The Cayman Kai Cove is home to the island’s famous Bioluminescent Bay. Kayaks and paddleboards are available for discounted rent, and guests can launch off the villa’s private beachfront or private dock.
The cove water is shallow with a soft bottom, so recreational swimming and snorkeling are best enjoyed up the street at the Rum Point Club, just a 5-minute walk north. There you will also find water sport activities from wave runners to guided dives, plus a restaurant, beach bar & grill, and a gift shop. Combined with its central location on the Cayman Kai peninsula, walkable to water activities, family-friendly restaurants at The Kaibo and Rum Point Club, and laid-back beach bars, this island getaway is sure to become a fan favorite.

Confirmed guests will receive a promo code good for 20% off car rentals with Budget Cayman.
**Day Tripping***
Cayman Ferries operates daily water taxis departing from the Kaibo Marina to Camana Bay. Perfect for day trips to Seven Mile Beach or shopping excursions at Camana Bay. Download their app to purchase your tickets in advance. Just be sure to make it back for the return voyage across the sound!
***Villa Cleaning & Sanitation***
All villas are cleaned and sanitized before each guest's arrival. We also ask our owners to provide a starter supply of extra cleaning products. Additional housekeeping services can be purchased after booking in 3-hour time blocks. Scheduling may be coordinated with your property manager upon arrival.
***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 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.
