Abita Kai: ADA-Friendly Villa Walkable to Restaurants, w/Pool, Dock, & Sandy Beach
***Property Overview*** Welcome to Abita Kai (pronounced A-bit-a Kai), a spacious oceanfront villa with a detached guest cottage, plus a private pool, dock, and sandy backyard beach. The calm, shallow waters behind this home offer a wide palette of blue and turquoise colors along with glowing orange sunsets.
The most unique feature of Abita Kai is that the villa, pool deck, and beach are wheelchair-accessible. The elevator, pool lift, and beach wheelchair are available upon request. It is the only large luxury villa that offers this level of accessibility.
The estate includes a 3 bedroom, 4 bath main villa with a detached 2 bedroom, 2 bath guest cottage above the garage. With a galley kitchen and living area, the guest cottage is a great option for teenagers, grandparents, or live-in staff to reside on-premises yet maintain privacy under separate roofs.
The estate is licensed by the Cayman Islands Department of Tourism to sleep 16 guests total, or 12 adults max. Children under 2 do not count against occupancy. Pack-n-plays and baby gear are provided complimentary through our Guest Services team.
Sleeping Arrangements (Sleeps 16 guests total, 12 adults max) -- Bedroom 1: primary suite, upper level, waterfront views, king bed, cable HD television, walk-out access to a shared screened balcony, ensuite with dual vanity, large roll-in shower with dual showerheads, bench, and handrails. -- Bedroom 2: upper level, waterfront views, two queen beds, walk-out access to a shared screened balcony, ensuite with shower bath and separate shower. -- Bedroom 3: lower level, waterfront views, king bed, walk-out access to a screened atrium, ensuite with shower. -- Bedroom 4: detached guest cottage, partial ocean view, king bed, private furnished balcony, ensuite with shower. -- Bedroom 5: detached guest cottage, two pairs of bunk beds (queen-over-queen + twin-over-twin), ensuite with shower bath.
The oceanfront two-story screened atrium spans the entire width of the main house, allowing guests to savor tropical Caribbean views from all 3 oceanfront bedroom suites, including the living room and kitchen.

This home ticks all the boxes for a large, active family looking for the privacy of a luxury villa within walking distance of watersports and dining options at the Kaibo and Rum Point Club.
The Kaibo sits across the street and offers watersport rentals, gourmet dining, casual beachfront dining, take-out service, and a coffee shop. A passenger ferry operated by Cayman Ferries departs to Camana Bay & Seven Mile Beach from the Kaibo Marina.

***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. 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.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 5 bathrooms, and a balcony. There's space to spread out with 5 bedrooms and a dining area. A Smart TV comes with cable channels and a DVD player, and guests can stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a private pool, a washing machine, and a coffee maker.

Wonderful accessible home- perfect vacation!
We brought our two grown children, their spouses, and 5 grands to Grand Cayman for our retirement celebration. The main house is very comfortable with large open spaces. Bedrooms comfortable. Cottage was used for all the grandkids (ages 7, 11, 15, 19, 20). Large bunk room for the boys and the king room for the girls. Washer and dryer in this area was a plus. TV used for their Nintendo Switch games- lots of fun. Internet was fast and a good signal everywhere in both the cottage and the main house. We have one family member who is in a wheelchair. The main house the elevator was amazing and worked perfectly. The large shower, shower chair and beach wheelchair also made this vacation enjoyable and easy for our disabled guest. The pool lift worked well and was quite an unexpected blessing. The WC accessible dock was great. The view is so beautiful!! All the kids swam daily. Lots of cool sea life- puffer fish, yellow snapper, starfish, and colorful blue fish. We walked over to Kaibos and ate some meals and had grocery delivery, Charter boat picked us up at our dock and took us to visit Stingrays and the Reef. Perfect!! We loved this place! Hope to return soon!!

Amazing once in a lifetime family vacation
This was the perfect villa for our family of 9 to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary, our daughter’s 40th birthday and grandson’s 18th birthday. We had a late arrival and were given clear information regarding access to the villa. We arranged to have groceries and snorkel gear delivered to the villa prior to our arrival which was very helpful. The villa was beautiful and the guest house was perfect for our daughter’s family with young children. They loved running back and forth to the main house. We spent the week swimming in the pool and ocean right out our back door. There were many starfish along our sandy beach and it was fun to watch a small, colorful fish swim in and out of a conch shell by the dock. Morning coffee and occasionally yoga on the dock was amazing. Our family loves to cook and the kitchen was well appointed. We had family dinners in the screened porch at the glass table every evening. We had an issue with the main refrigerator initially but Angella was very quick to respond and make sure the issue was resolved. It was great having an outdoor shower. We loved having the kayaks, paddle board and a good selection of life jackets available for our use. The location of the villa was perfect and a short walk to starfish point and Kaibo. We chartered a boat trip to stingray city and several snorkeling spots with Blue Haven charters. Blair and Braeden were amazing tour guides! A perfect ending to a perfect vacation at Abita Kai.

This property is simply perfect. We bought groceries for the week and never left the property! Gourmet kitchen, spacious home, and infinity pool overlooking the water. Swam during the day and relaxed in the screened in porch all night! Wonderful experience from beginning to end. I would highly recommend!
