About this property

Cayman Reef Resort 56 - The Sandcastle

Nothing can compare to the white powder sand and the crystal-clear waters. Fully renovated, our personal home away from home, top of the line finishes sure to meet everyone's expectations. You & your guests will love your stay in this fantastic two-level vacation home. Two screened lanais, lower with electric BBQ and outdoor dining and upper with an outdoor lounge area. This 3-bedroom and 2-bath unit has used exclusively Serta iComfort therapeutic mattresses paired with Pacific Coast duvets and pillows to ensure a restful sleep on any of the four beds. The main bedroom has a king bed with ensuite privileges with the upper bathroom. The secondary bedroom has a queen bed. And the third bedroom has a bunk bed with a single over double setup. Ceiling fans in every room and both patios plus the largest residential AC unit available that is professional maintained are sure to keep everyone comfortable. This unit also has a whole home dehumidifier setup to help manage the Caribbean humidity when needed. We provide all linens and towels, including beach towels. Plus, we have in-suite laundry when you need to freshen up the towels during your short or extended stay. Demand hot water means you will never run out of hot water. Smart TVs to entertain when needed, and free WiFi plus a computer desk with a large screen and peripherals to allow you to connect to and create a dedicated mini office if this helps you stretch your stay a bit longer. Telephone system has both a local line for making reservations and a second line for calling the USA or Canada for free. The kitchen has everything and more you could want in a kitchen. We have outfitted the kitchen with virtually every want, from Vitamix blender, Keurig coffee maker to a full line of Cuisinart small appliances.

Relax in the sun, play in the sand, or swim in the ocean, Grand Cayman truly is a paradise. This condo is situated in the heart of it all, between the Ritz and the Marriott, you will be walking distance to two grocery stores, restaurants and the new Camana Bay Shops. Luxury On The Beach at 56 Cayman Reef Resort otherwise known as The Sandcastle.

This condo is not ideal for younger children. This condo is our personal home away from home and as we have three of our own children, they are now young adults and the furnishings and items in the condo cater to young adults and older.

If you have not been to the island in the last year, we want to share an important aspect of our coastal landscape with you. Due to the ebb and flow of beach erosion, our beloved shoreline has transformed into a smaller beach, detached from the busy part of SMB. Occasionally, the water may approach our seawall when the waves are active, providing a unique and captivating view of the ocean's rhythmic dance. Loungers & umbrellas are set up ocean side or beach front as Mother Nature permits as seen in the pictures listed.

We stayed at Marc's property for 4 nights and would highly to recommend. Enough space for the 5 of us to be comfortable. We had all the comforts of home and if not, everything was pretty much a short walk away. Thanks for sharing your amazing space in paradise!

Went down for some diving and snorkeling. Great location in the heart of 7 mile; walk to a lot of places. Place was clean and well furnished with beach towels, umbrellas, etc. Both beach and pool were great and no saving of beach chairs was great. Super communication with the owner on the condo features.

Perfect Condo
This property was perfect for our family that included two teens. The beach was a few steps away and very private and walking distance to the grocery store and a few little shops right across the street. The weather did not cooperate for us on this trip so it was nice to have the space in this condo. The owner has fully appointed the condo with everything you could possibly need and was immaculate. They even reached out to us upon arrival to make sure we had everything we needed. Highly recommend and would without a doubt stay here again.

Summer Vacation
The Sand Castle condo at Cayman Reef Resort was absolutely perfect for our family vacation! It was very clean and updated with plenty of room to rest, relax and enjoy! The property itself was beautifully manicured and the pool was beautiful and clean as well. The location was near wonderful restaurants within driving or walking distance. We even had a chef come to our condo to cook for us one evening and he had plenty of room in the kitchen. It was a perfect condo for our family!!

Great Unit in a Great Location
This is one of the few worry free places you can rent. The unit was impeccably clean, stocked well with towels, kitchen appliances, sheets, umbrellas, paddle board and child essentials (Gracco pack-n-play sleeper). Also wifi and TV were easy to setup and use. And the AC works great (just read the instructions, because opening a window or door will reset the smart monitor for it). The resort over all is perfectly located for food and access to Camana Bay. About 15 feet from the road entrance is a protected cross walk that leads directly to the Camana Bay Risen Footpath (allows you walk over traffic). There you can easily find restaurants, liquor stores, and Foster's grocery store. A little south of the resort are some other good restaurants for fast options (burgers, kabobs, ice cream, etc.). The pool and facilities in the resort are also great. The staff there is constantly attending to them and keeping the grounds clean. The only point a repeat traveler should note is that the beach and water is clearer and has less rocks further north on Seven Mile. If you are coming with a large group, and particularly kids, this is an amazing place. And we'd stay again. But we'll also use some days to go north a bit (e.g., rent a bird cage at Westin) to get the clearer, rock-free beach experience. Other than that our large family loved the place.

Excellent host/Great Property
This condo is amazing. It is in a perfect location on the 7 mile beach and close to shopping. We had great snorkeling right off the beach. It is equipped with more than just the necessities. This condo was Immaculate, comfortable and well appointed. Before you go, you will receive a packet of information on the amenities and how to use them. I printed this and read it on the plane. It was of great help b/c I understood how to work the A/C, the wifi and the sound system. The host/owners were easy to communicate with and very helpful. I felt comfortable reaching out if I needed to. We had no worries and had a great vacation! We always had a chair and an umbrella. Thank you so much for having such a great place to stay.

Excellent 3BR property
Unit was very clean, owner was extremely prompt in all communication, unit had many baby friendly and kid friendly features (car seats, high chair, pack n play, sand toys, games). All the kitchen utensils/ gadgets you could ask for and nicer quality than my own house. Marc was also able to help me arrange for a babysitter who helped us out all week. The beach is beautiful and all the other guests at the complex were very friendly. Convenient parking. Well kept grounds. We will be back!

Exquisite property. Exemplary host.
We have stayed in several of Marc Hubert's properties at the Cayman Reef Resort during the last decade. This particular property, #56, is the most luxurious. As foodies, we are particularly interested in the contents of the kitchen-appliances, knives, table settings, etc. This condo has everything we need for our cooking needs. But most importantly, Marc is an extraordinarily conscientious landlord. When we arrive at one of his condos, we can expect a call from him asking if everything is OK. You can't go wrong with this property, or any of the others Marc rents at the Cayman Reef Resort.

Property was well maintained everybody we spoke with was friendly and helpful.
The condo is very tastefully done, high end quality appliances, cookware, furniture, and very comfortable. Location is great. Our party of 6 had plenty of room without being right on top of one another. We had everything we needed. Took advantage of having kayaks and snorkel gear, the beach was perfect. Camana Bay is close enough for a great walk and perfect for evening relaxation. Tuesday evening they offer a free movie on the Bay with vendors for popcorn, ect. Perfect for kids.

This is our third trip to Cayman Reef Resort and our stay was just as good as the first. The condo and amenities are just what you see the pictures. Everything is clean and up-to-date. The proximity to the beach is perfect - a very short walk to an incredible beach. Marc, the owner of the condo, is very easy to work with as well as to get in touch with.

Excellent Stay on Grand Cayman
We have used Home Away for several vacations around the country, but none equal the 3 bedroom unit we had the pleasure of staying in here at Cayman Reef Resort. We have made several trips to Cayman over the past 40 years and this unit was the best unit we have stayed in. The owner Marc made it very easy and accommodating with his constant communication. The unit was in a great location and very clean and neat, and furnished with everything we needed from towels, kitchen wares etc. We will be requesting to stay in this unit whenever we return.

A great stay on Grand Cayman
My wife and I arrived on Grand Cayman on Apr 23rd and again rented from the same owners that we have rented from in the past. We rented one of their 1-BR condos last year and after having a great experience, we decided to rent their 3-BR unit for this visit. We were extremely pleased to have rented from them again - the cleanliness, furnishings, appliances and information on making our stay enjoyable were just as outstanding on this visit, as our previous visit. Marc (and Monique) have figured out what it takes to be great owners of holiday rentals better than anyone and have done all that is needed to make guests' stays pleasurable, worry-free and comfortable. There was nothing missing in our condo, with perhaps one minor thing (see below) that I wish we had that wasn't already provided. Prior to our arrival, Marc made the rental and payment process a snap, and he replied promptly and completely to any questions we had prior to our arrival. Inside the condo, he also has two binders that answered any questions you have during your stay. One binder contained info on the condo itself while the 2nd binder contained all the owner's manuals for appliances. Posted in each room was a room-specific page detailing what could be found in each room as well as helpful hints on how to operate whatever appliances, thermostats, TVs, etc. were in the room. Upon arrival, Marc called to ensure that we arrived safely, that we were comfortably settled in, and if there were any questions we had. Everything in the condo worked flawlessly, whether it was the TVs, full-sized washer & dryer or any of the many appliances in the kitchen. There were plenty of TV stations available, a sound system that could pipe music throughout the condo or to selected rooms and was fully air-conditioned with ceiling fans in all rooms. The wireless network worked flawlessly and for your convenience, there is a PC, printer and fax machine provided. While not oceanfront, the condo overlooked the seldom-used resort pool from its 2 screened lanais. Seven Mile Beach is a minute or so walk from the unit. If you have never visited Grand Cayman, SMB is one of the prettiest beaches in the Caribbean (or beyond) with crystal-clear, warm water and an enjoyable place to take endless strolls each day. The only issue that we had was the TV in the MBR was Internet-only. We wished this TV could also show standard broadcast channels. We would definitely rent from Marc again! A+++++++

About the host

Host profile image
We live in Canada and it can get cold. We take every opportunity we can to come visit the Cayman Islands. With three children, and technically adults now, it has always and still is relaxing to know everyone will be safe. We started with one condo and soon found ourselves adding a few more. What started as a hobby, has quickly become a small business and now leads to our full-time jobs, and as such we treat our units as a business and our guests as our best clients. With opportunities to purchase in different parts of the island, we keep coming back to this resort as it checks all the boxes. With over five hundred 5 star reviews, attention to detail is what best sums up our motto.

Why they chose this property

Our location is the best location on the island. We are 10 min from the airport, and the resort is directly on the beach and within walking distance to anything and everything you need or want.

What makes this property unique

Cayman Reef Resort 56 - The Sandcastle is a 3bed/2bath condo on Seven Mile Beach walking distance to two grocery stores and many restaurants.
