Owner info
Year Purchased: 1982
About the owner: * Not the newest, largest, most opulent nor most expensive complex, we chose this property for its unexcelled location, innate charm and understated beauty, remarkable convenience, accessibility, superb design, beautiful gardens and easiest access to the beach. *VILLAS OF THE GALLEON (VoG) to this day remain the best value for money on Seven Mile Beach compared with any of the 51 other condo properties along stunning SMB. *Having been completely renovated after Hurricane Ivan, we have the highest approval and return visit ratings of any Seven Mile Beach property! *We offer our guests the comfort of our friendly setting, convenience of our superior location, and our personal attention to your every holiday wish. *Working diligently to keep our costs under control, we pass savings on to our guests. *We respect our guests' privacy whilst being available to provide information and services as needed. *Having been a part of Caymanian community for so long, we have a wealth of knowledge as to where to go, what to do, and just how to maximize your Cayman experience. *We love and appreciate this Island culture; most of our friends are Caymanian. *Husband Bob-a former officer of Rotary International-is proudly active in local Rotary service projects on Island. We offer a special discount to ALL service club members (Uncle Warren was a Lions' Governor: same relationship!). Bob's brother also is a Rotary PDG. *Wife Ann Marie is a former Head Start programme supervisor and Early Childhood college instructor. An experienced property manager, she can be counted on for extensive knowledge of all products, crafts, services and the best buys here in Cayman. *If you want to economize and not rent a car, we provide helpful hints as to how to best explore the island and take full advantage of the public transit system. Public mini-buses (US$2.50 p/person) run every few minutes up and down West Bay Road from Turtle Farm & Hell to George Town, and are convenient and fun. *
Why the Owner Chose George Town, Cayman Islands:
*Viewing the sea from our master suite superking bed - and the living room!
*Or just sit on our third floor balcony listening to the soothing sound of the sea lapping at the shore
*Breakfast on the patio, then walking right onto the beach across the lawn
*The shade of our lovely casuarina pines
*Enjoying the antics of the ching-chings
*Our very own rare banana orchid
*Vibrant Gardens
*Our true retreat from the cares of the world in a stress-free environment
*For our daughters - a safe, world-class holiday location
*Amenities & facilities are endless and oh-so-conveniently located near us!
*Villas of the Galleon is on the finest part of the Beach, centrally located to just about any service or attraction you might desire whilst on holiday within easy walking distance
*We are super fortunate in our choice of location
*The center of the beach never diminishes: sand torn from the north end of the beach by Nor'wester storms is deposited on the south end, and vice versa... in either case, we generally gain sand from both storm directions
*Snorkeling begins right off our shore
*Only 350 yards up the beach in front of Governor’s House is Governor’s Reef - easily accessible to entire families, regardless of age
*And Beachcomber Reef is 400 yards to the South
*Other terrific snorkeling locations are just two miles up AND down the beach at Cemetery & Pageant Reefs
*Up at Northwest Point we have the fascinating Turtle Farm complex which features gigantic tortoises, breeding facilities, and turtles of all ages+Visit the collection of Caymanian birds in the aviary
*Fascinating Caymanian friends
Is that enough?
FOR A REALLY UNFORGETTABLE EXPERIENCE? - even to engaging a luxurious Rolls-Royce from one friend, retired owner of one of the Island's most notable restaurants. As one of the Island's truly unique personalities he is a joy to know - can you imagine a more valuable honeymoon gift than HoneyMoon Haven or TurtleFish Haven as a special anniversary or birthday pleasure?
