Starfish Villa… Luxury living, wonderful location, great value, and all the flexibility and freedom of a condo!
Looking for a place to get away from it all with all the modern luxuries of home?
Starfish Villa is private and secluded, yet close to all the necessary amenities. Within 20 minutes from the airport (direct flights from New York, Toronto, Chicago, Miami), 5-10 minutes to Seven Mile Beach, and a few minutes to the closest dive shop, Starfish Villa is a convenient, yet private location.
Enjoy walking, snorkeling, or relaxing in a chaise on Pappagallo Beach, the last unspoiled, and undeveloped beach on Grand Cayman. We are the only condo development on this gorgeous 2 mile stretch of pristine white beach against a multitude of turquoise variations. Adjacent to the National Park, Pappagallo Beach is abundant with marine and wildlife…a snorkeler’s and naturalist’s dream come true! Hiking trails, bird watching, kite sailing, and picnic activities are all available in the park. For those who like to fish, there are plenty of meals waiting to be caught right off the beach, and great bone fishing nearby.
This is a place where R&R is the number one priority. You can be as active, or inactive as you want. If you want to be part of the tourist scene of jet skiers, para-sailing, bars, cruise ship scene etc., Seven Mile Beach is just minutes away. If you want to sit on the beach with a good book, listen to the waves, watch the birds, dig your toes in the sand, count the shades of blue (so far, the list is at 80), and give yourself some space to re-charge, your chaise awaits you.
Our guests regularly tell us that it is the best vacation that they have had, and consequently, we have many repeat visitors. We take great pride in providing a very high standard of comfort, hospitality and an environment that is more than the average rental property. The décor, furnishings, appliances etc. are continually updated in an upbeat, island style. For those who like to cook, the kitchen is well-equipped with everything you could need, for those who prefer dining out, there is one of the best restaurants across the street, and another five minutes away. There is also take-out food and a grocery store nearby.
The unit has been set up with focus on comfort, efficiency and a great vacation experience. The unit is exceptionally light, clean, large, spacious, and uncluttered. Our guests repeatedly tell us that the unit is everything if not more than they expected and and how much they appreciate the welcoming ambiance and upbeat beach decor in white with splashes of tropical color. The unit is equipped with WIFI, cable TV, central air-conditioning,blow-dryers, games, and puzzles. There is a king size bed in the master and twins in the second bedroom (can be made into a king) and nearly everyone comments on how comfortable the beds are. There are four balconies with views off the unit and comfortable Muskoka chairs off the living room. The sunken living room has extra high ceiling which makes the unit feel larger and spacious. The unit is larger than many of the two bedrooms in the complex and the combination of good design and good furnishings make for a very comfortable living experience and consequently more enjoyable vacation.
If you are price comparing with other units in the complex you'll notice a price difference, but if you look a little closer, you will also notice a great price-value difference. This unit has no added extra guest costs, hidden taxes or fees etc. The price is upfront and all included. Our condo also has superior views, is excellently equipped, is regularly updated and is one of the best units in the complex. This unit has been approved by the Cayman Islands Department of Tourism, complies with all government regulations and is part of the Condos at Pappagallo Beach rental license. This means that you will receive a pre-vacation information package, be properly received by an appointed on island representative who will 'meet and greet' you and make sure you are comfortable with the apartment, and you will have a back-up support system if needed. In short, there are no 'surprises'. You have the peace of mind of knowing you have an invaluable organized support system before your trip and emergency back-up during your stay. Many of our guests tell us that the effort that goes into making their stay as informative and safe as possible is an added bonus that means a huge difference to their overall vacation experience. The attention to detail and extra TLC are some of the reasons many of them come back again.
Having owned Starfish Villa for nearly thirty years, we have enjoyed sharing our knowledge and experience with our guests in the hope that they leave with wonderful memories of their own. We spend a lot of time and energy to make this property a 'special place' and so far we are continually told that we surpass expectations. If you would like to know more about this condo, please feel free to contact us.

Our weeks vacation was excellent.The condo was very comfortable, clean and very true to the listing The property in general was very well maintained and we enjoyed the pool and walking on the beach. We enjoyed the proximity to governors beach and cemetery beach for snorkeling. Fabulous restaurants like calypso grill, cracked conch are with in a 2 mile radius and of course the 2 minute walk to papa gallos across the street. The owner lee was very responsive and went above a beyond to make sure we were comfortable, we would thoroughly recommend this condo!Recommended for: Families with teenagers, age 55+, romantic getaway, girls getaway, families with young children.

My boyfriend and I stayed here for over a week and didn't want to leave! The condo is so relaxing and comfortable, we had a great time making our breakfasts in the kitchen and eating them out on the balcony with that breathtaking view. The restaurants around the island are so delicious we had a hard time choosing where to go for our dinners. Luckily our favourite was just across the street - Ristorante Pappagallo. The location is great for anyone who wants to take in all the sights. The Turtle Farm, Stingray City and Seven Mile beach are all so close you can do them anytime! I recommend bringing a camera on your trip to Stingray city as our photos from that excursion are my favourite. If you truly want to relax and not leave the property, there is plenty of fun at the Starfish Villa with the beach, pool and sun to keep you relaxed and entertained. We spent so much time off the dock right in front of the property snorkeling. We only came in to have lunch and would go right back out. This is the perfect location whether you want a relaxing vacation or want a more active trip that includes lots of scuba, site seeing and restaurant hopping. It can be whatever you want it to be. Thank you for all of the help setting up our trip Lee. It would not have been the same with out your all of your insider’s knowledge! Looking forward to our next trip out.Recommended for: Families with teenagers, age 55+, romantic getaway, girls getaway, sightseeing, families with young children.

Our family enjoyed a fantastic stay at Starfish Villa. Everything that we needed or wanted was there... spacious living areas, a well-appointed kitchen, great view over the pool and ocean, the best dining that we found on the island across the road (Ristorante Pappagallo), and just the right combination of seclusion yet close proximity to amenities. The property is very clean and well maintained, and Lee took great care via phone and email to make sure that our questions were answered during the booking process and that we were well settled in after arrival. Our four-year old enjoyed the pools, the beach, the pelican and other birds on the pier, the nearby turtle farm, the parrots at Ristorante Pappagallo, the botanical gardens on the other side of the island, and the great seafood to be had everywhere we went. We would recommend the property to a friend or relative and would like to return one day!Recommended for: Families with teenagers, adventure seekers, romantic getaway, sightseeing, families with young children.

We had a great vacation and enjoyed the condo. It DOES have an amazing view! We loved the beach and pool. Condo was very comfortable- had everything we needed and I like the L shape and 2 story layout. It is in a very quiet location with a near private beach. It is an easy drive to the main attractions anyone might want to do. Lee, the owner, is very organized with every detail and all arrangements went perfectly. Any questions she is a phone call or email away. She also arranges a greeter to meet you at the condo upon arrival to introduce you. Very nice. We enjoyed all the restaurants we visited: Tiki Beach Cracked Conch Calypso Grille Deckers Papagallos We visited Caymana Bay and felt it was a hyped up bust for what it is. Left us feeling deserted in a created urban environment with stores you can't afford to shop in anyway : ) We booked a charter catamaran sail with Mainstay Sailing and it was outstanding. What a great day we had. We visited the Turtle Farm (my favorite place in the world). We went on Tues as we knew there were no cruise ships in port and it makes it all the better. A day of shopping in Georgetown and an afternoon jet skiing off Tiki Beach area rounded out the trip. The rest of the time I was sitting on the beach, very often enjoying it all by myself!! The family enjoyed visiting the beach at Calico Jacks and Tiki Beach in the late afternoon after the cruise shippers had left for a little more of the touristy beach feel. We had great weather (although I am not sure it could have been any more humid). Hot and lovely breezes. We would recommend your place anytime. Loved the décor and the linens- could not find the master bedding on IKEA though. I checked immediately! THANKS AGAIN for working on the fly with me. It all worked out beautifully.Recommended for: Age 55+, romantic getaway, girls getaway, sightseeing, families with young children.

For anyone looking for a quiet, relaxing beach vacation, this is the place! The beach is beautiful and the condo was very clean. There is a wonderful view of the ocean outside the master bedroom and living room. The kitchen is well-equipped and the whole place is very comfortable. Lee (the owner) even checked in with us the night of our arrival to make sure all met our expectations, and was readily available to help us with any questions we had. She even provided a very thorough packet of information pre-trip to help us make the most of our time there. It was so private, yet all the bustle of Seven Mile Beach is only about 10 minutes away! Everything is so close, but you feel like you have your own private beach! While there, we dined at Calypso (a long-time favorite), Agua, Luca, Pappagallo's - all were excellent. Other than that, we read and slept on the beach! Perfect vacation! Thank you Lee!Recommended for: Adventure seekers, romantic getaway, girls getaway, families with young children.

We loved your condo!! We wanted somewhere quiet and off of the beaten path. It was perfect for us. It was so quiet there, we had the place to ourselves. Fosters Food store wasn't too far and we could head down to Georgetown very easily too. Our favorite restaurant was The Wharf, but Pappagallo's was delicious too. The scuba diving was fantastic, we used Don Foster's and everything was perfect. The Caymanians are so friendly and overall we had a fantastic vacation. >Recommended for: Families with teenagers, adventure seekers, age 55+, romantic getaway, girls getaway, families with young children.

I just wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed our trip and your place. We snorkeled on Cemetary Beach, swam with the Stingrays, toured the turtle farm, drove around every inch of the island and met some of the nicest people, both local and visitors. We came back so relaxed and can't wait to plan another trip to the Caymans! Thank you so much for helping us out at the last minute. We were so glad to be where we were this week instead of in a hotel room! The condo was so roomy and the beds were so comfortable. It was also so nice to have a big kitchen. We ate breakfast at home and packed a soft cooler with lunch, snacks and drinks each day which saved us a fortune and allowed us to stay on the beach longer!Recommended for: Age 55+, girls getaway, families with young children.

Hi Lee Back home now and missing the warm Cayman sun. We really had a wonderful week! Everything went great after the first day. Leah went horseback riding with Nikki and got her dive certification at Don Fosters ( it was too windy at Cobalt coast). We loved the peacefulness of your place and the view from the deck where we spent a lot of time We had some great diving and sightseeing. Dinner at Villagallos was great - Thanks.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 1/1

Lee thanks for checking in. We had a very nice time. Your condominium was well suited for our trip and we were glad to be out of the main tourist areas for sure. The snorkeling was great and overall the trip was really fun. We tried to leave the condo in good order. So thanks very much.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 1/1

We wanted to thank you for letting us share your beach home. We enjoyed it thoroughly and my daughter loved breakfast at the beach, watching the pelican every morning, the turtle farm, Calico Jack public beach, and all the friendly people in the island.Did you find this review helpful?

Location
Owner info
Year Purchased: 1984
About the owner: We are a Canadian family who have owned at VP for nearly 30 years and love it as much as the day we bought. We enjoy walking the beach, watching the seabirds, snorkeling off the jetty, and experiencing the Cayman 'laid back' lifestyle. Sometimes our main activity/accomplishment is if we can figure out what to have for dinner and it usually means walking across the street to one of the best restaurants on the island Restorante Pappagallo!
Why the Owner Chose West Bay:
We have always loved that this unit is NOT on Seven Mile Beach. We have all the amenities close by within 5-10 minutes, yet we still have a very natural setting with the 'old Cayman' ambiance and are not inundated with cruise ship visitors, tourists, jet skis, para-sailing and water skiing.
The Unique Benefits at this Condo:
We have one of the best views in the complex. The condo is spacious, comfortable, clean, well appointed and regularly updated in an upbeat island style. Our guests tell us that they appreciate the small touches and comfortable beds. We are fully licensed and meet all the Department of Tourism requirements and we ensure that our guests have all the information they need before they leave as well as good back-up once they are on island.
