Beautiful, quiet and relaxing. Took the family and everyone loved it. The drive to the house was the perfect distance away from the "tourist" side of the island which allowed us to enjoy the island without the hassle of thousands of people overcrowding an area. We had plenty of things planned out for the kids and they loved it. Highly recommend for your next vacation. The photos do no justice on how beautiful the home or the beach area is.

The online photos of this unit created high expectations but I know from past experience that such photos are not always an accurate portrayal of the property. Such was not the case this time. If anything, the photos did not capture the beauty of this unit. Nestled a mere 40 feet from the water, it had spectacular ocean views from each room. It is also located in the low density area of the island and accordingly not more than a dozen or so people walked across "our" beach the entire week. The three bedrooms were perfect for your family of 4 and allowed everyone any necessary private time. The washer/dryer will also affect how we pack for our next trip. No need to take more than a couple days clothing. Another plus was the presence of Kaibo Beach Bar and Restaurant directly across the street. The beach bar was perfect for lunch or an afternoon cocktail. It also offered a once weekly BBQ and band. The much more formal upstairs restaurant has the feel of a Havana nightspot. Food and service were top notch and the atmosphere was incredible. Do not book here if you are looking for the fast lane. If you want that, head to Seven Mile Beach. But if you are looking for a quiet, secluded get away - this is your place. You WILL need to rent a car if you are going to stay here. It is about 45 minutes from the airport.

This beach home was perfect for our family. This home has a comfortable and well appointed living area that includes two living areas, the dining area and kitchen. And, it has 3 spacious suites that allow family members complete privacy. For a Midwesterner, it was heavenly to step right out on the beach, just steps from the water. It is just across the street from casual and more upscale dining, and so many of the fun things to do on the island. When I visit the island again, I will want to stay here again.

This house is accurately described & shown in the VRBO photos, except for one thing: There is no way to describe the peace that comes over us when we are at Gardens of the Kai. The immaculate house sits 20 steps from the calm cove. Palm trees provide shade, the breeze blows gently, & it is heaven on earth! There are 16 homes on this cove & beach, & even though we didn't see the inside of the others, we feel that we got the best, for location & the way the house is set up. While we were on the island, we looked at other places we had considered & we would choose this home & Gardens of the Kai over any of them hands down. The owner was prompt & very helpful as we were preparing for our trip. The resort management staff was also prompt when we called them while on the island (a couple of issues that turned out to be us not understanding how things work--no problems w/the house). While on the beach, we saw hermit crabs, & early in the morning larger orange crabs. We walked a few steps into the water to see beautiful large, red starfish. You can snorkel right there & see them further out as well. The house is tastefully but casually decorated in Cayman/Island theme, & every chair & bed was very comfortable! The house was also very convenient to Kaibo Beach Club, where we had excellent lunch, & one evening, an elegant dinner upstairs. We also left from Kaibo for a private Stingray Sandbar & Snorkeling charter w/Ocean Frontiers (cheaper than some w/lots of people & no personal service), as well as a Bioluminescent Bay Tour with Sweet Spot (the next cove over from ours). It's a 2-minute drive to Rum Point for many more activities. Our favs: Cemetery Beach just west of 7-mile beach for snorkeling (while the guys were diving the wreck of the Kittiwake), Kaibo Beach Bar & Grill, Rankins Jerk Chicken on the west end of Boddentown, & Vivene's Kitchen on the East End. We don't usually return to the same place as we love to explore new areas, but now we have a dream to return with our grown children! If I could give this home 10 stars, I would!
