About this property

Great Escape: Serene Cove Villa in the Quiet Neighborhood of Cayman Kai with Pool & Dock

***Property Overview***
Great Escape is located on a quiet cove in Cayman Kai merely a short walk from Rum Point Beach.

This sprawling villa consists of the main house, with 3 bedrooms and 2 baths, plus an optional 1 bedroom, 1 bath guest cottage. Renting both the villa and cottage gives guests two superb master king suites to choose from, plus additional king and queen guest bedrooms.

With a large, freshwater swimming pool, barefoot sandy beach, and spacious interiors, Great Escape is a fantastic property for your island getaway.

***Great Escape's Sleeping Arrangements***
(Sleeps 10 guests total, 8 adults max)
-- Oceanfront Master Suite: Large suite with a king bed, two chairs, a TV, a door to the screened porch, and an ensuite bath with a walk-in shower
-- King Bedroom: Oceanfront bedroom with a king bed, doors to the screened porch, TV, and a shared bath with a combination shower/tub
-- Queen Bedroom: Garden view bedroom with a queen bed, TV, and a shared bath with a combination shower/tub
-- Detached Cottage Suite: Large suite with a king bed, daybed (sleeps 2 children), TV, kitchenette, private screened porch, and an ensuite bath

Great Escape's interiors are clean and modern with cool tile floors and modern decor. Plenty of windows and sliding glass doors open onto the pool deck and fill the home with natural light and gorgeous views. On the occasional lazy day, guests can relax across the large, beachfront screened porch with comfortable seating, or play a friendly game of ping pong without losing the breeze or ocean views.

A gourmet kitchen sits just off of the front porch and comes equipped with granite countertops, an island breakfast bar with stool seating, and a full range of modern appliances. Cookware, dishware, cutlery, and coffeemaker are all provided.

Boasting one of the largest residential swimming pools in Cayman Kai, Great Escape's outdoor amenities are top-notch. The pool features a built-in tabletop with submerged bar seating and an umbrella for shade. Optional pool heat is available at $250 per week.

The pool deck overlooks the tranquil cove and is lined with chaise lounges, patio umbrellas, and plush patio sofas. Guests can enjoy alfresco dining under the stars by the pool deck, or under the roofed cabana by the waterfront. With its own private pier, guests can dock boat rentals and jet skis in the backyard, or hire a private boat charter to pick them up right off the dock.

With its spacious interiors and stellar outdoor amenities, Great Escape is the perfect vacation villa for large family vacations or multiple couples on a tropical getaway.

***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 Queen 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 weather. The next-door beach is also always available for your use.

***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. Although sargassum is an unsightly nuisance, it is largely seasonal in summer. Our owners do make efforts to remove heavy sargassum and will have the beach raked prior to your arrival.

Should sargassum be extremely heavy behind your property, we will reach out to the owner for alternative solutions which may include a partial refund or relocation. We try our best to work around mother nature.

Truly a Great Escape
Our trip to the Great Escape at Rum Point was both amazing and much needed. All of the bedrooms had so much space and kept us cool at night. The whole house stayed cool and gave relief from the daytime heat when needed. The pool has a table with 4 seats that became the center for waterproof card games and great conversation. There are so many great places to disappear to if you choose to take a nap around the pool. The lanai (porch) was fully screened in which was a nice feature to keep the bugs off us when the wind stops at night; although most of the time it was breezy, so no bugs. The surrounding landscaping was very lovely to look at while floating around. There was a sand wash off station that was an underrated amenity. The gas grill worked wonderfully. The kitchen was big with plenty of space to store food and fix breakfast, even with a large crew. The kitchen was also very well stocked with more than enough silverware, dishes, cups and cookware. I would go back in one click with no remorse.

A TRUE GREAT ESCAPE
The property was absolutely amazing!!! Our group couldn't have been more happy with the villa. We had 7 adults in our group. Between the main house and pool house we had more than enough space. The house was incredibly clean when we arrived and well stocked. The outdoor space is a haven. The pictures don't do it justice A few pointers you may want to know. It is not close to 7-mile beach. If you are looking for night life, shopping and a bunch of restaurants to choose from, then be prepared to drive. If you want something quiet and less touristy, this is the place!! There are some restaurants near by, and only one that is within walking distance. Thank you, Great Escape for making our vacation so perfect.

Feels like a private resort
We had a wonderful visit. Great escape was the perfect property. It had absolutely everything we needed. The property is even more stunning in person. More than enough space for multi families. Endless areas indoors and outdoors to relax. A great place for kids. The bioluminescent bay right off the dock, starfish point and sting ray city were favorites. But we were thrilled just to lounge in the huge pool, paddle board and relax in the hammock. The property is far from seven mile beach, but we knew this and prepared by stocking up on groceries. We much preferred the out of town private feel. The only thing to make the experience perfect would be if Rum Point was open - it is currently closed for renovations, which we didn’t realize until after we arrived. We will just have to return when it reopens happens!
