Summary:
The Mastic Chapel Cottage is a unique 2 bedroom, 2 bath ground floor retreat set on an 11 acre private estate along the Cayman Mastic Trail on Grand Cayman’s North Side.
This historic style chapel cottage blends modern comforts with old world charm—think vaulted ceilings, stained glass arched windows, and natural stone from the property itself.
With its own private beach entry pool, lush surroundings, and access to nearby sister cottages, it’s an intimate, nature immersed escape ideal for two couples or families with older children.
The Space:
2 Bedrooms | 2 Bathrooms | Sleeps 4
EXPERIENCE. EXPLORE. ESCAPE.
Chapel Cottage at Mastic Cottages offers a one of a kind stay that combines history, design, and nature. Vaulted ceilings, natural stone, and historic stained glass from Keokuk, Iowa (crafted by Kokomo Glass in the late 1800s) give the space a distinctive character, while modern amenities keep it comfortable and easy to live in. A highlight of the property is the private sand entry pool, with a maximum depth of 4 feet, creating a shallow, beach like oasis just outside your door.
MAIN COTTAGE ACCOMMODATION
The main ground floor cottage is designed for relaxed, open concept living with easy flow between social spaces.
• Spacious open plan living, dining, and kitchen area
• Large primary suite with king size bed and generous ensuite bathroom
• Living room with two sofas and a smart projection TV—perfect for movie nights
• Modern, fully equipped kitchen with stainless steel appliances and a wine cooler
SEPARATE COTTAGE ACCOMMODATION
Just beside the main cottage, a smaller detached cottage adds privacy and flexibility.
• Queen size bed
• Flat screen smart TV
• Ensuite bathroom with large walk in shower
• Located next to the pool (better suited to couples or older children; not ideal for very small children who need constant supervision)
The overall layout is fantastic for two couples who want both privacy and shared spaces, or families with older kids who enjoy having their own “mini cottage.”

WHO THIS SUITS
The Mastic Chapel Cottage is especially well suited to:
• Two couples who want separate sleeping spaces (main cottage + chapel cottage) and a shared pool and living area
• Families with older children or teens who enjoy a bit of independence and unique spaces (separate cottage by the pool)
• Nature lovers and hikers who want to be immersed in greenery, birdlife, and the Mastic Trail area rather than on a busy beach strip
• Guests seeking a quiet, private, and character rich base for exploring North Side, East End, and the more untouched side of Grand Cayman
