We loved our week at the Villa. The villa was clean and comfortable and had absolutely everything you could need or want. The view from the lanai was incredible and we were literally steps from the sand. The villa is located at the north end of the island which was very convenient to restaurants and groceries yet was very quiet. We loved everything about it and can't wait to go back!

I had an incredible stay at this beachfront villa during my solo trip to Grand Cayman. The location was absolutely perfect—peaceful, private, and literally steps from the water. Waking up to ocean views each morning and ending my days with stunning sunsets made for a truly relaxing escape. The villa was clean, comfortable, well-equipped, and felt like a home away from home. I also loved being close to local restaurants, grocery stores, and the world-famous Seven Mile Beach while still enjoying a quieter, more authentic island experience. If you’re looking for a tranquil beachfront getaway with breathtaking views and easy access to everything Grand Cayman has to offer, I highly recommend this villa. Mary was very communicative.

We loved it at the Villa! The view is stunning and my wife said this place ruined our future stay views from here on out because it was so beautiful. Very clean and had all of the amenities. Mary has all of the appliances, utensils, bowls, cups, etc. Also had oil and spices for cooking and games under the big TV. Communication was great as well. Would stay again 100%.

We had an incredible stay at this property. Mary was very responsive to any questions we had, and the property was clean and well equipped. We thoroughly enjoyed being steps from the sand. There are loungers available on the beach and there are umbrellas poolside (which my pale skin appreciated). The entire property was very well maintained and was so quiet. The king size bed is very comfortable and the AC worked great. I would have loved a lounger or two on the deck, where I spent hours reading and enjoying the ocean view, but other than that, this place is perfection. The restaurant right across the street is wonderful, and as long as you’ve rented a car, it’s so easy to get around and see the sights. When you want beachfront, but don’t want the busy, touristy 7 mile beach, this is your perfect spot. 10/10…Would absolutely stay here again.

Mary was a pleasure to work with! What an amazing host! The Villa was very clean, the bed was comfortable and the air conditioning worked great. The drive to find a beach and go to dinner was about 15 minutes each way. The weather was not ideal when we were there, but I’m sure it would be lovely to sit on the beach right by the Villa. We were unable to use the pool, but that was just a few steps away. The community was very, very quiet and private. Thank you, Mary for everything.

My wife and I had a lovely time at this one-bedroom apt away from all the hustle-bustle of 7-mile beach, etc. Clean, safe, amid a small (36 units), pretty complex with a big, beautiful beach. Great snorkeling. Good restaurants nearby. The host was very good at keeping in touch and quick to respond to any questions. We plan on returning!

This place was absolutely amazing! I cannot recommend it enough. We really liked the West Bay area and this place was quiet, calm and beautiful. Everything was well appointed. The bed and couch were incredibly comfortable! We didn’t cook at the house, but they had everything we would’ve needed plus great glassware! Nobody wants to drink wine out of a plastic cup IMHO, and they had many options. (Including plastic wine cups for the pool )We had breakfast next door at Nourish and it was incredible! We also hit Calypso Grill, Pappagallo, and Nova in the West Bay area. We don’t normally return to the same location, but we would definitely stay at this place again!

Beautiful condo on a quiet area of grand cayman

We had a lovely but brief visit and especially enjoyed the short walk to the beaches. the area is very quiet and away from the bustle of the cruise ship crowds. There are several fantastic restaurants nearby but renting a car was definitely worthwhile. The check in process was straight forward and. You the owner and property manager were quick to resolve a minor issue. We very much look forward to our next stay here!

Paradise Found!

This is one of the most beautiful places we have ever stayed in. The unit is well furnished and the kitchen is equipped with everything you need. Mary has thought of every detail and she was a pleasure to work with. We were able to watch every sunrise from the patio and did not miss a single sunset from the beach which is just steps away. The property is very well maintained and we found just what we were looking for, Peace and Quiet! What a blessing it was to spent a week here and we are looking forward to returning soon.Jim & Vikki - Palm Harbor, FL

Boutique yet away from the hustle

Great property. Updated appliances, decor and clean. Quite, relaxing beach with lounge chairs. We are frequent visitors to Cayman during the low season and I could not let myself pay for high season prices at a condo or resort on 7 mile beach. Instead of paying for 7 mile, we visited it and so happy with that choice!

Absolutely superb in every way. 10/10. The property is even nicer than the photos as much of the furniture has been further modernized. It was immaculate. The location is amazing — you are ten yards from a private beach. It is on the very quiet side of the island, a block from the national park and across the street from what is possibly the best restaurant on Grand Cayman. Cannot say enough positive things. We loved it.

Perfect Vacation Stay with Gorgeous View

Within steps from the beach with breathtaking views. Relaxing, peaceful and quiet pool, beach and pier. Condo is well equipped with kitchen well stocked and plenty of towels and linens. We were short one beach towels and Mary responded quickly with three more. Two sleeper sofas were available but my teenagers just slept on the sectionals. A must stay for anyone who want to get.away. Convenient by vehicles with a short ride to groceries and other stores.

Your own piece of private paradise

My wife and I stayed at this property extending a company Presidents Club that was held at the Ritz. We both concluded that we enjoyed this portion of the trip the most! The location is next to an area that can not be developed so has miles of a basically deserted beach. Everyone in the complex was super nice and the unit was well equipped, clean and very comfortable. The grounds are well maintained and beautiful and the views incredible. Thank you.

Wonderful Stay

Mary’s villa is absolutely great. We had a wonderful stay in this 1 br villa. The property is furnished with luxurious furniture and high end fixtures. We chose the second week of October to stay. The ambience was quiet and tranquil. The garden was well manicured and pleasant looking. The beach was literally steps away from the balcony where we had breakfast with sea view. I could not illustrate far more beyond description: 5 star. Thanks Mary for your hospitality. We will be back next year.
