This house is accurately described & shown in the VRBO photos, except for one thing: There is no way to describe the peace that comes over us when we are at Gardens of the Kai. The immaculate house sits 20 steps from the calm cove. Palm trees provide shade, the breeze blows gently, & it is heaven on earth! There are 16 homes on this cove & beach, & even though we didn't see the inside of the others, we feel that we got the best, for location & the way the house is set up. While we were on the island, we looked at other places we had considered & we would choose this home & Gardens of the Kai over any of them hands down. The owner was prompt & very helpful as we were preparing for our trip. The resort management staff was also prompt when we called them while on the island (a couple of issues that turned out to be us not understanding how things work--no problems w/the house). While on the beach, we saw hermit crabs, & early in the morning larger orange crabs. We walked a few steps into the water to see beautiful large, red starfish. You can snorkel right there & see them further out as well. The house is tastefully but casually decorated in Cayman/Island theme, & every chair & bed was very comfortable! The house was also very convenient to Kaibo Beach Club, where we had excellent lunch, & one evening, an elegant dinner upstairs. We also left from Kaibo for a private Stingray Sandbar & Snorkeling charter w/Ocean Frontiers (cheaper than some w/lots of people & no personal service), as well as a Bioluminescent Bay Tour with Sweet Spot (the next cove over from ours). It's a 2-minute drive to Rum Point for many more activities. Our favs: Cemetery Beach just west of 7-mile beach for snorkeling (while the guys were diving the wreck of the Kittiwake), Kaibo Beach Bar & Grill, Rankins Jerk Chicken on the west end of Boddentown, & Vivene's Kitchen on the East End.
We don't usually return to the same place as we love to explore new areas, but now we have a dream to return with our grown children! If I could give this home 10 stars, I would!
