About this house rental

***Property Overview***
Welcome to Castaway Cove, an oceanfront villa located on the North Side.

Offering excellent backyard snorkeling, this airy, sun-filled two-story beach house features breathtaking views from almost every room, vaulted ceilings, and an open concept design.

Enjoying a protective coral reef, Castaway Cove is perfect for snorkelers and water enthusiasts. Guests can enjoy their own private dock with thatched cabana, built-in benches, and an ocean ladder for gentle water entry. The dock is a great spot for lazy lounging above the waves with a good book or your favorite people! We advise all guests to wear foot protection when wading into the ocean.

The living area features vaulted ceilings and an open design, allowing tons of natural light and dazzling ocean views to fill the interiors. All the comforts of home are provided, from plush couches to a large HD cable television with surround sound.

=====================

***Beach Notes***
The entire island is only 22 miles wide from east to west, so you are never too far from anywhere on Grand Cayman. All beaches in Grand Cayman are public since the Crown owns up to the high water mark. The beach or water entry behind your property may vary slightly from the images on our website due to shifting tides and weather patterns. The beach next door is also always available for your use.

The homes in Northside offer great reef-protected snorkeling. The beaches in Northside can have plenty of white sand, but can also be pebbly with natural rock formations. Either way, with the abundant marine life we have in the water, you will want to wear foot protection—pool shoes or fins—when wading into the ocean.

From North Side, it's an easy 10-minute drive to the Rum Point Club, as well as a 10-15 minute drive to Tukka restaurant in the East End. You'll also find 2 resorts in the East End—Morritts and The Reef—with restaurants and a dock bar.

***Ocean Debris & Sargassum***
Beaches in Grand Cayman may also experience floating ocean debris and sargassum seaweed seasonally. Sargassum is a harmless seaweed that has increased in frequency over the summer months. Our owners do make efforts to remove heavy sargassum and will have the beach raked before your arrival. We try our best to work around Mother Nature.

The house was everything the website promised . Perfect ! Be careful when putting gasoline in your rental car- we ended up with diesel in our tank on our way to turn the car in at the airport and that is an expensive way to finish your vacation!!

Went with a group of friends and we loved it!
8 / 10Excellent·Jan 2018
Pictures are very accurate and the home has plenty of amenities, as if you were staying at a friends house. Games, books, extra chairs and everything in the kitchen. The property owners, along with Silver Thatch AND the cleaning lady Chloe, were very personable and helpful! Be aware the north side of the island has plenty of wind so snorkeling off our beach front was not possible. That was strictly due to weather though. With calm/warm weather snorkeling would be possible. Also, FYI, there is a enormous amount of seaweed on the beach, limiting space to lounge or lay out in the sand. The seaweed is piled up along the entire stretch of coast 2 feet high and litter is abundant! Again, nothing against the property, more a public service announcement for the northern part of the island.
6 / 10Average·Mar 2018
The view was phenomenal but couldn’t really get into the water due to grasses and rocks so a pool was very much missed. The inside is large and the kitchen was very well equipped but the microwave didn’t work (so they have another one on the counter?) and the fan by the stove didn’t work (which leads to a lot of smoke and odors) and a security detector inside kept beeping. We called the management company who came out to fix the detector 5 days into our visit. The Mgmt company fee, by the way, is ridiculous. It’s supposed to give you discounts and high quality bath products. We got 3 small soaps. The pier and shack at the end were delightful and the location is our favorite
