About this property

'Cayman Cottage by the Sea' - Economical Family Accommodations

Cayman Cottage by the Sea is a two storey, two bedroom Caribbean Cottage that is absolutely perfect for the budget-minded traveler.

Located on the south (Beach) side of the road in peaceful Colliers, on the East End of Grand Cayman, it is literally steps away from a pristine, white powdery sand beach. Nestled amongst lush, tropical plants, palm and coconut trees, there is a large terrace off the 2nd floor for reading or sun-tanning with a fabulous view of the OCEAN !

The cottage has recently undergone a renovation, with pictures coming soon.
We have removed the winding staircase to allow more space in the living room and kitchen. The staircase is now on the extension behind the kitchen. On the 2nd floor, we have put in a new 3-piece bathroom. Our kitchen was recently renovated and includes a dishwasher, ceramic cooktop, microwave / convection oven, Full-sized fridge, glass mosaic backsplash and granite countertops.

There are two bathrooms; one on each floor. The downstairs bathroom has the master bedroom and 3-piece ensuite. The upstairs bedroom is huge, and has, in addition to the new bathroom with shower, a queen sized bed, 3 single beds and a seating area.

The cottage is just 10 minutes from the new Shetty Hospital for Cardiac Care -- which is located in High Rock. This is the perfect, low cost option if you have family who are in the hospital and you want to stay close by.

The 'Cayman Cottage by the Sea' is fully equipped with all linens, dishes and cooking utensils. There is an indoor dinette and outdoor patio set. Cottage could hold a maximum of 7 guests. You could have the following configurations:

Up to 5 Adults (Maximum)
5 Adults and up to 2 children
4 Adults and up to 3 children
3 Adults and up to 4 children
2 Adults and up to 5 children

We are sorry, but due to licensing restrictions, we cannot accommodate 6 or 7 adults in the cottage --- but we do have other options at the same location we can offer you with more space.

We have 2 tandem Kayaks, a single Kayak, and 2 paddle boards as well as life vests that are for our guests to use at no charge. We recently had a swimming pool installed and have a whirlpool which is also a hot tub at night (between 6-9 p.m. only).

Everything you need for your vacation. At a price you can afford.

If the calendar shows it is available, then it IS available. If you have questions other than "is it available?" please email me. If you want to make a reservation, just use "Instant book" feature. We also have a discount with a local car rental agency.

NOTE: 1 week minimum during the Christmas season.

Relaxing Getaway

My wife and I stayed in the cottage which was comfortable and met all of our expectations. We enjoyed beautiful sunrises each morning from the deck with our coffee. We enjoyed sitting on the amazing beach, swimming in the new pool, snorkeling around the dock, and kayaking in the ocean. All in all a great stay.

Nice quiet. Private little cottage

The experience was very nice. From the booking, to checking in, and description of the house and area. Windy a lot of the trip for us, but the beach out front was one of the nicest walking up and down the neighborhood.

Lazy Days on the Beach

We really loved how we were right on the beach. Yes, our cottage was behind the main house, but it's still right there! It was great to just walk out to our own private beach and not worry about hauling all our stuff or crowds. We also really enjoyed using the provided kayaks and paddle boards. There was plenty of interesting sea life to see snorkeling around the dock. Cottage was cozy with plenty of space to sleep and hang out. It was a pleasant surprise that both bathrooms each had a shower! Deck and patio areas were lovely and picturesque. I recommend Tukka restaurant for future visitors! We had zero issues needing owner attention while we were there.Feedback to owner: Need new can opener (neither worked well). We would have liked a TV upstairs to watch from the lovely large couch. A broom or handheld vacuum handy for sweeping away tracked in sand would be nice.

Nice quiet area

Overall the location is as described. Quieter end of the island but still near a local market and restaurants. Unfortunately our experience was poor at the house due to work being done on the rental property. The workers were nice but a warning about it would have been appreciated. The owner was prompt on communication which was great but the noise and commotion for 4 out of the 7 days we were there was too much which is why the review is low. It’s hard to relax with drills and saws going and staging built on the edge of the pool with men dangling above you. Sandra did refund a small portion but I think the correct thing would have been to mark down rentals significantly and make it known what was going on. She did say the rain delayed the work into our rental period but that still should have been communicated before hand. I spoke with her the day before arrival and the construction wasn’t mentioned. The only other negative I would say is the house is more dated than the pictures show. There isn’t a tree growing through the deck anymore and the deck is white not wood like the cover photo. The right side of the house is loaded with junk from a remodel I’m guessing but it’s a mess. Overall location, communication, price, island are great. But I’m hesitant to recommend this property after our experience.

Cayman Cottage By the Sea

We celebrated our wedding anniverasary at the cottage. It was absolutely beautiful! Everyone we encountered was pleasant and friendly. Lorraine greeted us when we got there. The cottage was beautiful and clean. We enjoyed having our own private beach. The island was beautiful! There was plenty to see and do. The local food was delicious. Our favorites were One Stop, Big Tree BBQ, Vivine's Kitchen and The Italian Kitchen. We would definitely return.

Cozy Beach Cottage

This property was perfect for my family of 3. The location was on the East side of the island, away from the cruise ships and hustle and bustle of tourists. It was quiet and very comfortable. A car was necessary and the best way to explore the island. Mother nature threw us a bit of a curveball with the sargassum (seaweed), but we were able to swim at the private beach with no problem. Water shoes are recommended. Our best meals were at Tukka, Big Tree BBQ and Over The Edge. When we return, we will definitely stay at this property. It was great. Exactly as described and excellent communication with the property management.

Relaxing

If you want a quiet place to relax that is close to the beach—this is it. The water was great. There is an ocean view from the upper deck. We had some internet issues initially, but Lorraine was helpful. The upstairs bath has a tub with hand sprayer but no stand up shower. There is a small grocery store and liquor store a few minutes away. We loved Taco Cantina—go on a Thursday for 2 for one tacos and margs, but call ahead for a reservation. We used the kayaks but did not use the hot tub. The kitchen had adequate housewares. This is the quiet side of the island/-about 40 min from Georgetown, so plan accordingly.

Great Place to Stay!

The location is perfect-- the East End really allowed us get away from cruise ship crowds and tourists. Yet, when we wanted to go to 7-mile beach, it's just a 45 minute drive. It does have several great snorkeling sites, too. We would recommend renting a car to stay at the cottage, then you are free to explore the entire island. The cottage was perfect for our family of 4. It is super clean and it has a nice lay-out. Nadine, the owner, is wonderful-- we truly enjoyed talking with her and she was very helpful. She ensured that we had everything we needed-- she even got a pizza pan for us, so we could cook pizza for our kids! She is a fun person, and her energy spread to make our visit fun. The beach out front is gorgeous-- with very few people in the area. The old dock makes a wonderful habitat to many species of colorful fish, so we snorkeled here daily! We highly recommend the Cottage by the Sea. (Hi, Nadine! Thank you!)

A Great Vacation

My friend and I rented this cottage and absolutely loved it. We loved that it was on the east end of the island, away from the tourist area yet close to Rum Point, the most awesome beach ever. Gary and Nadine were very cool and we had many laughs with them. There was plenty do to nearby, went to Rum Point everyday which was about 15 minutes away. The cottage was great, so cute and comfortable. We were very happy we had chosen to stay here...it really made us happy...we had such an increduble time and will definitely come back...just a few notes, not negatives..the staircase upstairs is fairly narrow and probably not good for "large adults"...the beach right out front of the place is beautiful, but not good for swimming as it's rocky and weedy..but like I said Rum Point is 15 minute drive...Over the edge is a great place to eat (on the way ro Rum Point)..the island is very easy to get around and driving on the left was no problem....this is a beautiful island and this cottage was a fabulous place to stay....so loved it.....the weather at the beginning of April was spectacular...

Paradise Found

What a wonderful cottage by the sea we had the pleasure of staying in for nine days. The communication ahead of our visit was outstanding, getting questions answered, information about things to see and do on the island and overall, very friendly and welcoming correspondence. The cottage was perfect for us and our granddaughter, who occupied the upstairs room. The kitchen provided us the ability to cook meals when we wanted to but were well informed as to local restaurants. The cottage has great AC, which we used at night, the Internet worked well, and the beds and furniture were comfortable. The property has lots of blooming flowers and coconut palms with lovely white sand. Snorkeling was fabulous right in front of the cottage and house. There were hundreds of fish just a stroll into the sea. It is an amazing place take in the sunrise each day while sipping coffee barefoot on the beach. Lorraine was spectacular! She is such a lovely person, and it was a delight to see her during the week. You cannot go wrong with booking this cottage!

Magical

My stay at this cottage was everything I had hoped for and more. I thought I had reservations at a 7 mile resort for a conference I was attending only to find out an hour before leaving for the airport that they had been erroneously canceled. One of the best things to happen to me! I emailed Sandra after seeing the cottage was available. She called me and helped work everything out, sent directions, things to do, places to eat all before I had to leave. I loved getting away from seven mile beach each day as I drove back to the cottage and watched the scenery morph from kfc/shops/and resorts to a different pace and natural beauty. I sat on the beach each evening to see the stars and snorkeled the dock each chance I could (saw ~20 species of fish). I loved how cozy the cottage was, the fully-stocked kitchen, the upstairs balcony, and getting to know Nadine. She helped with everything (I had a hard time locking the door) and is simply a really interesting, cool person. Amazing experience...already convincing my husband to return with me.

Eastside Gem

This two-storeyj cottage is on the peaceful and quiet East End of Grand Cayman. if you want hustle and bustle, night life, noise and a zillion people, don't stay here -- book yourself a room at one of the towering resorts lining Seven Mile Beach, and don't say I didn't warn you. If you want to relax, connect deeply with the island, the beautiful aquamarine, warm water, the tropical fish, stingrays (they won't hurt you) and the coral, and if you want to hang out on a lovely private beach, with tropical fish to see in the water RIGHT THERE, then this is the place for you. The cottage is not technically ocean-front, but it has a deck attached to the second floor, where you can easily see the ocean and where you can dine and relax. There is almost no traffic on the road nearby. If you want to dine out or go to a seaside bar, there are 2 choices, in small resorts about 1 mile up the road. Best of all, the property manager Lorraine is a wonderful, friendly, helpful, lovely person who can be reached easily and who will take care of any needs or problems, with a great attitude. You should get to know her while you're there--you won't regret it.

Cute cottage, beautiful location

I rented Cayman Cottage by the Sea for my adult children for a week, as we were staying in the neighboring Snuggle Beach unit. The cottage is very cute, and worked out perfectly for the three of them. It is in very good condition with recent renovations. The view in this picture is from the balcony off of the upstairs bedroom. The main house sits between the cottage and the beach, blocking the view to the left of the picture. However, it was a very nice place to sit and enjoy the view on a windy day as the main house also blocked the wind. There is easy access to the beautiful private beach. There are actually four units on this property, the cottage, the main upper part of the house, and two units on the bottom floor of the house. There was another family of 8 renting the upper part of the house and one of the bottom units while we were there. It never posed any problems and there are plenty of beach chairs and space for everyone. Sandra and Lorraine were very helpful with any questions or problems we had. The East End of the island is a less populated area, however, there are several restaurants fairly close to the property and a small grocery store within walking distance.

About the host

Hosted by Lorraine, Property Manager

Host profile image
You will meet Lorraine --- your property manager. She is your point of contact once you reach the island. Great sense of humour and infectious laugh. You'll enjoy meeting her. She's on the property very early in the morning, and pops in throughout the day. If you need anything at all, just ask her.

Why they chose this property

This quaint cottage is located literally steps away from a powdery sand beach and ocean that is good for swimming or snorkelling. Guests have scuba dived here too, but it's quite a long swim out to the reef.

What makes this property unique

It's a very economical alternative if you have a lot of children or 2 families travelling together with kids. The 2nd floor is one huge bedroom with a total of 5 beds. Perfect for 2 or 3 adults and kids, too small for more than 3 or 4 adults.

If there are more in your family, then you can also rent one of our other properties at hte SAME location:
* Cayman Beach House (3 or 4 bedrooms)
* Cayman Snuggle Beach Apt. (1 or 2 bedrooms)
* Blue Sea Hideaway Studio (1 or 2 bedrooms)
