About this property

Envision: Upgraded Villa w/Backyard Beach & Snorkeling + Private Pool w/Spa

***Property Overview***
Envision is the new name for this recently renovated beach house on Cayman's North Side with backyard snorkeling, a sandy beachfront, plus a private pool with spa.

The home sits on an oceanfront lot with a vacant lot to the east and the North Side cemetery to the west. The cemetery is visible from the driveway. Tall foliage and a large buffer area block its view from other parts of the home.

Reasonably priced for larger families, Envision is a two-level home featuring an open floor plan with a large family room on the lower level. Furnished with a comfortable sectional sofa and large television, guests will find plenty of space to spread out, relax, and enjoy the sweeping ocean views. Exposed beams and vaulted ceilings accentuate the views while also filling the home with natural light.

A small den sits off the family room furnished with a desk and sleeper sofa. It's a nice spot to curl up with a book for some quiet time or a daytime nap. Work-from-home professionals can retreat to the den to connect remotely with the office while vacationing in style.

The new freshwater pool with spa overlooks a large sandy beachfront that leads to excellent snorkeling just steps from the back door. The beach offers plenty of sunning space with no neighbors to the east or west. The beach is lined with palm trees and comes equipped with a beach cabana for shade plus a seaside hammock.

A large oceanfront sun porch on the edge of the pool deck is the perfect place to dine or relax after a day of sun and surf. The dining table is usually set up with seating for 6-8 guests. The owner and property manager are attentive to maintenance and keep everything just right for guests.

The villa's 5 bedrooms are spread across the upper and lower levels. The primary suite plus two bedrooms sit on the lower level with the remaining 2 bedrooms upstairs. The upper-level bedrooms are ideal for kids and teens due to their low ceilings.

The outdoor sun decks flank both sides of the pool with 2-3 sun loungers each. An outdoor kitchen on the west side of the villa features ample counter space and a propane grill for island cookouts.

***Getting Around***
A rental car is highly recommended. Taxi cabs are unreliable and expensive outside of town and Seven Mile Beach. Plus, there is no Uber or Lyft on the island.

For rental cars, we recommend Avis, Marshalls, or Hertz.

***Nearby Attractions***
-- 1-minute drive to the nearest grocer, Chisholm's Grocery.
-- 4-minute drive east to Over the Edge restaurant and Cayman Crystal Caves.
-- 4 miles from our Silver Thatch Welcome Center.
-- 5 miles west to Rum Point Beach (temporarily closed) and Bioluminescent Bay.
-- 6 miles to the Kaibo Beach Bar & Grill & Starfish Point.
-- 7.8 miles to the nearest supermarket, Foster's Express.
-- 10 miles to Tukka East Restaurant & Bar and the Cayman Parrot Sanctuary.
-- 11 miles to La Casita Taco & Tequilla Bar.
-- 21 miles (39-minute drive) from Owen Roberts Airport (GCM).

***Villa Cleaning & Sanitation***
All villas are cleaned and sanitized prior to each guest's arrival. We also ask our owners to provide a starter supply of extra cleaning products.

Additional housekeeping services can be purchased after booking in 3-hour time blocks. Scheduling may be coordinated with your property manager upon arrival.

***Beach Notes***
The entire island is only 22 miles wide from west to east, so you are never too far from anywhere on Grand Cayman.

The beach at Envision offers great reef-protected snorkeling while also having a sandy beachfront. The beaches in North Side usually have plenty of white sand, but can also have some spots of rocky �ironshore� with natural rock formations.

With the abundant marine life we have in the water, you will want to wear pool shoes or fins for foot protection. The prevailing trade winds from the east make flying insects less of a nuisance�many of the homes on the north coast don�t even need a screened porch.

The big draw to this area is the proximity to the Rum Point Club, a public beach club (reopens March 2023) that offers a fantastic barefoot beach, many watersports, a restaurant bar and grill, a gift shop, and pick-up beach volleyball games. Also nearby is the Kaibo Yacht Club restaurant, bar, and marina

Lastly, we have two large resorts in the east end (Morritt's and The Reef) that offer manicured beaches as well as restaurants, beach bars, a modern grocery store, a liquor store, gift shops, a Subway sandwich shop, and the Italian Kitchen restaurant. These two resorts also offer scuba, snorkel trips, jet skis, windsurfing, kiteboarding, oceanfront pools, and bar service.

***General Grand Cayman Beach Notes***
All beaches in Grand Cayman are technically �public� since the Crown owns up to the high water mark and the shoreline quality behind your property may vary seasonally. Be advised that the beach or water entry behind your property may vary slightly from the images on our website because of the weather. The next-door beach is also always available for your use.

***Ocean Debris & Sargassum Seaweed***
Beaches in Grand Cayman may also experience floating ocean debris and sargassum weed seasonally.

Sargassum is a generally harmless floating seaweed that has increased in frequency in recent years. Although sargassum is an unsightly nuisance, it is largely seasonal in summer. Our owners do make efforts to remove heavy sargassum and will have the beach raked prior to your arrival.

Should sargassum weed be extremely heavy behind your property, we will reach out to the owner for alternative solutions which may include a partial refund or relocation.

We try our best to work around mother nature.

Great Stay in GC
Perfect house for 2 families on the North Side of the island. Very private. We loved our own beach and the snorkeling 15 yrds from shore. Very close to a small grocery store that was perfect for topping off what we needed. 10 minutes from Rum Point/Starfish Point/Kaibo Marina. 20 minutes to the East End beaches at Wyndham/Morritts.

Incredible House & Location
This house was exactly as pictured. There were 10 of us and my 22-month granddaughter celebrating my 60th birthday! What a blast. We used the pool/jacuzzi everyday and the beach on occasion. It's just such a beautiful house and the view! We got very spoiled with that. Everything was on-hand needed for cooking - we LOVED the two refrigerators & BBQ grill on the premises! The property manager Penni was very responsive if we had any needs or concerns. My family hired a chef for my birthday and everything was just beyond perfect. You are a bit away from 7 mile beach, but we all really loved the quietness of the property. No fret though, everything is within a drive's time. We visited almost all parts of the island with scuba diving, snorkeling, private chartering, lunches, shopping, etc. SO MANY favorites! Stingray City was one of my personal faves - the water is pristine! We also had a masseuse come to the property - she was amazing! Another plus, is Chisolm's, the little grocery store is literally right up the road. For as small as it is, they had everything! We were there about every day for something. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay at Envision and visit to the island! We are in LOVE - I'm sure we'll be back!

Family vacation
The location is quiet and peaceful. Bring your rock shoes for swimming. The pool is great for gazing out to the ocean. Shamar and the staff at Silver Thatch were amazing!! They met our every need. Private chef Carlos was awesome as well. 10 minutes from Rum Point.
