About this property

SKY Luxurious Tranquility on a Private Beach In A Protected Marine Environment

Crescent Beach has received to 2017/18 Certificates of Excellence and has never received a rating of less than 5 stars from our guests. Sky is a home away from home - a 2100 sq.ft. upper floor apartment built in 2015 with 3 bed/bath with bedrooms 2 and 3 being convertible to either KING or 2 x TWIN beds, open living, dining and kitchen area with superb sea views. Perfect for families who like quiet, remote living but with many amenities within 30 minutes driving. A second apartment, Sand, is on the ground floor and offers similar amenities. The interior is modern, tastefully decorated and well equipped for cooking and entertainment. Kitchen appliances include gas stove, microwave, double door fridge/freezer, dish washer, combo washing machine/dryer. All lighting within both Sand and Sky is LED and high efficiency central air units are easily controlled from a simple thermostat. Doors are equipped with "open" detectors which will switch off the air conditioning if a patio door is left open. Our goal has been to try to conserve energy and use it efficiently for the comfort of our guests. Master bedroom features king bed, second and third bedroom features Twin beds which can be converted to King. cots are available on request.

There is a pool, courtyard with barbeque and eating facility. The Games room is equipped with pool table; table tennis and dart board.

The home theatre is comfortably equipped with bean bags and chairs. There is a large selection of DVDs.

Situated in a protected zone, the coral beach is a turtle nesting site and opens onto a 200 x100 yard bay with living coral and a low-lying reef about 100 yards out. Typically, more than 500 baby turtles leave the beach for the Caribbean Sea every year. Many of our guests have witnessed hand release by us of turtles which were left behind in the nest. The coral beach has both sandy and rocky features which vary as wind and wave direction shift. Off the beach is the best snorkeling to be found close to the shore in Grand Cayman.

A variety of top local restaurants are within 10 minutes driving and one of Cayman's best diver operations is just 8 minutes away.

Sky is very elevated with the front patio and the ocean-facing balcony being 15 feet high. Tempered safety glass balusters form the railings to ensure a superb view even from inside the apartment.

For larger families or for special events such as weddings or family reunions, Sand and Sky together provide six bedrooms in total for a maximum party of 12 persons. And with just under one acre of sandy grounds and tropical gardens, it is a perfect site for the wedding itself.

Top notch friendly and helpful host. Clean room. Awesome view. Small amenities are great. Due to surrounding nature, plenty of bugs even on second floor. Also wish the beach has less rocks. Definitely recommend!
Stayed 5 nights in Mar 2026
Response from VrboOwner on 17 March 2026
Thanks for visiting and for the review. We are not sure what bugs you are referring to - being a countryside environment as well as ocean frontage, we are bound to hsver a few flying friends, generally around sunset and generally not for too long. Yes, the beach is a perch-beach with sand thrown up by wave action over broken coral. A major storm lifted some of it higher up the beach, almost burying a small retainer wall. Over time, Mother Nature will move some sand back down and will throw more sand up from the bottom of the bay. But being a marine-protection zone, we cannot force such actions. No heavy equipment is permitted on the beach. This is why our guests bring wading shoes. This is also wise if snorkelling in the bay without fins - which many guests do - the natural environment of the bay means that you can find sea anenomes and other creatures which are not a good contact for bare feet. We hope that you had a pleasant trip back home.

Great place!

The property is exactly as described. The owner, Paul, is amazing! He is very accommodating and friendly and helpful. The snorkeling off the beach was great. If you don’t want to stay where all the other tourists are, want a more remote location, this place is perfect! Even though it is “remote,” it is still an easy drive to every other place on the island you’d like to visit. Huge, spacious, and clean. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and you couldn’t beat the views from wherever you were, whether inside or outside! We would definitely stay there again!

Response from VrboOwner on 21 March 2020
Thank you for your comments. Yes - Crescent Beach is home away from home. And yes, wading shoes are a necessity to enter the bay until we get the dock built later this year. Being a protected marine environment, we cannot remove the broken coral which is at the water's edge. Of course, we can create a pathway through it but within a couple of days, wave-action will quickly roll them around. The good thing is that the live coral and the sea life are wonderful to view while snorkeling.

Fantastic stay!

Absolutely loved the location and amenities. The home was so comfortable for my family of 5 (3 adult kids) and it was great to be able to swim, snorkel and hike along the beach literally out the back door. We loved hanging out on the gorgeous porch enjoying endless views of the ocean. Seven mile beach was a 45-60 min drive but we liked being away from all the commotion in a more relaxed area. Great restaurants were close by on the east end of the island. Paul and Fay Ann were lovely hosts- will definitely be back!

Our stay here was perfect! Paul and Fay Anne have really thought of everything that you need for a wonderful stay. The accommodation was clean, comfortable and extremly well stocked. The views from the property were outstanding. We had chosen to stay on the less busy and crowded side of the island and very pleased we did.

Thank you for your comments, and especially the one about trust. We had a situation which we queried with Google. A "browser" rated Crescent Beach 4-stars - thanks, but why? The browser had never stayed at Crescent Beach. Google's comment was that the browser was rating the website. Google has no ability to isolate that on the Google system. So, what nonsense from Google. VRBO's ratings come from people who were guests. And even though we have never had a rating less that 5-stars, the ratings help us learn what we are doing right and how we can still improve - because the ratings come from guests. We hope to see you again soon.

Great Stay

Our party of 4 became a party of two last minute so it was just myself and my 6 year old son. We had a blast. He really enjoyed the pool, sand, and the chickens. While this is a great set up for adults, there is also plenty for kids to do as well. Paul has a great movie selection and an Xbox so kids can spend time entertaining themselves out of the sun. The views were really great and Paul was an excellent host. We will be back for sure.

About the host

Hosted by Paul de Freitas

Host profile image
Paul and Fay Anne de Freitas are both world travellers who settled in the Cayman Islands in 1983. Brought up in Guyana, England and Ireland, and having lived in the USA, Antigua and Grenada, we bring a knowledge of what is needed to instinctively feel comfortable and at home in a new environment. Paul is involved in a company which produces banking software and travels fairly regularly to his office in Sweden.

Why they chose this property

Paul and Fay Anne recognised that unique beach property is hard to find. And the Half Moon Bay is very unique - a coral garden. This property was supposed to become the clubhouse of the exclusive Half Moon Bay project which, thanks to Hurricane Ivan, came to an untimely end. With grounds of an acre and deep deposits of white sand over a stable ironshore base, the site offered many possibilities for development. We decided to place a twin apartment structure on the east side of the property since this kind of layout maximises privacy for individual renters. We designed Crescent Beach from the ground up. And so Crescent Beach is an extension of our personality and even includes artwork from Fay Anne.

What makes this property unique

Crescent Beach is unique because its beach fronts a small bay, Half Moon Bay, full of living coral gardens among which you can walk - only on the sandy bits please. It is even more unique because the properties to the east and west have iron-shore frontage - a tough, craggy, limestone rock - and for this reason, the usual rule of the beach being open to walkers up to the high water mark really does not apply. To access the beach, third parties would have to cross private property.

Our beach is used as a nesting site for the Green Turtle and we make sure that we are around to help the nestlings into the water when they dig their way to the surface after their gestation period in the sand. The sight of numerous baby turtles scuttling determinedly towards the surf line is a sight that one does not forget. No guarantees, but the last nestlings took to the water in August - so if that's your month, you may get lucky and see one of Mother Nature's most wonderful sights.

So for visitors keen on quiet relaxation in a unique environment, but with fast and convenient access to restaurants, diving, and about 30 minutes away, the big city - George Town and Camana Bay, Crescent Beach affords the best of both worlds.
