We completely enjoyed our stay at Emerald Sea House. It's a lovely, peaceful place in a beautiful, quiet setting, and was perfect for the two of us. This is a 2 bedroom, 2 bath waterfront house, approximately 1,000-1,200 square feet inside, with deck around the whole house. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you need for cooking meals. It was wonderful to sit outside by the water and enjoy our meals. The owner, Rick, was very helpful with multiple questions leading up to our stay, and also fixed an issue for us with the way VRBO processed the reservation and billing. From the house, it's about a 7 minute drive to Rum Point. We really recommend the bioluminescent bay tour out of Rum Point after dark. It's also about a 15 minute drive to the Botanical Gardens with the Blue Iguana tour, which were beautiful and fascinating, and we also recommend.
If this is your first time on Grand Cayman, it's about a 40-50 minute drive from the house to Seven Mile Beach, and possibly longer if you hit commute or airport traffic (except on Sundays, when many businesses are closed). We loved Seven Mile Beach, even with all the hotels, cruise ships, and the strip, and found public parking easiest at Governor's Beach and Cemetery Beach, toward the northern end. Seven Mile Beach is the sandy, calm beach; the rest of the shoreline of the island, including at the house, seems to be rocky iron shore and grassy with rougher water and water shoes to protect your feet would be a smart idea. It's also about a 30-35 minute drive to the nearest supermarket, the IGA Fosters in Savannah at Crossroads. The owner has thoughtfully provided ice packs and coolers for the ride back to the house after you shop.
