If you are like me, you might look at most rentals for what it is lacking and what might be hidden flaws. Let me reassure you that this place has none in my opinion. I doubt that I could have picked a better location if you are looking for a non touristy local experience in the Caymans which is just what we had hoped for. Both large bedrooms have a great view and are wonderfully comfortable. The screened in lanai is your living area. The beach location gives total privacy as it is the next to the last unit. The two person kayak gave us access to many areas, even stingray city if you like kayaking like us, by our own means. We watched the sun rise each day from our unit and walked a couple of minutes to starfish point to watch it set at night. There are plenty of local beach places to eat simple yummy food and the drive to the other side of the island is not so far as to make it difficult to get to. The condo is extremely well kept, the kitchen well stocked and the owners very kind and available. This is one place you can rent with no worries.
Nice place, walkable to starfish point and easy drive to all the attractions on the north and east sides of the island. Screened in outdoor space and pool were well enjoyed
Location is great and check in was easy. Unit was not very clean and dishwasher did not function property. Both issues were reported to owner but no remedy was provided.
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 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!!
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!!
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 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 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!
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!
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.
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 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.
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.
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!
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!
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.)
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!
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.
