Call Cayman Villas! This charming one-bedroom, one-bath beachfront cottage, nestled in a tranquil cove in Cayman Kai, has been transformed into a luxurious romantic hideaway and an authentic Caymanian retreat. Featuring stainless steel appliances, coastal-chic decor, refreshing Caribbean cross-breezes, abundant sunshine, and a lavish king-sized bed with a queen pullout couch, this cottage offers the epitome of comfort and style. And to top it off, it's conveniently located just across from the iconic Rum Point Beach Bar and Restaurant. At Rum Point, guests can indulge in snorkeling in the crystal-clear shallows, relish Surf & Turf dining right on the beach, sip on freshly stirred cocktails (rum-based, naturally!), rent Wave runners, embark on sailboat excursions, and more. After a day of adventure, retreat to Rum Sands to unwind in elegant surroundings. Situated within an intimate 3-cottage complex on Sand Point Cove, Rum Sands boasts a coastal-chic interior that sets it apart. A screened-in lanai offers sweeping views of the sandy cove and its lush tropical landscaping, complete with a gentle breeze stirred by a twirling ceiling fan. Two Adirondack chairs just outside the lanai invite you to sit back and watch the sunrise over the cove. Guests can also explore the area with the double kayak provided by Rum Sands or opt to rent a bicycle or boat for further adventures. Located in Cayman Kai/Rum Point, a predominantly residential area on the serene northern shore of Grand Cayman, Rum Sands offers a peaceful escape. While a rental car is recommended for convenience, guests can enjoy a scenic 45-minute drive from the airport to reach this idyllic destination. Cooking at Rum Sands is a breeze. Simply pick up groceries at the nearby store in Northside, just a short drive away, and take advantage of the fully equipped kitchen with stainless steel appliances and the adjacent dining table. Sharing a meal in paradise is a romantic experience not to be missed, making this cottage an ideal choice for a small family island getaway as well! ## Property amenities ### Beach - On the beach ### Internet - Available in the condo: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Ice maker - Kitchen island - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - Bedroom - Bedsheets provided - Sofa bed ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Garden ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Housekeeping (on request) - Iron/ironing board - Phone ### Location highlights - In a rural location - Near a hospital - Near the bay - Near the marina - Near the sea - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Golf - Kayak - Birdwatching nearby - Cycling nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Jet skiing nearby - Sailing nearby - Scuba diving nearby - Snorkeling nearby - Surfing/bodyboarding nearby - Swimming nearby - Windsurfing nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Garden - Housekeeping (on request) - Unit size: 1,000 square feet ## Similar properties ![On the beach, sun loungers, beach towels](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/20000000/19570000/19562600/19562501/371d0e70.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The Harvey Nicole: Modern Caribbean Ocean Front Condo Grand Cayman.

Jun 5, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A wonderful place to stay in Rum Point Having never been to Grand Cayman or Rum Point before, we didn't quite know what we were looking for. This unit is one of the very few that has both bay frontage (on the bio bay - TOTALLY worth it) as well as ocean view from the front porch. You are literally looking at water on both sides. For the money, this place can't be beat. And the host was super helpful with answering questions about local restaurants and experiences.

It was very clean and beautifully decorated. The kitchen was well equipped. We also had a cooler, snorkel gear, beach towels and much more available for our use. The location is across the street from the beach, restaurant and gift shop. The bioluminescent bay is in the backyard. A kayak was provided for our use and we went out at night into the bay. The bioluminescence is amazing and a MUST SEE. ##### Tammy B. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bonnie P. Mar 11, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautifully appointed property This cottage was even better than we expected. It was a bit hard to find the first time, but it was a great location. It was right across the street from the beach, and just steps away from the bioluminescent bay. The cottage was so charming! It had a fully stocked kitchen (cooking supplies, not food) and even had water bottles in the fridge. The bed and pillows were comfortable. There were plenty of towels, including beach towels. There was also bug spray and sunscreen! There were 2 enclosed porches, which was unexpected, plus sunchairs you can take to the beach, and a cooler. We were very comfortable and happy there. The only tough thing was that it is at least a 45 minute drive into George Town, more if there was traffic. Overall, we were very happy in this cottage. Thank you for a great experience! ##### Bonnie P. Stayed 5 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Todd R. Feb 28, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great Location in Rum Point Right on the end of bioluminescent bay with a very short walk to Rum Point Beach. Having access to a double kayak was great to explore the bay during the day and at night to see the water turn blue while you paddle around. The water in the bay is very shallow, about 4 ft deep. Did not see anyone swimming in it, but kayaking and paddle boarding and deep enough for boats and jet skis to go in and out. Lots of outdoor furniture to enjoy a lazy day near the water. Quiet neighborhood, not a lot of traffic in this area. Well equipped home. Would definitely stay there again. Good communication with the host. Great area to spend a few days. Had good experiences at both the Rum Point and Kaibo restaurants. Note that there are only 2 restaurants in the immediate area so reservations are recommended. A 3rd one is about a 10-15 minute drive. Overall, a nice place to stay and one of the best locations for that area. ##### Todd R. Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Scott V. Aug 21, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect Location for Bio Bay Self Kayak and Rum Point Snorkeling and Sunsets The location is absolutely perfect! Rum Point is the best. 1\. Best Part. Access to Bio Bay with a kayak. Easy paddle on flat bay to see the bioilluminescence. Perfect location for free access to bio bay. 2\. Directly across the street is public access to the ocean side of Rum Point for amazing snorkeling. Swim out to coral gardens or out to the barrier reef for some of the best snorkeling on the island. Also the beach has amazing sand for the best ohotos of the best sunsets on the whole island. 3\. Starfish point is just around the corner. See the starfish for free. The Rum Point facilities across the street have a nice restaurant and access to boat trips for stingray samdbar, snorkeling, and other trips. Jet ski rentals. House was clean and pleasant. Grounds very well kept. Washer/dryer for wet clothes from all the snorkeling was great. Host Jennifer was helpful and responsive. ##### Scott V.

Aug 14, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Rum Point Getaway We had a wonderful time on Grand Cayman staying at the Rum Sands Condo. It was just perfect for the two of us. The condo was clean and had great amenities. We used the cooler, beach chairs, and towels every day. We used the Weber grill and the double kayak several times. (Bioluminesence was fantatic!) Plenty of toilet paper, paper towel, soap, shampoo, laundry soap, and charcoal was provided. (I don't know if this is the norm or not!) There was even bottled water in the fridge for us. Jennifer from the property management was super friendly and helpful. The lanai and all the chairs outside were perfect for morning coffee and the blender provided looked small but packed a punch and made beautiful mudslides, and the ice maker works great - better than ours at home. Rum Point beach was lovely. The restaurant there was great and we could snorkel right out to what I think was a marine park. We saw a sea turtle and several sting rays not too far out. It's a bit of a drive back to Georgetown, but we only made that trip once, otherwise, we loved the location. The only negative was the lack of plastic cups - I recommend you bring your own refillable bottle. Stay here and you will not be disappointed! ##### Frances H.

Jan 4, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect Rum Point location with bioluminescent bay in the backyard! Really enjoyed our stay here. Nice landscaping and an attractive unit as part of a multiplex. A quiet place for getting away from it all, but very close to the water. This is a nicely-organized place with a bedroom and bathroom up a half-flight, and kitchen/dining/living area that's spacious. Out the back door, there's a lanai with table and chairs for lounging or having a meal (safe from mosquitoes - being next to the little cove off the north bay, there's a lot of mosquitoes, and they provided some mosquito repellent which you want to put on if you're going to be in the area for any length of time). Kitchen has all the basics, and you have a lot of dinnerware. Baking might be a little challenge, but enough pots and pans to cook meals. Full-sized micro, fridge, oven/stove, garbage disposal sink, and a small but quite effective dishwasher. A/C works great. There are automatic metal shutters on the back windows (from the LR and BR) - just push a button on the remote to close/open them as needed. Nice way to lock up and block out some light for nighttime. W/D worked great, too, so you don't have. to pack as many clothes for your trip! They had a kayak for your use in the backyard (life vests and chairs in the lanai) and you could just drag it out to the shore off your backyard to launch. Across the street is Rum Point, a minute's walk to that beach which faces the northern reef of the island. ##### Kyle W.

Dec 11, 2023 #### Excellent stay in paradise at Rum Sands Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My family and I had a very pleasant stay at Rum Sands. The villa has everything you need, is beautifully decorated and comfortable, especiallly in keeping with the vibe of Cayman and the Caribbean. I would definitely stay here again. Right across from the sea, it doesn’t get any better. The host was also very helpful and available for anything we had questions about. Thank you :) ##### Shannon M. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Daniel N. Dec 9, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Excellent location. Communications was perfect.

Lovely views out the back to the bay and across the road to the front of the ocean at Rum Point. Just steps from the beautiful beach and a longer walk (maybe 30 minutes) to Kaibo. Quiet and peaceful. We made good use of the kayak to see the bioluminescence which save us the high price of an organised trip. We loved it ##### Sue F. Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Allen D.

It's a short walk from the very underrated Rum Point Beach and there are some cool activities on this side of the island that are less busy than the more commercial Seven Mile Beach area. ##### Allen D.
