AMENITIES

"Cayman Castle" (see before photos) is located in the East End of Grand Cayman Island and often enjoys a trade wind breeze (no bugs), which make it  unnecessary to screen in the oceanfront spaces. While we can have "dead calm" days, they are rare. The breeze averages only 5-10mph-- so it isn't like the (usual) north shore of Maui!

 The architectural focal points of the villa are the infinity-edge pool, balcony, multi-level oceanfront stone patios, curved retaining walls and a commanding  panoramic view over the East End Reef. This home is all about the outdoors (why you come to Cayman)--The second floor offers a very large (1,000 sq. ft.) family room/TV Area/kitchen and private 600 sq. ft. roofed balcony with panoramic views (see aerial photos). Heavy (coral white) cast railings (42" tall) on the terraces/decks for safety.  Crimson bougainvillea in the planters  make a nice contrast against the sage green stucco exterior. Three large oceanfront patios (on the rock point below the infinity pool) for sunbathing, weddings, massage table location or band set-up.

The 2BR Castle Guesthouse, located 80 feet from castle to the North, matches the Castle in architectural style, furnishing and quality. It has a  private cliff-edge pool, roofed patio and irrigated zoysia lawn & privacy wall between it and the Castle.  A/C, laundry, kitchen, Plasma (satellite) TV, DVD, ceiling fans, Charcoal BBQ etc.  Guesthouse guests can enjoy the Castle beach by walking around the masonry wall at the driveway. The shoreline below the Castle Guesthouse is rocky "iron-shore" and some sand.   Guesthouse also has  overflow parking spaces for 6-8 cars for large groups/weddings when rented with the Castle. We have (3) thatched palapas on the beach as well as kayaks and sand chairs.

Like the other rental villas in Cayman Kai, Northside & Rum Point, we are about 19-20 miles (35-45 minutes) due East of the Airport. 

The "Wreck of the 10 Sails" monument/park and the Royal Cayman Police Constable's residence  are directly next door (500' of  government land that will never be developed). To the south, the Castle is only 250 yds. from the best dive operator on the island, Ocean Frontiers . Vivine's Backyard  (great casual lunch, Cayman Islands Style-150 yds. North) and Arlain's Restaurant to the South (250 yds). We are also just 1.5 miles South of Portofino's restaurant (Best in East End). The East End of the island also has restaurants at both the Morritt's Tortuga Club and The Reef timeshare/resort. The Lighthouse restaurant is only 10 minutes away by car. Finally, Roland's Garden is only a 10 minute drive- where there are no menus, no bill (you pay him what you think is right) and you bring your own wine/beer (reservations required). It is a campy, umbrella table dinner in a retired chef's front-yard garden--that you will never forget (recommended).
