Wonderful Staycation in a Lovely Quiet Cayman Cottage!

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 chose this cottage for its location as it’s literally across the road from the rum point public beach and the famous rum point restaurant and bar for cocktails and delicious food and vibe! As a local I have to say this cottage was one of the most well equipped we have stayed in. A small dock for sitting and watching the fish and a wonderful screened porch for morning coffee. We loved it here as it was so peaceful but steps away from the famous rum point and a mudslide when we wanted. We took walks along the beach and morning swims in the sea. We will definitely stay again and we live here!

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We are thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your stay at the cottage and took full advantage of its fantastic Rum Point location. It’s great to know that you loved the peaceful atmosphere while still being just steps away from the beach, Rum Point Restaurant, and all the fun that the area has to offer. We’re especially happy to hear that you appreciated the well-equipped cottage, the dock for relaxing by the water, and the screened porch for those quiet morning coffees. Hearing this from a local makes it even more special, and we truly appreciate your kind words. We look forward to welcoming you back again for another relaxing Rum Point getaway!

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.

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 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

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!
