We have stayed all over the world and can say that this VRBO was the most well equipped (and with nice quality things) in all ways. Everything from the towels to the kitchen appliances were excellent quality. And the location was 5-Star. As was the pool --- probably twice the size of a standard plunge pool. All in all, amazing place to stay!!
Lovely, great location! The property is showing some wear and tear however everything was functional. The island is beautiful and we look forward to returning with better weather! .
We absolutely LOVED this place and we have stayed all around the world! We spent 10 days in early-to-mid-June with our family of 4 and it was absolutely perfect! Not only was the place even better than the photos, Tristan & Chantelle thought of everything! The bedding & towels were top notch, the kitchen was fully stocked, there were beach, pool & indoor games, 2 double kayaks & snorkel gear, and the location was the best! At this time of year, we didn't have to deal with crowds even in the condo complex, nor at Kaibo which is a 2 min walk on the beach (we went there every day to swim, snorkle, get food, or go on a boat tour!). It's a dream location!In addition, Tristan & Chantelle hooked us up with the BEST recommendations for excursions to swim with the stingrays & in the bioluminescent bay at night (both are a MUST & the boats leave from the doc at Kaibo!), botanical garden, etc. We also went to the local, nearby restaurants they suggested, which were great! And also the Rum Club, which is a 3 min drive and open to the public! They have a whole .pdf that they will send you with all of this information prior to your arrival! All in all, this is a FABULOUS place if you want to get away from busy 7 mile beach, but also be close to tons of activities on this part of the island. Incredible vacation! Incredible hosts! We'll be back!
We had an absolutely wonderful stay here for spring break. It was the most well appointed condo weâve ever stayed in with our kiddos. Perfect for our family! We will definitely be back soon. Thank yâall so much!
We have vacationed in the caymans numerous times over the years. We fell in love with this location, especially Tristan and Chantelleâs home. Its the only place for us now. They are the best hosts weâve ever had. We feel at home here. The views, the water, star fish and beautiful sunrise and sunsets are a wonder to behold! We plan on coming back soon and often!
We had a great stay at the condo. Had everything needed for our family - larger pool than expected, family friendly setup (games, pool toys, etc) and right on the beach. There was so many starfish right off our beach and we enjoyed kayaking out to count them and paddling over to starfish point (but more starfish by the condo than starfish point). My boys also enjoyed all wildlifeâŠiguana showed up right outside the condo one day, many little lizards, hermit crabs, and more on the beach. We also caught a snorkeling/sting ray city boat off the Kaibo pier, which is a very short walk down the beach. We had a great stay!
We came to Rum Point for my husbandâs 60th birthday. We had an absolutely amazing time. We deliberately chose the quiet season so that we could enjoy the tranquility of Cayman Islands without the crowds. So many star fresh right out front of the property, more than starfish point 2 minutes down the road. Kaibo Beach club in walking distance for coffee every morning, rum point beach club 3 minute drive down the road for snorkeling and dinner and a little shopping. Best snorkel spots when rum point was too rough were at Spotts beach and Smiths Barcadere. We saw turtles, barracuda, stingrays, lobster, a plethora of fish, absolutely amazing. Dinner at Tukka East was awesome, with the 5 oâclock Frigate and tarpon feeding. Bring your bug spray, mosquitoes come out at night. Tristan and Chantelle were communicative and the place was great. We will definitely be back.
We celebrated our 25th anniversary spending 10 days at this property. Absolutely loved having our own pool to cool off from the hot Cayman sun! The two kayaks and the paddleboards added to the fun & ability to explore the surrounding area. We loved that the condo had everything we could need, especially a great blender. Highly recommend finding mango trees to pick your own fruit, blending up some mango smoothies with local rum and enjoying them while floating in the awesome pool! Thank you Tristan & Chantelle!
We spent a week at this lovely condo and had the best time. Having a private space with a nice, warm pool just steps from the water was a dream. The condo was one of the best stocked VRBOs we've ever stayed in - plenty of soap, laundry detergent, shampoo, conditioner, TP, trash bags, etc. We walked to nearby Kaibo coffee and restaurant for at least one meal most days and enjoyed some simple meals from the local Chisholm's grocery store other nights. We did grab lunch and beach time at Rum Point one day, but preferred the quieter vibe at our place. The paddle boards and sea kayaks were used daily and counted at least 20 starfish in the shallow waters between our beach and the Kaibo dock. I waded out one last time on our final morning and even caught sight of a small stingray swimming in the bay. What a memorable family trip!
Called Tristen and Chantelle on Sunday night to extend our stay. The property was rented that we were in. They got us into another place that was just as magnificent as the first. We enjoyed 3 more days. The attention to comfort and detail far surpassed anywhere we have stay. Tristen and Chantelle are the best. Left jewelry behind found by the cleaner and they made sure we got it before we left the island. Truly wonderful people. Will absolutely stay with them again and recommend to everyone
What a wonderful condo near starfish point. Owner was readily available for questions and concerns. We were there for 4 weeks with guests coming and going. Owner arranged cleaning service around our schedule. Pool was great, kitchen was stocked with everything we would ever need, place was spotless, stars were amazing, starfish right out in our bay, and the perfect spot to watch the sun rise!
Our unit had the advantage of privacy being close to the end of the beach. All staff (cleaning, landscapers, tree trimmers, etc) were so polite, kind, and friendly!
We walked to rum point several times, were very near Kaibo. Lovely neighborhood for walking.
Bioluminescence bay was very close.
We traveled to the north and east a few times to hit some of our favorite restaurants and found a few nice snorkeling spots.
If you want to stay in Rum Point this is your spot! The host is friendly, attentive, and obviously considered guest in mind. All the tips for shopping, restaurants, and navigating the island was provided as if they knew the questions before asked. They also provide the creature comforts you are used to at home combined with a well maintained property.
My husband & I brought our daughter & niece of 16 and they loved the private pool/beach that was very close to some of the islands best excursions without the hustle & bustle of the west end of the island.
My husband enjoyed the view from the private balcony off the main suite, the private BBQ area, & your own pool that was highly refreshing in the well known Cayman heat.
The host offers water sporting gear with two kayaks and life vests & floats for the pool & the kitchen has all you need. We would go back in a heart beat.
This is our 3rd trip to Grand Cayman and we always stay in the Kaibo/Rum Point area. This is our first time staying in the Kai Pools and it worked well for us because we traveled with 2 immunocompromised people who can only swim in salt water or private pools! It was the perfect location with great amenities- plenty of water toys (kayak, boards, snorkel gear and life jackets) and the condo kitchen was well stocked with all needed supplies. It was great having to 2 separate bedrooms with attached baths. Plant of towels and other supplies. That said - the only downside to this unit is that the unit is beginning to look itâs age. Chipped tiles, some mold in showers and living room furniture was very uncomfortable. The downstairs king was two twins pushed together and not the most comfortable. The only dining table is on the patio and when there is no breeze - itâs pretty hot. However, none of that took away from the great time we had and I would recommend this unit and the Kaibo area! (PS - you will definitely want a car in order to explore because the ferry can be expensive and doesnât run late if you want to enjoy a night near 7 mile beach or the other attractions on the west end of the island.)
My family of five stayed here the week before Christmas and what a treat! We loved being on the more quiet side of the island. There is a beach club within walking distance of the condo (Kaibo) which was great for dinner, a pizza run, and early coffee for mom and dad. There are a few more restaurants within the area otherwise you need to drive 15 minutes or so. If you rent a car you will be fine! We loved all Tristan's suggestions, especially The Botanic Park - it was amazing! We also did the dawn stingray tour which left out of Kaibo so we only had a short walk to catch our boat. I highly recommend this as we were the only boat there at that time in the morning - so cool! The condo is well stocked and the snorkel equipment was such a bonus - you can drive to multiple beaches and snorkel from there. We had a fabulous time and would definitely go back. Thanks again for the great spot!!
We like to stay in areas that are calm, peaceful and less chaotic. If thatâs your vibe, this is your place. Away from the hustle and bustle of George Town, beautiful Starfish Beach just down the street. Great sunsets while having dinner/drinks at Rum Point just up the road. Private pool and outstanding hosts with great communication.
The condo, itâs location and experience with owners exceeded our already high expectations. Have vacationed on the island in the past so weâre familiar with all it has to offer. If want to enjoy having a beautiful view of the beach just steps from your door, water so warm and calm you can walk right into, see starfish laying all about, snorkel for hours, kayak to star fish point and watch the sunset, or relax on your own private patio with pool, this is the place for you!! It was paradise for us in every way!
We had a wonderful 2 weeks here for our 30th anniversary. Kitchen had everything you needed to cook meals in. The pool was super clean and the beach was very quiet and private. Would definitely stay here again.
With a private pool and the ocean just steps away, what more could you ask for? Great location if you're looking to get away from the crowds of the West End of the island. The bedrooms and bathrooms were spacious and with the added lanai open area, there was plenty of space for the 5 of us to spread out. There are tons of Starfish right in front of the property (actually more than at Starfish Beach) and the Bio Bay and Stingray City tours leave right off the dock within walking distance. We used the kayaks and the kids loved snorkeling. The downside is there isn't a lot of restaurant options on the North Side so stop at a grocery store on your way up.
Our family had an amazing time here and loved the Christmas touches from the owners such as treats waiting for us, a bottle of champaign, and Santa hatsđ„°
Iâve called the Cayman Islands home for the last 17 years and am really happy to be able to share what I love about this spectacular place with guests by renting out our beach house. I grew up in a quiet beach town in South Africa where I developed my love of all things nature. I enjoy being on the water boating or kite surfing, in the water scuba and free diving, and co-owning Bliss Yoga studio on Seven Mile Beach where my wife Chantelle teaches.
