About this property

Beachfront Beauty & Panoramic Views -The Retreat #23 - Steps out to Two Beaches

Get ready for the Caribbean dream vacation of your life! Directly on the sand, this ground floor, beachfront beauty is surrounded by turquoise ocean all around and is an extra-special deluxe unit! It’s located at the tip of Rum Point, Cayman Islands, and offers spectacular ocean views and immediate beach access from your 40 foot screened beachfront porch just off the living room and master bedroom!

Our appraisal said it was the best unit at The Retreat due to beaches on both sides, views from all living areas, ground floor unit, literally a few steps from the sand. (Most other units have partial views and are not ground level beach access and are attached or above other condos - this one's location and cleanliness is extra special!)

* Deluxe 2 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom beachfront unit, right on the sand!

* Spacious floor plan, 1767 square feet, and turquoise waters all around. Literally steps from the white sandy beach!

* On the Tip! The only unit that has stunning ocean views from both bedrooms, kitchen, and living areas

* On-site managers for this exclusive, pristine condo. Owners respond almost instantly via email to answer any questions you may have anytime during your stay.

* Wonderfully comfortable, clean, and pristine condo with great A/C, UNMATCHED views and premier ground floor location.

* Rum Point Beach recreation area, just down the sand, offers fun excursions and activities galore. Stingray City, Sunset Cruises, Bio-luminescence Kayak Tour, Snorkeling Excursions, etc.

* Snorkel, swim, kayak or relax on the beach by stepping right outside your door

* Only 23 units total at “The Retreat”. Exquisite, private, location!

* No other renters on the sides of you, below or above! Only behind you!

* Gigantic walk-in closet in the master bedroom and two large closets in the 2nd bedroom. Wow! (Most owners lock these - we keep ours open for you!)

*Condo is well stocked with towels, sheets, kitchen appliances, dishes, utensils, bar wear, and luxuriously clean comforts.

*Fun, funky beach bar is just down the sand which serves burgers, delicious fish, fish sandwiches and amazing cocktails! Try the Sunset Punch or Mudslide!

* Located off the beaten path in the quiet side of Grand Cayman in Rum Point. Truly a dreamy island getaway like no other!

Book this unit for the most unbelievable island island adventure imaginable!

First time, great time!

Quiet beach relaxation only feet from the door. Fun options for dining and activities nearby. The host’s emailed recommendations were fantastic, especially as it pertains to viewing sea life while snorkeling. The property was extremely clean, and inviting. With laundry available, I was way over packed. Is a bit of a drive from George Town and the airport, but worth it. Looking forward to going back again.

Love rum point for snorkeling

The weather was really windy this year which is due to going in November I believe. Since we go primarily to drift snorkel from the retreat we won’t go back in November, but the weather certainly isn’t the condo’s fault! We will be back next year in January hopefully!

Rum Point Fall Getaway

We had an absolutely magical stay here in Rum Point, a great location away from the bustle and busyness of the George Town side of the island. We were in the ocean every day, eating fish drinking rum every night. We swam with stingrays, sat among starfish, and ran our hands through the otherworldly bioluminescent waters of the nearby bay. Our time here could not have been more tranquil and refreshing -- we were torn leaving such a high (and accurate) rating for fear that others will learn about this gem of a home.

Beautiful place!

Our week here was fabulous! This place is amazing and beautiful! It had everything we needed. The area is beautiful and this place is perfect. It had plenty of space. Our luggage was lost on the way and I was glad there were beach towels to use and a washer/dryer. The owner was quick to respond with questions. We would definitely stay here again, it was sad to have to leave.

The VIEWS!! This condo is amazing and just as pictured. Literally steps from the beach and Rum Point Club. Very short drive to Kaibo and Star Fish Point which should be on anyone’s todo list. The owner Katrina will send you an email with all the details prior to your stay that give you all you need for a great vacation. We are already planning our return trip. Thanks for everything Katrina.

Perfectly Peaceful

Our family enjoyed a beautiful week at Retreat at Rum Point. The condo has everything you need and we love the peace of this part of the island. Dinners at Kaibo and Upstairs were incredible and frozen drinks from Rum Point or the blender in the kitchen were delicious. We loved being able to snorkel right out the screen door! We will book again!

Quite, relaxing, and great location

The beach was quiet and right at your back door. The condo was stocked with everything we needed and very comfortable for our family of four. Our kids grabbed their snorkel gear, walked out the door and into the water. Some reviews made comments about construction next door and while it does exist, it in no way impacted our stay or was really noticeable. I would certainly recommend this location and particular condo to others.

Winter break

We had a fantastic week at Rum Point with our kids ages 10 and 12. The unit was perfect with everything in the kitchen and a good nonstick pan, which is rare in a rental! We loved the location on the point and the convenience of the ground floor unit. We snorkeled right off the beach and were amazed to see turtles, rays, and even a couple of nurse sharks and an eel! The neighbors were friendly and made great conversation, and we were able to fully relax and enjoy the sunsets every night. We’d love to stay here again!

Great stay on the laid back side of the island

We have always stayed at Morritts but decided to stay closer to Rum Point this trip. You can’t get any closer than The Retreat and we are so glad we found this gem. The condo was so clean and decorated so pretty. It had every comfort of home and have zero complaints. There is a restaurant next door, close grocery store and close to starfish point. We only drove to Georgetown one day to let our daughter do some touristy things but relaxed on the North End for the rest of our stay. Red Sail Sports picks you up next door at the Rum Point dock for boat outings which is really nice to not have to drive to meet them. It is a must stay!!!!!

PERFECT!

Perfect, perfect, perfect - everything about this unit was fantastic! Very clean - cute - comfortable - the pictures do not lie! Love the slightly "isolated" location, but several restaurants nearby - we saw the entire island and so glad we did not stay on Seven Mile Beach! Great snorkeling right in front of the condo! We cooked most nights and the kitchen was well supplied. I would HIGHLY recommend this unit to anyone!

Ideal beachfront condo away from the crowds

Great condo. Right on the water, ground floor walk out. Very spacious for 4 people, clean and well appointed. Private but not totally isolated from others. Having the private retreat beach and privacy connectedwith the party atmosphere of the Rum Point beach next door was nice. The snorkeling out front was great with one of the best spots in the Caymans only 100 yards out. Catch the sunrise and sunset from the front porch. Trips to other parts of the island not far in a rental car.Kaibo Upstairs the best restaurant on the island just down the street. This may have been the best beachfront rental we have ever had.

Perfect location, very relaxing

We rent VRBOs regularly and this is definitely one of the best - pristine clean, everything you need, whether eating in or out, and great location with reef snorkeling right outside the back door. Lovely quiet beach at the Retreat with a great bar and restaurant within two mins walk. Our 8 year old loved it and spent hours snorkeling the small reef out from the beach or under the pier - spotted a huge lobster under the night lights at the end of the pier and was so excited! Great location away from the Cruise Ship melee, but still only 40 mins back into town if and when needed - tip: check the Port website for the ship itinerary to understand just how busy it will be each day in Georgetown/Seven Mile Beach. Don’t miss the less visited East Side either - GC has much to offer for all tastes! Overall, a great vacation - kudos to #23 cleaning crew - everything really was in good shape!

Amazing Island Condo, Perfect Location - Beware Hurricane Season

We had the pleasure of staying at this incredible island condo in Grand Cayman, and it truly exceeded our expectations. The location is unbeatable, with stunning ocean views and easy access to pristine beaches. The condo itself is beautifully appointed, with modern amenities, comfortable furnishings, and everything you need for a relaxing and enjoyable stay. The accommodations were top-notch, providing all the comforts of home with the added luxury of being in a tropical paradise. The kitchen was fully equipped, allowing us to prepare meals with ease. The living area was spacious and inviting, perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring the island. The bedrooms were cozy and quiet, ensuring a restful night's sleep. However, one important thing to note is to always check the weather during hurricane season before traveling. Unfortunately, we had to evacuate just two days after our arrival due to an approaching hurricane. This led to some challenges in finding a flight off the island, which added stress to our otherwise wonderful vacation. Despite this hiccup, we still highly recommend this condo for its prime location and fantastic accommodations. Just be sure to keep an eye on the weather forecasts if you plan to visit during hurricane season. Overall, it was an amazing experience, and we would love to return under better circumstances!

What an amazing stay!!

We absolutely loved every second of our vacation staying at this well appointed, beautiful condo! It's truly a home away from home! Katrina and Matt have done an amazing job of making you feel right at home! The sunrises and sunsets and views are spectacular! The restaurant, gift shop, pier and private beach make it amazing! We didn't have to leave rum point if we didn't want too! Grand Cayman has sooo much to offer! We visited the Botanical Park, Starfish Point, Turtle Farm, and Stingray City! We ate a wonderful dinner at the Lighthouse and Over the Edge! We even visited Big Tree BBQ and chatted with the locals there! This vacation was our best yet and we will be coming back when our schedules allow! Thank you for the opportunity to rent your beautiful condo and giving us memories that will last a lifetime!

About the host

Hosted by Katrina and Matt - owners

Host profile image
Based in the Houston Texas area, Matt and Katrina purchased this unit after they stayed here on an anniversary trip and fell in love with this unit! They had the vacation of a lifetime and hope you will too! We are VERY responsive owners so if you have a question while on the island, send us a quick email! We will answer almost immediately!

Why they chose this property

One of the only units with views from almost every room and no renter above or below, only behind us! At the tip of two beaches! Rum Point is off the beaten path and offers breathtaking turquoise waters all around. This unit's location is exquisite and beach views on two sides. Just open the door and you're at the beach! Our guests come back year after year and book early because we fill up! The best location in Grand Cayman. NO CRUISE SHIP VIEWS EVER IN RUM POINT! It's quiet, remote and dreamy! Not your touristy destination!

What makes this property unique

* Snorkel in your own private beach by stepping out your door. Amazing!

* Unit 23 has a smooth white sandy beach in front for swimming or snorkeling and a rocky beach on the side that's perfect for beachcombing or exploring.

*The Retreat has its own beach and is ideally situated next to Rum Point public Beach where you can rent jet skis, kayaks, boats, or book excursions. They also have hammocks, food, and amazing cocktails!

*Unit 23 has panoramic views from master bedroom, and full beach views from all living areas.

Most vacation condos are massive buildings with hundreds or thousands of guests, but the Retreat #23 sits right on the sand and our guests step right out to the water. It's very special!

'Unit 23 is arguably the best location at The Retreat due to its panoramic views and location on the sand' according to our real estate appraisal.
