About this property

Beachfront Bliss! Rum Point water views from the top floor - 7th Night Free

Get away from it all at 'Rum and Kai', located at the Retreat in Rum Point. This beach front 1 bedroom condo is located in the stunning upscale vacation home enclave of Cayman Kai on beautiful Grand Cayman.

Completely renovated, this 3rd floor unit is fully equipped with everything you will need for a relaxing beach front vacation. The unit is tastefully decorated with high-end furnishings and the finest linens; all in an understated, yet elegant tropical West Indies motif.

Thankfully, the construction on the neighboring condo project was finally completed in Fall 2019 and the peace and serenity once enjoyed from our lanai has again returned.

With a new industry standard cleaning process now in place, you can visit assured knowing our unit has been thoroughly cleaned and disinfected between guests.

Featuring breathtaking beach and ocean views from the fully screened lanai and just steps from both the quiet pool and sandy white beach (fantastic for both swimming and snorkeling). The beach features both Palm and Casuarina trees for ample shade. Rum and Kai is the perfect size (1,039 sq. ft) for couples or a small family looking for a truly stress-free beach holiday.

Within walking distance to a pier, you are just minutes from the famous Sting Ray City and Cayman's renowned North Wall, also making Rum & Kai an ideal base for a Dive vacation.

With a king size bed, queen size sofa bed and twin airbed, Rum and Kai provides ample sleeping options. The fully equipped kitchen and available BBQ grills makes dining-in as easy as if you are home. But, since you are on vacation there are numerous restaurants located nearby for you to enjoy.

In the unlikely event the weather forces you inside, you will appreciate the entertainment center featuring a large screen HDTV, Premium Cable, and an Amazon Fire Stick for streaming your favourite shows and movies. Classic board games and playing cards are also provided.

Conveniently next door is the popular Rum Point Club, featuring: restaurants, the Wreck bar, gift shop, water sports and snorkel rentals, dive shop and Sting Ray City trips (The Club complex is closed for remodeling as of 9/20).

The low density complex's amenities include: 1,200 feet of white sandy beach on the ocean (not some lagoon), pool, tennis court, fitness center, and views of the most amazing shades of blue the ocean can offer.

If your ideal beach vacation is to completely decompress by lounging or reading the day away on an empty beach (in the sun or shade); going for a dip or snorkel in the amazing water of the Caribbean; getting up for a bite to eat or to grab a drink; taking short day trips to see the sights; cooling off by the pool; ending the day by watching the sunset from the comfort of your lounge chairs; cooking in or dining out; then Rum & Kai at the Retreat may just be the place for you.

Far enough from everything you want to leave behind, yet close to everything you could need for a truly relaxing beach holiday.

Like staying at a friend/family’s place

What a great place - the view as soon as you walk in the door is spectacular - this condo is very spacious for a 1 bedroom. Kitchen fully equipped with extras. Beach is very nice and we had no problem getting chairs. Rum Point Club is right next door and so is Red Sail Sports. It was like staying at a friend’s place for a long weekend - there was snorkel gear / beach chairs / beach umbrella / cooler …. All to use if we wanted to travel to a public beach like Smith’s Cove or take with us to Star Fish Point. Thank you for sharing your lovely condo - we will be looking to rebook soon.

Family time

We enjoyed this location and how quiet it was. We used the balcony a lot for relaxing and having the chaise lounge chairs made it so comfortable. We ate in most of our trip and the kitchen had everything you could need. It was great to have so many recommendations from owners and we went on many day trips around the island. Owners provided a nice soft cooler, water jugs, chairs and umbrella which were all very necessary at the beach. We hope to come back some day.

Beautiful View

The condo is fully stocked, super clean, and beautifully decorated. It was perfect for the two of us. Our favorite place to drink coffee in the morning and rum in the evening was the lanai. The lanai is better than the photos - beautiful furnishings and view. Also, we made good use of the snorkeling reference books the hosts supplied. Very much appreciated.

Awesome vacation

This was our 2nd stay at this condo. It was perfect for the 2 of us. Super clean, awesome 3rd floor ocean view, decor is very nice, bed was comfortable, fully stocked kitchen, easy check in, great book of suggestions of things to do/ places to eat, and great hosts! Highly recommend staying here. Rum Point is still under some construction as of March 2023, but the beach area is good and the snorkeling was great. They have food and drinks available. We saw sea turtles at the end of the pier for the fist time. We also saw some sting rays.

Lovely, quiet stay at Rum Point

The location in Rum point is great. Close to restaurants and a small grocery store. The space was better than described and better than the photos. The furniture and home decor was very nice and updated. The unit had everything we needed plus more. The pool is a plus and the beach was beautiful.

5 star review

The view was amazing, the unit was very well stocked. We had an issue with the bed and it was handled so well. I would suggest removing the url at the bottom of the page of snorkeling spots because I think it has been corrupted. I ended up with some unwanted phone messages after punching it in. I hoghly tecommend this place if you want a little quieter experience.

Can't wait to come back!

We loved this place! It was clean and comfortable and very well stocked, with a lovely view of the ocean. We felt right at home from the minute we walked in the door. The surrounding property was very well maintained, the beach out front was lovely and the nearby snorkeling was incredible. Plus, Matt and Tracey were great about providing lots of useful information and answering all of our questions in the lead up to the trip. We truly can't wait to come back!

Great place for getting away

The unit is extremely well stocked from wine openers to cutlery, towels , paper products, beach chairs , coolers , on and on. The owners have done an excellent job to make “no worries “ be the time one can spend here. We loved the beach view from the Lanai, spent breakfast and evening out there every day . The retreat is a very well run community, maintenance was out every day quietly keeping the area very clean . We had a issue with the lanai screens due to high winds , they were on top of it before we could report it . Excellent property management! The beach area is one of our favorite places for vacation, awesome sunsets, beautiful sand beach , there is a rock line near shore for easy snorkeling even for beginners, water is shallow so one can stand up . The Rum point Club is next door for food and beverage, Kaibo is a short drive away and Starfish point is a short drive as well. We hope to stay here again , excellent condo and we love the north side location. Thanks for sharing your property!!

This place is by far the best I have ever stayed in. It has absolutely everything you need, from beach gear right down to measuring spoons in the kitchen. I felt very much at home which made my vacation one of the best I've had.. Its clean and safe and perfectly located. I cannot recommend this more.

First time to use VRBO and this condo was excellent.

Great owners keep this place well-mantained. More beautiful than pictures. Great location and morning coffee on the lanai is so peaceful watching and listening to the ocean. Easy nearby access to kayaking bio illumininescence tour- highly recommended. Snorkel right out your condo to see beautiful fish, conch and sting ray. We drove over to 7 mile beach and although pretty we are so glad we stayed in a more quiet side of the island. We will recommend this place to all our friends and family.

Great place

This place was perfect for two of us! Right near the beach so snorkeling was easy! Perfect distance from Rum point so easy meals and drinks if you don’t want to drive for the day. The house was clean and stocked and very accommodating. Had a book with all the information you needed for eating, groceries, sites to visit and even snorkeling details! So helpful! The new building is almost done so the construction noise wasn’t terrible and it was only during the day when we were at the beach or running around so we weren’t affected although it does obstruct the view of one side of the ocean that was once there but that wasn’t a problem since it was only a short walk to the beach to get all the views! Great place for a couple to get away and enjoy the relaxing vibe of the rum point side of the island!

Great condo-very clean-well, appointed with all appliances, towels etc.

We enjoyed our visit to Grand Cayman. The Retreat condo was a great place to stay for “home base”. Not too far from Georgetown, great for scenic drive and shopping. You do not have to travel far for groceries or restaurants. High.y recommend Tukka for great food and drinks.. Very comfortable and relaxing- we will be back.

Great Getaway!

We had a great stay at this condo. Having previously stayed along Seven Mile Beach, we wanted some place a little more off the beaten path, but still with a nice beach, great snorkeling and some restaurant choices nearby. The location of the Retreat delivered and Matt & Tracey's condo was top notch. The condo was clean and decorated with a chic contemporary West Indies aesthetic. It had to be the best furnished by owner rental we've every vacationed at. You name it, from beach towels to cocktail shakers to a FireStick for streaming, these guys really went out of their way to provide for guests. The view from the unit is great, but probably not as private as it once was with a new building next door. It was still super relaxing to have our morning coffee out there and dinner the one night we cooked on the BBQ. The beach was clean and very private. The water is pretty shallow a good ways out, crystal clear and calm. They have snorkeling guides in the guest book, be sure to use them, it was fantastic. All-in-all, we had a great stay and look forward to renting this unit again when we come back up to Rum Point.

About the host

Hosted by Gigi DeGuzman

While we love spending time at our Cayman home, we have some furry family members who cannot make the trip. So when we are back with them, it allows us to share our little abode with you.

Why they chose this property

We finally found our little piece of paradise and would love to share it with you. Having rented countless (OK, a lot) vacation properties, we are quite in tune with what makes an enjoyable vacation rental and what doesn't. The natural beauty of the Rum Point area coupled with the amazing snorkeling right off shore sealed the deal for us. Being located on the quiet side of the island was just an added bonus.

What makes this property unique

Our unit is on the 3rd floor which provides for exceptional views of the blue Caribbean sea and all the peace and quiet inherent in a top floor unit. We strive to deliver an outstanding product with hassle-free service for each of our guests. In the unlikely event our management company is unable to accommodate any needs you have that may arise, we are only a phone call or email away from providing assistance. So please, no worries and we hope you enjoy Rum and Kai as much as we do.
