Shaggy and his place were fantastic! The bed, room, and common areas were very comfortable, and I really appreciated the sense of ease and community. I would definitely stay again.
Our 3rd visit staying on the island and 3rd time staying in West Bay. Excellent location for us. Shaggy and his team had a great unit with shared spaces and we met some great people. Though we donât dive we do snorkel quite a bit and this is a good spot to get in even without a beach. Had a great time and we love Grand Cayman and all it has to offer.
Upon arrival, Shaggy showed us the property and gave us tips of the area.
There are 3 bedrooms, each has its own bathroom , one living room, an outdoor deck - kitchen is fully equipment, we brought food supplies and stored them in the fridge - the pool is the perfect hang out after a day of sightseeing- Collier beach ( east side) is the best beach we could find -- its far ( 45 min) but totally worth it!
Thank you Shaggy for a great place to stay!
Beautiful grounds and the ocean is right there. Great sunsets. Itâs a $30 cab ride to Georgetown
Shaggy is very helpful and available. We somehow missed that this is a âshared houseâ situation (like a hostel) so make sure you know that! Off the beaten path but right next to Cayman Turtle Center, and the best restaurant on the island. Divers paradise.
You can snorkel from shore when the waves are calm. House has everything you need. Quiet neighborhood and no noise from adjacent condos. Pool is gorgeous though we used ocean instead. Busses very easy to catch. We didnât need to rent a car. $2.50 u. S. To get anywhere in west bay or as far south as bus depot. Busses run about every 5 minutes. Pay in cash. Fun to share common areas with other guests and meet other travelers. One suggestion might be to have each guest room be able to be locked. Now itâs the honor system. We had delightful fellow travelers there when we were there so it was no issue. Owner Shaggy, is very responsive. I would definitely choose this place again.
Please note that this property is not exclusively yours during your stay. The condo has four rooms available for rent, and the host is not on site. Despite the condoâs excellent location, the potential presence of other guests can be surprising, especially as VRBO usually offers entire property rentals. I was taken aback when three unknown men entered the condo one afternoon without prior notice, while my wife, teenage daughter, and I were in one room and another woman was renting another room. This setup also impacts control over the AC, bathroom access, and the use of shared areas. This wasn't clear from the property listing, so it's worth asking about the number of people sharing the property during your stay. However, Shaggy and his team were very friendly and helpful, and we had a wonderful time in West Bay.
Hi there! Small bit about me: I've been a scuba diving instructor for 20 years. I moved to the Cayman Islands in 2011 and simply loved it! Seven years later, I sold everything back home in England and set up a diving business along with a perfect oceanside condo. I love to travel and meet people,. I've been globe trotting since 1998 and I am still looking to do the South Americas! I am a very laid back person who loves to talk with people about traveling and exciting things to do around the world!
It is a beautiful place, 20m from the best shore diving in Grand Cayman. The grounds are kept beautifully and the people are lovely. It is large and airy with Duel AC and sleeps up to 10 guests with ease. Located only ten minutes from Seven Mile Beach, it is just far enough away from town that you feel you are in your own paradise and just close enough that the party and fun are accessible with ease if you want to go out till morning!
SHORE DIVING is awesomely easy and accessible steps away from your back door and the 30ft shallow reef is fantastic for all sorts of marine life: eagle ray, turtles, lobsters, parrot fish and so much more.
