***Property Description***
Welcome to Kai Kotch, a 2-level townhome with comfortable, island-style furnishings in beautiful Cayman Kai. This location is worlds away from the hustle and bustle of Seven Mile Beach and offers waterfront views, walking access to popular beaches, plus multiple beach bars, restaurants, and watersports.
Kai Kotch overlooks a sandy beachfront and the clear, calm waters of the island's Bioluminescent Bay. A large communal swimming pool and sundeck sit just 100 feet away perfect for lazy days under the sun.
For thrill-seekers, a fleet of complimentary water toys--2 tandem kayaks, 2 single kayaks, 2 paddleboards, and a 2-person pedal boat--are provided during your stay. With the Bioluminescent Bay right outside your door, you can take your own "bio-tour" of the bay and watch the waters glow after dark!
The ground floor features an open-concept design allowing the living and dining areas to flow onto the screened 2-story atrium. The screened atrium is the heart of the home with water views, lounge seating, and alfresco, bug-free dining. High-speed wifi and air-conditioning throughout the home will keep you cool and connected during your stay.
The fully equipped kitchen boasts stainless steel appliances, a dishwasher, and small appliances. The owner also provides plenty of outdoor chairs and a charcoal grill for cookouts by the cove.

***Getting Around***
A rental car is highly recommended. Taxi cabs are unreliable and expensive outside of town and Seven Mile Beach. Plus, there is no Uber or Lyft on the island. For rental cars, we recommend Budget Cayman, Avis, or Marshalls. Confirmed guests will receive a promo code after booking for 20% off a rental car with Budget Cayman.
***Nearby Beaches***
The Rum Point Club is the area's big draw and easily one of the best beachfront destinations outside of Seven Mile Beach. In addition to a barefoot beach experience, you'll find food + drinks, excellent snorkeling, watersports rentals, and charter excursions for a true island experience.
For a more remote beach vibe, head south to Starfish Point. The sunsets there are phenomenal. However, please be mindful not to disturb the starfish or leave any litter behind.
***Nearby Dining***
There are three dining destinations within walking distance: Solis at Rum Point Club, Blue Flame at Rum Point Resort, and the Kaibo.
Located a short walk across the street, Solis is open for lunch, dinner, and cocktails in a casual open-air beachfront setting. Confirmed guests save 10% off food + drinks with their Guest Membership card distributed at check-in in our Welcome Center.
The Rum Point Resort's newly re-opened signature restaurant Blue Flame is open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Reservations for non-resort guests are highly encouraged.
A little further south you'll find two distinct dining experiences at Kaibo: the Beach Bar & Grill for casual dining, and Upstairs for gourmet dining. Beach Bar & Grill guests can dine on the beach, or order takeout including pizzas, burgers, and more. Reservations for Upstairs are encouraged for a night of culinary excellence. The Kaibo also includes a cafe, Kaibo Espresso, to jumpstart your day with coffee, tea, plus pastries and breakfast wraps.
***About Bio Bay***
These nine clusters of 2-story townhomes sit staggered along the water's edge with a shared community freshwater pool overlooking the island's Bioluminescent Bay.
Famous for its glowing nighttime waters, Bio Bay is a phenomenon not to be missed especially on moonless nights. Explore at your own pace or book a guided tour with our friends at Cayman Kayaks and Sweet Spot Watersports.
While Bio Bay is ideal for kayaking and paddleboarding, it is not ideal for swimming due to its soft muddy bottom. For a barefoot beach experience with great food and tropical drinks, head across the street to the new Rum Point Club.
***Beach Notes***
All beaches in Grand Cayman are technically public since the Crown owns up to the high watermark. Be advised, the beach or water entry behind your property may vary slightly from the images displayed due to shifting weather and tide patterns. The next-door beach is also always available for your use. We advise guests to wear foot protection (pool socks or aqua shoes) when entering the ocean to avoid injury on coral heads, ironshore, or rocks.
***Ocean Debris & Sargassum Seaweed***
Beaches in Grand Cayman may also experience floating ocean debris and sargassum seasonally. Sargassum is a harmless floating seaweed that has increased in frequency in recent years.
Sargassum RARELY is an issue at the Island Houses.
