Get away from it all at "Rum and Kai", located at the Retreat in Rum Point. This beach front 1 bedroom condo is located in the stunning upscale vacation home enclave of Cayman Kai on beautiful Grand Cayman.
Completely renovated in 2003 with further updates in 2009, this 3rd floor unit is fully equipped with everything you will need for a relaxing beach front vacation. The unit is tastefully decorated with high-end furnishings and the finest linens; all in an understated, yet elegant tropical West Indies motif.
Featuring breathtaking beach and ocean views from the fully screened lanai and just steps from both the quiet pool and sandy white beach (fantastic for both swimming and snorkeling). The beach features both Palm and Casuarina trees for ample shade. Rum and Kai is the perfect size (1,039 sq. ft) for couples or a small family looking for a truly stress-free beach holiday.
Within walking distance to a pier, you are just minutes from the famous Sting Ray City and Cayman's renowned North Wall, also making Rum & Kai an ideal base for a Dive vacation.
With a king size bed, queen size sofa bed and twin pull out bed, Rum and Kai provides ample sleeping options. The fully equipped kitchen and available BBQ grills makes dining-in as easy as if you are home. But, since you are on vacation there are numerous restaurants located nearby.
In the unlikely event the weather forces you inside, you will appreciate the entertainment center featuring a large screen HDTV, Premium Cable, and a hard drive media center with over 250 movies and 700 TV episodes (many in HD). Classic board games and playing cards are also provided.
Conveniently next door is the popular Rum Point Club, featuring: restaurants, the Wreck bar, gift shop, water sports and snorkel rentals, dive shop and Sting Ray City trips.
The low density complex's amenities include: 1,200 feet of white sandy beach on the ocean (not some lagoon), pool, tennis court, fitness center, on-site management and the most amazing shades of blue the ocean can offer.
If your ideal beach vacation is to completely decompress by lounging or reading the day away on an empty beach (in the sun or shade); going for a dip or snorkel in the amazing water of the Caribbean; getting up for a bite to eat or to grab a drink; taking short day trips to see the sights; cooling off by the pool; ending the day by watching the sun set from the comfort of your lounge chairs; cooking in or dining out; then Rum & Kai at the Retreat may just be the place for you.
Far enough from everything you want to leave behind, yet close to everything you could need for a truly relaxing beach holiday.

Map & Owner's Profile
"Rum & Kai" Beach Front 1 Bedroom - Rum Point, Grand Cayman
Year Purchased: 2008
Why the Owner Chose Rum Point
We finally found our little piece of paradise and would love to share it with you. Having rented countless (OK, a lot) vacation properties, we are quite in tune with what makes an enjoyable vacation rental and what doesn't. The natural beauty of the Rum Point area coupled with the amazing snorkeling right off shore sealed the deal for us. Being located on the quiet side of the island was just an added bonus.
The Unique Benefits at this Condo
Our unit is on the 3rd floor which provides for exceptional views of the blue Caribbean sea and all the peace and quite inherent in a top floor unit. We strive to deliver an outstanding product with hassle-free service for each of our guests. In the unlikely event our on-site management company is unable to accommodate any needs you have that may arise, we are only a phone call or e-mail away from providing assistance. So please, no worries and we hope you enjoy Rum and Kai as much as we do.
Cushion Sea Stars line the shallows of this picturesque point. Great place to view the sunsets as well.
A beach club complex with restaurant, bar and water sports rentals. Tours to the famous Sting Ray City also depart from here.
Great place for affordable fresh seafood, Lively local bar. Check with the fisherman at the dock next door to see if they are selling any of their day's catch.
This is a 2.5 mile hiking trail, so be sure you have proper walking shoes with you if you plan to go far. It isn't necessary to hike the whole trail though. You can get a good feel for how the island
A 65-acre woodland reserve providing visitors a glimpse of Grand Cayman at its wildest and most natural. Features gardens, a hiking trail and native Blue Iguana sanctuary.
Pick up some cheap (relative) beer and take a tour of the island's only brewery.

While we love spending time at our Cayman home, we have some family members who cannot make the trip. So when we are back with them, it allows us to share our little abode with you.

You truly have a beautiful condo in an amazing location. The white sand and crystal water were beyond our imagination and take your breath away as soon as you enter the condo looking out on the ocean. With the accommodations your condo had to offer were that of a top rated hotel from the sheets to well appointed kitchen Rum and Kai had every thing we needed so we felt at home in paradise. The book you provided to introducing us to Grand Cayman was very helpful from amazing places to dine to the best snorkeling the island has to offer helped us get as much in as possible. We look forward to coming back and will recommend Rum and Kai to any one that wants a experience in paradise.

You will LOVE this place! My husband and I stayed here for 4 nights in June of 2011. It was absolutely perfect! The owners have thought of EVERYTHING when it comes to things that the renters might need or want during their stay. This place has it all! It's very clean, really roomy and decorated to match the feel of Grand Cayman and Rum Point. The view from the screened in deck is incredible! We spent mornings and evenings dining outside enjoying the turquoise water and sound of the waves. Just typing this makes me miss it! If our travels bring us back to Grand Cayman, this is definitely the place we would like to stay!

My wife and I booked this unit for the first four nights of our Cayman trip! Matt and Tracy were great at sending me information about the unit and the area prior to the trip. The condo was perfect for us and was even better than the pictures! It was furnished and decorated so well that we'd like them to come to our home and do the same ; ) We had everything we needed and more!!! We ate all our meals on the patio and had very nice candlight dinners. The NorthCoast Management on site were great and responded quickly when we called. Snorkeling was awesome and we highly recommend taking the walk to Cayman Kai and riding the current back to Rum Point- we saw stingray, all kinds of fish and even a friendly sea turtle! Some of the brain coral forms were as big as a Volkswagon Beetle!!! Bring everything you need to eat in, or go next door to Rum Point and enjoy the bar and grill and/or the restaurant. We had the catch of the day and split the entree' and and appetizer and were pleasanty full. The meal was very delicious. Over the Edge was also nice for an evening meal, but apply bug spray before you go out. Having Red Sail Sports nextdoor made it very easy to book our trip to Sting Ray City, A Must Do! A car is convenient to have to run for more groceries or Caybrew. It's also a nice way to see other beaches and the rest of the island! Matt and Tracy provide some great info in the unit if you want to go exploring. Thank you for allowing us to stay in your home! It was phenomenal and we'd do it all over again, maybe even with the kids!

Awesome beach rental

Review Submitted: 05/24/11
My boyfriend, sister and I stayed here and absolutely loved it. Being an amateur snorkeler, this area is a great place for beginners. My boyfriend and I saw squid, barracuda, stingrays, huge lobster, flounder, puffer fish, parrot fish, and much more. One of our favorite things to do was eat all our meals and read on the screened-in porch. Great amenities - washer/dryer, kitchen with utensils (pots, pans, dishwasher, flatware), extra snorkel gear. Would definitely stay again when returning to Grand Cayman. The area - Rum Point - was very nice as well. While it was far from the rest of the island, it was nice to get away from the hustle and bustle the cruise ships cause along 7 Mile Beach. Very relaxed and peaceful. The restaurant right next to the Retreat was great. I had yummy fish and chips and a strong mudslide haha.

Matt and Tracey were great from the initial inquiry for rental through the end of our stay. They answered all questions and provided plenty of information to help plan our vacation. The unit is very well appointed/decorated with all the amenities one could hope for in a vacation home and then some. The view from the screened in balcony is amazing. The unit overall seemed to be one of the best in the complex. The location of the complex is great in that it offers plenty of privacy even with Rum Point (popular tourist attraction) located right next door. The sunrises and sunsets were amazing (yes you can see both if you get up early enough). A car is a must if you wish to explore the island which we did. Drove to the turtle farm, seven mile beach and "into town" as well as exploring the east end. The beach is small but is very good. Be sure to bring reef/water shoes as there is a good amount of turtle grass and some rocks along with some sandy areas. Our 3 y/o had a blast making sand castles and looking at the "yucky crabs" and snails. During our stay the water was a little choppy and the wind was blowing pretty well. Overall the beach is good for swimming and snorkeling. Saw a baby sting ray near the beach and a barracuda under the dock. Did not venture all the way out to the coral gardens since the water was choppy but did see a variety of sea life snorkeling not too far from shore. As recommended by Matt & Tracey we ventured out to other beaches and were very glad we did. We tried Chester's and Over the Edge in terms of nearby restaurants and both were great. Would definitely recommend Rum & Kai to anyone looking for a quite but eventful (if you choose) getaway.

My wife and I just returned from our weeks stay in early April at "Rum & Kai". We have rented previously owned units throughout the Caribbean, FL, AZ, Maui and Canada. We must say that this unit comes with all of your essentials (+ many extras) to make your vacation enjoyable. Only your personal items will be all that you need. The in-suite washer/dryer is an added bonus to take home your duty free items as you will only need a few days worth of clothes. Previous comments and owner's desciption are accurate so we will not duplicate. Rum Point is very remote for those who enjoy solitude. You will need a car though to see other parts of the island and for restaurants. Dining is very casual dress from big city standards (shorts, golf shirt and sandals are the norm). "The Retreat" property is well maintained and the owners provide very useful info on where to dine, snorkel and dive, both before you arrive and in the unit itself. For those who wish to visit Seven Mile beach, the car trip is approximately 50 minutes and we enjoyed our full day there. Take along the owner's beach chairs, towels and cooler provided and beware of the cruise ship(s) visitors. NO DISAPPOINMENTS from us.

Wow - We had such an amazing time on our one week trip! The condo was really very well kept, and the decorating and comfort it had was a real treat. We went to various beaches across the island, and we believed the beaches right outside the condo (Rum Point) were the nicest on the island! We would definitely recommend this place to our friends and would absolutely stay there again. Overall, an amazing trip!

Very well maintained, fully stocked condo with everything a traveler would need to fulfill their beach getaway. We snorkeled right from their private beach. Across the beach is all the diving/snorkeling/water sports activities you could ask for. Walking distance to local restaurant and shop. Condo was PERFECT we would recommend to anyone and go back anytime!

We didnt want to leave. The condo was gorgeous, the resort was very well kept and had its own private beach. The condo had all the amenities plus everything else you would think you would need on a beach vacation ie beach bag, beach chair, towels, bug spray. It was so relaxing and the condo had a view of the clear blue water and white sandy beach!
