Tatenda 6 Bedroom Villa: Heated Pool, Balcony Suites


Tatenda - meaning 'Thank you' in a South African dialect - is luxury beachfront home on Grand Cayman's prestigious South Sound and offers a remarkable and relaxing vacation, corporate or wellness retreat.

Centrally, yet quietly located Tatenda is perfectly placed on the reef protected beach, minutes from George Town, Owen Roberts International Airport (GCM) and only a few miles from the world famous Seven Mile Beach with all the shops, bars, restaurants and resorts – which some find to be a little too crowded.

This stunning property is perfect for multigenerational families or up to 6 couples – ask us about the family and access friendly bedrooms.

Gathering and entertaining areas are located through-out the villa and are furnished to the highest of standards and still comfortable.

Stroll along the shoreline, try some beachcombing and depending on the tide snorkel or paddleboard in the calm, warm Caribbean blue waters.

Villa highlights:

Gourmet kitchen fully fitted with additional double ovens, warming draws, 5 burner cooktop ideal for family friendly dining to Private Chef experiences.

Family and breakfast room open onto the shaded outdoor dining with 6 burner barbecue, hotplate and fridge.

There’s sun and shade for everyone on the palm-dotted lawn, beachfront deck and poolside terrace.

Formal dining room and sitting room both have beach views, served by a beautiful bar with wine and beverage fridges.

Bedroom 1 – Ground floor King Suite - King bed, beach view, doors leading directly to the pool terrace, cable TV, bath with tub/shower combo and dressing area – Access friendly.

Bedroom 2 – Ground floor bedroom with 2 Queen beds, Apple TV, bath with walk-in shower.

Bedroom 3 - Upper Level Master Suite - King Bed, beach view, doors leading to expansive 2nd floor terrace with sun deck in-front, walk-in closet, desk, Cable and Apple TV, bath with soaking tub, separate shower and dual vanities.

Prices are based on 12 person occupancy with $100/per person/per night for each occupant over 12. The 6-bedroom listing can potentially sleep up to 16.

*Please note:
Tatenda, like many villas along the south and east coast, has a shallow beach entry via swim paths amongst some silty seagrass patches for the first 50-75' from shore. South Sound can also experience the same seasonal sargassum that affects most of the Caribbean. Sargassum is a generally harmless floating seagrass that is more unsightly than anything.

Fortunately, the Seven Mile Beach area (SMB) of Grand Cayman does not ordinarily see sargassum accumulation. All beaches in Cayman are public up to the high-water mark so guests can visit the beautiful beach areas along SMB for sandy, walk-in swimming if the beach entry is not to your liking – ask us for daily recommendations.

Grand Cayman is a friendly and generally safe island so you'll want to visit many different beaches during your stay. Smith Cove, Spotts Beach, Governor's Beach, Tiki Beach, Public Beach, etc. are excellent beaches to visit and offer the beautiful swim in water.

This was a beautiful well maintained home right on the water. We were a family of 12 with all ages and found the home perfect for our stay. It was in a great central location. The hosts Kathy and Monique were so helpful and easy to get ahold of. We especially appreciated the little touches, like well stocked toiletries in the bathrooms! Would recommend for anyone!

Grateful to be back in Cayman, can't wait to book Tatenda again!

That week was such a treat, wish we could have stayed for longer - will definately be back, 'soon come' as they say! The suites gave us our own space and the living areas meant we could gather in our own ways. There's plenty of sunny and shady spots, the outdoor kitchen/grill was our favourite. Monique & Kathy were great hosts, made all the recommendations and bookings we needed. Loved experiencing Caymankind again!

Wonderful stay!

We had a great stay. The house was gorgeous, clean and very well stocked. The view from the property is spectacular. I was impressed, it was even better than the pictures online. I appreciated how well stocked the kitchen was for cooking. We cooked/ grilled many times during the stay. The grill and all the appliances were clean and working properly. The bedrooms are very spacious and most have en suite bathrooms, perfect for traveling with teenagers ( which we were ) The showers had plenty of hot water. The pool was very nice too! It was clean and the host had a box of toys and floating for guests. The location was convenient for finding a grocery store and local restaurants. I would absolutely stay again.

Girl cousin trip

This house was absolutely awesome for our group of 8 women. The kitchen is stocked with anything you need to make meals. A couple of us took paddle boards out many mornings to see the sunrise out by where the waves break. Yes some seaweed at the very first 50 feet but then crystal clear water out to the breaker wall. It was so fun and crystal clear water to swim in or just sit on your paddle board and take it all in. I would rent this house in a heartbeat.

Family Island Fun

Three families of friends (11 people) enjoyed a fantastic stay at Tatenda. The property is gorgeous - spacious, very well-appointed, with every amenity you need. Kathy and Monique were so easy to work with and incredibly responsive throughout our stay. They offered excellent recommendations for local resources (shops, restaurants, activities), and also helped keep us informed and ready with recently-changing COVID requirements. Check-in and check-out were easy and smooth, getting us in to enjoy paradise as soon as we landed. This is a wonderful home for travelers wanting to relax and enjoy a beautiful island setting, but also for those seeking to experience the underwater beauty of the Cayman coral reefs.

Took our kids and their significant others for a week long stay in Grand Cayman. Kathy and Monique did a fantastic job in preparation including emails on restaurants, golf reservations, dinner spots and island must see destinations. House was great! One of the best suggestions Kathy gave was the option for an in house chef one night at the house. We had a few hiccups, but these two are truely professional and took care of the issues asap.

Stunning Property - Excellent Location

"Tatenda" is an incredibly beautiful property. The outside is beautifully landscaped and meticulously maintained. The pool is the perfect size & very clean & the patio provides a wonderful extension to the living space. The house also has immediate private access to the white sand beach.The house itself is very well appointed with all the amenities of a home away from home. The living space is large open and inviting and suited our large group of family and friends perfectly. Communication with the property owner prior to our arrival was outstanding. Kathy often provided all the answers to our question before we'd had a chance to think of them! Grand Cayman is a lovely island with the chance to do all sorts of activities. Kathy gave us a great overview of everything and was very quick about answering any questions we had.I can't recommend this property highly enough!Thank you for sharing your wonderful home with us.

Incredible family trip

We’ve been to Cayman before and were so happy when it reopened for tourism. This trip was the best one yet because of where we stayed, hands down. Tatenda is not only a gorgeous home, but it was perfect for a group of our size (very large). We had plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms, but we also had multiple areas to lounge and spread out during our down time between excursions and time at the beach. The house was phenomenal, but the icing on the cake was Kathy. After meeting us at check-in and learning about our group, she made all of our restaurant reservations and even set us up with a fun diving trip that she joined us on. She is a gem! She is so knowledgeable about the island and went out of her way to make sure we had the best trip ever. This was our family’s favorite trip to Cayman and we will definitely stay at Tatenda next time we come back.

Our best “yoga retreat” so far…

Eight of us “girls” have been waiting for Cayman to reopen to take this trip and it was worth the wait. We were a bit worried about the travel protocols but it was easy. Getting travel declarations to arrive was no problem! We arrived at Tatenda and were blown away by the views—upstairs, downstairs and everywhere. For once we didn’t fight over the bedrooms because all are large with king-size beds, access to balconies and are decorated so beautifully. Yoga on the lawn & deck by the beach, beach walking, cocktails by the pool…it all was so relaxing. Plenty of sun loungers for our group too. Kathy was a great resource helping us plan a dinner and sail. The stingrays are not to be missed! I should mention that we only had 8 people but the house could easily have fit 20. Very large, lots of family gathering areas, plenty of dining space and the outdoor areas for dining and playing on the lawn. We’ll be back!

Our large family couldn't have been happier...

We really couldn't have chosen a better place for our family trip to Grand Cayman. Great location and the drive to George Town and Seven Mile Beach was beautiful and it was so easy, just right down the main road which didn’t have any roundabouts. We were so close to many restaurants and shops. There is a fabulous grocery store nearby, Hurley’s, that had so many pre-made dishes we hardly had to cook. Kathy took us snorkeling at Smith's Cove just minutes from the house. Such a beautiful, sandy beach and so many fish to see! The kids loved jumping off the rocks into the ocean. We usually stay in resorts but because of the size of our family we thought we'd try a private home this time. We made the right choice! Tons of gathering space and large bedrooms, beautiful, beachfront with a large backyard and great pool. The kids loved playing outside! And we loved that there were two bedrooms with their own bathrooms on the ground level so that my parents didn’t have to climb the stairs. The kids also loved napping in the second downstairs bedroom since it was easy to get back outside to play! The only thing I would change would be a longer stay! We will definitely be back to this little slice of heaven very soon.

Tatenda - Great Location

Our group of 15 easily fit on this enormous and beautiful home located near all the hot spots: Smiths Cove, 7 mile Beach, and all the beach restaurants. As we got to know the island we didn’t realize that this location in George Town was so close to all of the restaurants where we made reservations. Many of the other houses we looked out and passed on our drives at some point were much further away than we realized. The home is a first class, amazing home. Every detail is made to make your stay easy. A fully stocked kitchen made cooking a breeze. There is plenty of space to spread out - it never felt crowded. We spent most of our time in the pool as the beach is not swim-able or wade-able. We knew this prior to booking as Kathy was extremely attentive to all of our questions and needs prior to arrival. She was transparent about beach access and made it clear that her highest priority was that those who book have a clear understanding so that they will be happy if they choose Tatenda. Since Tatenda is so close to the beach it wasn’t a problem to pack up some snorkeling equipment plus beach chairs provided (available for guest use) for a short drive to the beach. One day we ate at Tillies for breakfast and then afterwards walked out to the beach and stayed for the day. I highly recommend Tatenda!

There are so many activities and restaurants nearby, we can’t wait to visit again. Beautiful inside and out! No issues, and friendly management engagement. How soon can we return????
