Nestled in Old Man Bay, this attractive house for $2,172 per night is a great choice for your next break. ***Property Overview*** Cayman Sands is an oceanfront villa in Old Man Bay along the north coast. This popular villa is one of only 2-3 homes that offer shore scuba diving off the famous Cayman Wall. With an open, one-story design, Cayman Sands offers guests an intimate experience across 4,000 sq ft. of living space, plus a one-bedroom guest cottage. The main house features 4 bedroom suites (king, queen, 2 twin beds, and 4 bunk beds) with ensuite baths that have been completely re-tiled and renovated. For parties with more than 4 adult guests, the 2 twin beds can be converted to a king upon request. Both oceanfront suites have french doors that open up onto the screened pool atrium and sun deck. Cayman Sands was thoughtfully designed to be opened up on cool winter nights when A/C isn't necessary. The oceanfront freshwater pool is protected by a screened atrium keeping local wildlife and insects at bay from ruining your stay. Optional pool heat is available in the winter months for an additional surcharge. The pool atrium comes furnished with a sectional sofa and dining table perfect for evening cocktails or outdoor dining. The view of the large sandy beach is framed by the two wings of the house, an oceanfront gazebo, and two hammocks ideal for long afternoons relaxing with a book or simply enjoying the views. An oceanfront vaulted great room floods the villa with natural light and stunning views through 30 feet of sliding glass doors. A recently upgraded kitchen offers all the modern appliances you would expect, as well as dishware, cookware, and cutlery. The living area is furnished with a wall-mounted flat-screen TV, plush couches, and a sleeper sofa for small children only. ***Bedroom & Bathroom Layout*** (Sleeps 10 adults max., 14 guests total) -- Master Suite: oceanfront, king bed, desk, ensuite bath with a walk-in shower, two sets of french doors that open up onto the screened pool atrium and sun deck. -- Queen Suite: oceanfront, queen bed, desk, ensuite bath with a walk-in shower, two sets of french doors that open up onto the screened pool atrium and sun deck. -- Twin Suite: garden views, 2 twin beds (can be converted into a king bed upon request), ensuite bath with a combination tub/shower. -- Bunk Bed Suite: garden views, 2 sets of bunk beds, ensuite bath with a combination tub/shower. -- Queen Guest Cottage: detached cottage, queen bed, kitchenette, TV, screened porch, second-story balcony, ensuite bath with a walk-in shower.

Be advised, the beach or water entry behind your property may vary slightly from the images displayed due to weather. The next-door beach is also always available for your use. ***Ocean Debris & Sargassum Seaweed*** Beaches in Grand Cayman may also experience floating ocean debris and sargassum weed seasonally. Sargassum is a generally harmless floating seaweed that has increased in frequency in recent years. Although sargassum is an unsightly nuisance, it is largely seasonal in summer. Our owners do make efforts to remove heavy sargassum and will have the beach raked prior to your arrival. Should sargassum be extremely heavy behind your property, we will reach out to the owner for alternative solutions which may include a partial refund or relocation. We try our best to work around mother nature.
