***Beach Notes***
All beaches in Grand Cayman are technically public since the Queen owns up to the high watermark. Be advised that the beach or water entry behind your property may vary slightly from the images displayed due to shifting tides and weather patterns. The next-door beach is also always available for your use.

The water behind Wight Away is on a canal providing easy launching of kayaks and paddleboards, as well as dockside service for charters. The backyard beach does not extend into the water. For a true beachfront experience, guests can walk 5 minutes to the Rum Point Club. This public beach spot features a white sandy beach with complimentary beach service, a restaurant with an open-air bar, plus watersport rentals, public changing rooms, and beach volleyball. Guests will find excellent snorkeling under the dock and along the coral heads to the right of the dock.

***Ocean Debris & Sargassum Seaweed***
Beaches in Grand Cayman may also experience floating ocean debris and sargassum weed seasonally. The water behind Wight Away is rarely ever affected by Sargassum, as it is protected.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Wight Away is a great property and very well stocked. If you are not worried about going to 7 mile beach, the location is fantastic. Very relaxed with enough amenities/activities to do in the Rum Point/North Shore area without the traffic and hassle of 7 mile beach. Great stay for our family vacation. We would use this property again for future Cayman trips.

The property is beautiful, clean, and spacious. Great for a family vacation. The property had nearly anything you may possibly need including extra towels, sunscreen, bug spray, etc. My only issue was communication with the property manager. During our stay, our WiFi went out on our second day there. The property manager ignored me the first time I reached out although she read my message, and it wasn’t until I expressed my frustration with her lack of response that she replied. Even when she replied all she told us was that someone from the cable company would come check it out, however that never happened. We had more days of no WiFi than we did with WiFi during our stay. This was unfortunate because I was unable to work from home and the children weren’t able to utilize their iPads during down time in the house. Additionally, when we inquired about the temperature of the water and if it was possible to increase how warm the water could get, the property manager said someone would come and check it out, and again, no one ever came.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had an amazing week in Grand Cayman at this Wight Away rental near Rum Point. The house was perfect and well equipped. We have been to the island before and love this location as it feels like such a quiet and well kept secret. Rum point was under construction while we were there (I think it will be ready in April of this year) but we were still able to enjoy Rum Point beach (one of my favorite places in the world). The only thing I would say is that Grand Cayman has tiny mosquitoes when the wind dies down (like in the early morning and evening) but we are used to this as we are from the north:) but when the breeze is blowing or it is mid day this is not a problem. We love starfish point and early morning walks in the neighbourhood, and bioluminescence bay is right across the street! This area is a little out of the way so a car rental is necessary but it is away from most of the crowds and we love that! We recommend Kaibo restaurant (the fish curry is awesome) and also found out that the Italian kitchen delivers! I would highly recommend this rental and I wish we could have stayed longer... I would rent this place again in a heart beat!

Property was newer and well maintained. While some rentals can feel a little tired, this one was excellent. Clean, bright, and well furnished. Kitchen was well appointed. Location was excellent and we had a great stay. The choices made when building the home were smart and very functional. Well done. Highly recommend.

Perfect for family vacation. Property very nice. Only drawback is distance to attractions and our favorite restaurants on 7 mile beach.
