Sea Paradise # 24

Condo, 2 Bedrooms + Other, 2 Baths (Sleeps 4-6 Adults or 4 Adults and 4 Children)

Sea Lodge #24 is located directly on the beach in the North Side of Grand Cayman in the beautiful small community of Cayman Kai, a safe, secluded, tranquil, and friendly area. It is beachfront property with a beautiful multicolored sea views that goes from turquoise to deep sapphire. It is protected by a coral reef 200 yards out from shore and provides great snorkeling opportunities for beginner and avid snorkelers alike. Swimming is great in the sparkling, crystal-clear water. Our private pristine beach has beautiful sand and is great for relaxing walks. It is also ideal for reading that new book you picked up while catching a few sun rays. This is very private and peaceful location to relax. So, if you are looking for that secluded island feeling...this is your place!

Attractively furnished, two bedroom unit with Queen size beds and sofa sleepers in each bedroom with a full bath. Our sea lodge sleeps up to 8 people max. There is 1 sofa sleeper in each bedroom that can accommodate 1 Adult or 2 Children.

There is a fully equipped kitchen, outdoor Weber Grill (charcoal included) .
HD cable television, 42' LED HDTV, DVD Player w/ 70 blockbuster movies and WiFi Internet from apple airport extreme router connection, and airport express.

Air-conditioning in both bedrooms, but not often needed with the nice tropical breezes and the wonderful louver doors that open to the seaside porch. Sit and relax with your favorite beverage enjoying the ocean breeze, as you listen to the peaceful sounds of the ocean lapping on the beach.

Seaside porch is great for eating out under the stars or watching the moon rise out of the water. It is also relaxing just to sit back relax and look out at the Caribbean Sea. Star gaze and look for satellites high in the sky, or find constellations, as the skies are so clear.

Decompress with Island Beauty

Beutiful views away from the hussle and bustle of Georgetown. We went for diving but found the snorkeling right from the property was great. The only down fall was the wifi wasn't working at the time and there was some nuisance flies. We would stay here again.

Grand Cayman Vacation

This rental property was just what we were looking for. The walk to the private beach where you can snorkel close to shore or swim to the reef was terrific. It is a quiet area which is easily accessible to some great restaurants or one can cook at home too. I would highly recommend it and the owner was very attentive to our needs.

Spectacular property

This property is exactly as described with spectacular location! We spent many hours on our private beachfront screened porch. Private, clean, beautiful grounds. Beach chairs and umbrella. Beautiful reef protects shallow bay for snorkeling. Easy walk to Rum Point if you want to rent jet skis or other water sporting.

Paradise

We loved our stay. The view is incredible to wake up to everyday and we loved sitting on the screened porch. The beach is very quiet and usually empty. The beach does have seagrass and is rocky to enter but once a little past the snorkeling is lovely. We loved walking to the Kaibo espresso a few mornings and loved eating at Solis at Rum point and Kaibo. Many other restaurants are an easy 20-25 min away. Highly recommend!

Relaxing and Beautiful Stay

Our stay this past week was everything we wanted in a relaxing getaway. The Sea Lodges at Cayman Kai are a spectacular property, with a peaceful and quiet beach. Whole days went by when we were the only people on the beach. We spent time floating in the warm surf, snorkeling at the reef, and relaxing on the beach loungers. And at night we hung out in the peaceful lanai, sipping cocktails, listening to the sea, and gazing at the stars. The unit itself offered everything we needed. The beds were very comfortable, and the kitchen was well equipped. Plus the location cannot be beat. Chad made our stay easy, and I definitely recommend this place.

Fantastic but be prepared!

Our family of 4 enjoyed our 3 peaceful nights here after being on 7 mile beach the first part of our trip, but be prepared for the super rocky shoreline. You need chacos or similar to wear out into the water. We went when the water rougher but still loved snorkeling here (you probably need to be a fairly strong swimmer). We saw tons of fish, an eagle ray, sting rays and lobsters. Barbara was fantastic! She got in touch with a company last minute for us and they delivered a kayak and paddle board for a good price which I’d highly recommend doing.

Peaceful and relaxing stay

Great location, we loved how close we were to Rum Point. Nice and quiet beach area. The patio was our favorite area to relax and enjoy the view. There was minimal WIFI, we could find it in one spot near the door in the patio. We went to Rum Point for work and midterms, just 2 minutes down the road. The place could use some updates, we had the air conditioner go out in our bedroom and they called someone to fix it, they were there within the hour. Sadly, we had to wait until the next day to get a whole new unit put in. The wonderful sea breeze helped keep it cool. We did find a few children's beach toys and snorkel mask, but there was nothing adult sized to use. You will want some type of water shoes due to the amount of coral on the beach.

Amazing, quiet, nice property.

My Wife and I came here with our 2 kids (8,12) for 10 nights and it was nothing short of relaxing. The house has A/C in the bedrooms which is great! We spent most of our time at Rum Point, Kaibo or Starfish point, all are extremely close. In the mornings and evenings we spent time on the lanai enjoying the beauty. If you are looking to truly "disconnect" and spend time with your family or by yourself this is the place. We felt this side of the island is quiet, safe, with plenty to do compared to the hustle and bustle of 7 mile beach side which is exactly what we wanted out of our vacation. Rum Point is walking distance with great snorkeling or just relaxing with your favorite beverage. Solis at Rum Point opened while we were there which is a great restaurant. Chad is a great host and Barbra the property manager was extremely helpful. You can't go wrong with this property.

Love the North Side

My husband and I have been coming to Grand Cayman for 23 years, and have stayed in several different Sea Lodges! This time, we brought our daughter and another family (2 adults and 2 kids) to experience the North Side for the first time! You cannot beat the proximity to the beach at the Sea Lodges - the kids were in heaven from dawn to sunset! Most days, we had the beach to ourselves - the quiet, slow pace was just what we needed to decompress. We were surrounded by nature - from great snorkeling right in front of the Sea Lodges, to turtles nesting on the beach, and friendly local cats who always showed up right around dinner time! ;) The kids had a blast chasing lizards and crabs all over the property and beach, and even played with garden eels at low tide! The walk from the Sea Lodges to Rum Point is always a fun adventure, and never the same from one day to the next!We found the Sea Lodge unit to be clean and adequately stocked with most of the amenities we needed. The ceiling fan in one of the rooms was inoperable, but the AC unit kept the temperature pleasant. Our kids ended up sleeping in the living room with the wood slats open at night, and the cool ocean breeze kept them comfortable - I would suggest futons for the living room to add more sleeping options, especially for kiddos who love a “sleepover” feel! Overall, we were very happy with our stay at the Sea Lodge! It’s rustic and quiet - and that is what we love about the North Side!

Great stay in Rum Point

We love Rum Point and the Sea Lodges. The location can’t be beat and it’s always so quiet. This unit was quite dated, but had everything we needed including snorkel gear so we could snorkel the reef. Chad was great to work with and was very responsive always. Things to note- there is a reef right outside in the water. You don’t want to go out without fins and a floaty (the unit had both of these). There is a lot of sea grass so bring water shoes. The mosquitos are out of control - bring bug spray! If you plan on bringing your own food to the unit, stop at Hurley’s and the liquor store next door to it on your way from the airport. We ate at Tukka’s East End one night and it was delicious. If you stay at this property don’t expect a 5 star posh resort. You will get an old, quaint little condo that makes you want to slow down and take it all in!!

experience

We stayed at this property at the end of June into first week of July. It is a very hot and humid time on Cayman 95F and high humidity. The unit has A/C in the bedrooms but not in the living room/kitchen area. The back patio is screened in but has no shade at all and not usable in the sun at these temps without shade. The beach is very close, 30 sec walk but covered in sea grass. The water is also full with sea grass for 100 yards out before clearing up, since the water is very shallow it is not pleasant at all to go swimming as you have to walk through it for a long time. This seams to be the case for most beaches on Grand Cayman with the exception of 7 mile beach. I can see this location to be nice in some cooler weather earlier in the year, but considering the above and pricing for accommodation at 7 mile beach we will seek out other Caribbean islands in the future. My two cents.

Peaceful and relaxing

If you're looking for something off the beaten path that is right on a beach then look no further! My family and I absolutely loved the property and location. It's quiet, clean and comfortable, but not some fancy or modern condo. If you're into snorkeling, there's an awesome reef out front about 150 to 200 yards out in reasonably shallow water. If you've never snorkeled before, you at least owe it to yourself to put your face in the water right at the beaches edge. There's a coral/cement formation about 10 feet out in 4 feet of water that has an absolute ton of different species of fish. The "mini" reef is right in front of the closest beach umbrella/hut. Sergeant majors, gobies, angelfish, damselfish, flounders, etc. There's even a spiny lobster living in one of the conch shells. If you're patient, you'll no doubt see schools of fish that wander up and down the shoreline. I even saw a juvenile Barracuda 50 feet farther down the beach. Chad was very pleasant to deal with for booking and we had absolutely no issues, even when we slightly modified our dates. If I had to nitpick, the beach isn't some stretch of sand that goes on forever, just a couple hundred feet. If taking a long walk on the beach is your thing, you'll have to do laps back and forth. Rum point was nice, but the whole island is still rebuilding from the most recent hurricane, so expect plenty of construction and clean up. We would stay here again in an instant as would our vacation buddies!
