The crystal clear turquoise water, lush tropical vegetation and dramatic sunsets are all part of the backdrop for this tropical paradise. There is something for everyone whether you enjoy relaxing under a thatched hut in a chaise lounge reading your favorite book or snorkeling directly in front of the condo amongst the beautiful coral reefs. The condo overlooks the Bonnie's Arch dive site, on the island's Northwest point. There are dive operations approximately 1/2 mile from condo. There is access to Bonnie's Arch dive site and Wall Dives directly from property. There are also many places from which to snorkel directly from the various beaches as the reef is very close all around the island. Just pick a spot and it’s a short swim to some of the best reefs in the world

It’s only 12 minutes from Owen Roberts International airport, less than 5 minutes to popular Cemetery Beach and reef at the north end of exquisite 7 Mile Beach, 2 minutes to Hell, instant snorkeling, and a very short 5 minute swim to world-class reef diving that is immediately offshore from the townhouse, only a 10 minute swim to the WALL! You can also book a dive/snorkel package to Sting Ray City, a unique day trip where you can view the reef and swim with 100’s of Stingrays.

Exactly as advertised

The property was exactly as advertised. Easy to locate and check in was easy. The pool outside the patio door gave us options to keep the kids entertained in between activities. The location was only minutes from attractions and a short drive to the yacht club/boat docks where the you’re started. No complaints here.

Great stay in Grand Cayman!

The perfect spot for our stay! We came down for a week of diving. This condo is the perfect location for nearby dive adventures. It is very clean, well stocked, and comfy beds. We enjoyed afternoons poolside after a daily dives, the refreshing pool, and evening sunsets along the shoreline. This is a very well maintained quiet smaller complex that would be great for friends, couples or families. The owners were very helpful in planning our stay and providing recommendations and answering questions during our stay. They helped us find a great dive service for the week . Highly recommend

A great place to stay for our return trip!!

This was our first time back on island since Covid and selling our condo. We have driven past these condos for years and never paid attention to them. It was such a great spot and perfect for our family. We love the iron shore and my husband and daughters went snorkeling & saw a nurse shark. The grounds are simple, nice, and very well kept! Our codo was great and had plenty of room and conveniences!!! We loved our stay and are hosts were wonderful and very accommodating! will be back!

We would not recommend this property

This condo is in need of repair. The drawer face in the bathroom came off in our hand the kitchen cupboards doors are falling off. The real issue is the entire place kitchen and bathroom are full of owners contents. The bedding was worn and old, we found other sheets to make the bed. The kitchen garbage cupboard was filthy. We kept everything in our suitcases as we would not find our belongings in the clutter. We had the opportunity to see the next unit to ours when the owners were there and it was clear of personal contents and would have been an ideal place to stay. The renters earlier in the next unit also indicated that the presentation was not clear there was no beach. If you hadn’t been to Cayman you would not know this unless it was indicated in the advertisement. The grounds and pool were fantastic and the other owners friendly.

Wanted to stay..............forever!

My husband and I just returned from a six night stay at this lovely condo in Bonnie's Arch. Mike and Donna are a pleasure to work with in booking your trip and giving you all the info you need to have a wonderful stay in the Islands. This is our third trip to Grand Cayman but our second trip where we stayed in this condo in Bonnies Arch. When we go back next year we plan to stay here again as it is just lovely. Very well furnished and outfitted with everything you can think of. It is so well decorated and well stocked with all things that you will need. The pool is literally right out of the sliding glass door and because this unit is on the first floor, the pool is easily accessed. The location of the condo is perfect as it is not in the hectic hub area of Seven Mile Beach, - which is great, because it is so quiet and peaceful here. Perfect for relaxing, decompressing, and just chilling out. Then when you want to be in the thick of it all, just jump in your rented car and drive a couple of miles and you are there. Renting a car is a must really as you can get around so easily. But if you do not rent a car, I would suggest taking the Public Bus vans rather than a taxi as it is much more cost effective. A perfect spot on a perfect island making for a perfect vacation!

Living large in Westbay, Grand Cayman

We spent 10 wonderful days on the island, staying at the Bonnie Arch condo of Mike & Donna's. The photos don't lie....was spectacular and all the comforts & more of home without the stress. Being over 55, my wife and I enjoyed the easy access, poolside patio, parking within spitting distance...etc. We highly recommend this property and in particular the gracious owners who made our stay so accommodating. Thanks again and again, Mike & Donna

Wonderful Well Equipped Condo

I just wanted to let you know how much we loved staying at your condo. The condo was equipped with everything we could possibly need. The weather was perfect - a couple of stray showers but no big storms, and the snorkeling was awesome. We snorkeled at 4 locations around the island, and I have to say that we enjoyed the location right in our backyard the best. The water was so crystal clear and the fish and coral were amazing. We did see one lion fish, but we hope they can be eradicated. Having access to wifi was a huge benefit. We really appreciated being able to use the internet without paying for data. The decorations in the condo kept us entertained the whole time - everywhere we looked we saw something new. It really was fun.

Great location!!

We were fortunate to stay on Grand Cayman for 8 days. The island gets busy, especially by George Town and 7 Mile beach. This was the perfect spot/location to be a little "away" from the island traffic. The condo was wonderful, Mike and Donna were great to work with and were very responsive! There is not beach in front of the condo, but it makes you get out and explore the island! There is a beach about 1 mile down the road that was perfect and not crowded at all. There are some great restaurants up the road as well which were fabulous. You would need to rent a car, in my opinion, if you stay here. But it is 100% worth it if you want to do a little exploring of the island. We toured the whole island and although there were some great locations on the island, I would hands down stay at this condo again. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

Pure Bliss!

First time to Grand Cayman Island and discovering Bonnie's Arch and the owners of this unit all made for a picture perfect vacation. It is everything and more as outlined by the owners. The condo is in pristine condition - and the owners have thought of everything a guest could want. Comfortable, clean, bright and cheery are just a few words to describe this delightful rental. The beach décor adds so much to its charm. Your suitcase and a trip to the supermarket is all that is needed once settled in for a stay that is sure to please. Whether enjoying the sparkling pool just steps from the porch to watching the boating activity from the porch, to diving from the dive ladder steps away, it is peaceful, tucked away (yet easily accessible to everything). Guests will find that whatever activity level they want can be achieved - from a week of exploring the island, diving daily (so many options) or simply chilling out and taking in the sights and sounds under the sun and stars, it meets many needs.

Perfect Place to enjoy Grand Cayman

After several previous hotel stays on Grand Cayman, we decided to try renting a condo this time and couldn't be happier that we did! The owner was a pleasure to work with, was very easy to work out trip details via email. The owner happened to be present on our arrival and very generously spent some time helping us through an issue unrelated to the condo. Condo: very, very clean. Comfortably slept 4 adults and has well appointed kitchen and living area. Saved big bucks eating breakfast and lunch at condo. Supermarket very close by. Tastefully decorated. Location: Great location, close to restaurants, beaches, snorkeling, diving. The ability to walk 15 steps to the car to go out to eat as opposed to eating at the same overpriced hotel restaurant every night or dealing with the hassles of valet parking was a big plus for me! Pool: nice clean pool area Diving: Boat dove with local dive shop (Dive Tech, very close by and first class operation!). Also shore dove Bonnie's Arch accessible from shore at condo complex. Incredible site! Owner had collection of local restaurant menus available which was really helpful. Had great meals everywhere we went. Couldn't recommend this condo highly enough!

Very enjoyable stay!

This unit is very comfortable, clean, well stocked, & in a great location. It is a 1 minute drive to the NW point dock that many dive operators use & just a few minutes to the heart of the 7 mile beach. Complex is small & quiet & everyone encountered around the pool was fun & quick with recommendations for dinner spots or activities. Owner Mike is helpful & very easy to deal with.

Great location, great accomodations...

Having been on GCI more than 15 times, I was familiar with the location of the condo...and the Tibbets Highway made it an easy drive from the airport. Condo is 20 ft, from the pool, and about 50 yds from the ironshore (no beach, just in case you didn't know) and the entry/exit points to the sea. The aluminum ladder is fairly heavy...I'd recommend you have another to get it installed if you want to dive or snorkel off the condo. The wall sites are witin easy reach...about 150 yds, and Bonnies Arch is closer (and shallower...about 75 yds just to the NW...moorings are all easy to see. We had a windy five days, so couldn't get in/out there, but got some good diving and snorkeling in up around the Cracked Conch (great food/service/atmosphere right on the water, by the turtle farm, and also dove the North Wall (Babylon) one day on our round the island tour. My wife did the dolphin encounter thing (also right by the turtle farm)....she loved it, so I was happy! Be aware that if you want to dive, there are only a few operations that willl let you rent tanks and weights and take them offsite, and none of the onsite shops will allow solo diving...you'll have to find a buddy or pay a guide. Or you can just go somewhere there is no on-site facility, jump in with a rented tank...and have your own private ocean...which I did. Condo is set up great for four people, kitchen is well appointed for cooking ('frig has a nice icemaker). All in all it was a great stay. I also highly recommend you DO NOT arrive after noon on a Saturday....LOTS of arriving flights, and the customs/immigration people, as well as the rental car companies get overwhelmed.....and slow! Mike, the owner, was very helpful with answering any questions I had in the rental process.

Great Location / Superb Amenities in Condo

Just returned from a perfect week in Grand Cayman. Unbelievable beauty on the Island. Loved the location of the condo. Minutes from all attractions with the benefit of privacy and quiet serenity at this location. Very nice and well maintained property, pool, grounds. This unit has wifi, which was important to us and is furnished with top grade appliances, cookware, a beautiful spa type master bathroom, and more. Owners made every effort to insure our first visit to Grand Cayman was spectacular. Thanks Mike and Donna for the complete Restaurant Guide which we referred to for every meal out and for answering all our questions and more. We will definitely return to this very unit. No need to look further. Best location / numerous amenities / helpful and caring owners. Thanks for making it such a special vacation.

A Bonnie's Arch Gem!

We absolutely loved the place. A perfect setting for us with all of the amenities that we needed. We liked the location (away from Georgetown and 7 Mile Beach, but yet just a short drive away). My wife wished that there was a closer beach to walk on, but I reminded her that was something to sacrifice with the GREAT rental rate. Many, many great restaurants (Calypso Grill was our fav) and pretty good snorkelling, although the clarity wasn't the best because of the wind churning things up. All in all, a great place and great vacation. Thanks Mike for all of your help with my questions prior to arrival.

Great place to stay.

This was our first visit to Grand Cayman and we had a wonderful time. The condo was exactly as described and we couldn’t have asked for more. It was clean, organized, well furnished, and the neighbors were helpful and welcoming. We were a short drive to the Seven Mile Beach area, but far enough away to feel secluded when we wanted to enjoy a quiet evening watching the sun set. We did rent a car for our stay and were glad that we did. Thanks for sharing your condo with us. We still have several destinations on our “bucket list”, but if we return to Grand Cayman we would love to stay at Bonnie’s Arch again.

About the host

Hosted by Owner/Property Manager

Why they chose this property

We chose this condo because of it's location and view. It's just north of Seven Mile Beach which means its only a few minutes to get to the shops and restaurants but it's in a very quiet part of the Island. From the patio you can see all the way down seven mile beach into Georgetown. We are also a few minutes away from Cemetery Beach which is our favorite beach on the island with great snorkeling. A great blend of convenience and seclusion.

What makes this property unique

Literally only a few steps to the pool. This is one of the few properties on Grand Cayman with direct access to the ocean which makes shore dives a breeze. There are great snorkel/dive sites within a 5 minute swim. There is a tennis court in the front of the unit as well.
