CoCoCOndo - Your 3br Home Away from Home in the Caribbean

Clean, safe, well-located, welcoming! We recommend this place 100%

My family wanted to go on a dive/snorkeling vacation before my son graduated high school. We chose Grand Cayman for diving opportunities. The condo was in the best part of the island and the diving is great right from the property. The condo was clean with tons of room for a family with two teenagers. The pool right outside the door was a plus! Seven Mile beach was a short drive, good restaurants near by. We rented dive equipment on site and my son and husband went out daily. The owners were always helpful. We will definitely be back.

In March we returned to CoCo Condo in West Bay, Grand Cayman. This condo is truly a “Home away from Home”. CoCo Condo is a 3-story townhouse style residence with over 2200 sq. ft. of space (so much more than a regular hotel room.) Two of the three large bedrooms, have ensuite washrooms, while the third bedroom is adjacent to the third 4 piece washroom. The main floor kitchen, complete with dishwasher, range, refrigerator, microwave, dishes and cookware, is open to the dining room for 6 and living room area. The large U- shaped sofa provided seating and lounging opportunities for everyone in our party. The half washroom on the main floor was convenient since it was close to the main living areas and just steps from the outdoor pool. The outdoor patio offers a dining area for 6 and a BBQ. We were there with 3 adult couples, and not once did we feel cramped for space!

The condo itself does not offer a full view of the ocean, but the condo complex includes a man-made beach and ocean frontage, complete with chairs, tables and loungers. The beach and waterfront are just a short walk from the condo front door. Often we would take our morning coffee to the waterfront to watch off-shore divers and our evening cocktails to watch amazing sunsets.

The condo owners are SCUBA divers and have made this an ideal place for divers to stay. They have an outdoor drying area for diving gear and lists of local dive companies for visitors who may want to do boat dives or rent equipment. Shore dives are doable just off the condo shores; very convenient! Since we are not divers, we took advantage of the other amenities provided by the owners. We used their floaties in the pool, their beach chairs and coolers on trips to Seven Mile Beach (5 - 7 minute drive) and their comprehensive list of restaurants and things to do on the island. We even used the on-site washer and dryer to get a head-start on our laundry before returning home.

We recommend this spacious “home away from home” to anyone wanting a spacious retreat in West Bay. While we were there with 6 adults, we talked about how the unit would work for one or two couples with small children. They even provide a “Pack and Go” playpen that could double as a bed for a toddler. The owners have thought of everything!

We will be back!!!!

Loved the place, it was clean, fresh and up to date. There were a couple very minor details that you're going to find in any condo, but other than that, it's fantastic.

The layout is spacious and comfortable. The kitchen has just enough stuff in in that you can easily have breakfast and lunch there after a stop at the grocery store if you're so inclined. The internet is fast as it's on the islands fiber loop, the TVs seem to work good with a decent selection of channels. (We were there during the winter olympics so would occasionally catch some snippets of that during breakfast, etc). The nest temperature control worked well and the owners of the condo are right, the temperature at which the bottom end is locked is plenty cold for the island. We actually found the main floor too cold with the AC at 75, so we ran it at 77 more often. The main seating area is cozy and a great place to hang out with friends for a couple drinks. The community pool shared with 9 other condos is the place where we spent most of our nights hanging out and is sheltered from the wind.

If you're a diver though, Duncan with Stingray Watersports is what makes this location an absolute dream. Stingray is located on site (no storefront, but you don't need it). He is the ultimate dive concierge. We did four boat trips while we were there, knowledgeable guides, and he made it work to our schedule instead of his. Pricing was great too. Most of our trips were "private" even though we didn't book them that way because we were with a group and would have one of the smaller boats to ourselves. He delivered our equipment to the patio, and is personal to work with. The shore diving is convenient, although we only went out once because the wind and waves were rough quite a bit of the time there. Macabuca down the street has a wonderful shore dive opportunity too, just bring your BCD/gear down and rent their air tanks.

The only couple of nit picky things are the dishwasher latch is very difficult to work because the shell looks warped and the mounting isn't very good. And the main door handle for some reason only worked going up, although I think that happened while we were there.

Will definitely try to book here again when we return to the Cayman Islands.

Nice size, ok place. Didn’t like the location. First time in cayman and stayed here based on great reviews but was disappointed by it. Thought we would be able to walk to beach or swim from ladder here, but couldn’t do either. Wish we would’ve stayed at 7mile beach.
