-Many beaches around Grand Cayman are protected by Ironshore along the shoreline, and while you may notice a small amount of Ironshore at Far Tortuga, there is plenty of soft, white sand for our guests to enjoy. The beach provides easy access to the water for activities like kayaking, snorkeling, and swimming. Right in front of the house lies the Barrier Reef, offering protected snorkeling just waiting for you to explore. For foot protection, water shoes or fins are recommended, given the abundant marine life and coral. While beaches in Grand Cayman may occasionally experience floating ocean debris and sargassum weed, which is a generally harmless floating seaweed that has become more frequent in recent years, it is mostly seasonal, particularly in the summer.

This was a spectacular place for a large group like ours. 4 generations. Amazing view. Great snorkeling accessible by the short ladder from the dock or with water shoes. Close to Rum Point and all there is there. We headed east for brunch in Sunday. Tukka is a must for that. All rooms are suites except the small bunk room . This is such a we equipped and spacious plac. Highly recommend.

Everything was wonderful, kitchen furnishings were more than ample for our large family vacation (18 people total ages 3-72) Would definitely recommend, we really enjoyed the quiet side of the island and spending time at Rum Point beach; also be sure to swim with the stingrays, it was amazing The most difficult part of our trip was learning to drive on the left side of the road!! :) The owner made it very easy to reach him if we had any issues and wanted to be sure everything was to our satisfaction, which it most definitely was.

Far Tortouga was an absolute dream for our family. The home is equipped with everything you need and the furnishings are cozy. Our family is finicky about beds and bedding and these were soft and plush. Snorkeling the reef in the back yard every day was everyone’s favorite past time. We rented a car and enjoyed getting around the entire island and experiencing the local food and culture. Brad was delightful to work with and he’s very passionate about Grand Cayman, all his recommendations were a huge hit. Thank you for the incredible memories and sharing your beautiful space with us. We will be back!

Far Tortuga, a perfect oceanfront getaway
Check-in and Check-out were very simple and hardly required any effort. We had two adult couples and 8 teenagers in the main house and West Cottage. We didn't rent the East Cottage. The house was a perfect fit for us. Modern, updated, clean and plenty of room for the twelve of us. Very fully stocked, with every dish and kitchen utensil we needed to cook our own meals and plenty of storage containers for leftovers, plus the two fridges and two coffee pots were fully utilized. Beach towels, snorkel gear and four kayaks all were used. The pool was used every day, the gazebo at the end of the dock was the evening hangout for the teens while the adults claimed the beach front lounge chairs. Plenty of parking out front for more than three cars. The location is private, quiet and convenient. Brad, the property owner, earns the best rank for host when it comes to customer service, friendliness and response. We rented the property six months before the trip. A few times before the trip and a couple times while in the house, we messaged Brad and he ALWAYS responded within minutes. He made us feel very welcome and was helpful with every request. Thanks Brad for the amazing property and fro being a great host.

Far Tortuga is Awesome
Beautiful home in a magical setting. My family with grandkids ranging from age 1 to 13 all had a wonderful time at this house. The pool was perfect temps for even the littlest and the oldest loved every sunrise and sunset under the gazebo on the dock. The house was loaded with all the things needed to spend a relaxing week in the Caymans. Loved it all! The host communication is 110%. Super experience!

Amazing!
Far Tortuga on Grand Cayman was awesome. The Villa is spacious, with a private sand beach, a nice heated outdoor pool, massive pool deck that we all hung out on, and a long dock that we fished off of and snorkeled to a coral reef closeby. What really struck me is how large the villa is from the inside. It was able to accommodate all 16 of us with ample privacy. The location is quiet, perfect for relaxing but also close to exploring the island and going to beachfront restaurants. Brad, the host, is super friendly, quick to respond, gave us tons of suggestions on where to eat and activities to do and made sure we had everything we needed. Overall, it’s a great spot to escape the cold and unwind in paradise! We are coming back next year.

Far Tortuga is the perfect island escape! The home is stunning, spacious, comfortable, and set right on a pristine stretch of beach. Waking up to breathtaking ocean views, stepping out onto the soft sand, and snorkeling in the crystal-clear waters just steps from the house made this an unforgettable stay. The private pool and outdoor space were perfect for relaxing and soaking in the beauty of Grand Cayman.Brad, the host, was incredibly responsive and made everything seamless, while the on-island manager, went above and beyond to ensure we had the best experience. Their hospitality made our stay even more special.If you’re looking for a private, peaceful retreat with a beautiful beach and top-notch service, Far Tortuga is it! We can’t wait to return.

What a Great Getaway
Six couples in our family stayed at Far Tortuga for a week and had a wonderful getaway. The house accommodated us very well. Each couple had a private bedroom with its own en-suite bath, and the gathering spaces were large enough for all of us to play games, dine together, watch TV, or just visit. We snorkeled and kayaked right off the private pier and enjoyed sitting outside or in the screened porch every morning. The kitchen is well equipped, and we used it a lot. Brad and Gigi were great hosts and responsive to our needs in a timely way. We recommend Far Tortuga if you plan a trip to Grand Cayman.

Wonderful property, well appointed, great location
We spent Chrismas week at this newly-renovated property. It’s in a great location, close enough to all of the amenities at Rum Point (parks, beaches, water sports, restaurants) but far enough where you feel secluded with your own pool and beach. We loved both the house and the area and would stay here again.The property was just renovated and was light and airy. Everything was well appointed. The kitchen had every pot and pan and utensil imaginable, even a crock pot and rice coooker. Plenty of plates and utensils. Bedrooms were nice, all new bathrooms, and fold out beds in every closet so we could arrange where the kids stayed easily. The bunk bed even had a trundle. The owner was very accommodating with providing cribs and high chairs on request.Beach was great, a bit rocky and some seaweed but not a problem and there was plenty of beach for the kids to play on. Great snorkeling location, lots of conch and easy to wade out to the reef, and there is plenty of snorkel equipment pro. Rum Bay is a 10 minute drive, the beach nearby at Starfish Point is very nice soft sand as is the one at Rum Point Resort where you can have someone bring you frozen drinks all day if you want that. We made a couple of trips to the west side / seven mile for activities but we liked staying on Northside and would do so again. The property manager was highly responsive to our minor issues and questions. This is a well managed property in nice shape, great for extended family stays.

Already Planning a Return
Our friends were looking for a relaxing, beach getaway and Tortuga did not disappoint. The property is absolutely breathtaking and meticulously kept. With our party of 10, we easily had our own spaces. The open area kitchen was great for cooking and meal preparation.Brad went above and beyond to ensure that we had a relaxing and entertaining stay. From dining recommendations nearby to the on site kayaks and snorkeling equipment, the amenities were superb. We are already discussing when we can return as a group with friends or family. Thank you Brad for the immaculate beach property and responding to all our inquiries promptly.
