About this property

Cayman Kai, Rum Point; Quaint Oceanfront Condo With Beautiful Private Beach

Welcome to the Sea Lodges of Cayman Kai and our condo The Getaway, unit #22.
Our unit was renovated in 2018!

Located on the North Side of the island this is the place to come if you want a peaceful less touristy island feel. Our two bedroom two bath condo has a great private sandy beach that is just steps from your door & sitting directly in front of a protected marine park. Swim 75-100 yards off your beach and explore an attractive reef as you float down to Rum Point for one of their world famous mud slides. It's a ten minute walk back to your condo to relax with a beer on one of the two screened in patios or chill under one of the thatch umbrellas on the beach.

If you want to save some extra money or just enjoy staying home, stop at the one of several groceries on your way out to Cayman Kai and pick up what you will need. Have a great meal with a picturesque view of the ocean while sitting on the back lanai. Go down to the beach and take in the stars on a clear night. Keep an eye out for the ghost crabs. The fully equipped kitchen has a toaster, coffee maker, microwave, stove & range, refrigerator, dishwasher, and beverage refrigerator. Pick up some charcoal and use the grill out front.

Our condo has an old style Cayman layout designed to be cooled by the tropical breezes that blow on the north side of the island. Most times of the year visitors prefer to use the tropical breeze to cool the unit. However, for guest convenience air conditioning is available throughout if you should choose to use it. If so, please put up the vinyl covers for each window and door. June - August is when people are most inclined to us the AC. In the unit we provide a few beach toys if you brought your little ones, and some snorkeling gear in case you or your buddy forgot to bring theirs. There is also a washer & dryer in the condo if you need it.

If you are looking for a quiet place without a lot of hustle and bustle you've found it! The north side of the island where our Sea Lodge is located is a slower pace of life than Seven Mile Beach. For those just wanting to relax while sitting on a lightly occupied beach you will be in heaven. If you need some activity before having your cool beverage, you can swim to the reef and explore for hours. The current moves steadily, but reasonably towards Rum Point. Along the way you'll see all manner of reef fish including Southern Stingrays, Nurse Sharks, Eagle Rays, Green Sea Turtles, and more. While at Rum Point you can chill under the Casuarina trees while waiting on lunch from the Wreck Bars' kitchen and have one of their cool drinks like a Mudslide, Daiquiri, Caybrew, or White Tip Lager. Red Sail Sports is located there too. You can rent jet skis, paddle boards, or even a small sail boat. Red Sail also does various charters from this location for snorkeling, sunset cruises, or a trip out to Stingray City. Where you can gently interact and feed some very friendly Southern Stingrays. During certain times of the year you can book a night kayaking trip with Cayman Kayaks to view the bio luminescent bay, one of the few in the world, located near Rum Point. Super cool! A few miles drive from the condo you can also take a hike on the Mastic Trail in the nature reserve. Here you can see some of the original dry forest vegetation of the island and it's excellent for bird watchers or plant enthusiasts. For a more leisurely walk stop by the Queen Elizabeth II Botanical Park to see beautifully maintained gardens, nature trail, and the elusive native Cayman Blue Iguanas.

Cayman Kai & the north side of the island are not known for their late night, night life. If you want that you'll have to venture back into Georgetown/Seven Mile Beach area. It's best to make a day of the trip to town. There are however, several bars and restaurants nearby. Except during high seasons, I would not expect them to be buzzing extra late. You can grab drinks at Rum Point's Wreck Bar, or The Rum Point Club Restaurant for a more formal setting. Our favorite close spot is Kaibo. Kaibo has a casual dining space and bar below, with seating on the beach, which overlooks the bay. Upstairs you have a pricier and much more formal dining experience.

Question: Who likes to stay here?
Answer: Those who normally like our property are people who are a little more independent. Someone who wants to get out of town and the typical seven mile beach experience.

Question: What type of person usually enjoys staying at your property?
Answer: A range of people, but often people who enjoy a more private/quiet setting, connected to nature. This location fits several needs. Those who enjoy getting into nature can swim or kayak while getting plenty of exercise then come back to relax with others on their lanai.

Question: What age person usually stays at your complex?
Answer: Ages range too. Our property is great for families with children. They can stay here all day or head down to Rum Point. Retirees like this property because they have a quiet place with great patios to relax and chat on. We often get young couples who want a more intimate setting away from "the scene" of a typical spring break or large resort.

Paradise on the beach
Everything was amazing. We snorkeled everyday on the reef just off the beach and saw different species each trip. Condo is awesome and has everything you need for a fantastic trip. Owners were responsive and had great tips on how to enjoy the island. Can’t recommend enough.

Villa with ocean view
Very pretty place in a quiet location. Place equiped with everything you need. Wish we could have snorkeled right from the villa' s beach, actually tried one day but was a little rough, that was a bummer bc we love to snorkel and the owner said its the best on the island. Other then that it was a wonderful place!

Amazing property, incredible beach, quiet location
Me and my fiance stayed in this house for a week and we couldn't be happier with our experience there. The house itself was clean, had all the appliances we needed, and came with TONS of stuff for us to use. Snorkel equipment, goggles, kayak, noodles, pool floaties, beach towels - pretty much everything you would need for a week on the beach.The beach is literally steps from the property and is amazing. The location is away from the west side of the island which is where most of the crowds are, and we went right before the busy summer season, so our private beach really was private - we basically had the whole stretch of beach to ourselves! We snorkeled at the beach there everyday when we had free time, and every single day we saw new fish and creatures swimming around, we even saw a stingray and a moray eel one day. It's super close to Rum Point which has some beachside bars and restaurants, but you should know that this side of the island in our experience had fewer restaurants and nightlife compared to the west side. Personally, that's exactly what we wanted: a quiet vacation away from crowds. I recommend renting a car like we did so you can drive to the west end if you want that action. Host was very responsive and friendly. Immediately responded to a question we had. The location also has a binder with information about local stores, food, activities, etc. which we used Overall, if you're looking for an amazing beach retreat thats a little quieter, THIS IS THE PLACE.

7 Days at Getaway
Homey comfortable, good location, comfortable, great beach access. Has all of the necessities. Comfortable bed. Quiet property where you can relax and still have access to as much outside activity as you want. We were looking for some place to kick back and relax and remove ourselves from the day-to-day fray and the Getaway absolutely fit the bill. Our host was responsive and made great recommendations for activities, restaurants, and groceries. We will definitely be returning.

Cayman Kai Get-Away
The place was immaculately clean and had every necessity a family could need. We found the outdoor shower very useful to rinse off the sand and saltwater after a swim. The beach here is very nice; it may be a little intimidating getting into the water with the seagrass and iron shore rock, but it's not a big issue. I would advice water shoes/socks though. As for the snorkeling...I would characterize it as one of the best shallow reefs we've been on. Very healthy coral and variety of fish. I'd advise to snorkel from Cayman Kai and "drift" your way to Rum Point. On this trip we did both Rum Point/Starfish Point and 7-mile beach and the consensus was with our group (teens and adults) that the north side was better. Try Rum Point for calm waters, lots of activities/amenities (chairs, umbrellas, showers, A/C restrooms), good snorkeling...its all right there. A ton of stuff to do on the north side and, in my opinion, best part of the island. We'd highly recommend staying here.

We love staying at the sea lodges. J was an incredible host. Communication was great and our check in/check out went smoothly. The accommodations were as described and we had everything we needed. J welcomes you with a letter outlining things to know when you arrive from getting around the island, to places to eat, or stores to stop at along the way. J also gives you tips about safety while spending time in the water. We love our time in the Caymans and we will definitely plan a return trip soon. Hopefully we will get to stay at J’s again!

Family Vacation to Rumpoint
Quiet area with a lot of rest/relaxation, away from the busy side of the island (40min drive) but within 5-15 mins of several restaurants and 25 mins to larger grocery stores. Snorkeling on the reef was excellent only a few hundred feet from the condo, lots of room in the condo and AC kept us cool during the evenings. Would recommend the rental and area - just be aware of proximity to other parts of the island and requirement to drive.

Very private and quiet spot on the Northside! We frequently had the beach to ourselves and could snorkel to the reef for amazing sea life (even saw some stingrays!). The condo fulfilled all of our needs and beds were super comfortable. Loved all the hooks for hanging towels and wet items. We loved visiting Stingray City, Starfish Beach, Queen Elizabeth II Botanical Gardens (blue iguanas were very cool), bioluminescent bay, and just hanging out on our “private” beach!

Great spot near Rum Point
We loved our stay on the north side of the island—such a short drive from Rum Point, Kaibo & Starfish Point. The condo is clean and comfortable with plenty of beach towels and snorkel equipment. The complex was quiet and it was like we had our own private beach! We loved using the grill to cook in the evenings after being out all day. The closest grocery store was very expensive so it would be good to stop at the bigger grocery stores before you come to the north side of the island. Beautiful place, highly recommend!

Quite, relaxing, perfect stay by the water
We had a amazing time. We were celebrating 2 birthdays and this stay was perfect. The way that the home is laid out is great for privacy of each guest room. You can enter/exit from the front of the home or the back of the home from each bedroom. There are plenty of towels and snorkeling gear to enjoy your time in the water. Rum Point is about a 20 to 25 minute walk down the beach, or you could snorkel there. We enjoyed just laying in our hammocks in the evening and listening to the water and looking at constellations. This is the perfect place to relax and get away from the crowds. The owner was very accommodating and answered any questions that we had. We defiantly want to go back.

Get-A-Way on the North Side
The cottage was just like it's described. The kitchen had everything we needed for cooking meals and dining on the screened lanai was enjoyable. Yes, there is a dishwasher which makes cleanup afterwards a breeze. Having a second screened area for hanging wet beach/snorkeling/dive gear is a bonus. Sea Lodges location on the northside is much quieter than the 7 mile beach area which is nice for those looking for that atmosphere. We had a great time. Get-A -Way is a pleasant place to stay on the north side of Grand Cayman.

We loved our trip to Cayman Kai Sea Lodges. Our place was very comfortable and relaxing, right on the ocean! The beachfront was beautiful and we enjoyed snorkeling right off shore.

Wonderful place
Better than the pictures! Surpassed expectations. Everything you could ever need is already there. You can tell the owners really thought it through on what guests might need from sunblock to kids beach toys. Rum point is a super cute spot and very laid back. Only down side is that it’s about an hour drive to get to seven mile area where most of the action is. However, it’s very close to the bioluminescent bay and starfish point. So you will have to drive to see things no matter where you are on the island. Might as well pick a place that’s serene and feels like your own little beach cottage. ❤️ On another note- J, the owner was extremely helpful and even took time off his personal vacation to make sure all was good for me. This bnb was probably the best I’ve ever rented!

About the host

Hosted by Owner

Host profile image
Hello, my wife and I are from Ohio and have been bringing our children to Grand Cayman for family vacations since they were born.

Why they chose this property

My wife and I first came to Grand Cayman in 1999. Like many people we originally stayed in the 7 mile beach (technically 5.2 miles) area. After staying there a few years and venturing to this side of the island we realized how cool it was on the North Side. Quiet with a chill vibe, less developed, and much less touristy feel. Later we realized that a friend of the family owned a unit in the Sea Lodges. We stayed there for many years and always spoke about how great it would be to have one of these hidden gems ourselves. Over the years we finally came across the right deal for us and purchased our condo in 2018. It's never going to be the Ritz Carlton experience, but that's OK. We love coming to this quaint cottage and the excellent access it has to nature just outside your door. It just feels homey! Like a small town you don't have to speak to anyone, but at the same time it's easy to strike up a pleasant conversation here.

What makes this property unique

You're not going to find a better place on the island where you can have both a nice private beach with such an easy swim from shore to reach a great reef. Especially for the price! The beach is never flooded with people like most along 7-mile or even as it can be down at Rum Point when the cruise crowd is shipped over - similarly at Morritts on the East End. That said, it is in close proximity (10 minute walk, 2 minute drive) to Rum Point if you want a different location to hang out for the day. On especially windy days, the protected beach there can be great for little kids, as it's usually less wavy. Get there early enough and you can claim a primo spot under the Casuarina trees to help provide all day shade for your littlest travelers.
