About this condo rental

Situated in North Side, this lovely condo for $190 per night is a great choice for your next vacation. Upgrades to this charming one-bedroom, one-bath quaint, beachfront cottage, located on a quiet cove in Cayman Kai, create both a romantic luxury retreat and a 100% authentic Caymanian escape. Find stainless steel appliances, coastal-chic décor, Caribbean cross-breezes, lots of sunshine and a luxurious king-sized bed plus a queen pullout couch…and it’s all located just across the road from the iconic Rum Point Beach Bar and Restaurant. At Rum Point, you can snorkel the crystal-clear shallows, eat Surf & Turf on the beach, sip a freshly stirred cocktail (rum-based, of course!), rent a Waverunner, charter a sailboat excursion and more. Then, return to your accommodations to relax in well-appointed style. Rum Sands is part of an intimate 3-cottage complex on Sand Point Cove, and its coastal-chic interior makes it stand out. A screened in lanai overlooks the sandy cove and its lush tropical landscaping, with a twirling ceiling fan to stir the cool breeze. Two Adirondack chairs just outside the lanai encourage you to take a seat to watch the sunrise over the cove. You can also explore the area with the double kayak Rum Sands offers to guests or you can rent a bicycle or boat for more adventure. Rum Sands is located in Cayman Kai/Rum Point, a predominantly residential area, located on the quiet northern shore of Grand Cayman. We recommend renting a car as Rum Sands is about a 45 minute, scenic drive from the airport. Cooking in is easy at Rum Sands. Pick up some groceries at the nearby store in Northside, just a short drive away, and make good use of the fully equipped kitchen with stainless steel appliances and the adjacent dining table. Cooking a shared meal in paradise is a romantic experience not to be missed! This cottage is also perfect for a small family island getaway!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Rum Sands was a wonderful condo and suited our needs perfectly. It was very clean and beautifully decorated. The kitchen was well equipped. We also had a cooler, snorkel gear, beach towels and much more available for our use. The location is across the street from the beach, restaurant and gift shop. The bioluminescent bay is in the backyard. A kayak was provided for our use and we went out at night into the bay. The bioluminescence is amazing and a MUST SEE.

Really enjoyed our stay here. Nice landscaping and an attractive unit as part of a multiplex. A quiet place for getting away from it all, but very close to the water. This is a nicely-organized place with a bedroom and bathroom up a half-flight, and kitchen/dining/living area that's spacious. Out the back door, there's a lanai with table and chairs for lounging or having a meal (safe from mosquitoes - being next to the little cove off the north bay, there's a lot of mosquitoes, and they provided some mosquito repellent which you want to put on if you're going to be in the area for any length of time). Kitchen has all the basics, and you have a lot of dinnerware. Baking might be a little challenge, but enough pots and pans to cook meals. Full-sized micro, fridge, oven/stove, garbage disposal sink, and a small but quite effective dishwasher. A/C works great. There are automatic metal shutters on the back windows (from the LR and BR) - just push a button on the remote to close/open them as needed. Nice way to lock up and block out some light for nighttime. W/D worked great, too, so you don't have. to pack as many clothes for your trip! They had a kayak for your use in the backyard (life vests and chairs in the lanai) and you could just drag it out to the shore off your backyard to launch. Across the street is Rum Point, a minute's walk to that beach which faces the northern reef of the island.

The villa has everything you need, is beautifully decorated and comfortable, especiallly in keeping with the vibe of Cayman and the Caribbean. I would definitely stay here again. Right across from the sea, it doesn’t get any better. The host was also very helpful and available for anything we had questions about. Thank you :)

This VRBO is right on bioluminescence bay and across the street from the newly renovated Rum Point. Needless to say it is near the main attractions on this side of the island. Nice accommodations for couple or small family. They even have a kayak for you to take a stroll in the bay.

I have been to the island twice and I chose to stay in this place because it's on bioluminescent bay. The apartment is spacious and well appointed; it had chairs, umbrella, cooler and towels for the beach and everything we needed for the apartment. I would highly recommend staying here if you're comfortable with a quieter way of life and don't want or need all the shops and restaurants. If you're a nerd like I am, the most special thing about this place is bioluminescent bay. Swimming in the bay is a magical experience. I know most people are afraid of the jelly fish (we did get stung but it is very mild) so if you're afraid I definitely recommend using the kayak. I do recommend renting a car while staying here. Will stay here again.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: It was wonderful, every day. The Cayman people all went out of their way to make our vacation enjoyable. To all, Jennifer who checked on us, the grounds people who never wanted to disturb & were all so friendly, the plumber who stopped & gave us a ride, Edwardo the boat captain who was always concerned about our safety. The rental was perfect. Thanks to all.

A beach vacation ticks all the boxes for us if you can see the water, walk in the water without grass and there's a table for eating where you can see the water. This place ticks all the boxes. There's a screened in porch that has a beautiful view of a garden and water. When in the house, you can see the ocean out the front. While there is some sea grass that you have to navigate thru, there is a glorious sand bar that is shallow and is the perfect place to float and drink you floaty time drinks. On Sunday, the sand bar populates with boats and you can enjoy a big party. It was a lot of fun. Jennifer and Gerald are great hosts. There were always available to answer questions. Their friendly and caring attitude made the stay more like staying with family. We would love to return. Rum Point is one of our favorite beach locations. Rum Sands is a great place for a couple looking for a beach getaway!
