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.

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.

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.
