BEACH & WATER ACCESS

Blue Vista Villa sits directly on the shoreline in Old Man Bay, with wide ocean views and a private saltwater pool overlooking the Caribbean Sea. The immediate beachfront in this area is a natural North Side shoreline, with a mix of sand and coral underfoot, making it great for relaxing by the water, beachcombing, and enjoying the view.

Just a short walk down the beach, you’ll find a shallow sandy cove near the On The Bay condos that is ideal for wading and swimming on calmer days. Excellent coral reef snorkeling is also available roughly 100 yards along the shore, where the reef protects the water and offers plenty of marine life for confident swimmers and snorkelers. For comfort and safety, water shoes or fins are recommended anywhere you enter over rock or coral, and guests should always check daily sea conditions before heading into the sea.

Guests who prefer classic, soft sand beach time can also explore North Side and East End public beach areas, as well as Rum Point and Kaibo, all a short drive away and offering easier walk in swimming and beach club style amenities.

LOCATION & ACCESSIBILITY

Blue Vista Villa is located in Old Man Bay on Grand Cayman’s quiet North Side, about a 30–40 minute drive from Owen Roberts International Airport in George Town under typical traffic conditions. The home sits between the Rum Point/Kaibo area and East End, putting you in a convenient spot for exploring both the laid back North Side and the dive friendly East End coastline.

Old Man Bay Beach is just steps from the villa, while a shallow cove suitable for wading and swimming lies a short walk away down the shoreline. Popular nearby spots such as the Mastic Trail, Barefoot Beach, Queen Elizabeth II Botanical Garden, and the East End resort area are all within an easy drive. A rental car is strongly recommended here, as public transportation is limited and driving is the easiest way to reach supermarkets, restaurants, Rum Point, Kaibo, and Seven Mile Beach

DINING & NEARBY ACTIVITIES

• Over the Edge Café – About a 5–10 minute drive east along North Side Road for casual local dining with classic waterfront views.

• Rum Point Club & Restaurant – Usually 15–20 minutes away for oceanfront dining, beach bar favorites, hammocks, and a relaxed beach club vibe.

• Red Sail Sports at Rum Point – Also around 15–20 minutes by car for Stingray City trips, snorkeling, diving, paddleboarding, and kayak rentals.

• Kaibo Beach Bar & Grill – Roughly 15–20 minutes’ drive for casual beachfront lunches, wood fired pizzas, and sunset cocktails.

• Upstairs at Kaibo – Upscale fine dining above Kaibo Beach Bar, also about 15–20 minutes away.

• Kaibo coffee spot – In the same Kaibo complex, typically 15–20 minutes away, great for coffee, pastries, and easy breakfast starts.

• La Casita (East End) – Around a 20–25 minute drive toward East End for Mexican fare in a relaxed setting.

• Tukka East & Eagle Ray’s – Approximately 20–25 minutes away for East End seafood, lionfish dishes, and island style menus overlooking the reef.

• Morritt’s / East End resort area – Also about 20–25 minutes by car, with additional restaurants, beach bars, and oceanfront dining options.

NEARBY ATTRACTIONS & HIGHLIGHTS

• Starfish Point – Typically 15–20 minutes by car via the Kaibo/Rum Point area, popular for shallow water and starfish viewing.

• Stingray City sandbar – Reached by boat tours departing from Kaibo or Rum Point.

• Cayman Crystal Caves – About a 10–15 minute drive inland from the North Side/Old Man Bay area.

• Queen Elizabeth II Botanical Garden – Generally 15–20 minutes away via Frank Sound Road, with nature trails, iguanas, and tropical gardens.

GROCERIES, SUNDAY CLOSURES & PRACTICAL DETAILS

Nearby grocery options such as Foster’s Express and Chisholm's Grocery are about 15 to 20 minutes away by car. Larger supermarkets are also convenient stops on the drive from the airport.

Supermarkets are closed on Sundays in Cayman, though most restaurants and gas stations remain open, and some gas stations sell liquor on Sundays. Grocery items can also be pre-ordered and delivered before arrival.

Chisholm’s Market is on the Northside, and is open 7 days a week, and is well stocked with food, supplies, beer, wine & liquor. 15 minutes from the condo.

TRANSPORTATION

• A rental car is highly recommended for this area so guests can easily explore Grand Cayman at their own pace.

• Many guests book directly with trusted local providers such as Marshall’s Rent-A-Car, Andy's Rent-A-Car, or compare options through Kayak.

• Public transportation is a short walk away, having a car offers the greatest convenience and flexibility.

Fabulous!

The location is great! We enjoy being away from the hustle and bustle and this was perfect. There are lots of good restaurants nearby, so you can still have fabulous meals out. Waking up and looking out at a beautiful ocean is truly wonderful. We enjoyed snorkeling right off the beach using the lagoon to the left or on non rough days by walking straight out in water shoes. The condos to the left were under construction when we were there, so there were very few guests. But, even if they had been full, I don't think it would have disturbed us too much just because of the way it is layed out. Everything was just wonderful!!

Perfect quiet vacation location

This location was beyond perfect for our week getaway in a quiet area of the Cayman Islands. There was plenty of space for four adults and 2 toddlers and could have easily accommodated 4-6 more adults. It was a quick drive to Rum Point & in close proximity to a hidden treasure Cayman Crystal Caves. We also didn’t mind the drive to the west side to visit more touristy locations such as seven mile beach. The owners & local management of this house were extremely nice, communicative & a wealth of knowledge both before and during our stay. The ocean provided an area with crystal clear water and great snorkeling. In addition, the house had paddle boards and canoes. My kids loved the books provided, the massive set of checkers and of course the pool. My husband and I enjoyed the newly added arcade games. There is definitely lots to do in the house should the weather be less than ideal, while children are napping, or before bed. The mosquitoes at night are terrible, but there’s nothing the owners can do about them. We saw government vehicles spraying multiple times during our stay. The ONLY reason I’m mentioning it in the review is to let anyone know visiting the Cayman Islands you definitely want to add bug spray to your shopping list. In short - we definitely are keeping the information for this Vrbo and planning to stay here should we ever have the opportunity to return to the Cayman Islands!

We absolutely loved Blue Vista! The house was fully appointed, had everything you could need, just bring food and swim suits. We were traveling with a 20 month old and they were kind enough to provide a pack and play for him to play and sleep. We spent every minute of the day for our entire stay enjoying the beautiful backyard. It doesn’t get much better than floating in the pool and having a view of the ocean. We got to see the most amazing sunsets under the gazebo right on the beach. It really doesn’t get better than this. Also, the property manager was fantastic. He even met us at the grocery story to help us find our way to the property when we were lost. The management company recommended an amazing photographer Irene Corti, and she came out to the house took fabulous family pictures around the property and beach. Thank you for making our stay so special and for sharing your home with us! We hope to come back soon!!

Enjoyable but not quite as expected.

The booking process was easy. The owner/ property manager were kind enough to let us drop groceries off prior to check in. Minor hiccups with cable out, resolved after two visits by property manager and cable company. Fully stocked. The home is as described and the views, beauty and charm of the island can’t be beat. We were a bit disappointed in the hustle and bustle on the property. There is an owners suite in property that we weren’t expecting and lots of traffic there, it appeared as through they were preparing for the owners arrival. Unexpected pool, maintenance and property manager on site daily definitely took away from the private oasis we were hoping for. While I understand the need for maintenance, it would have been. Ice to know this was a possibility and we would have reconsidered. There was a dog that lurked on the property daily- seemed kind but it was unexpected. We spent a week in another home the week prior and were notified of when the pool cleaners or anyone stopped by rather than realize there is someone outside the window as you are changing. ThIs property needs a bit of TLC and minor updates (drains are slow, pillows were stained, just get a bit used). The other property we stayed at was cleaner, brighter, less cluttered and cheaper than this home. I think if we hadn’t had such a stellar experience at the week prior we would not have had such high expectations. Overall, we enjoyed our stay on this amazing island. While the property didn’t quite meet expectations, the property manager was kind and responsive as needed.

Thank you for your comments. There should not be people on the property on a daily basis. So sorry, I will make certain that does not happen again. If there were any issue, they hopefully were cared for quickly.

Disappointed: older home, not clean, difficult layout

Sadly, our stay at this vacation home was overshadowed by several issues, which we hope the owners will address to improve the experience for future guests. One main concern was the poorly supplied kitchen, which made meal preparation difficult. For example, there was a lack of measuring cups, no tea kettle, and minimal kitchen tools, such as a peeler. Despite frequent cleaning, ants persisted on the countertops and inside the microwave. Furthermore, the cleanliness was subpar, evidenced by dirty plates, bowls, and a coffee maker that still contained grinds from the previous guest upon our arrival. The house layout also proved inconvenient. With the master bedroom's en-suite bathroom, three bedrooms shared a single bathroom. The washer and dryer were only accessible through one bedroom, turning laundry into an uncomfortable chore. Additionally, the ominous messages posted on the washing machine regarding towel overloads were off-putting. While the property's proximity to the beach initially seemed attractive, most of the beach was off-limits due to private property markings, making it hard to find a suitable spot to relax. We were also disheartened by the absence of advertised pool toys. Despite confirming the availability of pool noodles beforehand, none were provided, leaving our children disappointed. During our stay, we encountered several maintenance issues, including a malfunctioning air conditioner in the master bedroom and a toilet with flushing difficulties. The former required a service call to the property manager. The property manager's unannounced visits were unsettling, such as when he appeared at our screened-in porch during our dinner without knocking or ringing the doorbell. His irregular presence around the property without warning added to our discomfort. On a brighter note, the home provided ample parking and an open-concept layout, which fostered quality time together. Nevertheless, the overall experience was underwhelming. We hope the owners will consider these concerns and make the necessary improvements for future guests.

Response from VrboOwner on 19 Apr, 2023
As a VRBO Premier Partner host with over 100 properties on Grand Cayman and a 4.9 star average, we are very disappointed to see this review as it contains inaccurate information and omits a few key points. We inform all of our guests that if there are any items they need or if there are any maintenance needs, to simply contact our on-island property manager and he will promptly provide it. In our welcome email we proactively encourage our guests to contact us with any needs, instead of waiting and posting on a review where we have no opportunity to assist during their stay. Our property manager never received any requests for any of the kitchen or other items mentioned. Upon the guests departure, the property manager found an assortment of kitchen items in the yard where their children took them out of the house, apparently to play with them. The pool toys and noodles are in the closet. The owner just converted the garage to a 4th bedroom, with plans to install the 3rd shower in the master bedroom this summer 2023. We will update the listing as a 4 bedroom 3 bath when the 3rd bath is installed. The guests knew when they booked that the villa had 2 baths. The washer/dryer area has two access entries. No service requests were made regarding the AC unit, which has been tested and in proper order. Upon the guests departure, the property manager found one of the toilets stuffed with baby wipes, which are not designed to be flushed. The toilet had to be removed, baby wipes extracted and the toiled resealed and reinstalled. We charged the guest for the labor and materials to resolve the damage as per the rental agreement, which I’m sure influenced their review. The owner takes a lot of pride in Blue Vista Villa, maintains it very well and has it fully cleaned prior to each new guest visit, as per the Cayman Islands Department of Tourism guidelines. The other reviews you see on this VRBO listing more accurately reflect how much people have enjoyed staying at Blue Vista over the past several years.

Fantastic Family Vacation

I have family of four with two teenage girls. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Old Man Bay. The house was beautiful with all amenities needed and plenty of comfortable space to spread out. The views were amazing from the deck, the private beach was incredible and the pool was perfect to cool off. We explored the island and had a blast - definitely rent a car. The Crystal Caves are only 3 min away from house and this was a great excursion. Definitely go see the Stingrays as this is a amazing experience. Only thing to keep in mind is food is very expensive in Grand Cayman, need to shop at larger grocery stores on island to get better prices and more variety. There are plenty of restaurants on both sides of the island. Overall a fantastic Vacation.

This was the perfect place to stay. The house was great...everything we could have asked for. Very clean and well organized. Private pool was great. Far enough away from the hustle and bustle. Would most definitely stay there again

Clean and Gorgeous

The photos are accurate beautiful and for our trip in early Feb. windy. Not a bad thing just good to know. The property manager Dainsley is attentive but not intrusive, if you want to snorkel remember to use the tide pool next door left side cut the right side is rocky. We enjoyed eating on the porch sitting by the pool and even though there is a condo complex next door we only saw a few people all week. We got food to go from The Caboose many days reasonably priced and good food just around the corner. It is a short trip to Rum Point for the Stingray sandbar trip or to Morrit's for scuba diviing but if you want seclusion stay here.
