven mile beach there isn't. If thats what you want you will need to stay on that side of the island. All of the beaches in this area that we found were very grassy. Starfish point and kayaking around the area were fun. There are no grocery stores in the area so stock up on your way. There are 3 restaurants in the area that we all enjoyed. We would definitely go back.

We were very excited about this house based on the photos. When we arrived, we were underwhelmed. It is smaller than we imagined and more dated than the pictures suggest. The most glaring example of this is the couch, which is just kind of old and run down. But there are broken tiles , some of the screens in the porch area were ripped and the washer/dryer was surprisingly loud. There are enough basic supplies to do your cooking if that is what you want to do, but there is virtually nothing in the way of basic food items, so you will need to purchase those and they are very expensive on the island and you have to drive pretty far to get to a real grocery store. The pool is nice, but the spa part of it does nothing extra. It doesnt get warm, it doesnt have jets, and I couldnt even find a way to turn on a light for it. It is nice looking out on the bay, but honestly, if you are going to Grand Cayman, I would suggest a house on the ocean. The beaches on the island are incredible and the bay is just not something you would want to swim in. We hoped it might be at least okay for kids to play in, but that isnt possible as the water comes up to a barrier wall. The property manager did take care of some things for us (the screens were fixed and when we discovered only 4 beach towels, despite having more guests than that, they did drop off more) but completely ignored another request. I went to use the grill and within 5 minutes, the propane was empty. I called two people on my contact list, emailed two people, and never even got a response. Nobody answered the phone, nobody replied to my email, nobody asked if it was taken care of. Nobody lifted a finger. And this exemplifies my overall problem with the house; instead of being proactive with the property and making sure it is in good shape and ready for your arrival, they are reactive and will only address what you bring up. You are paying too much for that kind of service. I definitely would NOT stay in this house again and I dont think I would book with Grand Cayman Villas again, either. My advice: find something on the beach, ask a lot of questions about the house, and pay close attention to the reviews left by others.
