Cayman Island Beachfront Condo-on Ocean,Cayman Kai/Rum Point- CAYMAN STEAD

Our family thoroughly enjoyed Spring Break 2018 at North Pointe Condos/Cayman Stead. The view from the second floor lanai is amazing and our family enjoyed each other’s company with a cup of coffee every morning overlooking the awesome ocean view! Both king beds were comfortable. The pull out sofa bed, well, it’s a sofa bed. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed to cook our own meals as we desired. All we had to do was add the groceries! The ice maker was even able to keep up with our demand! The stairs could be a bit challenging for anyone with physical limitations, but our group didn’t have any problems. The air conditioner worked well when we used it. We only ran it at night. During the day we were able to enjoy Caribbean breezes by opening the windows and the three sliding glass doors which opened to the lanai. We enjoyed the cat that lives on the grounds. He/she was so friendly and yet not bothersome in any way. It was also helpful having two full baths, one connected to each bedroom, and the washer and dryer came in useful too. Although Cayman Stead could use some updating/de cluttering, those things certainly didn’t hinder our vacation. Staff was easy to work with and resolved any issues we had. I would recommend North Pointe Condos/Cayman Stead to anyone looking for a getaway which could be as quiet and relaxing or as adventurous as you make it. Our family enjoyed some of each and can’t wait to come back! It truly is a beautiful island with welcoming residents. And be sure to snorkel while you’re there. Our family enjoyed hours of snorkeling right at North Pointe or early in the morning at Rum Point just up the road a little over two miles before the crowds arrive. Several good restaurants within a 30 minute drive from the far north side too. We definitely didn’t go hungry. My suggestion would be to stock up on the majority of your grocery needs while in or near Georgetown but Chisholm’s grocery store just a couple of miles before you get to North Pointe has a surprisingly good selection of necessities. And don’t miss the small local shops scattered throughout the island. Sometimes the best treasures are found unexpectedly! Thank you once again for the opportunity to thoroughly enjoy Grand Cayman. Until next time...💜☀️🐚🐠🍽🍷🍹😻👍🏼👍🏼🕶👙🦎🐙🦐🦑🐡🦀🐓

We enjoyed our stay at Cayman Stead. It provided a good home base for our island adventures. When the coffee pot stopped working and then when we had some issues with getting hot water to both bathrooms the issues were addressed quickly and completely. Having a pool and an ocean view was so great for days we did not feel like tackling the long drives to other parts of the Island.

While the condo could use some updating of furniture and decor that are a little weathered by the Caribbean climate it was a comfortable and enjoyable place to stay. The only cons have nothing to do with Cayman Stead. If you don’t like driving it can seem very far from the action of the other side of the island where it can be less windy and the beaches more sandy and the snorkeling a little easier.

But, if you like a quiet spot where there is always a breeze, this is your place.

We enjoyed 10 days of a very relaxing family vacation in Jackie's condo. It was big enough for our group of 6 (grandparents, parents and kids), well equipped with all you can need for your stay and mostly, conveniently located on the north side of island, which seemed to me really Carribean. The nearby beach which is just steps from the condo might be a bit rough at times, but the close Rum Point offers great access to blue water, coral reef, sports and good food. About 5 minutes ride from the place is a small convenience store which is opened also on Sundays, again, very useful if you arrive during the weekend. If you want to buy fresh fish, I recommend to buy from the local fishermen opposite Over the Edge restaurant - cheap and tasty. I recommend this place to anyone seeking a true Cayman holiday and thanks again Jackie for all your kind advices. Best from Europe- Lukas & family

What a beautiful time we had with friends and our two daughters. The location of this condo was great for North Shore and East End Activties. A little far to drive and fight traffic in Georgetown. The size was perfect for us. Not to impressed with the beach. It had a lot of sea grass and loaded with garbage. Never did get in the ocean at the condo, But we did enjoy the pool. Cayman in Beautiful but very expensive for just about everything. All said we had a wonderful time.

Let me first say that this rental is not near 7 Mile Beach but we personally didn't want to be on a busy beach. After long days of hitting tourist spots and the cruiser destinations, it's nice to come back to peace and quiet as well as an outstanding view. The fact that it has a pool is truly icing on the cake and yes, that view is what you see from the pool. The beach is walk-able, can certainly be swim-able, but it's not the sandy beach designed for wading out and looking at your toes. Again, there's places literally 2 minutes up the road at Rum Point to do that so it never crossed our minds.

7 mile takes about 40 minutes to get to but it's not difficult. There's a grocery store close to get necessities but the bigger ones are more towards town. Great restaurants near and you must go to Kurt's Korner. Cheap awesome local food, probably went there 3 times as well as the taco food truck. Can't miss it on your drive. Not really any negatives but it is about time for a furniture update. Such is life on the beach that causes wear on the couches and seats. Front door lock can be quite tricky as well, but overall outstanding place with a great owner to work with during the process. Would certainly go back!!

PS- Mosquitos are literally waiting for you when the sun sets, this s no joke. We travel to islands a lot and most of the time these are empty threats. It's the real deal here! Bring spray!!!
