'Cayman Cottage by the Sea' - Economical Family Accommodations
Cayman Cottage by the Sea is a two storey, two bedroom Caribbean Cottage that is absolutely perfect for the budget-minded traveler.
Located on the south (Beach) side of the road in peaceful Colliers, on the East End of Grand Cayman, it is literally steps away from a pristine, white powdery sand beach. Nestled amongst lush, tropical plants, palm and coconut trees, there is a large terrace off the 2nd floor for reading or sun-tanning with a fabulous view of the OCEAN !
The cottage has recently undergone a renovation, with pictures coming soon. We have removed the winding staircase to allow more space in the living room and kitchen. The staircase is now on the extension behind the kitchen. On the 2nd floor, we have put in a new 3-piece bathroom. Our kitchen was recently renovated and includes a dishwasher, ceramic cooktop, microwave / convection oven, Full-sized fridge, glass mosaic backsplash and granite countertops.
There are two bathrooms; one on each floor. The downstairs bathroom has the master bedroom and 3-piece ensuite. The upstairs bedroom is huge, and has, in addition to the new bathroom with shower, a queen sized bed, 3 single beds and a seating area.
The cottage is just 10 minutes from the new Shetty Hospital for Cardiac Care -- which is located in High Rock. This is the perfect, low cost option if you have family who are in the hospital and you want to stay close by.
The 'Cayman Cottage by the Sea' is fully equipped with all linens, dishes and cooking utensils. There is an indoor dinette and outdoor patio set. Cottage could hold a maximum of 7 guests. You could have the following configurations:
Maximum capacity is 7. The ground floor master bedroom has a queen bed. On the 2nd floor, in one large room, is another queen, and a trundle bed with 2 pull-outs (making it 3 single beds). If you have more guests than this, or other friends/family decide they'd like to join you, Cayman Beach House, to the left of the cottage and about 20 feet away, has some add-on options.
We have 2 tandem Kayaks, a single Kayak, and 2 paddle boards as well as life vests that are for our guests to use at no charge. We recently had a swimming pool installed and have a whirlpool which is also a hot tub at night (between 6-9 p.m. only).
Everything you need for your vacation. At a price you can afford.

All was great ....Location is excellent .. a few steps from the beach -30 second walk... Lot's of kite surfer's there--very nice people !! Snorkeling out front was super --nurse shark ( harmless) and lots of fish and a few rays ..The place was clean and the a/c worked good ... Wifi worked ..TV worked ..and the refrigerator has a huge freezer portion...I have been to a few VRBO properties and this was one of the top locations
Due to the crazy snow storms on the east coast our original flights got canceled. Somehow, we were able to rebook and arrive earlier, which was accommodated with a smile and no issues. The house was quaint, no big frills, but the beach access and snorkeling were unbelievable.
The host was fine. We had very little interaction with her. The cottage could use a refresh. The flooring is stained, many nicks and dings and is well used. Upstairs outside deck is a beautiful place to enjoy the view but does not drain after a rain and there fore could use some attention.
My wife and I stayed in the cottage which was comfortable and met all of our expectations. We enjoyed beautiful sunrises each morning from the deck with our coffee. We enjoyed sitting on the amazing beach, swimming in the new pool, snorkeling around the dock, and kayaking in the ocean. All in all a great stay.

Enjoyed the location away from the touristy bustle on the other end of the island. The cottage was very comfortable and well appointed. Would happily stay here again in future.
Had an amazing time
Location is excellent right on the beach
Several good restaurants within a couple miles
Grocery store and liquor store less than a mile away
Cottage is well equipped
The experience was very nice. From the booking, to checking in, and description of the house and area. Windy a lot of the trip for us, but the beach out front was one of the nicest walking up and down the neighborhood.
Lovely house and beach! We enjoyed our stay on the quiet East end of the island. Lorraine was a joy to deal with and was easily available for any questions. Highly recommend this rental!
So after booking and receiving the address I was a little disappointed because the cottage sits mostly behind the house. We arrived late on a holiday so I was able to reach out to the host and get the cottage pre stocked with some basic needs. This was the beginning of an amazing trip! The next morning I learned the beach house is actually several different units. However, even with that we all quickly made friends with each other. The beach was never crowded and there was plenty of room for everyone! Snorkeling at the end of the dock was stunning so many fish! We even saw a starfish just past the dock. We kayaked to the reef and saw more starfish, stingrays and sea urchins! If you are looking for some fancy place this isn’t it. If you are looking to just chill, spend time with your family and relax then this is absolutely the place you want to be! The maids were in and out all the time and always happy to answer any questions or help with any needs! We all agreed this was the best family vacation we have been on so far and are already looking forward to coming back!!

We are happy to hear that this "We all agreed this was the best family vacation we have been on so far". I just wanted to comment on your first line about the position of the cottage. The pictures on the website clearly show that the cottage is slightly behind and off to the right of the Beach House, and we state that you have a clear view of the ocean from the 2nd floor terrace. The 3rd picture on the site, which shows up on the Home Page on VRBO, shows the position, with the ocean on the right side and the house on the left.
My wife and I chose this place for our honeymoon destination and it was perfect. We were out of town and it was nice and quiet. The beach was well kept and the ocean was SO warm. We would love to come back!
The place worked out great for us. Most times there was absolutely nobody else as far as you could see either direction on the beach! The snorkeling under the old dock in front of this property is very good! Tukka restaurant, Morrits and the dive bar were all near by for good food and drinks. Property staff was very welcoming.
We had a great time at the property. Enjoyed being away from the more crowded part of the island. Loved the really private beach and the kayaks/SUPS. The space is nicely appointed and the host was gracious and responsive. We will be back!
Such a beautiful location and home for our vacation! East side of the island with our own private beach. Lorraine has kayaks, even found us snorkeling equipment!! 5 of us and more than enough room to stretch out. We are definitely going back!! We felt like a park of Lorraine’s family.
We celebrated our wedding anniverasary at the cottage. It was absolutely beautiful! Everyone we encountered was pleasant and friendly. Lorraine greeted us when we got there. The cottage was beautiful and clean. We enjoyed having our own private beach. The island was beautiful! There was plenty to see and do. The local food was delicious. Our favorites were One Stop, Big Tree BBQ, Vivine's Kitchen and The Italian Kitchen. We would definitely return.
Totally enjoyed our stay. Location is in the East End of the
island, which is away from the bustle of cruise ships/7-mile
beach. Private beach with beautiful sunrises. Affordable
and modern accommodations. Only hiccup was thought we
would be the only ones on the property. There is actually
5 rental units. But, we met several couples and it only enhanced our stay. Lorraine, the property manager is a gem and she is there to make your stay great!. Will definitely go back.
If you're looking for a place off the beaten path, this is it. Isolated and quiet with great beaches. Solid dining options near by, water sports near by, very chill vibe. The beach front location was a great place to decompress without the tourist crowds of the West side. The recent hurricane washed a lot of plastic onto the sand of East End Colliers Point, hopefully it's getting cleaned up as it's prevalent while you're snorkeling inside the cove of the breakwaters as well as when you walk up the beach.The Cayman Cottage was okay for 6 days. The photos of the property are quite dated. Still, a comfortable stay for early season mid-November. The pool was great, the beach front ocean was great, but the hot tub never worked during our stay. Neither did the locks on the Cottage. We had to devise an exit strategy every night to leave for dinner. Eventually the battery keypad died and we had no means to lock the property the last two days of our stay. All of this was communicated to the host.. A new lock was on the patio table as we were loading the car to leave. I understand that we were early in the season, however, the property looked like an active construction site on all sides littered with rusted equipment, pallets of flooring, pieces of exterior trim, a dead air conditioning compressor, and exposed electrical near the pool. I'm sure it's been rectified as the season begins, however, the overall appearance of the property was a bit of a letdown.
We really loved how we were right on the beach. Yes, our cottage was behind the main house, but it's still right there! It was great to just walk out to our own private beach and not worry about hauling all our stuff or crowds. We also really enjoyed using the provided kayaks and paddle boards. There was plenty of interesting sea life to see snorkeling around the dock. Cottage was cozy with plenty of space to sleep and hang out. It was a pleasant surprise that both bathrooms each had a shower! Deck and patio areas were lovely and picturesque. I recommend Tukka restaurant for future visitors! We had zero issues needing owner attention while we were there.Feedback to owner: Need new can opener (neither worked well). We would have liked a TV upstairs to watch from the lovely large couch. A broom or handheld vacuum handy for sweeping away tracked in sand would be nice.
This property was perfect for my family of 3. The location was on the East side of the island, away from the cruise ships and hustle and bustle of tourists. It was quiet and very comfortable. A car was necessary and the best way to explore the island. Mother nature threw us a bit of a curveball with the sargassum (seaweed), but we were able to swim at the private beach with no problem. Water shoes are recommended. Our best meals were at Tukka, Big Tree BBQ and Over The Edge. When we return, we will definitely stay at this property. It was great. Exactly as described and excellent communication with the property management.

Thank you for this wonderful review, Gina! Although the cottage can hold 7, it is ideal for smaller families too. Yes, when the cruise ships are in port, which is practically every day, it is ridiculously crowded downtown. There can be up to 7 cruise ships in port at the same time and the stores tend to serve those guests first as they know they are on a limited time schedule and more likely to spend $. That's one of the reasons I send the cruise ship schedule to our guests, so they can choose what the best day to go downtown is. We look forward to seeing your family again!
About the host
Hosted by Lorraine, Property Manager
You will meet Lorraine --- your property manager. She is your point of contact once you reach the island. Great sense of humour and infectious laugh. You'll enjoy meeting her. She's on the property very early in the morning, and pops in throughout the day. If you need anything at all, just ask her.
Why they chose this property
This quaint cottage is located literally steps away from a powdery sand beach and ocean that is good for swimming or snorkelling. Guests have scuba dived here too, but it's quite a long swim out to the reef.
What makes this property unique
It's a very economical alternative if you have a lot of children or 2 families travelling together with kids. The 2nd floor is one huge bedroom with a total of 5 beds. Perfect for 2 or 3 adults and kids, too small for more than 3 or 4 adults.
If there are more in your family, then you can also rent one of our other properties at hte SAME location: * Cayman Beach House (3 or 4 bedrooms) * Cayman Snuggle Beach Apt. (1 or 2 bedrooms) * Blue Sea Hideaway Studio (1 or 2 bedrooms)
