About this property

Rum Sands - A Charming Cottage on the Bioluminescent Bay! Call Cayman Villas!

This charming one-bedroom, one-bath beachfront cottage, nestled in a tranquil cove in Cayman Kai, has been transformed into a luxurious romantic hideaway and an authentic Caymanian retreat. Featuring stainless steel appliances, coastal-chic decor, refreshing Caribbean cross-breezes, abundant sunshine, and a lavish king-sized bed with a queen pullout couch, this cottage offers the epitome of comfort and style. And to top it off, it's conveniently located just across from the iconic Rum Point Beach Bar and Restaurant.

At Rum Point, guests can indulge in snorkeling in the crystal-clear shallows, relish Surf & Turf dining right on the beach, sip on freshly stirred cocktails (rum-based, naturally!), rent Wave runners, embark on sailboat excursions, and more. After a day of adventure, retreat to Rum Sands to unwind in elegant surroundings. Situated within an intimate 3-cottage complex on Sand Point Cove, Rum Sands boasts a coastal-chic interior that sets it apart.

A screened-in lanai offers sweeping views of the sandy cove and its lush tropical landscaping, complete with a gentle breeze stirred by a twirling ceiling fan. Two Adirondack chairs just outside the lanai invite you to sit back and watch the sunrise over the cove. Guests can also explore the area with the double kayak provided by Rum Sands or opt to rent a bicycle or boat for further adventures.

Located in Cayman Kai/Rum Point, a predominantly residential area on the serene northern shore of Grand Cayman, Rum Sands offers a peaceful escape. While a rental car is recommended for convenience, guests can enjoy a scenic 45-minute drive from the airport to reach this idyllic destination.

Cooking at Rum Sands is a breeze. Simply pick up groceries at the nearby store in Northside, just a short drive away, and take advantage of the fully equipped kitchen with stainless steel appliances and the adjacent dining table. Sharing a meal in paradise is a romantic experience not to be missed, making this cottage an ideal choice for a small family island getaway as well!

What a fantastic property and location! This is directly across the street from Rum Point Resort with gorgeous sunsets and a great beach area. It is a very secluded part of the island so make sure to bring any groceries you need before you head that way but it was so peaceful! We literally walked across the street for our Biobay tour with Cayman Kayaks and we drove about 5 mins to Starfish Point and Kaibo beach. It was perfect for our needs. The kayak provided is VERY heavy and took both of us to get to the water but what a great thing to have at our disposal! The seat didn't work well but it didn't stop us from taking it out and we had a blast paddling around to the other side of the bay. If you can think of something that the host forgot to have in the house, you are better than I am. We had EVERYTHING including a cooler and sun hats for our use. I loved everything about this place and can't wait for our next trip! Do yourself a favor and stay at this adorable beach house! And don't miss the stingrays across the street!

We just spent a week in the villa. The manager was extremely helpful and courteous. We could not ask for a better location. The beach is literally across the street, and all towels, chairs, and beach entertainment were provided. The villa is in a very good condition, and the outdoor area is excellent. We especially enjoyed the outdoor hammock and kayak. Not having to worry about a parking space was definitely a plus.

A wonderful place to stay in Rum Point

Having never been to Grand Cayman or Rum Point before, we didn't quite know what we were looking for. This unit is one of the very few that has both bay frontage (on the bio bay - TOTALLY worth it) as well as ocean view from the front porch. You are literally looking at water on both sides. For the money, this place can't be beat. And the host was super helpful with answering questions about local restaurants and experiences. Highly recommend

Bio bay getaway

This VRBO is right on bioluminescence bay and across the street from the newly renovated Rum Point. Needless to say it is near the main attractions on this side of the island. Nice accommodations for couple or small family. They even have a kayak for you to take a stroll in the bay.

Stayed with my daughter, love Rum Point

We have stayed in this very unit in the past and came back specifically because of how much we enjoyed it. It's a short walk from the very underrated Rum Point Beach and there are some cool activities on this side of the island that are less busy than the more commercial Seven Mile Beach area.

Great getaway spot!

I stayed in the house with my wife and mother. We had a great stay there. The living room had a pull out couch bed and my mom was very comfortable there. Super close to Bio-Luminescent Bay and the ocean. Rum Point Beach was closed at our time of stay but they are planning to rebuild it (hopefully). Great place to stay.

A little gem

A small but well-equipped property backing on to bioluminescence bay. We loved it. Lovely views out the back to the bay and across the road to the front of the ocean at Rum Point. Just steps from the beautiful beach and a longer walk (maybe 30 minutes) to Kaibo. Quiet and peaceful. We made good use of the kayak to see the bioluminescence which save us the high price of an organised trip. We loved it

Lovely cottage in the middle of paradise

Older home, but still in great condition and very comfy and clean. Screened in porch was a plus. Tons of outdoor sitting/relaxing space. Having a kayak was great to kayak the bioluminescence bay. Driving distance to Starfish Point which was an excellent beach to hang out for the day. Took cooler and chairs provided - thank you! Also walking distance to Rum Point bar and restaurant if you want time out. Would definitely stay again!

Awesome!

The apartment is great. The location is unbeatable. Would definitely come back. Check-in was a little difficult because I deleted the email with the instructions and had a hard time getting a hold of anyone who could help me. Once I got the instructions, it was easy. The air-conditioning took a long time to cool down the house, but once it was cooled down, it maintained just fine.

Great location

The location of this property is amazing! There is a beach across the street where the snorkeling was fantastic…. Sea turtles, sting ray… parrot fish! We walked every morning through the beautiful neighborhood! A car is a must!! We had a bit of a hiccup with the checkin but it was resolved and the manger was responsive and everything worked out in the end.
