About this property

Enjoy this relaxed, quiet, two-bedroom, two-bath beach bungalow on Cayman's beautiful North Shore. Go barefoot all day long and wear nothing other than a bathing suit if you so choose. Swim and snorkel off of the island's best beach, and one that is also practically your own. Our lodge has screened lanais on both the front and back and the characteristic pointy roof, which collects rainwater. All lodges are fitted with louvre doors allowing sea breezes to come through the house and obviate the need for air conditioning. Located in one of the finest neighborhoods, Sea Lodge #25 is conveniently located near popular Rum Point and is also just a picturesque ferry ride away from the more well known 7- Mile Beach.

The very popular public Rum Point (beach) Club is a short 3-minute drive away and or a 10 minute walk. Red Sail Sports provides any kind of watersports, including Scuba and excursions to Stingray City. There are complimentary lounges and chairs, food, a bar, a gift shop and showers. We recommend it for sure during rough weather and especially for small children as the swimming area is protected from the wind, and the water is really shallow.

Please peruse our renters guide for all of our favorite service providers and restaurants.

Great, affordable option in Grand Cayman

If you're looking for somewhere, that's excellent. value for money in this incredibly expensive country and you're not worried about being on the more exposed and windy North coast, this place is excellent. Highlights include the screened rear patio, perfect for sundowners, proximity to Starfish Point and Rum Point. Plus we found the laundry very useful.

Family trip

We had a great time at Rum Point. The beach was amazing and snorkeling right out to the reef was some of the best we saw. Sting rays, moray eels, puffer fish, barracuda, cuddle fish, octopus, and many coral and small reef fish! It was windy a couple days but we got lucky for the most part and weather and water conditions were perfect.

Wonderful

Everything was as described and expected. We had a wonderful stay. Snorkeling from the beach was exceptional, especially if you take a raft or kayak over the reef. We saw several octopus, reef and nurse sharks, rays, angel and parrot fish. We will definitely stay here again.

Relaxed holiday

Property is just as described by the host. The beach and snorkeling on site is great. Spent hours in the screened porch looking out at the water while having a coffee, food and cocktails. Sea Lodges are a safe, quiet and respectful neighborhood. Used the host’s charcoal grill a couple times and the kitchen area including the blender. Only thing I couldn’t get to work was safe deposit box. Also enjoyed Botanical Garden, Starfish beach for a sunset and Vivine’s for some Cayman cooking. We had a great stay.

Unspoiled Serenity

This is one of those places that one is almost reluctant to tell people about. It’s clear that for many folks, a Grand Cayman vacation means Seven Mile Beach. But for those who prefer privacy, quiet, and pristine natural beauty, this is the ticket. The house is clean, spacious, and well laid out for a family or two couples — plenty of doors, and everything opens to the porch and sea. The owner was responsive and friendly. We wouldn’t change a thing.

Perfect Rum Point location

We loved how close the cottage was to Run Point, Kaibo and the private secluded beach right at the property. Kirby was very responsive and ensured we were prepared and taken care of. We snorkeled off our beach every day and saw a lot of amazing sea creatures. A few things to note, there is no air conditioning and with the fans, it helps, but can be fairly warm. While there were screened in porches on both sides, we did experience a fair amount of small gnats that got through. It is also an economy cottage, so don’t expect a high end experience. It was not a concern to us as we got what was expected based on the photos and we’re pretty much out and about on the island or at the private beach the whole time!

Charming cottage

This cottage was the perfect get away for our family from Cape Cod. It has just what you need. The beds are comfortable, the kitchen is well stocked and the lay out of the house works well for a family or 2 couples. The screened in porch is hard to leave. The beach right outside your door has some of the best snorkeling on the island. Kirby was quick to respond to questions and spot on with recommendations for places to visit. We loved the "Back Then" book on the book shelf that provided another perspective on the history of the island. I highly recommend this home on the North side of the island to those who want to get away from the bustle of Georgetown.

Great place to stay

My husband and I and our 2 young adult children stayed here over Christmas break. The accommodations were perfect and Kirby gave great information before arriving so that we knew where to rent a car, where to shop and which restaurants to visit. We were able to cook most meals at the condo, which had all that we needed to do so. We were right on the beach and even though the wind was blowing every day we were able to get out to snorkel and saw some life. The condo is tastefully furnished and even had games, books and a DVD player for our entertainment. It was clean upon our arrival; beach towels were provided as well as sand toys. The area is the quieter side of the island which we really preferred, especially after a day of venturing out to the busy parts. We would stay here again.

Great spot on the north side!

This is a great spot on the north side if you're looking for quiet and snorkeling! The accommodations are stellar and we spent most of our time on the screened in porch with a beach front and ocean view. There's plent of room and if you want to eat in it's fully stocked with the needed equipment. Snorkeling is great right off the property if winds allow, and we say all sorts of fish, from large stingrays and baracuda to the smallest of fun fish around the coral heads. You can also got to Rum Point or Starfish beach to snorkel We had a great time, went to Tukka, Viviennes Kitchen (stellar rum cake!), and Big Tree BBQ on the East End, as well as Kaibo and Over the Edge. This place is NOT about the hustle and bustle of 7 Mile Beach and you need a car. We've stayed there twice and will stay again! Thanks to Kirby!!

Peaceful Paradise

This beach cottage paradise is as tranquil and peaceful a place as I have ever seen. Spotless, cozy and so comfortable with quiet, friendly neighbors and literally ON the beach. We fell asleep every night to the sounds of the waves and breeze through the palm trees. Kirby is a fantastic host; he checked in several times to check on us (we experienced an unexpected storm during our vacation), attentive to every need, and full of recommendations. Great for kids or couples looking for peace and quiet. The cottage itself is definitely not a brand new resort. It feels like a warm, comfortable home that has seen a lifetime of great memories. Not a party atmosphere, but a minute down the road from Rum Point if that’s what you’re looking for. Quick drive to great restaurants, grocery stores, etc. The snorkeling steps from our front door was breathtaking; gorgeous array of fish, corals, conch, birds, and more. 11 out of 10, beats any resort by a long shot, in my book. Definitely will return, very highly recommend!

Simple and peaceful. Away from the crowds and steps from the ocean.

LOVED our stay at Kirby's place on the north side of Grand Cayman. What we loved- . the constant ocean breeze . really comfortable beds . bright and airy, very outdoor living accommodation, high ceilings, simple decor . you can count the steps to the beach . SO quiet. We rarely saw more than two other people on our felt-like-private beach . crabs running around on the sand in the mornings . spending a couple afternoons at nearby Rum Point, in case you want the briefest touch of touristy stuff (pina colada on the beach, other people) . sooooo much sea-life in the ocean. Saw a lobster, a baby octopus, many conch (live and not), fish, more fish, more more fish Some tips for travelers- . if snorkeling, bring your own snorkel gear or rent from red sail just down the road . the kitchen is as spartan as it looks, so if you plan on doing a lot of cooking, you'll need to be flexible and a little creative . discovered the blender was broken, which I only mention because it's a bummer to only find this out at sunset with a fist full of ice and pina colada mix Would return in a heartbeat. One of our favorite family vacations!

Lower your expectations

We checked into this condo for what was supposed to be a 6 night stay but we left after one day as it was not meeting our expectations for what we wanted our vacation to be. The pros of this place were: It was located on the beach with a nice view and a good cross breeze to keep it a good temperature and is very close to the restaurants at Rum Point, the bedrooms were big and the beds were comfortable. The cons were a lot more which was why we left: The place is old and has never had any upgrades at all, the windows don’t have glass just louvers so it was not secure, it would have been no effort for someone to enter when we were not there, the sofa smelled terrible and made it difficult to sit anywhere near it, although there’s screened porches on the front and the back enclosing the windows and doors the mosquitoes and black flies were able to get in and we were all bitten all night the one night we stayed there, there is no air conditioning (this was a first for a vacation rental and we’ve been to many) there’s no pool and no dish washer, the kitchen is a kitchenette and not easy to prepare a meal, the appliance are old and rusty and the cleaner forgot to clean up a spill in the refrigerator before she left so we had to clean it before we could put the groceries away. There were no TVs in the unit so unless you bring a laptop or iPad you can’t have a movie night. I contacted the owner and asked for a refund of 5 days and he gave 50% of his fee only. Not impressed.

Fantastic Owner

There is no AC but all windows and doors are shutter style with open air to outside screened patios. Plenty of fans for airflow. Fantastic owner very helpful. Cayman Kai is the place to go in GC. Restaurants, grocery, public beaches, docks at Kaibo for fishing trips or stingray city. Rent a car and stay away from the hustle and bustle of 7 mile beach.

Amazing stay, almost private beach, super clean.

This is a great place. The views are better than indicated in the listing photos in my opinion. The beach is amazing, very private and very close. This isn’t one of those beachfront properties where the ocean is off in the distance, it’s down the sidewalk, and boom. The condo is what I would call economy as far as finishes go, but very well set up for the price. It had everything we needed and more. The master bed is very comfortable. We didn’t use the guest room so I can’t speak to that. The unit was very clean. I’m a neat freak and I couldn’t find a single issue with the cleanliness. I would definitely return.
