If you have the opportunity to stay in this amazing home, DO! We have been blessed to stay in many VRBO Caribbean homes. This is a one of a kind. Extremely private, clean and very beautiful. Both the owners and property manager went above and beyond for our needs. Close to many places we wanted to visit. Will have a fabulous time if you choose this one.

We stayed for five days and had a great time—very nice accommodations. There are plenty of "toys" for playing in the water. We have been going to the Caymans for many years and stayed around Seven Mile Beach. The Rum Point area is much less crowded and more laid—back; however, there's plenty to do and good restaurants in the area. I would highly recommend the Carolina Kai.

Thank you so much! We certainly agree that this is the laid back side of the island and love it as well. We would love to have you back anytime. All the best!
This house made for the perfect family vacation. It was close to Star Fish point and some good snorkeling spots. The kids loved swimming at the house and playing on the beach. The beds were comfortable and the home had everything you needed. It was so relaxing and wonderful.

Thank you all so much for staying with us! It would be our pleasure to have you back anytime. See you next time!
Many times you see photos that look great and then you find that they were very creatively staged. Not the case with Carolina Kai, it was better than the photos.We stayed in September and did find that a number of restaurants close for the month, however, we also had no lines or other people around. It was very peaceful and quiet. Perfect stay and just what we needed.

May have been the perfect home, location and weather!!! The host’s home thought of everything in their design and quality. Could not have had a better experience. (7 votes for perfect!!)
We had an amazing vacation in Rum Point. This home is beautiful and in an outstanding location. The owner was exceptional with communication and made sure we had everything we needed to enjoy the week. Highly recommend.

6 Stars!!! 5 Stars is not enough. The property is 100% as described including all the amenities both indoors and out. This is the most well-appointed property we have ever enjoyed in our VRBO experience. Host communications were absolutely the best with timely and accurate information as well as a genuine care for our comfort and enjoyment. We didn't just rent a house, we rented a home.

The house is just as listed. It was perfect for the 7 of us. Pool and beach cant be beat! It is a good drive from 7 mile area but that was what we wanted and it was nice and quiet. We hope to come back soon! Owners were great to work with also.
Carolina Kai is a magnificent home. It is as beautiful as the photos show…both inside and out. It is so private and relaxing. Loved the pool and hot tub. Wonderful outdoor spaces we enjoyed so much. And, most importantly the hosts were amazing; extremely helpful and excellent, responsive communicators. Don’t miss the opportunity to have the vacation of a lifetime!
