It’s located at the tip of Rum Point, Cayman Islands, and offers spectacular ocean views and immediate beach access from your 40 foot screened beachfront porch just off the living room and master bedroom!

Our appraisal said it was the best unit at The Retreat due to beaches on both sides, views from all living areas, ground floor unit, literally a few steps from the sand. (Most other units have partial views and are not ground level beach access and are attached or above other condos - this one's location and cleanliness is extra special!)

* Deluxe 2 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom beachfront unit, right on the sand!

* Spacious floor plan, 1767 square feet, and turquoise waters all around. Literally steps from the white sandy beach!

* On the Tip! The only unit that has stunning ocean views from both bedrooms, kitchen, and living areas

* On-site managers for this exclusive, pristine condo. Owners respond almost instantly via email to answer any questions you may have anytime during your stay.

* Wonderfully comfortable, clean, and pristine condo with great A/C, UNMATCHED views and premier ground floor location.

* Rum Point Beach recreation area, just down the sand, offers fun excursions and activities galore. Stingray City, Sunset Cruises, Bio-luminescence Kayak Tour, Snorkeling Excursions, etc.

* Snorkel, swim, kayak or relax on the beach by stepping right outside your door

* Only 23 units total at “The Retreat”. Exquisite, private, location!

* No other renters on the sides of you, below or above! Only behind you!

* Gigantic walk-in closet in the master bedroom and two large closets in the 2nd bedroom. Wow! (Most owners lock these - we keep ours open for you!)

*Condo is well stocked with towels, sheets, kitchen appliances, dishes, utensils, bar wear, and luxuriously clean comforts.

*Fun, funky beach bar is just down the sand which serves burgers, delicious fish, fish sandwiches and amazing cocktails! Try the Sunset Punch or Mudslide!

Rum Point Fall Getaway
We had an absolutely magical stay here in Rum Point, a great location away from the bustle and busyness of the George Town side of the island. We were in the ocean every day, eating fish drinking rum every night. We swam with stingrays, sat among starfish, and ran our hands through the otherworldly bioluminescent waters of the nearby bay. Our time here could not have been more tranquil and refreshing -- we were torn leaving such a high (and accurate) rating for fear that others will learn about this gem of a home.

Amazing Island Condo, Perfect Location - Beware Hurricane Season
We had the pleasure of staying at this incredible island condo in Grand Cayman, and it truly exceeded our expectations. The location is unbeatable, with stunning ocean views and easy access to pristine beaches. The condo itself is beautifully appointed, with modern amenities, comfortable furnishings, and everything you need for a relaxing and enjoyable stay. The accommodations were top-notch, providing all the comforts of home with the added luxury of being in a tropical paradise. The kitchen was fully equipped, allowing us to prepare meals with ease. The living area was spacious and inviting, perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring the island. The bedrooms were cozy and quiet, ensuring a restful night's sleep. However, one important thing to note is to always check the weather during hurricane season before traveling. Unfortunately, we had to evacuate just two days after our arrival due to an approaching hurricane. This led to some challenges in finding a flight off the island, which added stress to our otherwise wonderful vacation. Despite this hiccup, we still highly recommend this condo for its prime location and fantastic accommodations. Just be sure to keep an eye on the weather forecasts if you plan to visit during hurricane season. Overall, it was an amazing experience, and we would love to return under better circumstances!

Amazing Retreat!
We've been to GCM many times but this was our first stay on the North Side. The sunsets are stunning and became the event of the day for us. We walked next door to Rum Point for a cocktail or snack. The restaurant is remodeled and beautiful. The GM Cory was so welcoming and took great care of us. We rented a kayak for the week and spent a ton of time paddling around. The snorkeling was fantastic. There is sea grass in the shallows as you wade out, it isn't the soft sand of SMB but it is quiet and beautiful and the private beach is great. We drove to Starfish and had a fun afternoon. We could have walked but it was too hot. The condo is perfect. Views from everywhere you turn. The little yard out front was perfect for the kayak and some extra privacy. The whole complex is very quiet and peaceful. We found everything we needed in the condo and it was super clean. The layout was fantastic for us a our pre-teen. There were plenty of beach towels, and we just popped them in the dryer at the end of the day. The only drawback we found is the lack of water pressure in the showers but that is an island thing I believe. If you bring a flashlight you can find crabs in the bushes at night. We shopped at Kirk's in town after we landed because we like the food and the variety there. Chisholm's close to the condo came in handy for a few things we needed and beer throughout the week. We will definitely be back and stay at Retreat 23!

Amazing Views
The VIEWS!! This condo is amazing and just as pictured. Literally steps from the beach and Rum Point Club. Very short drive to Kaibo and Star Fish Point which should be on anyone’s todo list. The owner Katrina will send you an email with all the details prior to your stay that give you all you need for a great vacation. We are already planning our return trip. Thanks for everything Katrina.

Beautiful place!
Our week here was fabulous! This place is amazing and beautiful! It had everything we needed. The area is beautiful and this place is perfect. It had plenty of space. Our luggage was lost on the way and I was glad there were beach towels to use and a washer/dryer. The owner was quick to respond with questions. We would definitely stay here again, it was sad to have to leave.

Great stay on the laid back side of the island
We have always stayed at Morritts but decided to stay closer to Rum Point this trip. You can’t get any closer than The Retreat and we are so glad we found this gem. The condo was so clean and decorated so pretty. It had every comfort of home and have zero complaints. There is a restaurant next door, close grocery store and close to starfish point. We only drove to Georgetown one day to let our daughter do some touristy things but relaxed on the North End for the rest of our stay. Red Sail Sports picks you up next door at the Rum Point dock for boat outings which is really nice to not have to drive to meet them. It is a must stay!!!!!

Winter break
We had a fantastic week at Rum Point with our kids ages 10 and 12. The unit was perfect with everything in the kitchen and a good nonstick pan, which is rare in a rental! We loved the location on the point and the convenience of the ground floor unit. We snorkeled right off the beach and were amazed to see turtles, rays, and even a couple of nurse sharks and an eel! The neighbors were friendly and made great conversation, and we were able to fully relax and enjoy the sunsets every night. We’d love to stay here again!

Our family enjoyed a beautiful week at Retreat at Rum Point. The condo has everything you need and we love the peace of this part of the island. Dinners at Kaibo and Upstairs were incredible and frozen drinks from Rum Point or the blender in the kitchen were delicious. We loved being able to snorkel right out the screen door! We will book again!

Great location! Had a fabulous time!
Stayed 10 nights for our Anniversary Celebration. Condo was clean and you couldn't ask for a better location. Pretty much had our own "private beach" but for the occasional "passers by". All the people we met were really nice, had a few cocktails together and got to know them a bit while we were there. Was fun watching the crab races on the lawn every morning from the patio. We had everything we needed from kitchen gadgets, beach towels and linens. The washer and dryer came in handy since we had a 10 night stay. Snorkeling was great just steps away from the condo. Being right near the pier was so convenient for our stingray/snorkel tour on the beautiful sail boat booked right next door at Red Sail Sports! Bio-luminescent Bay Electric Boat tour also just steps away booked through Cayman Kayaks. Starfish Point just a short drive up the road near Kaibo Beach Club. The staff at the restaurants were fabulous. It was so convenient to walk just a few yards to grab a bite to eat on the beach for lunch. We ate at the restaurant several times in the evening. Again, the service was great and the food was really good. The weather was perfect and no bugs in sight. The sun sets were gorgeous. Thanks so much Katrina and Matt for sharing your piece of paradise with us!

Great week
2 couples spent a week at this condo beginning of January. Very easy process from beginning. Plenty of room. Well equipped kitchen. Beach is right out the front door. Over the edge n Kaibo bbq on Tuesday were our favorite places to eat. Rum Point right next door is nice. Their restaurant is very overpriced. Things are not cheap on GC, but we were not impressed with what we got for the price. Rented a car n was very easy to drive around island. Traveled the entire island. Grocery stores on way from airport. We cooked a few dinners and made breakfast every morning but 1. Katrina n Matt are great to work with n we would recommend their place to anyone.

Lovely, relaxing stay
We loved staying here! The property was very spacious and well stocked. We didn't feel it was lacking anything. The location could not have been better. We traveled with our six year old son and had a great time soaking up the sun, snorkeling right off shore, catching a few boat excursions from the nearby dock, and just relaxing on the beach or the porch. The beach was always quiet and chairs were always available. Katrina and Matt were available to answer any questions very quickly. I cannot think of anything that could be improved upon and I hope we get the chance to get back there soon. I have stayed on Seven Mile Beach before and I am now a convert to the Rum Point area. So peaceful and relaxing. Property was exactly as described in the listing, we made a stop at the grocery store on our way in as suggested and stocked up for some meals we knew we wanted to have in. Other than that there were enough restaurant options nearby to keep us satisfied and of course there are more than enough dining options all over the island if you have a car or want to catch a taxi. Overall, a very lovely time. Thank you Katrina and Matt.

Superb Cayman Christmas
My husband and I rented this property with our two adult children for 8 days over Christmas. Everything was wonderful. The condo was very comfortable and the views were amazing. We felt blessed each morning to wake up and see the beach and ocean. We snorkled multiple times a day right out front of our rental and saw an abundance of varied sea life each day. We have traveled the whole island over the course of a couple of visits to Grand Cayman and we can say Rum Point is our favorite part of the island. The owners are great to work with and made the coordination of renting this property seamless. Thank you !

Paradise
We couldn't be more happier! This property was perfect for our girl's trip. The condo and grounds were very clean and the staff very friendly. Katrina sent all the instructions and tips.... which were extremely helpful. We arrived after office hours but had clear instructions on how to enter. The location is far from the hustle and bustle.... which was perfect for what we were wanting. Starfish Point was a mile away. We didn't need to book any trip. Just take your snorkle gear and hop in! Red sail is right next door to go swim with the stingrays.....awesome excursion! This is the perfect property for relaxing. Everything you need is there. Plenty of kitchen utensils, towels, closet space, games, floats, beach towels, and outside shower to rinse off. We enjoyed the conversation cards at the dinner table each night😁 I am definitely going back to this property and slice of heaven. We all teared up when we had to leave. Thank you Katrina and Matt for opening your slice of paradise for us to enjoy!

About the host

Hosted by Katrina and Matt - owners

Host profile image
Based in the Houston Texas area, Matt and Katrina purchased this unit after they stayed here on an anniversary trip and fell in love with this unit! They had the vacation of a lifetime and hope you will too! We are VERY responsive owners so if you have a question while on the island, send us a quick email! We will answer almost immediately!

Why they chose this property

One of the only units with views from almost every room and no renter above or below, only behind us! At the tip of two beaches! Rum Point is off the beaten path and offers breathtaking turquoise waters all around. This unit's location is exquisite and beach views on two sides. Just open the door and you're at the beach! Our guests come back year after year and book early because we fill up! The best location in Grand Cayman. NO CRUISE SHIP VIEWS EVER IN RUM POINT! It's quiet, remote and dreamy! Not your touristy destination!

What makes this property unique

* Snorkel in your own private beach by stepping out your door. Amazing!

* Unit 23 has a smooth white sandy beach in front for swimming or snorkeling and a rocky beach on the side that's perfect for beachcombing or exploring.

*The Retreat has its own beach and is ideally situated next to Rum Point public Beach where you can rent jet skis, kayaks, boats, or book excursions. They also have hammocks, food, and amazing cocktails!

*Unit 23 has panoramic views from master bedroom, and full beach views from all living areas.

Most vacation condos are massive buildings with hundreds or thousands of guests, but the Retreat #23 sits right on the sand and our guests step right out to the water. It's very special!

'Unit 23 is arguably the best location at The Retreat due to its panoramic views and location on the sand' according to our real estate appraisal.
