***Beach Notes*** All beaches in Grand Cayman are technically public since the Crown 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 shifting weather and tide patterns. The next-door beach is also always available for your use. We advise guests to wear foot protection (pool socks or aqua shoes) when entering the ocean to avoid injury on coral heads, ironshore, or rocks.
***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. This is VERY RARE for homes along the Cayman Kai Cove.

This was hands down one of the best Vrbo locations I have ever stayed at! The place was beautiful and right on the beach. It was a great quiet location. There were no waves but nice calm, clear water.
The location was excellent. It was on a sheltered cove, protected by the waves, with a soft sand walk in beach, palm trees for shade, and an abundance of comfortable chairs and lounges. There were two excellent restaurants within a mile of the resort and a person ferry to George Town within walking distance.
Definitely come stay again , just seems w what is charged they would provide more than 1 roll of tp paper per bathroom, inch by inch kitchen scrubby , no dish washer soap, 1 paper towel- when your from out of town that should be the least of your worries
The home is comfortable and clean. Kitchen is well stocked with equipment to cook meals. The location is fantastic; you walk down the front steps onto a calm, quiet, beautiful beach.
Everything about the property was perfect: amazing location right on the beach, the house has everything you need and the screen porch is the best! Definitely rent a car, do the stingray tour and have a meal at the Rum Point Beach Club. Already planning our 2025 return trip.
Property is nicer than pictures suggest. Everything is thought through and convenient. Beach is amazing. Really warm in April. Perfect place if you are looking for some privacy.
No Sargassum! Other parts of island were experiencing sargassum but this section is tucked away. June/July was hot but only a few neighbors. Beach to ourselves. Loved the Northside of the island. Nice and quiet. Kitchen pots/pans NOT worn out and well stocked.
This is a beautiful part of the island on a nice calmer bay. The place is right on the water and the views are even better than the pics. The condo is very well furnished and was very comfortable for our family of 5 adults. We were extremely satisfied and loved being in close proximity to Cayman Kai, Rum Point, and Starfish point. This is a fantastic option for those wanting to be off the beaten path of seven mile beach. We would definitely recommend this place and would love to come back!
We had a wonderful visit! The house was lovely and fit our needs perfectly for a family of 4 (2 teenagers). House and view was exactly as the photos depicted. We enjoyed the kayaks and snorkeling daily. Dined at Kaibo and Rum Point multiple times. Starfish point and Bioluminescent Bay were great attractions. But overall most enjoyed the peacefulness of the house and location! Richard was great to work with!
Looking forward to returning!
From the moment we booked until leaving the Caymans to head home, this property worked perfectly. Richard is excellent with communications, the home is beautiful, and the location couldn't be better for the 8 of us. The home was spacious, VERY well appointed, well thought out, and with beautiful views to accompany it. Richard has, I believe, thought of everything a guest in the Cayman Islands might need. I can't say enough good things and we'll be staying at the Beach Pad again next time we come back.
This property was such a great location for us. It looked just like the pictures in the listing. It was very clean, updated, and had everything we needed. Very spacious. What I really liked was the location. It was private and quiet. We used the kayaks everyday and snorkeled right in front of the villa. Many fish and starfish to see. We walked to starfish point as well as some local restaurants. We would definitely stay here again. Kids loved it.
The house was perfect for our family of 7. It was clean, nicely furnished and in the best location. We had the most wonderful time watching sunsets out front, relaxing and wishing we stayed longer than 6 days. All of us including children ages 5 snd 9 used the kayaks that were available, swam in the pool by ourselves and enjoyed the beautiful beach right out front of the house. The house is walking distance to the most beautiful sunrises, Kaibo Restaurant and the Ferry to Camana bay/7 mile beach. We will recommend the “Beach Pad” to our friends and family. Thank you Richard for being so prompt in responding to our texts and emails.
Five stars is not enough for the 'Beach Pad'. It was clean, spacious and well appropriated for 3 couples wanting to enjoy the relaxing side of the island. I cannot imagine a more perfect beach or a bay to Paddle Board, Kayak or Snorkel in. The 'locals' in the community are immediately welcoming and genuinely interested in helping you as best they can. We would suggest Tukka's restaurant on the East End, the Kaibo Beach Club luau (Tuesday night) and an excursion to Stingray City. We are already discussing when to return. (Shout out to MaryBeth for being so welcoming).
We wanted a quiet away from all the cruise boat crowds to relax and the Beachpad didn’t disappoint on any aspects. The location is just place to stay for a quiet relaxing time time inside and out, yet close enough to walk (or kayak) to a few places to visit- Starfish point, Rum Point, and Bioluminescent Bay. The place was very clean and had plenty of towels and seats for everyone inside and outside on the beach. The kitchen is well stocked and had everything we needed to cook and make dinners for our group of five. We brought our own snorkel gear and were able to see the local huge lobster that hangs out near the tubes in the swimming area right in front. We also used the kayaks just about every night to paddle out and watch the sunsets from the water, which our son loved doing. It was truly the best view and location for a quiet place to stay and relax and we would love to come back and stay again.
This was our 2nd trip to Grand Cayman - we first stayed at a resort on 7 mile beach. This time we wanted something a little quieter with a little more room and this was perfect. We (husband/wife/2 teens) stayed for a week in late June 2024. We loved being able to walk out of the door and directly down to the beach where we snorkeled, kayaked, and paddle boarded (we supplemented the included kayak with additional rentals).
Location - While it's not the middle of things like SMB, there are local restaurants that were great, plus we stocked up from the larger grocery stores and then supplemented with the local smaller market. While it's a bit of a hike from SMB and Georgetown, the tradeoff of relative quiet & chill vibe was much worth the longer drive. We still took trips to other parts of the island, but it was great to come back & watch some of the most amazing sunsets.
The Villa - The villa is beautiful - we found it clean and comfortable. Plenty of room for a family of 4 to spread out.
The Beach - it's in sort of a cove, and we found we could kayak and paddle board pretty far out and still feel comfortable. Snorkeling we saw a variety of small fish, a few crabs, and even a lobster.
The checkin process was smooth and the few things we needed we emailed the caretaker and got a reasonably quick response.
We loved the area, the villa, and our trip. Highly recommend.
