Our favorite floaty time beach in the world

We love coming to room point because of the sand reef which we believe is the best place in the world for floaty time and we've been a lot of places in the world. This condo was perfect for us. It was extremely clean and whenever we had questions, they were answered immediately. We loved sitting outside in the screened in area every morning watching the water while enjoying our coffee. We've been here before so we knew to buy groceries before we made the trek around the island from the airport. The kitchen had everything we desired as we like staying in and cooking. The grill was immaculate, and we thought that it was brand new until we saw the cleaning ladies cleaning the other grills as people left. Like I said, it was extremely clean and very comfortable. We would love to come back and have some of our friends rent other units along there so we could get together when we wanted for meals and still had privacy. It's just one of our favorite vacation places. An extra bonus this year was the fact that the sailboats were back. So on Sundays, you have a giant party on the sandbar and other days there are jet skis, and sailboats to rent.

Loved our stay!

Beautiful house and great location. We were looking for a relaxing holiday and this was perfect. House was well kept and had everything necessary for our stay. Loved having access to the kayaks and the bikes. Short walk to the beach and to the restaurant at Rum Point. Kaibo restaurant was also close by so we enjoyed their Beach BBQ on Tuesday night. Would highly recommend this property!

Great Location

This amazing place was exactly as described. The beach was across the street and the Bioluminescence Bay was in the backyard. The condo was neat and tidy and had everything you would need. Rum Point is still under construction but there are plenty of lounge chairs available and the beach bar and grill are open.

Lovely location, great property, beautifully out-of-the-way spot

Loved it! We'd love to return! - great property! Excellent kitchen, comfortable bedrooms, plenty of amenities - clean, up to date, well appointed, well maintained - very convenient to Rum Point Beach, bar and restaurants, - minuted from Kaibo, Starfish beach, etc. - the neighbours are friendly, - 15-20 min drive from groceries, East End, 40 mins from G'town & 7 mile beach - check on the status of construction at the Grand Cayman airport and allow longer for check-in

Wonderful house on the quiet side of the island!

This house was exactly as described! Very well set up, and very well appointed. So many beach towels were provided, so we didn't have to constantly do laundry; and plenty of extra pillows and blankets. Wifi signal at the house was strong. The kayaks and bicycles were awesome for exploring the area. House sits right on the bio-luminescent bay, starfish point is a short drive or bike ride away. Across the street is Rum Point beach; beach swimming area, beach bar & grill, restaurant, souvenir shop, & Red Sail Sports does rentals here and cruises to Sting Ray City, glass bottom boat tour, ect. The beach was very clean, water stations throughout, very nice restrooms, staff very helpful and friendly. We snorkeled at the beach, and outside our condo every day. I did have a little trouble with the phone, but only because I didn't understand how to dial out; the property managers answered my emails and helped me through it very promptly. The entire condo area was very clean and well maintained, swimming pool was great, and the people very friendly. We have zero complaints and would absolutely visit this house again.

Wonderful! Wanted to stay longer...

I have been to Grand Cayman, Bahamas, St. Croix before this trip. I am very particular about my accomodations.... It costs a lot of money to go on a vacation and I want to feel like our money is well spent....AND IT WAS!!! The first two nights on Grand Cayman we stayed at The Marriott. It was awful! The rooms smelled, the beach was small and the water was not what I remember from 30 years ago. I was so disappointed....UNTIL we got the this condo! The location was AWESOME! The condo is a short walk to beautiful Rum Point Beach! It is also a short ride to Starfish Beach (which is also gorgeous!) The best feature is the Beach Bar! It wasn't rowdy or crazy...It just added atmosphere and plenty of refreshing Pina Coladas and Mudslides, as well as smoothies for the kids! The chili fries were so good! And the prices were much more reasonable then anywhere else we had been on the island. The house is perfect for a family of four. Each bedroom feels private, so mom and dad and have their own space....Loved the doors that opened to the Lanai! How awesome it was to open up the entire downstairs to fresh air and it was all screened in! Loved the upstairs screened in decks, also. Beds were comfortable and bedding was white and new and wonderful! Everything seemed relatively new and in great shape. Shower pressure was even good. It was very clean. Better than ANY hotel!!! Kayaks and bikes are a great feature! Kayaks on bio bay at night are a must! A few comments about Cayman Island, itself: I have never felt unsafe on Grand Cayman. I cannot say that about the other islands! FIND HURLEY'S GROCERY STORE...DO NOT GO TO FOSTER'S!!! You'll find much more of a selection at Hurley's! Limit your dining out! I wasn't impresssed with a single meal we had! There's a lack of fresh veggies offered at the restaurants. You WILL wait atleast an hour to be served....you are now on Cayman Time!!!! We ate at Rackams, The Marriott & The Edge. Snorkeling is not what it is in the Virgin Islands! Instead of driving to a bunch of different beaches to try snorkeling off shore, I highly recommend the tours! We used Fat Fish Toursr jetski tour. We went to Sting Ray City & Star Fish Beach! Well worth the money. My 17 year old loved driving the jetski! We wished we had organized a boat tour to snorkel a few reefs but by the time we tried we couldn't book one! Stay atleast 5 nights!!!

Relaxing condo on a quiet corner of Grand Cayman

This was our second visit to Grand Cayman, this time bringing my mother in law and another family member along for the ride. The house was exactly the right size for our stay, with enough beds, a spacious kitchen, and a relaxing screened back patio.We did not use the bicycles, but we did make use of the kayaks b/c it was approaching a new moon and we could go out into the bioluminescent bay at night and enjoy the glowing water whenever we wanted.If you plan to cook here, I'd recommend grabbing groceries closer to civilization before making the trek out to Rum Point. There is Chisolm's grocery nearby, but selection is smaller and prices a bit higher.Communication with the property manager was smooth and we had not issues checking in or checking out. Would stay again.

Wonderful and Relaxing Stay

The location was ideal. We really enjoyed only having to make a 5 minute drive to beautiful Starfish Point and Kaibu. The two minute walk to Rum Point and access to the beach/bar/restaurants was great. Also we utilized the kayaks to experience the bio-luminesence which was right out the back door. Nice/clean pool was also refreshing. Easy driving to the East end and North Point. The property was clean and ideal amount of room for our family of five and had everything we needed to make our meals and relax in the screened in porch as we played games. I would definitely stay here again.

A Week on the Bio Bay

My daughter, teenage grandsons and I recently enjoyed a week in this beautiful home on the bioluminescent bay. Access to the bay was a prime reason for choosing this property and we loved being able to use the kayaks to experience the nightly phenomenon whenever we wanted (until the moon got too bright toward the end of the week). We also used the kayaks to paddle across the sound to the back side of Starfish Point, where we found many starfish and only a couple of other visitors. The condo property was very clean and Joshua, the local property manager, was very responsive to our requests and questions.

Wonderful property with lots of amenities such as 4 kayaks, 5 bicycles, snorkel gear plus more, my wife and I have stayed in different island houses and have never been disappointed, being across the street from Tim point is a bonus, you can take a catamaran from there too snorkel at different places plus great restaurants right there and don’t forget the snorkeling is amazing just to the right of the dock at rum point, make sure you go out just past the dock to see sea turtles and stingrays and big colorful fish
