The peace and tranquility of this cottage Works Wonders on the soul....
About this house rental
Located in North Side, this charming house for $600 per night is a great option for your next break. FREE NIGHT OCTOBER!! DURING THE MONTH OF OCTOBER 2023; FOR EVERY 5 NIGHTS BOOKED, GET THE SIXTH NIGHT FREE!! STAYING MORE THAN 7 NIGHTS? GET AN ADDITIONAL 5% OFF THE ENTIRE STAY!! Works Wonders is an aptly named beach front cottage that does just that to our soul every time that we stay. The home was built by Bob Soto (the father of modern scuba diving in the Caribbean) and was the family home for years. It was built to last and was a survivor of Ivan in 2004 when many were not left standing. Although restored to it’s previous glory over the years, we have spent the first potion of our ownership adding a few amenities and modern touches during our stays. We hope that you enjoy your visit and feel free to contact us with feedback. We refer to the home as a “cottage” because it has that seriously Caribbean island vibe. The secluded location with what feels like a totally private beach (although all beaches on Cayman are considered public), but at 3100 square feet, it comfortably sleeps 10 with very quiet and private quarters. The exposed wooden beam construction along with the traditional Caribbean color scheme really sets the tone for a relaxed week away from your normal routine. You may end up never leaving the peaceful and tranquil view from the home of the sound.... But, when you choose to venture out, you will not have to go very far to enjoy all the Grand Cayman has to offer. The central location of Works Wonders provides ready access to Rum Point, where the mudslides are a must; to Georgetown and Camana Bay districts, where you will find wonderful experiences for both shopping and dining (Cayman is know as the culinary capital of the Caribbean); and of course scuba and snorkeling that rivals the best in the world. And speaking of the best, 7 Mile Beach, annually voted one of the top 3 beaches in the world is just a 30 minute drive way. The list goes on and on. From salt caves to the blue iguana preserve to swimming with the turtles at Spotts Beach, Cayman has something for everyone. But then again, with some of the best bone fishing in the world just outside your back door in Frank’s Sound, and the newly constructed pool right on the beach, Works Wonders just may keep you occupied right there at home.

Where do I start....the house was very clean, the beds comfortable, the sheets soft, kitchen well stocked with everything we needed. We loved using the kayaks and paddle boards. Loved the pool and the peaceful Frank Sound. We were happy to find the little extras like snorkeling gear, foam noodles and life vests. It was perfect. We ran low on gas for the grill and the manager had a new tank there within 20 minutes. I would describe this property as "Beautiful, Perfect and Private".

We had a wonderful stay at Works Wonders. You can not beat the privacy of this location. Private pool with your own beach and no visible neighbors. Enjoyed taking the kayak out and relaxing on the property.
For restaurants we would highly recommend Tukka East for views and food. Blue Rock is a little bar with great food, good place when you need a break from the sun.
Best and closest liquor store. Jacque Scott on Frank Sound Rd. Your maps will likely tell you otherwise, don't believe them. Fosters grocery on east end has everything else you need, easy drive.
Overall we would recommend driving east and north as they are less busy. The closer you get to boden town the busy the road gets.
***If you are from US request owner to send you a pin of the property. Neither of our maps on our phones picked up the address sent, it's about a mile off.

The house was simply great. Everything worked perfectly, it was well supplied, the pool was outstanding (clean, perfect temperature), and we just really enjoyed our vacation here. It is on the quiet side of the island, which was our desire. The beach entry isn't ideal for swimming, but it was perfect for use of the supplied paddle boards and kayaks. The water pressure and hot water was excellent. The beds were very comfortable. This house was perfect for 4 adults and 3 children with room for more. Communication with owners and manager was smooth and easy.

The Works Wonders was a wonderful beach house that had plenty to offer for the whole family. The rooms were spacious, kitchen had everything needed to cook in, and East End was quite with multiple restaurants.
The kids took the Paddle boards and kayaks each morning and were in and out of the pool. We enjoy our week with family friends!

Our stay at Works Wonders was just what we needed! This was our first time at Grand Cayman and we loved the location of the cottage! It gave us the peace and privacy we look for during our vacations with the combination of being able to easily get to the east end area (Rum Point/Kaibo) and to Seven Mile beach the other way! We also liked that we were close to the botanic gardens (saw parrots and iquanas there) and Crystal Caverns. We loved star gazing at the cottage at night and we brought mini boats to do boat races in the pool and floaties to lounge in during the day! The kitchen had everything we needed for when we ate there (loved the blender to make fruit drinks and bowls) and the gas grill was great. And everything was so clean and organized! We enjoyed naming all the wildlife we saw at the cottage - the hermit crabs, roosters, and lizards and we saw some big fish swimming and a crane in the morning in front of the cottage. We enjoyed the restaurants Kaibo for the beach bbq, Tukka East (do the 5 p.m. bird feeding there!), Thatch and Barrell and in the West we did Calypso and Island Naturals. And a sweet treat at Sweet Dreams which is close to the cottage! For beaches we did Governors Beach, Cemetery Beach, Westin for a little snorkeling, Starfish Point (saw starfishes) Rum Point, Smith's Cove, and Spotts Beach. We enjoyed the 9:30 p.m. Bioluminescence Boat Tour with Cayman Kayaks too! We can't wait to return to Grand Cayman and to Works Wonders for sure!!!

We arrived to a spotlessly clean house, everything in place, very welcoming, very comfortable. Plenty of room for all of us. The only issue concerned the pool, when we reported it, a person came out early the next morning and made all well again.
Totally recommend this place.

Very comfortable and convenient to everything we needed. Communication with the property manager was outstanding, so easy with the whatsapp texting. Immediate response every time! The property has trees on both sides, making it feel like you have your own private beach. Loved the old Cayman cottage feel

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The property is well located and affords privacy will still be close to various attractions. The pool and beach were wonderful, and we enjoyed kayaking and paddle boarding. Would definitely stay again!

Quiet get away, just what we needed, away from the busy touristy George Town and 7MB. Melinda was very responsive with the few issues that we encountered during our stay.

We enjoyed our stay at Works Wonders! The home is in a quiet area but a short drive away from grocery and restaurants! Loved having the Kayaks as you can’t walk for a while into the water. It’s like mud. The water is still and very clear. Once u get out a bit it is sandy with good snorkeling! Furnishings were comfortable and clean. Pool was all the rave with the children! We loved having the upstairs master suite with balcony. Melinda was kind and helpful. Would recommend!

This place is so peaceful. It is also centrally located so could easily access the whole island with a car. We did just that. Had great recommendations from Melinda. The barefoot on the beach bbq, Tukkas, and captain Marvin’s were all fantastic. Having the kayaks and paddle boards on site provided hours of entertainment. Enjoyed the pool, especially to practice with our snorkeling gear before we went out in our first snorkeling trip with captain Marvin. Thanks for a wonderful stay.

We spent a long weekend at this wonderful property and loved every minute of it. Extremely well kitted out and managed. The outdoor and pool areas was certainly the highlight of our stay with stunning sunsets to end of every evening. We will certainly be back.

Works Wonders worked it wonders on all nine of us, our 85 yr old father along with us four kids and spouses. Having kayaks and paddle boards right on site was wonderful. The beds were comfortable, a recliner for dad was greatly appreciated, plenty of sitting inside and outside around the pool. The kitchen had everything we wanted as we ate breakfast and another meal at home. The location had a beautiful ocean view and was located conveniently to a variety of restaurants and and activities. Let Works Wonders work it’s wonders for your next vacation.

This was exactly what we were looking for, for our wedding week celebration. Such a beautiful , quiet spot. You couldn’t ask for better sunsets. Would highly recommend. This again to Chris and Lori for making it such an easy process.

My husband and I have never been to Grand Cayman before and staying at Works Wonders made our vacation fantastic and memorable! The location made it easy to venture to all points of the island...after experiencing the traffic on the West end we are SO glad we didn't rent a home over there! The home offered convenience and privacy and was such a relaxing setting! We kayaked and/or used the paddle boards every morning, relaxed in the pool and fed the local lizards watermelon pieces as our start to the day! Chris the owner and Melinda the property manager gave us excellent restaurant recommendations! We have visited nearly every island in the Caribbean and this stay has confirmed that we will absolutely come back! A few of our favorite experiences include the Cayman Turtle Center (snorkeling with them!), the Blue Iguanas and the gorgeous flowers at the Botanic Center, the Crystal Caves tour, and snorkeling all around the island (including Star Fish Point) but the best was Eden Rock (Mario is superb!). The food was great as well and among our favorites was Czech Inn, Kaibo, Tukka (perfect with the view of the full moon), Yoshi Sushi, The Caboose and even Chicken,Chicken! The house even had a cooler that we filled with fruit, cheese and prosciutto and crackers for a light lunch during our snorkeling day on the West End! We can't say enough about the home AND Chris and Melinda in making our vacation a wonderful experience! THANK YOU for sharing your home!

Stellar trip in every way
The property was absolutely perfect for our family. The setting is extraordinary, and the location is both quiet and yet an easy drive to Georgetown or the North side of the island. The bedrooms are spacious and extremely comfortable and the common spaces are perfect. Loved the porch and the patio around the salt water pool which was always the ideal temperature. We made great use of the kayaks and paddle boards on Frank’s Sound which is generally smooth as glass.
Any and all information we needed was provided by the hosts and the fabulous property manager, Melinda. Her communication and responsiveness made everything easy. If you stay at Works Wonders you’ll have a tough time pulling yourself away from the property. We can’t imagine staying anywhere else in Grand Cayman!

Beautiful house right on the beach. Out of the hustle and bustle of busy city! Extremely private! All of the rooms are huge and plenty of space throughout the whole house. We had a family of 5 staying in the house for a week. The paddle boards and kyaks were a great addition! The property manager, Melinda, was extremely responsive with our every question and need. If you’re thinking of booking this home, just do it!

Secluded Getaway in the center of the island!
Excellent location away from 7 mile. 25 minute drive off peak hours, 45 mins 7-9am and 4-6 pm to Georgetown (RUSH HOUR). Everything in the house is Better than the pics. Melinda the property manager was VERY accommodating and was constantly giving advice and recommendations. DO NOT LISTEN TO THE NEGATIVE PEOPLE ON FB... EVERYONE we talked to on Grand Cayman was Very Friendly and happy to see our family of 6! Rent a car, I have never seen such considerate drivers. If someone honks at you, they are saying thank you or hello!! Ha!!.... Though the weather didn't cooperate (TStorm Alex) there is nowhere on the island we would have wanted to be than Works Wonders ... one note: you CAN NOT walk out into the water here. I sunk and lost my shoes. It is more of a mud than sand in Frank Sound... but great for paddleboarding and kayaking.

My family had an amazing stay at Works Wonders. The kitchen was large, lots of counter space, labelled drawers, and more than enough space for multiple people to prepare a meal at once. Each bedroom was equipped with clean linens, the beds were comfortable and a huge perk was having a crib available to us. We absolutely loved the access to Kayaks and were fortunate enough to kayak at night and watch the moon rise from the East which was breathtaking! We would recommend this property to anyone looking for a private, quiet, islandy getaway. You wont be disappointed!

Perfect Family Getaway
The house was great for our family and offered a more quaint experience than a big resort. Loved having a private pool and easy ocean access. The water was generally calm and we were able to use the kayaks and paddle boards provided. Super close to the botanical gardens and easy drive to rum point. A bit of a drive to shopping, Georgetown, 7-mile, etc., however, our family enjoyed the space, privacy, and not having close neighbors. The owner and property manager were so helpful and even helped us with groceries for our late arrival. Really impressed with the level of assistance that the property manager offered the whole week.
We had a great time and would visit again.

Well Maintained, Beautiful House
We had a wonderful experience with this property. Chris and Lori were extremely helpful and great at communicating with us especially at a time when regulations for visitors were constantly changing. Melinda, the property manager, was terrific. She volunteered to pick up our groceries when there was no delivery available before the holiday. When issues arose, she took care of them immediately.
The house was very well appointed with lots of extra little touches that made it feel more like home. Card games, movies, a complete first aid kit. The kitchen had all you would need for meals. Plates, pans, cutlery, appliances all appeared to be new.
We are a family of 6 with children ranging in age from 25 to 11. We had plenty of space and privacy in the house. All enjoyed their stay and had enough to do at the house and on the island. We prefer to be on the quieter side of the island so the location was perfect. It is about a 30 minute drive to 7 Mile Beach. About 20 minutes to Kaibo beach and Rum Point. Rum Point was not open during this stay but Kaibo has beautiful beaches and the marina is a good starting point for snorkeling and for some dive spots. The house is close to some of our favorite local restaurants all within 10 to 15 minutes.
It was great to have a private beach and pool . The water in front of the house is still and can be muddy. But it was great for kayaking and for paddle boarding. It is relevant to know that the house is easy to find but on the main road and there is some road noise certain parts of the day. Wifi is available. but can be sluggish.
Overall an amazing stay in a special home. Would definitely return.

The house was very clean and well stocked with everything we needed. We fit an extended family of 8 comfortably. We especially enjoyed eating breakfast on the back patio and having a fire on the beach at night. The water wasn't ideal for swimming but there were kayaks and paddle boards supplied that were a blast. We would totally recommend it to others.
