All beaches in Grand Cayman are technically “public” since The Crown owns up to the high water mark and the shoreline space may vary seasonally. Be advised that the beach or water entry behind your property may vary slightly from the images on our website because of the weather. The next-door beach is also always available for your use. We own both properties.

Perfect getaway
This is a beautiful villa in an ideal location, on the quiet north shore of Grand Cayman within easy walking distance to the Rum Point Beach Club.The size and layout of the house was perfect for our family of 5, with the children getting their own suites with adjoining bathrooms. The house was clean and the accommodations were very comfortable. And we loved the view!Check-in process went smoothly and we had no trouble communicating with the caretaker for whatever little questions came up. Highly recommended!

Location is fantastic if you like to snorkel. Home is close to Rum Point and an easy walk down the beach. We had a good bit of rain (early June stay) but were told by the locals that it was unusually rainy. Be sure to try Tukka and Check In restaurants.

"So Serene" really is so serene.
A beautiful home in a peaceful, tranquil part of a stunning island. My family and I - my wife, my brother and sister-in-law and 2 kids had a lovely stay at "So Serene". The house was large and perfect for this amount of people - plenty of beds and lots of room to spread out. The views from the home over the Ocean are spectacular - visible from every window and so calming. Likewise, the beach that the home backs up to was so quiet and peaceful. It was lovely to sit on the beach chairs at the end of the day and just listen to the Ocean. The location was the perfect balance between being away from the hustle and bustle of Georgetown while still having easy access to all the necessities - groceries etc and some great restaurants. Definitely one of my favorite places to stay to date. We're already planning our return trip!

Perfect stay
We visited for New Year’s holiday and had a wonderful time. The home was even better than we expected. It has a wonderful beach and plenty of room. We were a family of four with two teenagers, and the layout for us was perfect. We really enjoyed the proximity to Rum Point and Kaibo. It was a beautiful home and we hope to stay there again.

Wonderful stay in Rum Point
The villa is very comfortable, clean and well stocked. It is located in the very quiet and secluded neighborhood, away from 7 mile crowds and traffic. We had a slight issue with the air conditioning in the main area, and it was resolved within an hour of calling the property manager. Roy was great and very helpful. We have thoroughly enjoyed the hot tub, the sunroom and main area. Our only suggestion would be to update the mattress in the master bedroom. The old mattress is not very comfortable.

Great Property, exactly as described!
This is a great location away from the bustle of 7 mile beach. It's a very spacious house, lots of area for the 3 bedrooms, so you can have your extended friends and family with you and not feel crowded. The house is well equipped and has everything we needed for our stay. If you are looking for a luxurious property away from all the tourist traffic, this one is a great choice.

Beautiful home, Excellent location
North side / Rum Point location was exactly what we were looking for, very peaceful, beautiful views and out-the-back-door access to the beach and great snorkeling. Centrally located to lots of activities. Many boat charters pick up nearby at Kaibo which was very convenient. House was clean, sizable for our family of six, but cozy at the same time. My wife absolutely loved the master suite vibe. Soft/comfortable beds. Kids loved the place and access to the beach. Owners were extremely responsive, and were incredibly helpful / flexible when we had airline issues impacting our arrival / departure. Bring your own shampoo/soap, etc

Hi,

My family has been making sweet memories at Rum Point in Grand Cayman for over 45 years. Our permanent home is in Kentucky, USA. My sister, Anita Miller, and I own and operate So Serene and Moon Glow next door.

When our parents first visited Cayman, they were brought to Rum Point by boat and there was no internet, technology, A/C or modern conveniences. Our fondest memories are of discovering the sea, game nights, reading books, and making new friends. We have seen lots of developments on the island, persevered though hurricanes, rebuilt, and always strived to be a thoughtful neighbor and help others who live full-time on the island.

Cayman really is a special place, especially the Cayman Kai/Rum Point area. We are delighted that you are considering a stay with us or have already made a reservation. If there is anything at all that we can do to help make your visit not only special, but also most memorable, then please connect with us. We hope that the memories that you make while staying at So Serene are some of your best ones ever and that they make you smile for a lifetime.

Thank you,

Vivek Sarin

Why they chose this property

Why So Serene for us?

When our family first discovered Cayman in the 1970's, our first vacation villa in Cayman was a 2 bedroom timeshare unit at the old Cayman Kai Resort. A number of years later, our parents purchased the current property and in 1991 designed and built So Serene. In 2000, we purchased the villa next door, Moon Glow.

This particular stretch of beach on the oceanside has always been special. While the sands shift, heading towards Rum Point to the west, there is a nice, clear area to walk free of coral and iron shore line. Also, the swim to the reef is easy to make and the marine life is incredible. All of the waters in front are apart of a protected marine park; so, it is like you are swimming in your own tropical aquarium. Do not be surprised to see sting rays, lobster, schools of fish, octopus, and crabs.

So Serene is the closest, rented oceanside villa to Rum Point. Along the road, it only takes 5 mins. to reach one of the most enjoyable areas on the island with lots to do.

When enjoying a stay at So Serene, you can pick a spot on the west side of the sundeck. From here, at just the right time, you can watch the moon rise over the sea and the sun set behind you. It is truly amazing. And, every clear morning, no matter where you sit, the sun rising over the sea looking eastward is so beautiful and a great way to begin each day.
