Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us this week! We are taking home so many memories - the ocean view, snorkeling, kayaking and relaxing by the pool.

Date of Stay: 01/02/12 Review Submitted: 02/13/12

What a wonderful place to decompress after our son's wedding, and to enjoy with family. The house is lovely, comfortable and well-equipped; the setting is spectacular! We swam, snorkeled, biked, kayaked, star-gazed and relaxed. Cooked in and ate out: Vivine's, Tukka, The Italian Kitchen....all good. Thanks for the very detailed information binder, the large soft beach towels and cooking equipment we could use! We loved the neighborhood too - a delight all around.

What a wonderful place to spend our vacation. We got some rain and wind, but it didn't dampen our spirits one bit! We went to Georgetown several times, played hand and foot (the girls won!) and found some conch shells on the beach. Our last "Family Mystery Trip", bittersweet, but the perfect place to end - one of the folks favorite places. The water was warm as bathwater. What a wonderful place to spend 2 weeks.

We had a wonderful time here at Windward Cove! There really isn't a bad place to stay in, but we really love it here in East End. Your location was perfect for a relaxing vacation. We snorkeled Rum Point, Morrits dock, Cayman Kai beach and did a deep sea fishing charter. Afternoons were spent swimming and kayaking and we enjoyed sitting on the porch at night. Some good thunderstorms, but mostly at night. This was our 2nd stay here at Windward Cove and we look forward to returning soon! Thanks for everything! Jennifer R. and Family, IL

Our family has created some precious forever-memories at Windward Cove. Thank you so much for sharing your piece of paradise! We enjoyed every aspect of your home - the games, books, kayaks, pool, beach, kitchen, grill, lovely garden - and found it the perfect launching spot for other adventures around the island, and then we were always glad to return to the privacy and tranquility again. Thank you for all the wonderful info in your binder and ahead of time. We worked with photographer Courtney Platt and would also recommend him, and for your quick and helpful responses to all our questions!

(By Emma, 12 years old) I really like playing in the pool. It's 80 degrees and it's one of the most fun things here too! I also like snorkeling in the ocean; the coral reefs are beautiful! The tropical fish are very colorful and cool. We went to see dolphins, and that was SO fun11 I love the Cayman islands and I hope we can come here again next year. It is so warm and sunny here, so different from back in Chicago. Thanks, Emma. ps. thank you for keeping well-stocked shelves of books, fun to see what others bring. April 2011

Thank you for opening your lovely East End home to those of us less fortunate in weather. It melted away our stress and cold winter mutterings with your lovely wide porch, soft air and warm waters. Thank you for providing an excellent binder with info for encouragement to snorkel. We found the magic world under the sea, lovely coral heads "three telephone poles down and 50 yards out". This is our second time here at your house, this time being very different as we grew braver of the water. With heavy hearts and gratefully, fondly. Peter B. & Family, IL April 2011

We can't imagine a more perfect setting. We loved the house, the porch, the deck, pool and beach. Enjoyed cooking in your well-stocked kitchen. Lots of corners for members of our family to sneak off. Great selection of books - and we left some of ours too. We took a few drives to Georgetown, 7 Mile Beach and Rum Point - it reassured us that we were in the most perfect location on Grand Cayman.

We have enjoyed our stay so much that we don't want to leave. Windward Cove is a wonderful combination of comfort, beautiful scenery and great planning. Every detail seems to be considered. The kitchen is so well equipped, I'm not sure I'll notice the difference when we go home. We ate on the screened porch almost every night and enjoyed the view and breezes. We used the pool every day too. As busy as we were with diving and snorkeling, I particularly enjoyed the chance to take a book to the lounges on the beach and read in the shade of the casuarinas. It's been a great vacation! Gail M. & Family, Canada

What a wonderful time we all had (9 people) at this property. The owners took care of everything one needs. The beach was beautiful, it was quiet and peaceful and not too far away for shopping, 7 mile beach and any attractions. The pictures portray exactly what you get. It was acceptionally clean and well stocked with everyday items. Would absolutely come back and recommend it to anyone.

The house was amazing. The pictures on the website are good, but in real life the property is even better. The private beach and pool were beautiful. Our three year old daughter loved playing on the beach and we spent alot of time in the pool. The landscaping in the front was very well done. The house is in very good condition and very, very clean. We left the house only a few times, but were always glad to come back. Great location and quiet. Jack and Maria were very helpful with any questions that we had. Just the escape we were looking for. We hope to return again.

We enjoyed our stay here at the house and the island. Great snorkeling @ the 4th telephone pole to the left when facing the ocean. Our kids loved parasailing (okay...so did we) and Stingray City. We loved the food at Over the Edge. Rum Point was a family favorite, you must go there. We sat outside late at night with a bowl of popcorn, watching the crabs, they are quite amusing to watch. We took pictures of our kids in Santa hats for X-Mas postcards. Great Vacation! Thanks for the great home. Keith H. & family. TX
