Perfect getaway

The location is perfect for a quiet few days away. The staff was wonderful as were the other guests. Since this is such a small property, it felt like a nice, private vacation location. Highly recommend.

Perfect Cayman Relaxation

The property/grounds/room are impeccably clean and organized. We loved the peace and quiet (only the sounds of the sea) this property offers. The hostesses are so kind, courteous and engaged! Even bringing Valentine flowers! Walking distance to grocery/liquor… We thoroughly enjoyed and hope to return!

The Perfect Serene Getaway

This is an awesome hidden gem! If you're looking for a quiet and serene get away that sits right off the beach, then this is it! The cottage had all the amenities you would need and whatever they didn't have, just ask and it would be provided to you. Glynn and Marianne (Apologies for misspellings) were incredible co-hosts. They were friendly yet professional and would provide recommendations or guidance to anything I may of needed while on the island for the first time.

Peaceful getaway

We loved our stay at the Cottages. We celebrated our 25th anniversary at the perfect place. It was quiet, romantic and excellent accommodations. The room was perfect for 2. Pool and ocean are just outside our lanai. Several unique experiences we enjoyed as well including the sea turtle aquarium, botanical garden, and the crystal caves. 7 mile beach was just a casual drive away along the coast line. Food, people and the atmosphere was phenomenal. We can’t wait to come back.
