The Kai Life is a newly renovated villa and sits directly between the island's Bioluminescent Bay and the beautiful Rum Point Club. Walk across the street to restaurants, a beach bar, watersports, and a wonderful barefoot swimming beach.
The Island Houses are a resort neighborhood of 18 units at the top of Bio Bay, each with its own 2-story screened lanai.
All units share a large swimming pool with a sundeck. This is resort living, but with fewer footprints and more privacy.
The Kai Life is spacious and airy with elegant, comfortable furnishings. The property includes an upgraded fiber internet connection, perfect for remote working professionals.
The ground floor is open concept and includes a living and dining area, a fully equipped kitchen with new appliances, a guest powder room, a reading nook with a sleeper sofa, and a laundry room with a full-sized washer and dryer.
Our guests tend to spend many hours outside in the lanai. A private charcoal grill and outdoor shower are behind the lanai.
Balconies from each second-floor bedroom open to the screened lanai to allow the house to be opened up during the cooler winter months. Screened windows on the front also allow a breeze to flow through the house when air-conditioning is not needed.

***Villa Cleaning & Sanitation***
All villas are cleaned and sanitized prior to each guest's arrival. We also ask our owners to provide a starter supply of extra cleaning products. Additional housekeeping services can be purchased after booking in 3-hour time blocks. Scheduling may be coordinated with your property manager upon arrival.
***Beach Notes***
All beaches in Grand Cayman are technically public since the Crown owns up to the high watermark. Be advised, the beach or water entry behind your property may vary slightly from the images displayed due to shifting weather and tide patterns. The next-door beach is also always available for your use. We advise guests to wear foot protection (pool socks or aqua shoes) when entering the ocean to avoid injury on coral heads, ironshore, or rocks.
***Ocean Debris & Sargassum Seaweed***
Beaches in Grand Cayman may also experience floating ocean debris and sargassum weed seasonally. Sargassum is a generally harmless floating seaweed that has increased in frequency in recent years. This is VERY RARE for homes along the Cayman Kai Cove.
