About this house rental
==> PROPERTY DESCRIPTION Along the beachfront in Cayman Kai is where you will find a newly-renovated and refurnished villa, aptly named Fantasea.
This spacious 2-bedroom main villa with a detached 1-bedroom guest cottage has undergone a complete makeover, both inside and out. Plus, the villa's recently upgraded fiber internet connection provides reliable speeds for work-from-home professionals, as well as reliable streaming options.
The renovation included 100% new tile, windows, furniture, kitchen, baths, and high-grade stainless appliances. With multiple large sliding glass doors to the screened veranda and pool deck, guests are never far from views of the water.
A new freshwater pool and tiled deck are elevated for privacy and to take advantage of the sun setting directly over Cayman Kai Cove. Ample deck furniture, an outdoor shower, screened veranda, and an outdoor kitchen, complete with a propane grill and Green Egg grill, make for easy-island living.
The spacious open-concept great room links the living area, dining area, and kitchen with breakfast counter seating and a built-in table with banquette seats.
Sliding glass doors provide seamless indoor/outdoor living allowing you to open the great room to the outdoors. Quality furnishing and decor have been used throughout the property for an elegant and contemporary feel.
***Sleeping Arrangements***
(Sleeps 8 Guests total; 6 Adults max)
-- North Suite - king bed, water views, cable television, walk-out access to the screened veranda, ensuite with double vanity, shower, and bathtub.

Property was a dream come true family vacation site! Everything was just as shown and staff went out of their way to assist with everything we asked for. Planning to return !!

This home lives up to the billing! Pictures are accurate and the setting is perfect. Our first time in CI and I wouldn’t do anything differently. This house sits on Bio Bay in Rum Point and is the absolute perfect setting. Get ready for the sun to set off your patio directly in front of you. Great area if you are looking to relax without a lot of congestion around. Property manager was excellent. Book it!

This property was everything we hoped it would be for our family of 5 (2 teenagers, one 7 year old). We took the kayaks and paddle boards out on the cove every day, lounged in the pool, and enjoyed one of the most spectacular views in the entire Caribbean. Starfish Point and Rum Point are reachable by kayak or short car ride, and you can book excursions from Rum Point easily. The rental management company was prompt, friendly, and efficient -- we took full advantage of the free snorkel gear, bluetooth speakers, and beverage cooler. They also give you a discount card to be used at several local vendors.
If you're not familiar with the Cayman Kai section of Grand Cayman, it is a quiet, laid-back area of expensive vacation homes and spectacular scenery. It's a bit of a drive from the main town, and the nearest full-service shopping center is a good 30 minutes away. But if you want to avoid the cruise ship crowds and action of Seven Mile Beach, you can't beat this area.
The worst part about staying here was having to leave!
5.0
The house is the perfect island getaway. It’s on the East end of the island away from the crowded cruise ship area. We spent lots of time on the deck & screen porch watching the water. You can actually see the boats gather at Sting ray city from the porch. There are several great restaurants at that end too. But the house has everything you need to cook at home too. It took us a while to get a recommendation but a local finally told us we could purchase fresh fish & lobster tails from Over the edge restaurant. We ate at that restaurant a couple of times too. Excellent food & service.
Starfish point right around the corner. We took the 3 person kayak out for a spin around the cove. There are quite a few jellyfish that are photo synthesizing in the water that you have to be careful of if you decide to snorkel there. But Rum point offers another good alternative to snorkel that’s very close to the house.
The rental agency recommended downloading the app to use when you get there. It’s got great info and directions to the house. I highly recommend taking screen shots of the directions to the house, as the app did not work for us unless we were on Wi-Fi. Luckily we remember enough and followed the signs and maps we got from the rental car place to get us there. Their office was still under construction so we didn’t get to utilize that upon arrival.
We would highly recommend this house and will be back again.

This was a much needed vacation for myself, my wife, son and daughter in law! And, it was indeed what we were looking for. The home was beautiful, tastefully decorated, clean and well appointed. The pool, cove, water and view surpassed any previous vacation venue! We will definitely be back!!

We had 2 couples in our group staying for 8 days. The house was better than we expected. We had plenty of room, the furniture was comfortable, the temperature inside the house was cool, everything was in perfect working order and we had everything we needed in the house. It was also clean and there were no bugs. The view was amazing and the water lights up at night if you get in it and splash around as the house is right on the bio bay but beware of the sea lice (tiny jellyfish). They seemed to be mainly around the dock. We had Rosie come and cook for us at the house which was delicious (there is a magnet on the fridge with her number). The kitchen knives could have been sharper but we only used them on occasion.
We enjoyed going to Rum Point, and to Kaibo. Both restaurants are great. They auto-grat everywhere so be aware. We also went over to Tukka's on the East side which was a great restaurant and there seemed to be more breeze on that side.
We did the sting ray city tour from Rum Point, Starfish Point which is right down the road and the Crystal Caves but make sure you wear bug spray and take some water. It was very hot and humid in the caves.

We absolutely loved the home - Fantasea! We rent many homes all over as we travel on vacation with our family or just the 2 of us. Fantasea was without a doubt the cleanest and one of the best locations we've experienced. And Judy and the cleaning women were great. Judy was great stopping by to introduce herself and was extremely responsive anytime we had questions or needed anything.
In so many homes, staples like toilet paper, paper towels, dishwashing soap, laundry and cleaning products are not provided. It was wonderful having those items provided in Fantasea. And providing the water cooler was the absolute best. The bath and kitchen towels, pool towels and all linens were of great quality. Loved floating in the pool in the afternoon sipping on cocktails. The pool is small but served its purpose for the 2 of us. We loved making the majority of our meals at home there and then sitting at the table in the screened porch area to enjoy our meals and the beautiful views. The owners of this home really care and stay on top of maintaining this home down to spraying for bugs!
Being close to Rum Point was another bonus. We loved going there to snorkel, watch the sunsets and enjoying drinks and a lunch or two at the beach restaurant - loved the jerk chicken meal with the beans & rice, corn on the cob and cole slaw. Kaibou was nice to walk to in the mornings to grab an espresso. And seeing starfish at Starfish Point early in the mornings was fun.
Although the area is about 50 - 55 minutes from the airport, it is worth it. The area is so peaceful and away from all the hustle and bustle. Always felt safe especially seeing the local police patrolling. Nothing more peaceful and relaxing than looking out to see all the boats far off in the distance at Stringray Island and beyond that the city of Georgetown.
Locals were very helpful with places to shop for not only quality but good prices. One day when we went into Georgetown, we shopped at Cost You Less (like a Sam's Club but no membership required) and then stopped at Hurley's on the way back to the villa. Hurley's has the best and freshest produce. Fresh baked breads, sushi, freshmade pizzas and lots of fish options were our favorites. And BlackBeard Liquor store was right next store for great values.
We absolutely love Cayman and can't wait to go back again

We absolutely loved our stay at this unit in April 2015. The home is situated along the tranquil bay with a picture perfect view across the inlet, looking out to the sea. The home has the perfect layout and met all our possible needs. Less than a mile to Kaibo restaurant to the south and about a mile from Rum Point to the north. The pool, private beach and screened in porch with the killer view were the highlights to the unit. I would also like to extend a special thanks to our property manager and unit owner - who were incredibly gracious and responsive to our every need and then some. This unit is the full package. I definitely recommend it to anyone looking to stay in the Rum Point area.
