About this property

Cayman Kai, Rum Point; Quaint Oceanfront Condo With Beautiful Private Beach

Welcome to the Sea Lodges of Cayman Kai and our condo The Getaway, unit #22.
Our unit was renovated in 2018!

Located on the North Side of the island this is the place to come if you want a peaceful less touristy island feel. Our two bedroom two bath condo has a great private sandy beach that is just steps from your door & sitting directly in front of a protected marine park. Swim 75-100 yards off your beach and explore an attractive reef as you float down to Rum Point for one of their world famous mud slides. It's a ten minute walk back to your condo to relax with a beer on one of the two screened in patios or chill under one of the thatch umbrellas on the beach.

If you want to save some extra money or just enjoy staying home, stop at the one of several groceries on your way out to Cayman Kai and pick up what you will need. Have a great meal with a picturesque view of the ocean while sitting on the back lanai. Go down to the beach and take in the stars on a clear night. Keep an eye out for the ghost crabs. The fully equipped kitchen has a toaster, coffee maker, microwave, stove & range, refrigerator, dishwasher, and beverage refrigerator. Pick up some charcoal and use the grill out front.

Our condo has an old style Cayman layout designed to be cooled by the tropical breezes that blow on the north side of the island. Most times of the year visitors prefer to use the tropical breeze to cool the unit. However, for guest convenience air conditioning is available throughout if you should choose to use it. If so, please put up the vinyl covers for each window and door. June - August is when people are most inclined to us the AC. In the unit we provide a few beach toys if you brought your little ones, and some snorkeling gear in case you or your buddy forgot to bring theirs. There is also a washer & dryer in the condo if you need it.

If you are looking for a quiet place without a lot of hustle and bustle you've found it! The north side of the island where our Sea Lodge is located is a slower pace of life than Seven Mile Beach. For those just wanting to relax while sitting on a lightly occupied beach you will be in heaven. If you need some activity before having your cool beverage, you can swim to the reef and explore for hours. The current moves steadily, but reasonably towards Rum Point. Along the way you'll see all manner of reef fish including Southern Stingrays, Nurse Sharks, Eagle Rays, Green Sea Turtles, and more. While at Rum Point you can chill under the Casuarina trees while waiting on lunch from the Wreck Bars' kitchen and have one of their cool drinks like a Mudslide, Daiquiri, Caybrew, or White Tip Lager. Red Sail Sports is located there too. You can rent jet skis, paddle boards, or even a small sail boat. Red Sail also does various charters from this location for snorkeling, sunset cruises, or a trip out to Stingray City. Where you can gently interact and feed some very friendly Southern Stingrays. During certain times of the year you can book a night kayaking trip with Cayman Kayaks to view the bio luminescent bay, one of the few in the world, located near Rum Point. Super cool! A few miles drive from the condo you can also take a hike on the Mastic Trail in the nature reserve. Here you can see some of the original dry forest vegetation of the island and it's excellent for bird watchers or plant enthusiasts. For a more leisurely walk stop by the Queen Elizabeth II Botanical Park to see beautifully maintained gardens, nature trail, and the elusive native Cayman Blue Iguanas.

Cayman Kai & the north side of the island are not known for their late night, night life. If you want that you'll have to venture back into Georgetown/Seven Mile Beach area. It's best to make a day of the trip to town. There are however, several bars and restaurants nearby. Except during high seasons, I would not expect them to be buzzing extra late. You can grab drinks at Rum Point's Wreck Bar, or The Rum Point Club Restaurant for a more formal setting. Our favorite close spot is Kaibo. Kaibo has a casual dining space and bar below, with seating on the beach, which overlooks the bay. Upstairs you have a pricier and much more formal dining experience.

Question: Who likes to stay here?
Answer: Those who normally like our property are people who are a little more independent. Someone who wants to get out of town and the typical seven mile beach experience.

Question: What type of person usually enjoys staying at your property?
Answer: A range of people, but often people who enjoy a more private/quiet setting, connected to nature. This location fits several needs. Those who enjoy getting into nature can swim or kayak while getting plenty of exercise then come back to relax with others on their lanai.

Question: What age person usually stays at your complex?
Answer: Ages range too. Our property is great for families with children. They can stay here all day or head down to Rum Point. Retirees like this property because they have a quiet place with great patios to relax and chat on. We often get young couples who want a more intimate setting away from "the scene" of a typical spring break or large resort.

The property is beautiful. It was stocked with beach towels galore. The property is so peaceful and having your own beach footsteps away is icing on the cake. The owner is very responsive.This property has become our annual visit. Thank you for sharing and I will definitely spread the word.

Already planning our next trip!
We loved the getaway! It was perfect for a couple, such a quiet hidden gem. If you want a relaxing, quiet beach vacation with great snorkeling access this is your place! The screened in porch was our favorite! Comfy bed and great AC for. Plenty of towels and stocked well!

Perfect location for relaxing
We went here with our five year old and it was perfect. Everyone had their own space and the location was great. Very quiet and relaxing, and easy to get to everything on the island. The condo is very well stocked, especially the kitchen. The owner and property manager are very responsive.

Cayman Kai Get-Away
The place was immaculately clean and had every necessity a family could need. We found the outdoor shower very useful to rinse off the sand and saltwater after a swim. The beach here is very nice; it may be a little intimidating getting into the water with the seagrass and iron shore rock, but it's not a big issue. I would advice water shoes/socks though. As for the snorkeling...I would characterize it as one of the best shallow reefs we've been on. Very healthy coral and variety of fish. I'd advise to snorkel from Cayman Kai and "drift" your way to Rum Point. On this trip we did both Rum Point/Starfish Point and 7-mile beach and the consensus was with our group (teens and adults) that the north side was better. Try Rum Point for calm waters, lots of activities/amenities (chairs, umbrellas, showers, A/C restrooms), good snorkeling...its all right there. A ton of stuff to do on the north side and, in my opinion, best part of the island. We'd highly recommend staying here.

Absolutely Wonderful!!
We love staying at the sea lodges. J was an incredible host. Communication was great and our check in/check out went smoothly. The accommodations were as described and we had everything we needed. J welcomes you with a letter outlining things to know when you arrive from getting around the island, to places to eat, or stores to stop at along the way. J also gives you tips about safety while spending time in the water. We love our time in the Caymans and we will definitely plan a return trip soon. Hopefully we will get to stay at J’s again!

About the host

Hello, my wife and I are from Ohio and have been bringing our children to Grand Cayman for family vacations since they were born.

Why they chose this property

My wife and I first came to Grand Cayman in 1999. Like many people we originally stayed in the 7 mile beach (technically 5.2 miles) area. After staying there a few years and venturing to this side of the island we realized how cool it was on the North Side. Quiet with a chill vibe, less developed, and much less touristy feel. Later we realized that a friend of the family owned a unit in the Sea Lodges. We stayed there for many years and always spoke about how great it would be to have one of these hidden gems ourselves. Over the years we finally came across the right deal for us and purchased our condo in 2018. It's never going to be the Ritz Carlton experience, but that's OK. We love coming to this quaint cottage and the excellent access it has to nature just outside your door. It just feels homey! Like a small town you don't have to speak to anyone, but at the same time it's easy to strike up a pleasant conversation here.

What makes this property unique

You're not going to find a better place on the island where you can have both a nice private beach with such an easy swim from shore to reach a great reef. Especially for the price! The beach is never flooded with people like most along 7-mile or even as it can be down at Rum Point when the cruise crowd is shipped over - similarly at Morritts on the East End. That said, it is in close proximity (10 minute walk, 2 minute drive) to Rum Point if you want a different location to hang out for the day. On especially windy days, the protected beach there can be great for little kids, as it's usually less wavy. Get there early enough and you can claim a primo spot under the Casuarina trees to help provide all day shade for your littlest travelers.
