About this property

The peace and tranquility of this cottage Works Wonders on the soul....

SEPTEMBER AND OCTOBER OF 2025 IS NOW ON SALE!
Nightly rates have been lowered by more than 15% for all remaining dates in September AND October!! Don't let the threat of tropical storm season keep you at bay, The weather is going to be great!! And if not, our refund policy has you covered!!

Works Wonders is an aptly named beach front cottage that does just that to our soul every time that we stay. The home was built by Bob Soto (the father of modern scuba diving in the Caribbean) and was the family home for years. It was built to last and was a survivor of Ivan in 2004 when many were not left standing. Although restored to it’s previous glory over the years, we spent the first potion of our ownership adding a few amenities and modern touches during our stays. We hope that you enjoy your visit and feel free to contact us with feedback.
We refer to the home as a “cottage” because it has that seriously Caribbean island vibe. The secluded location with what feels like a totally private beach (although all beaches on Cayman are considered public), but at 3100 square feet, it comfortably sleeps 10 with very quiet and private quarters. The exposed wooden beam construction along with the traditional Caribbean color scheme really sets the tone for a relaxed week away from your normal routine. You may end up never leaving the peaceful and tranquil view from the home of the sound....
But, when you choose to venture out, you will not have to go very far to enjoy all the Grand Cayman has to offer. The central location of Works Wonders provides ready access to Rum Point, where the mudslides are a must; to Georgetown and Camana Bay districts, where you will find wonderful experiences for both shopping and dining (Cayman is know as the culinary capital of the Caribbean); and of course scuba and snorkeling that rivals the best in the world. And speaking of the best, 7 Mile Beach, annually voted one of the top 3 beaches in the world is just a 30 minute drive way.
The list goes on and on. From salt caves to the blue iguana preserve to swimming with the turtles at Spotts Beach, Cayman has something for everyone. But then again, with some of the best bone fishing in the world just outside our back door in Frank’s Sound, and the newly constructed pool right on the beach, Works Wonders just may keep you occupied right there at home.

What a fantastic home! Well furnished and ready for guests. We had 8 adults that spent a week on the East Side and just loved our week. Sunrises and sunsets were amazing from the patio and the pool. The house is right on the beach and there were a variety of water toys available to help enjoy the water. The management company was responsive and informative. We would highly recommend this property!

The place was great - well stocked with everything we needed. The company handling logistics was really responsive and accommodating. The water itself wasn't super great for kids going into the water from the house - it was kind of mucky but a little ways down would be a good entry point and it's within walking distance of a public beach. We used the kayaks and paddle boards provided and it was great! I even saw a sea turtle! The pool was great too!

We stayed at Works Wonders for our annual girls’ trip and it was the perfect home for us. It was clean, comfortable, and right on the beach. The patio was the perfect spot for morning coffee and the pool refreshing. There’s even an outside shower to rinse the sand off. It was a home, not a house, with thoughtful touches like beach chairs, floaties, bug spray, chip clips; whatever we needed was available. The rental agency made everything super easy. Would definitely stay there again.
Beautiful sunsets from the patio

About the host

Hosted by Chris and Lori

Host profile image

Why they chose this property

After years visiting the Caribbean Islands and West Indies, and with many trips to Grand Cayman under our belts, we decided that Cayman was definitely the place to be. Safe, clean, fearless drinking water, the best food, the friendliest people (without the' in our face' store proprietors), and soooo blue waters and pristine beaches. We looked at many chrome and glass monuments before deciding on this home in the secluded Franks Sound. If you appreciate the Caribbean vibe like we do, this place will work wonders on whatever ails you....

What makes this property unique

This is the original home of Bob and Suzy Soto, and certainly a 'one of a kind' Cayman cottage. These Caymanian legends helped develop Grand Cayman into the gem that it has become, having been incredible entrepreneurs and having founded modern scuba diving. All who follow owe them their gratitude...
