A great stay!

The Cottages is a very clean and well run location! We were provided with everything we needed for our time here. The light and simple breakfast at our room was an unexpected bonus. We did have some issues with the local cable service but those were easily fixed and not the fault of the hosts. Everything about this property is clean and updated. The location is away from the more touristy areas of the island but there is everything you need within a reasonable drive. The staff are beyond friendly and helpful! If we return to Cayman we will try to stay here again.

Cayman Getaway

the Cottgages is the best place to get away from the touristy hustle. Great location, isolated but close to everything you need. The staff is just the best. Lynn and her team were fabulous! Great restaurants within a couple of miles. Perfect place to relax and enjoy the beach. We will be back!!!

Just what we needed!

This B & B is perfect! Beautiful property that is quiet and secluded. Beach is amazing and perfect for a walk. After watching the sunrise and a walk, I would return to breakfast on the patio. Small shopping area just a 10 min walk. Nice touch to provide use of bikes, kayak, paddle board and a cooler for our boat tour. Definitely recommend a car rental as taxis are very expensive. Owner and staff are WONDERFUL! We will be back!

Like a private resort

Check in was smooth. Glen greeted us immediately and was attentive to all of our needs. They even brought us a towel cake and sang to my wife for her birthday. It is very quiet and relaxing. With the best sunrise view ever!!! The breakfast was always on time and as requested. The area restaurants were all fresh and food was excellent.

Excellent Stay

Let me say if you're looking for the best place to stay on Grand Cayman, this is it. For starters, the staff is phenomenal! Glen and Vanessa were a true treat. They were friendly, attentive, and helpful without being intrusive. They provide an above and beyond level of hospitality that you wish was everywhere. I cannot say enough about how great they were. The location is right on the water with beautiful views from every room. There are only 10 units so you get that homey feeling and don't feel crowded. The view from the infinity pool is fantastic! The grounds are well maintained and clean, with the units being comfortably furnished. The accommodations provide kayaks, paddle boards, bicycles, coolers, beach toys, even snorkeling gear. Breakfast is provided each morning (make sure to try the house made banana bread) which on Grand Cayman is a huge savings. I loved the East End location because it is peaceful, relaxing, but close to the attractions of Rum Point and Starfish Point. We will definitely stay at the Cottages any time we go to Grand Cayman.

Incredible beach location and comfortable, quiet lodging

We had such an amazing stay at the Cottages over Christmas and New Years. Even before our arrival, communication from the owner of the property was excellent. She sent lots of recommendations, many of which we were glad for. The units include a small kitchen, fridge/freezer, microwave and stove and were also stocked with coffee, tea, sugar and some welcome snacks. Upon recommendation we pre-ordered grocery delivery from Hurleys, and it was already in the unit when we arrived. A major highlight was the fantastic service. Glen and Vanessa, woke us every day with smiles and freshly cooked breakfast. Throughout our stay, they were both beyond helpful with anything we needed and were always a positive presence on the property. The pool, beach, and sea were a great combination and we spent most of our days relaxing here on the sun beds and taking quiet walks along the beach. One of the best parts was how quiet the property is, away from the busier west side, this felt more like our own private island. Next door and a 5 minute walk down the street or beach was a larger resort, grocery store, coffee shop so anything else we needed was close by. We rented a car, and that was helpful for getting around to some of the local food places and day trips to the west side, which were only an hour drive max. Highly recommend and we will be back!
