We loved staying at this cute cottage, especially the location right on the beach. Our morning coffee on the deck was so peaceful! The snorkeling right out front and beyond was fantastic. The studio was clean, well stocked and the bed was super comfy. We felt safe and loved taking evening walks on the road. Close to lots of great restaurants and Fosters, fabulous grocery store. We will definitely stay here again!

A wonderful babymoon

We enjoyed our stay and the place was perfect for just me and my wife. The property managers are right across the street and super nice! We enjoyed the privacy along seven mile beach and felt like we had the place to ourselves. We also enjoyed having Heritage grill right down the street which made it a great lunch spot on beach days.

Cozy and quiet

Great place for one or two people. Private deck area right on the water. You can easily snorkel right from “home” on a calm day. Even though it’s a small living space, all that you need is provided. There’s not a good sandy beach area in front of you, but the upside is not having people walking in “your space”.

Great stay! Highly recommend!

Perfect location. Right on the beach and you can swim and snorkel right off your porch. Can walk down seven mile beach. Plenty of restaurants and a grocery store right by. The small efficiency house is kind of like a “tiny home” - small but has everything you need for two low-maintenance people! The couch converts to a bed and they have a foam mattress topper to make it even more comfortable. We didn’t have any issues! Highly recommend!

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We wanted to be oceanfront and close to good snorkeling. Beautiful beach, amazing snorkeling when we had the energy to swim out to the reef. Especially loved the shaded deck and barbecue. The studio is small but has everything you need. Suggestions: queen bed instead of sofa, add love seat under tv, and please add full length mirror kitchen wall by refer. Thank you for a lovely stay!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This place, though small, packed a lot in for our vacation. Unbelievable snorkeling a couple hundred yards off the beach, and short swim/walk to cemetery beach that has the best snorkeling on the island. It is only a 5 minute drive to Macabuca's for some amazing food and shore diving, as well as the Turtle Center which is a must see for turtle lovers! The best part of this place was the fact that its on the northern edge of 7 mile beach and with no other renters in the 2 homes next to us we had the entire beach to ourselves, it was amazing. We will be back!

I'm so glad I decided to stay here!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This tiny house was absolutely perfect for my five days on Grand Cayman. I came primarily for snorkeling and relaxation and this location was perfect. I snorkeled right from the back door and used the outdoor shower. The location was very convenient for traveling to the best snorkeling spots on the island. There's a nearby grocery store and an even closer convenience store and liquor store. Heritage Kitchen is an amazing authentic outdoor eatery just a couple minutes' walk from the house (bring your own alcohol if you want it); I only ate there once (on my last day) and wish I would have eaten there more often. The house was exceptionally clean and was very well-appointed. It had everything I needed as far as extra bedding, soft fluffy bath towels and beach towels, and kitchen supplies. I traveled solo as a woman and almost stayed at a hotel just to have other people nearby, but when I saw this little house on the water I just couldn't resist it, and I'm SO GLAD I decided to stay there. I felt safe the entire trip and it felt luxurious. I'd stay there again in a HEARTBEAT.
