It is a simple quaint little older beach house. We never met Rob or the house manager, but we were so prepared by the email information, that it felt like it was home to our group of 8, consisting of adult children and friends, from the get go. We had a wonderful time, lots of laughs, and great memories.
The courtyard was truly delightful for sure. Sipping coffee and tea in the morning while looking at the sea and unwinding in the evening after a wonderful day of swimming and exploring with a cocktail. Our family had games in the studio and around the dinner table every night. It is a 5 minute walk to the beach and snorkeling. Our main goal was to relax, swim, cook, and play board games together. We are a pedestrian family, so we did not rent a car. That said, we will rent the next time we come just so we can explore, at will, more of the island. Their is easy access to public transportation from the cottage.
There are several restaurants within walking distance. If you want a quaint unique farm to table restaurant, my husband and I walked to Vivo on our way to the Cayman Turtle Farm. Amazing food and view.
The Tiki House is right off an active road, so if occasional traffic noise bothers you, this might not be your place.
The kitchen had everything to prepare and serve meals. The two bathrooms for eight people worked out well. They are dated but we all had hot water for our showers.
There was plenty of seating for all of us inside and out. Some of the outside chairs need to be replaced as the salt air has worn the metal down on the legs. The birds and an occasional iguana were more than entertaining and delightful.
One thing missing was a clothesline. We put a temporary one up along the back fence to hang our beach towels up. Because power is expensive and it is an island, we used the lovely gentle breeze in the evening to shake the sand out and dry the towels for the next day's use. It worked every day for us.
If you must connect to the world, the wi-fi connection handled all of us.
Having a keyless entry was nice too. No keys to loose.
If you want a low keyed, chill vacation, where your main attire is a bathing suit, than this is the place. Open the windows and blinds and enjoy.
