An amazingly surreal vacation

I was fortunate enough to stay at Caymanease in Grand Cayman this past August. The island, property, house, and location are absolutely amazing. Honestly, it was such a surreal vacation. Every moment just felt like a dream. The property is located on a more "local" part of the island. It is quiet and private. There is plenty to do and see on this side of the island. It’s close to Rum Point (my favorite- grab a Cayman Lemonade and walk along the white sand beach or take them out and relax in the water) as well as great restaurants and reefs. The beautiful botanical garden is also close by where you can enjoy a beautiful walk and see plenty of blue iguanas (very cool!). As for the house, it is immaculately maintained and the perfect vacation house. It is a beautiful new house, which doesn’t feel like a house, it feels like a home. There was plenty of room for our group (I went with family) including a fully equipped kitchen. There is also plenty of space to lounge- a living room to watch movies at night, an outdoor (screened) patio and a dining table to sit together and play games :) The two upstairs bedrooms all have large bathrooms (with two sinks and a large shower) as well as a daybed and a place to sit under the window and lookout onto the reef (my favorite place to wake up and read). We spent a lot of time in the backyard (which is the beach!) lounging in the sun, reading, playing ladder ball, drinking a nice cold one or two (or three…). The house also has a pool, which I didn’t understand when I got there because the ocean was just as close to the house, but it ended up being really nice to jump in the pool and cool off. The house also has kayaks to take out and paddle around the reef. You can also grab your snorkel and swim out, there are plenty of reefs and fish to see (it is really incredible). We all had such an amazing time at Caymanease. It was horrible to leave (no one was ready for it, it was actually very sad!) but was really just the most amazing vacation ever. Relaxing, beautiful, perfect. I go back there in my head almost daily. Can’t wait to return. Thank you, Caymanease, for being the perfect host :)

Phenomenal Vacation Home

We had been to Grand Cayman before and knew we wanted something on the quieter North Side. Caymanease was exactly what we were looking for...right on the beach with its own private pool! The house was beautifully decorated and comfortably slept our family of five along with three grandparents. Cheryl was so, so helpful even before we booked it and she provided us with great information from where to eat, where to shop and where to play! Our children (ages 3,5 and 7) spent hours and hours in the pool and our 5 year old even learned to snorkel there! The North Side is so quiet and uncrowded you can truly relax and there are plenty of restaurants to try. We enjoyed every meal, but Tukka was definitely our favorite. The house is very accessible for scuba diving and Sting Ray City trips and just lovely for sand castles and kayaking too. We have already recommended this home to friends and would love to return ourselves. Thanks Cheryl and Mitzi for a phenomenal family vacation!

Caymanease is truly a 5-star experience! As soon as one walks in the door they know this is not your typical vacation rental - it is truly a home that the owners have obviously taken much care and thought in decorating and furnishing. I loved the beautiful colors, tasteful furnishings, and how everything one could possibly want or need is provided. And the views!!! It was truly paradise to sit on the lovely porch and gaze out at the water. And to be able to step out your back door to your very own private beach and snorkel in your own "back yard" was heaven! I also loved how conveniently located the house is to a number of wonderful restaurants. Thank you, Caymanease, for providing a memorable vacation - we look forward to returning!!

An Amazing House with a pool and private beach

Caymanease is a wonderful place! The beautiful colors, decorations, lovely bathrooms, outstanding fully stocked kitchen (granite countertops and colorful dishes), wonderful large bedrooms (very comfortable beds), screened in porch, clean refreshing pool, and your own private beach. Need I say more? There were plenty of good restaurants nearby, but why leave the house. If you want to go out, it was nice to have a good option to walk to which was Over the Edge. Probably the best thing about Caymanease is the wonderful snorkeling just off your own private beach. I can’t wait to go back!

The most relaxing vacation ever! The house had plenty of space and had everything needed to live comfortably. We spent much of our time on the private beach and exploring the waters on kayaks and snorkeling around the nearby coral . The local restaurants are very welcoming and the food was delicious. Furthermore, the owner was very friendly and shared much of her knowledge to make this trip unforgettable. We will definitely do it again!

I recently returned from an absolutely stunning vacation in North Side, Grand Cayman. Choosing this rental truly made our vacation one that we will never forget!! The vacation home had breathtaking views and was located right on its own private beach. The rental was a perfect home away from home, fully stocked with every kitchen accessory imaginable. During the trip, we had access to our own private pool to cool off in as well as kayaks to chase after waves! The decor inside the home was vibrant and lively and provided a tranquil feel to the entire stay. The screened in porch was one of the many things I fell in love with in this house. It provided a lovely place to sit back and enjoy the sound of the ocean in the evenings. I could not have asked for a better vacation and staying at Caymanease provided our group with the most amazing vacation. We cannot wait to come back next year and highly recommend this rental to all of our friends.

Caymanease is Fabulous!

Caymanease is a beautiful home in Grand Cayman on the North Side. It is very quiet and the private beach offers amazing snorkeling. We can't say enough about the entire experience. The owner, Cheryl, is very friendly and provides loads of information about the island. The pictures on-line really do not do the home justice, it is not just a three bedroom, three and a half bathroom house, it is a "Home". The moment you enter you can't help but smile. The colors are bright and welcoming, the floor plan is open and spacious, the kitchen provides everything you need to cook meals. The extra ice maker in the laundry area really came in handy for packing a small cooler everyday. There are two bedrooms with bathrooms upstairs and one bedroom with a bathroom downstairs. We loved not having to share a bathroom! The porch is a great place to sit and watch the sunrise, it is one of my favorite memories and if I close my eyes I can almost feel the warm breeze and hear the soft waves breaking on the beach. If you are trying to decide on a place to stay in Grand Cayman, Caymanease is fabulous!

Caymanease is by far the best vacation rental I have ever found! The photos did not even do the house justice; it was even more beautiful and picturesque in person. The house smelled fresh and clean when I arrived, and the beds were extremely comfortable and very clean as well. The owner was very responsive and easy to get a hold of. I loved spending the day at Rum Point where you could have the "hotel" experience of there being a bar and water activities. I also enjoyed taking a boat out to both sting ray cities and beautiful snorkel spots. However there was no need to even go on the boat to find great snorkeling since there were great reefs in from of the house. I loved the privacy of Caymanease, and I would definitely recommend this property. I look forward to returning next year!

My husband and I and two of our friends stayed at Caymanease from Nov 28 - Dec 13, 2009 and had a wonderful stay. The house was VERY well appointed and comfortable. Georgia, the property manager, made special arrangements with us to get us keys since we were arriving on the island later in the evening. The house provided good guidance to restaurants and local attractions. They suggested a good dive shop and several good eateries. The house itself has top notch appliances and a well appointed kitchen. There were ample bath and beach towels. Laundry facilities were a BIG plus. The rooms were comfortable and well furnished and decorated. There was a selection of videos and books if you were interested in a "night in". There is WiFi and cable as well as iPod capabilities. The beach is just outside your door and there is a lovely pool as well. The house was spotless when we arrived. We loved our stay and would DEFINITELY stay again!

Peace and tranquility at its finest!!! We had a fantastic time staying at Caymanease. The house is beautifully decorated with all of the colors of the sea .... it makes you smile as soon as you drive up!! The kitchen has top notch appliances, the furnishings are gorgeous and the view from the large screened in porch is fantastic! You look out on a totally private beach - in fact one of our favorite things to do was sit in the lawn chairs on the beach in our PJ's with our morning coffee!!! It was so peaceful!! Once we got motivated we enjoyed snorkeling and kayaking right in front of the house. We also enjoyed cooling off in the swimming pool. We loved not having to be surrounded by hordes of tourists! Caymanease is a true slice of heaven!!!
