🏝️VACAY KAI: Beachfront 1 Bdrm Penthouse. SPECIAL:‼️Discount‼️ for 7+ Days Rental‼️

Location Location Location!! Wakeup each day to YOUR piece of OCEANFRONT paradise at "Vacay Kai" on the Retreat Beach @Rum Point, one of the most picturesque beaches in Grand Cayman. This oversized beachfront penthouse condo features a large screened-in lanai directly overlooking the gorgeous white-sandy beach and aquamarine Caribbean Sea. Recent renovation throughout features an open-concept kitchen, living and dining room, designer bathroom with rain showerhead, new light fixtures, and complimentary wifi & TV for your evening streaming or computer pleasure.


Kick back "island style" in a luxurious setting as you leave behind the crowds, traffic and hustle & bustle of Seven Mile Beach. The Retreat is located at Rum Point in the heart of Cayman Kai, on the Northside of the island. There are only 23 units on 7 acres of beachfront property with 1300 feet of powder-sugar white sandy beach. The water is a shallow aquamarine-blue dream. The beach has private lounge chairs, lots of vegetation, shade trees (Palm & Casuarina), and wildlife, making it a nature lover's paradise. The waters are part of a nationally protected marine park so you will find lots of fish, coral and turtles to befriend during your daily snorkels. Because of its location (on a point), not only do you have a gentle breeze throughout the day to keep you comfortable, but you can view BOTH the sunrise on the north facing beach in the mornings AND the gorgeous sunset on the western facing beach in the evenings between Spring and Fall Equinoxes. How romantic is that?


“Vacay Kai” is a large upscale 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom condominium with more than 1,039sf of AC/heated living space. The spacious bedroom offers a king-sized bed and the living room offers a queen-sized sleeper sofa. The kitchen boasts recently renovated beach shaker white cabinets, sink, faucet and stardust quartzite countertops. It is fully equipped with a full-sized refrigerator with icemaker, microwave, stove, oven, dishwasher & disposal. Moreover, it is stocked with cookware, small appliances, dishes, plates, and silverware to cook your favorite gourmet meals. Enjoy the view of the Caribbean Sea as you prep your breakfasts and lunches. Better yet, enjoy your meal at the table on the screened lanai, then relax afterwards (or nap!) with your favorite book on one of the lounge chairs. This condo is ideally situated for a couple or small young family.


If you’d like to take it easy, a quick 2 minute walk next door will bring you to Rum Point Club where you can grab a bite to eat and a cool drink to sip while enjoying the day, especially the breathtaking sunsets. You can also easily catch an excursion (Stingray City, snorkeling boat trip, Coral Gardens and/or Barrier Reefs, romantic sunset sail, etc) right from the pier at Rum Point Club. If you’re a dive enthusiast, the famous North Shore/North Wall offers some of the finest dive sites in the world. There are several dive shops in the area with whom you can set up your dives. Even daily, if you’re seeking a dive vacation! A short drive away is Starfish Beach where starfishes are easily found and the Cayman Crystal Caves where you can explore a tropical forest and amazing underground caverns. In the evening, you may choose to join the kayak excursion on the bioluminescent bay across the street (meet-up for this excursion is at Rum Point Club parking lot), where the water glows with each paddle or movement. There are delightful restaurants as well as a small grocery store nearby (listed in your welcome package). Or, if you’d like to head to the shopping and fine dining at Camana Bay/7 Mile Beach area, a 20 minute ferry can be caught down a short drive down the street which will take you to Camana Bay!


For the more active guests, you can enjoy the Retreat’s private pool, gym, tennis court, and ample PRIVATE parking lot. Each building also offers a charcoal grill for your barbecuing pleasure. For a simple night in, there are DVDs, games and books for your enjoyment.


The Retreat and our condo have been inspected and approved by the Cayman Islands Department of Tourism. So rest assured that our amenities are up to the finest of standards. We’re happy to answer any questions you may have about our condominium or the island. So, please don't hesitate to ask. Come relax, leave the stress behind, and make your best memories with us at Vacay Kai! Let's make our pristine vacation home YOUR vacation home this year and for years to come!

Ten stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thank you Mary! Your recommendations and quick response was so appreciated. Your island home is very special! Location! & North side is the place to be. Loved having Rum Point Beach and Red Sail sports. We could walk to snorkel, eat, catch a boat, swim & enjoy the beautiful surroundings of the Retreat. Quiet!!!! Relaxing and we felt like we had our own pool. We LOVED Tukka, Kaibo, Over the Edge and Solis for meals. Our highlight was the Bioluminescent Boat tour by Cayman Kayaks. DON’T miss a stingray trip it’s a once in a lifetime experience. The condo has everything we needed. Can’t wait to come back to Cayman Kai 🏝️🏝️🏝️ Will & Lisa Parker Colorado.

Rum Point Retreat
We love this property! We stayed in this same area in 2020, and believe it to be the best area on the island. The Retreat is easy to get to, parking is a breeze, the view is fantastic. The one bedroom was perfect for us. Absolutely loved the ability to walk right out to the beach. Also a great assortment of snorkel gear was a super amenity. Thinking about making this an annual trip! Lisa

The Perfect Spot!
Location, location, location! The Retreat at Rum Point is perfect. Beautiful beaches, wonderful snorkeling, gorgeous sunsets, and (quite literally) next door to drinking and dining opportunities. The condo was well-appointed, very comfortable and had everything (including the view!) one would need for a wonderful stay. We can't wait to go back.

Wonderful stay
We had a nice view of the water; the unit was the perfect size for us, with a large bedroom so that it felt very spacious. Plenty of towels. We made use of the snorkeling gear. We loved staying at Rum Point, it was so calm and so much to do. We ate at Rum Point Club our first night and it was very good. The owners were very responsive and excellent recommendations on things to do and where to eat. We’d stay here again!

About the host

Hosted by Mary

Host profile image
We love the sun, turquoise sea, plentiful sealife and tranquility. Cayman Island offers all of that along with the kindest and most welcoming people. The islands motto of "Cayman Kind" is so very true. The relaxation and joy we experience whenever we're on the island fills our hearts and soul. As foodies, we've enjoyed some of the best tasting and delicious fusion cuisines. We'd love to share all this with others. Life is about not only enjoying the present, but also making cherished lifelong memories. That is what motivates our hosting. Let our vacation home be YOUR vacation home. Today and for the years to come.

Why they chose this property

Cayman Kai/North Shore is an unique location. It is away from the hustle and bustle (let's face it: traffic traffic traffic!) of 7 mile beach. You're on vacation. Rum Point and Vacay Kai has some of the most beautiful beaches and sea life. And it's tranquil...so you can have fun and RELAX on your vacation! From holding starfishes at Starfish Beach, to kissing a stingray at Stingray City, to snorkeling at the nearby barrier reefs, to diving at some of the best dive sites in the world (which happen to be located right here in North Shore), to simply swimming with the turtles at our beach on the western side of our property where Rum Point Club Pier is located, to laying out on one of the Retreat's private lounge chairs on the north-facing beach, YOU decide how you'd like to relax. If you are a foodie, there are tantalizing restaurants within a 20 minute drive OR you can catch the ferry to Caymana Bay! It's the center and heart of Cayman in a chilled environment. Perfect for vacationing!

What makes this property unique

Vacay Kai is a penthouse unit with breath-taking views of the beach and turquoise Caribbean Sea. It's a spacious one bedroom unit, perfect for couples. You can look out to the sea while you wash dishes after a delicious home-cooked meal or catch a nap ("I was reading a book and...") on one of the loungechairs in the screened oversized lanai. Because you are not on the ground level, it is quieter from any foot traffic. And you WON'T hear footsteps or squeaky chairs above you. If you need to hop on your computer, there is a desk in the bedroom or better yet, you can sit on the lanai and do it while listening to the gentle waves and feeling the gentle breezes. Warning: you may get distracted by the gorgeous water view. That's ok...afterall, you ARE in paradise. Vacay Kai was renovated not long ago and has all the comforts of home in a spa-like environment. It IS paradise. Come enjoy your vacation with us. This year, and you'll be back for years to come.
