All beaches in Grand Cayman are technically “public” since The Crown owns up to the high water mark and the shoreline space may vary seasonally. Be advised that the beach or water entry behind your property may vary slightly from the images on our website because of the weather. The next-door beach is also always available for your use. We own both properties.

About the host

Hosted by Vivek Sarin

Host profile image
Hi,

My family has been making sweet memories at Rum Point in Grand Cayman for over 45 years. Our permanent home is in Kentucky, USA. My sister, Anita Miller, and I own and operate So Serene and Moon Glow next door.

When our parents first visited Cayman, they were brought to Rum Point by boat and there was no internet, technology, A/C or modern conveniences. Our fondest memories are of discovering the sea, game nights, reading books, and making new friends. We have seen lots of developments on the island, persevered though hurricanes, rebuilt, and always strived to be a thoughtful neighbor and help others who live full-time on the island.

Cayman really is a special place, especially the Cayman Kai/Rum Point area. We are delighted that you are considering a stay with us or have already made a reservation. If there is anything at all that we can do to help make your visit not only special, but also most memorable, then please connect with us. We hope that the memories that you make while staying at So Serene are some of your best ones ever and that they make you smile for a lifetime.

Thank you,

Vivek Sarin

Why they chose this property

Why So Serene for us?

When our family first discovered Cayman in the 1970's, our first vacation villa in Cayman was a 2 bedroom timeshare unit at the old Cayman Kai Resort. A number of years later, our parents purchased the current property and in 1991 designed and built So Serene. In 2000, we purchased the villa next door, Moon Glow.

This particular stretch of beach on the oceanside has always been special. While the sands shift, heading towards Rum Point to the west, there is a nice, clear area to walk free of coral and iron shore line. Also, the swim to the reef is easy to make and the marine life is incredible. All of the waters in front are apart of a protected marine park; so, it is like you are swimming in your own tropical aquarium. Do not be surprised to see sting rays, lobster, schools of fish, octopus, and crabs.

So Serene is the closest, rented oceanside villa to Rum Point. Along the road, it only takes 5 mins. to reach one of the most enjoyable areas on the island with lots to do.

When enjoying a stay at So Serene, you can pick a spot on the west side of the sundeck. From here, at just the right time, you can watch the moon rise over the sea and the sun set behind you. It is truly amazing. And, every clear morning, no matter where you sit, the sun rising over the sea looking eastward is so beautiful and a great way to begin each day.
