Northern Lights 3 - 2BR/2.5BA Oceanfront Condo w/ Pool & Dock on Northside
Summary:
Northern Lights #3 is a bright and beachy 2 bedroom, 2.5 bath, two story oceanfront townhome in a quiet 9 unit community along Grand Cayman’s North Side coast.
Conveniently located in Old Man Bay, this peaceful retreat is typically about a 35–40 minute drive from Owen Roberts International Airport in George Town and offers beautiful views over a protected Marine Park reef just steps from your screened lanai.
With a private beach, pool, dock, and complimentary kayak, it is ideal for couples or families seeking an off the beaten path, snorkeling friendly getaway.
The Space:
2 Bedrooms | 2.5 Bathrooms | Sleeps 6
LIVING AREA & INTERIOR FEATURES
• Bright open plan living area with beachy décor, flat screen TV, Apple TV, DVD player, and cable.

STARTER ESSENTIALS PROVIDED
Your stay includes a handy starter supply of:
• Paper towels, dish soap, dishwasher detergent, and laundry detergent.
• Coffee, tea, and basic cooking items such as spices and condiments.
OUTDOOR AMENITIES
• Large freshwater pool with cobblestone deck and lush tropical landscaping, just steps from your screened lanai.
• Approximately 240 feet of private natural beachfront with sweeping Caribbean Sea views.
• Private dock with swim platform and a traditional thatched cabana, perfect for sunset viewing and watching rays, turtles, and fish pass by.
• Complimentary 2 person kayak, snorkeling gear, and two beach chairs for guest use.
• Optional extras such as adult bikes, fishing rods, and lawn games are available on request (subject to availability).
BEACH & WATER ACCESS
Northern Lights #3 sits directly oceanfront on Grand Cayman’s North Side, with approximately 240 feet of private natural sandy beachfront and beautiful views over a protected Marine Park reef. This stretch of coastline is wonderful for shore snorkeling and diving, with coral, rays, turtles, and tropical fish often spotted just offshore, and easy access from the dock’s swim ladder and platform.
The beach here is a natural shoreline, better suited for snorkeling, beachcombing, and relaxing by the water than for long sandy walks or shallow wading right in front of the condo. Underfoot you’ll find a mix of sand and coral, and water entry is typically from the dock into deeper water over the reef rather than a gentle sandbar. For comfort, we recommend wearing water shoes or fins when entering the sea and always checking daily sea conditions before going in.
If easy, classic sandy swimming is a priority, there are several great options a short drive away:
• North Side and Cayman Kai public beach areas offer softer sand and more traditional walk in swimming.
• Rum Point Beach and the Kaibo area provide sandy entry, beach chairs, and water sports, and are an easy drive from the condo.
Many guests love the quiet, reef front setting here for its snorkeling, views, and peaceful atmosphere; please review the photos and description to ensure it matches the kind of beach experience you’re looking for.

We had the most relaxed vacation at northern Lights. We enjoyed swimming right off the dock and in the pool and waking up to the beautiful views every day. It’s a private oasis and I would definitely visit again.
Great location for those that want something away from the hustle and bustle of 7 Mile Beach. This property with its pool and dock were fantastic attributes. It was a bit windy so the pool was great to have as an alternative to the ocean on those days. Best snorkeling we found on the Island was right off the dock, in a protected Marine Reserve!Perfect choice for us.
We stayed a week for our spring break. Property was clean and in great shape. Loved the little touches like the Rum cake and chocolate for the kids. The view was amazing and we loved the little dock which was great for watching the sunset and a little fishing in the evening. Also, very laid back compared to some other parts of the island but close enough to some great restaurants and activities. Snorkeling was also fun right off the property. Wife loved it as well and would definitely come back.
This was the fourth trip my family has taken to Grand Cayman and our first time staying at Northern Lights.The other reviews are accurate! This condo is fully equipped with everything you could need and the hosts have also provided items you may have forgotten to pack plus left delicious rum cakes!The views are spectacular! We loved snorkeling right off the dock- every day. Our teens loved the pool and soaking up the rays.It was exactly what we were looking for. Definitely will return!
We stayed at Northern Lights #3 and from the moment we walked in we were in 'Awe'. The place is very clean, the views are breathtaking, the kitchen is well stocked and the additional spices and condiments that are provided were a very nice touch. We stayed in Cayman in 2021 at Rum Point and found this place to be much nicer and 'more bang for your buck' :). Our friends that came with us for the first time to Cayman also agreed the place was stunning and the fact that it is a bit off the beaten path is something we all agreed we liked. Very quiet location, the pool and dock was also a nice convenient way to spend a few days away from the hustle. Highly recommend this location to anyone traveling to Cayman.
