About this house rental

***Property Overview***
Cayman Sands is an oceanfront villa in Old Man Bay along the north coast. This popular villa is one of only 2-3 homes that offer shore scuba diving off the famous Cayman Wall. With an open, one-story design, Cayman Sands offers guests an intimate experience across 4,000 sq ft. of living space, plus a one-bedroom guest cottage.

The main house features 4 bedroom suites (king, queen, 2 twin beds, and 4 bunk beds) with ensuite baths that have been completely re-tiled and renovated. For parties with more than 4 adult guests, the 2 twin beds can be converted to a king upon request. Both oceanfront suites have french doors that open up onto the screened pool atrium and sun deck. Cayman Sands was thoughtfully designed to be opened up on cool winter nights when A/C isn't necessary.

The oceanfront freshwater pool is protected by a screened atrium keeping local wildlife and insects at bay from ruining your stay. Optional pool heat is available in the winter months for an additional surcharge. The pool atrium comes furnished with a sectional sofa and dining table perfect for evening cocktails or outdoor dining.

The view of the large sandy beach is framed by the two wings of the house, an oceanfront gazebo, and two hammocks ideal for long afternoons relaxing with a book or simply enjoying the views.

An oceanfront vaulted great room floods the villa with natural light and stunning views through 30 feet of sliding glass doors. A recently upgraded kitchen offers all the modern appliances you would expect, as well as dishware, cookware, and cutlery. The living area is furnished with a wall-mounted flat-screen TV, plush couches, and a sleeper sofa for small children only.

***Villa Cleaning & Sanitation***

***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.

Our family of 13 ranging in age from almost 2 - 74 thoroughly enjoyed our stay. This was our first visit to Grand Cayman. Unfortunately, the weather was lousy for most of our week…cloudy and rainy…so the pool came in handy. The skies were cloudy, but we enjoyed walking the beach and collecting conch shells, and we ended days in the pool. Tanya at check in was fantastic. She gave us restaurant recommendations which were excellent. Be sure to try Tim’s, the Falls Steakhouse, Ave on 7 mile beach, and Macabucu Tiki Bar. We did the Dolphin Discovery, Cayman Crystal Caves, swam with turtles at the Turtle Center, did the Bioluminescent Bay tour out of Rum Point, and did the Stingray City with Captain Marvin’s. All were amazing. All in all this was a wonderful Christmas/New Year’s vacation with our family. Highly recommend came in sands. The property is beautiful. My daughter, son-in-law, and their baby really enjoyed having the guesthouse which gave them their own private space. 5 stars!! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Almost heaven

The property and house are beautiful and very well equipped. I do wish I had known ahead that one cannot swim in the ocean because of the reef as that was part of the attraction. We were also not prepared for the washed up debris on the beach though I realize it is not totally in your control. It is really shocking ! The property manager was never seen and did not respond to any requests. Had to go above her for help. I wanted some contact from her. All in all we really enjoyed our stay. The house was perfect for our occasion.

Summer Vacation - 2 families

Overall it's a great property and given the size of the Cayman's there really is no inconvenient place to be. We were close to the management office for use of gym and booking excursions. We were also convenient to restaurants and the Kaibo Yacht club for diving and snorkeling. The drive across the island to the West side for activities was only 45 minutes so that wasn't bad either. Property was very clean and nice and very comfortable. The AC on one side of the house stopped working our second day, but the owner noticed before the management company and had it fixed the next day. We were very happy with the response. We are already looking into the possibility of returning to this very same location.

Amazing House!!!
Amazing House!!!
Overall, this house was wonderful. If was very spacious and had very nice decor. The house was fully equipped with everything you need. Everything was clean and up to date. Beach is beautiful but a bit rocky getting into the water. Water shoes are a must. We we arrived, one of the A/C units was not working properly and after I called they had someone come out within an hours. These things are going to happen when you are in a house and I was very pleased with their responsiveness. We would definitely stay here again. Wonderful house and very responsive property manager.

We've stayed in several places in the Carribean and this home was clearly the best all around home we've stayed in. The rocky shore entry was a little difficult, but not much you can do about that. The sandy back yard and beach were super. At mid day there's no shade in the pool area. An umbrella would be a nice addition. The home layout, room size, ammenities, and all were perfect for our family which consisted of 7 adults, 2 teenagers, and a 6 1/2 year old. Would highly recommend the Cayman Sands.
