VRBO rentals are excellent way to get amazing value, even to luxury properties. This one was just breathtaking, immaculate and quiet. The full kitchen is stocked to the gills: short glasses, tall glasses, elegant tall glasses, red wine glasses, white wine glasses, plastic glasses (if you want to take it to the pool), thermal glasses (if you want it to last at the beach)... and that is just with glasses, same goes for plates, utensils, tupperware, pots, mugs... everything you can think of and then some. Same goes for towels - plenty for everybody, of all sizes, even 14 (yes, fourteen) beach towels. Beach toys are provided, there are even two pairs of flippers and a snorkel mask. Screened in lanai was amazing, perfect for light dinner or snack, or just hanging out while kids are splashing in the pool in front. Huge flat screen TVs in each room, very quick internet, very efficient a/c. Shampoo, conditioner, body wash, dishwasher detergent, clothes detergent, paper towels, kitchen towels, sponges, even cling wrap - all provided. Nice touches like special tiles in bathroom, matching bedding, books, three layers of window dressings, fancy dining room light... simply speechless.
The main point I have to make is utter feeling of luxury that we were experiencing while in the apartment. The whole complex is nicely maintained, the apartment is freshly furnished, kept clean, and there are very few people around, adding to the feeling of exclusivity. My kids have had the big pool for themselves 6 out of 7 days, and me and my husband enjoyed smoothies alone while watching sunset from pool patio. Looking at next-door Marriott and how crowded their beach is, I can not understand why would anybody pay for that in Cayman. We enjoyed the sunsets alone on the beach, we strolled between greenery on the property, we relished the view from lanai, through greenery over to the ocean. I get misty now, just thinking about it.
Position of the property is good, there are plenty of quick-bite spots across the street, and grocery shop is 7 minutes away (on foot). Big market (Kirk) is much further away, so you have to plan for bus (in front of property) or taxi. The property owner offers coordination with Kirk market, so you can specify list of groceries delivered to apartment before entering. Very worth it if you don't have a car. Bear in mind that everything (even groceries) is quite expensive on Cayman.
Warmly recommended, you will not be disappointed.
