About this property

Gardens of the Kai 1 -Luxuriously decorated beachfront unit-by Cayman Villas!

Nestled within the prestigious enclave of Cayman Kai on the tranquil North side of the island, The Gardens of the Kai complex offers a serene retreat away from the hustle and bustle of George Town and Seven Mile Beach, while still providing easy access to quality restaurants and an array of recreational and eco-tourism activities.

Cayman Kai embodies the quiet, serene essence of the island, and is a 45-55 minute drive from Owen Roberts International Airport in George Town., as it follows the coast around Grand Cayman.

Comprising 16 standalone condos, The Gardens of the Kai showcases the finest beach in Cayman Kai, ensuring a vacation experience from sunrise to sunset. Each unit exudes a relaxed and tranquil ambiance with breathtaking views and lush tropical gardens.

Unit #1, fondly named 'Three Little Birds', has been refurbished and modernized (April 2025), and offers an exceptional blend of luxury, privacy and waterfront proximity. Step out onto the large screened porch and instantly find yourself transported to paradise. Crystal-clear blue waters, gentle breezes, and swaying coconut trees envelop your senses. A pristine freshwater swimming pool with shaded seating awaits, inviting you to enjoy a refreshing dip or dine al fresco in the island breeze.

Inside, 'Three Little Birds' features 2 bedrooms and 2 ensuite bathrooms adorned with Caribbean-style furnishings within a beautifully open floor plan. Complimentary kayaks, a paddleboard, and bicycles await your exploration of the area by land or sea, with the renowned Starfish Point and Kaibo Restaurant & Bar just a short stroll away.

The fully equipped kitchen, complete with a microwave, dishwasher, blender, and coffee maker, ensures you feel right at home. A convenient full-sized washer/dryer is also provided for your comfort, allowing you to freshen up swimsuits and towels at day's end.

Ascending to the second floor, you'll find the expansive master suite boasting a private balcony, king-size bed, television, and luxurious ensuite bathroom with double sinks, a spacious walk-in shower, and a separate tub and toilet. The guest bedroom offers ample space with two queen beds, a walk-in closet, and a well-appointed ensuite bathroom.

Floor-to-ceiling sliding doors open seamlessly onto the porch from both the kitchen and the spacious living and dining area, offering million-dollar views of the sea and sky. This is the perfect spot to unwind and witness stunning sunsets while savoring a cup of coffee or a glass of wine—truly a magical retreat in Grand Cayman!

Perfection

An absolute perfect stay on the Caribbean. Condo was newly updated with lovely furnishings, kitchen was great and location cannot be beat…..I’ve never had to take so few steps to my beach chair. Aside from the TV being hard to work & some of the beach loungers being uncomfortable, truly a great spot. Hoping to come back!!!!!

Perfect spot!

This location was perfect for relaxing, enjoying the water, and sitting back to watch beautiful sunsets. The house had plenty of space and the most amazing screened in porch. Great location to see the east end of the island and find great snorkeling spots.

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 loved staying at Gardens of the Kai! The location is great - we enjoyed the quieter side of the island. It was super convenient to go to Rum Point to get a boat to Stingray City. We also went fishing with a guide that picked us up at the Kano dock. We did a lot of kayaking from shore - we kayaked to the bio bay, starfish point, and to a great snorkeling spot offshore. We loved sitting in the screen porch for morning coffee and late night drinks. Gardens of the Kai was a beautiful area and so relaxing.

Perfect location

Incredible views right on the beach. No crowds on this part of the island. Only shared the beach with one other couple. Found starfish right off the beach. Good food and a grocery store were just a short drive away. One very good restaurant was walking distance across the street. Incredible sunsets each night. Highly recommend.

Peaceful Beach Lounging

Property was clean and comfortable, and the location was perfect. Walking right out onto the beach is just what we were looking for. Beautiful sunsets, and an acceptable drive into the city for excursions. Had an issue with the AC one afternoon, and the property manager had a technician out to get it fixed in a matter of hours, no trouble at all. Loved it!

This place is nice. Kitchen well stocked. Wish they have a few beach chairs that we could take with us while beach hopping. But overall we enjoyed the stay. Property management company gave us a checkin document that has a wrong phone number for manager on site so we couldn't reach them until she stopped by one day. They need to update this phone number.

It was a great location and we hope to return every year. The unit was very clean, had lots of beach towels, lounge chairs on the beach just steps from the front door. We kayaked to see the bio-luminescent and enjoyed many great meals walking across the street to the Kaibo restaurant.

Remarkable!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Gardens of the Kai. Everything was virtually seamless from booking through checkout. The property was beautifully landscaped, the villa was well furnished, and it was spotlessly clean. The walk to the beach didn't take long either, as it is right outside your front door. Being a Superhost on another platform, we appreciate the professionalism, hard work, dedication, and attention to detail it takes to make this a first class destination. Thank you to the entire team at Gardens of the Kai for making this a great customer experience. Respectfully, Tom

Quiet little gem

The house was perfect for our family of four. We were very comfortable and enjoyed returning to our retreat at the end of the day of activities. I am not a napper, and I napped more times than I care to admit on the hammocks located on the screened porch overlooking the bay. This same large, comfortable porch was the site of a rather heated (in a good way!) monopoly game for my family. If you have young children, note that we never saw anyone playing in the bay likely due to the jellyfish this time of year. My kids are older, so it wasn't a problem to pack up and head to a beach either via walking to Rum Point or a drive to another one of the many beaches around the island. In short, the house was clean, quiet, had supplies we needed, and the property manager answered any questions we had in a timely manner.

Slice of Heaven

This place is exactly as listed. It is on the North side of the island but if you are looking for a private beach experience with total relaxation and comfort then you will find that here. It does take a little preplanning and it is a drive over to touristy stuff but we didn’t mind. The kitchen has tons of supplies. There are more than enough towels and space. Games, books and magazines. It was very clean. There is a nice grill that we used multiple times(you do need charcoal). Starfish Point is very nearby but there were also multiple starfish in the water at our beach. If you book an excursion, most are willing to pick you up at Kaibo across the street. Only cons are the double kayak is hard to paddle and does not have seat backs. You may want to rent one that can be delivered(we did because we had 2 couples) There were also some upside down jellyfish in some places but those can be avoided. Other than that our week was PERFECT and I cannot wait to return!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Three Little Birds was just as pictured with updated, comfortable furniture. We were able to make many meals in the fully equipped kitchen. It fit our family of 5 perfectly. We loved being able to step right outside onto the beach to snorkel and float around. We rented a car and explored the beautiful island. Kaibo and Starfish point are waking distance. The vacation home was relaxing and beautiful!! We would highly recommend and would love to come back!

Amazing beach house!

Our family had a wonderful time at Gardens of the Kai. The pictures are spot on. You are literally steps from the beach. The house was super clean and very comfortable. The furniture was comfortable. The beds were very comfortable. My youngest daughter and I were up early every morning enjoying the screen porch. We loved sitting in the loungers out there with a book. My husband and other daughter enjoyed the A/C . Starfish point is just a bike ride away, but there were just as many starfish right in front of our house. We also went to rum point a couple of times. It’s very close. Seven mile beach is about an hour away and we went twice during our stay. There are no beach chairs or snorkels available for you take to other beaches. We packed an extra suitcase with beach supplies. Found some chairs and umbrellas that fit in a suitcase on Amazon. They have a double kayak, a single kayak and two paddle boards there for you to use. I was so excited that we would be able to kayak on our own to bio bay. It’s not far at all. There were a lot of boats and other kayakers going into the bay on our last night, but if you stay close to the shore and bring a flashlight to let boats know where you are, you’ll be fine. Also, going to stingray city is a must! We went with white sands which is just across the street at Kaibo. Lastly, we made sure to be back for the sunset every night. It was spectacular. The kitchen is well stocked! I brought my own seasonings but they have plenty.

Beautiful property at a stunning location

We were thrilled with our stay at this property. The location is ideal - we loved walking out the front door to swim, kayak and paddle board everyday. The house is beautifully furnished - brand new furniture, comfortable beds and a well equipped kitchen. We walked to Kaibo every morning for coffee and could continue on to starfish beach if we wished. Rum point had great boat trip options -- no need to drive to Seven Mile for that. Conveniently located to explore both ends of the island, We cannot wait to come back!

Great property and beach location

We were there in August and it was very hot out but the AC in the house kept us cool. Best spot - walk out directly to beach with no one else in your view. Each night Hermit Crabs would walk the beach and gather. Lots of starfish in the bay. Home covered with tile flooring and was updated. Kitchen was very well stocked. Loved walking to get tea and coffee and croissants in the morning from Kaibo across the street. Very quiet community this time of year. Enjoyed both Rum Point and Kaibo beach clubs and restaurants. The water was soo warm in the ocean and the pool was hot. Not refreshing this time of year but marine life (starfish) were abundant and we liked being able to take the Kayak to Bioluminescent Bay. There is a little bit of Bioluminescence in the water right in front of the property but not as impressive as Bio Bay. Loved staying here and would come again! Only negative is that we had to contact the property manager via phone to get check in instructions because they were not sent to us. I tried email and didn’t get a response first. Lady on phone was a bit rude. No one had been in the property the day before but they didn’t allow early checkin. Emails and documents had different on site contact people listed (Judy and Steven) but we never needed to reach out.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This house is a gem; we would definitely stay here again! The beach on this side isn't as clear, blue and beautiful as SMB but the wildlife makes it a better location in our opinion. So many crabs and lizards, neat fish in the water and beautiful sunsets. The house itself is gorgeous and well-stocked. Our property manager and cleaning lady helped us transition from the other side of the island and were amazing. We would absolutely choose to rent this house again on our next trip to GC. Rent a car, because you have to travel but the quiet and calm of Cayman Kai is so worth it!
