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

My family had a great week at Cayman Stead! The condo has everything we needed and is very nice. We had three adults and four kids stay there very comfortably. Having two king beds in the bedrooms was great. They were very comfortable also. The pool was nice and was perfect to come back to after a day of exploring the island. The kitchen had everything you need to prepare meals and was also stocked with basics like seasonings and coffee filters. We would recommend hitting the Foster’s Grocery Store in Savannah instead of the one right by the airport. Fosters at the airport was very crowded. Jackie’s information and recommendations are great. We went to Starfish Pointe and Rum Point. We did the stingray city/snorkel/sail trip with Red Sail Sports out of Rum Point. That was a great trip perfect for the whole family. We also did a two tank dive with Ocean Frontiers on the East End. They were very professional with very knowledgable dive masters. Our one meal at a restaurant on the island was at Tukka. It was unbelievable! The food and the service was great. One of our best beach adventures was a 20 minute drive to Spott’s Beach on the southern shore. It is a nice beach with some wave action. It is known for the sea turtles that feed on the grass right off the shore. We snorkeled right off the pier and saw the turtles out there. We did take a drive one day to the Turtle Centre and to Seven Mile Beach. We enjoyed each of those places and my kids loved seeing and holding the turtles! However, we really enjoyed staying on the north end at Cayman Stead by Rum Point where it is much quieter and less traffic. Overall we had an amazing week in Grand Cayman and loved staying at Cayman Stead. We will definitely be returning to Grand Cayman and plan to stay at Cayman Stead.

Really enjoyed our stay at Cayman Stead on the North Side of Grand Cayman. The owner provided us with very detailed information regarding the condo as well as getting around the area, favorite restaurants and activities. This was very helpful for us in planning what we wanted to do each day. The condo building is well-maintained and the pool area is very pretty. The space was perfect for our needs and very clean. Beds were comfortable, including the pull out sofa in the living room. Kitchen was fully stocked with plenty of gadgets, pots and pans, etc. There were even some seasonings and spices in the cupboards. It was nice to have many beach towels and a variety of sunscreens (left by previous tenants perhaps) to use if needed. We enjoyed playing cards with the decks of cards provided. There were also a few other games as well as a jigsaw puzzle. Having never been to the Caymans before, I really liked being on the quieter north end. This summer they are having a very bad issue with blooming Sargassum Seaweed and locals reported that this is the worst they have ever seen. This is a seasonal issue and did not deter us from activities. We just found beaches that were not affected by the seaweed (7 Mile, Spotts, Starfish Point ). Almost all beaches on the north side were affected. Condo is very close to Rum Point, where we departed for our catamaran to Stingray City (Red Sail Sports---catamaran sail to Stingray City and snorkel trip--it was great). We ate at Tukka, on the East End for dinner one night...highly recommend. We sat at a table on the beach. Food was outstanding and it is very kid-friendly. It was a short 20 minute drive from the condo.

It was a great trip to Grand Cayman and I would love to return soon. Staying at Cayman Stead was perfect for us!

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
