Be advised, the beach or water entry behind your property may vary slightly from the images displayed due to shifting weather and tide patterns. The next-door beach is also always available for your use. We advise guests to wear foot protection (pool socks or aqua shoes) when entering the ocean to avoid injury on coral heads, ironshore, or rocks. ***Ocean Debris & Sargassum Seaweed*** Beaches in Grand Cayman may also experience floating ocean debris and sargassum weed seasonally. Sargassum is a generally harmless floating seaweed that has increased in frequency in recent years. Although sargassum is an unsightly nuisance, it is largely seasonal in summer. Our owners do make efforts to remove heavy sargassum and will have the beach raked prior to your arrival. Should sargassum be extremely heavy behind your property, we will reach out to the owner for alternative solutions which may include a partial refund or relocation. We try our best to work around mother nature.

Beautiful Home/ Bad fuel
The house was everything the website promised . Perfect !
Be careful when putting gasoline in your rental car- we ended up with diesel in our tank on our way to turn the car in at the airport and that is an expensive way to finish your vacation!!

Some highs some lows.
The view was phenomenal but couldn’t really get into the water due to grasses and rocks so a pool was very much missed. The inside is large and the kitchen was very well equipped but the microwave didn’t work (so they have another one on the counter?) and the fan by the stove didn’t work (which leads to a lot of smoke and odors) and a security detector inside kept beeping. We called the management company who came out to fix the detector 5 days into our visit. The Mgmt company fee, by the way, is ridiculous. It’s supposed to give you discounts and high quality bath products. We got 3 small soaps. The pier and shack at the end were delightful and the location is our favorite

Private, Clean, Rum Point/North Coast Home
Pictures are very accurate and the home has plenty of amenities, as if you were staying at a friends house. Games, books, extra chairs and everything in the kitchen. The property owners, along with Silver Thatch AND the cleaning lady Chloe, were very personable and helpful! Be aware the north side of the island has plenty of wind so snorkeling off our beach front was not possible. That was strictly due to weather though. With calm/warm weather snorkeling would be possible. Also, FYI, there is a enormous amount of seaweed on the beach, limiting space to lounge or lay out in the sand. The seaweed is piled up along the entire stretch of coast 2 feet high and litter is abundant! Again, nothing against the property, more a public service announcement for the northern part of the island.

Everything was perfect.
It was great to have a few paper products already there, plus extra pillows, beach towels, light switches were labeled and phone numbers for anything we needed. The home is very comfortable and nicely decorated with plenty of space, rooms and bathrooms for everyone.

Beautiful View
This house was beautiful. We were unfortunate in our timing, as it was very windy at the house our entire stay. We were unable to use the beach or sit outside during our visit. The beaches were covered in seaweed so thick, we couldn't walk the beach either. Our second night there, the power went out for 5 hours and we weren't able to sleep in the stifling heat. The next day, it was off and on, as well. And every night, I'd wake up around 12:30 am because the a/c in the master was reset to 80 degrees and I'd have to adjust it.
It felt a little stingy that only a partial roll of paper towel was provided and we weren't aware that no cleaning supplies would be there unless discussed prior to our stay. Also, we had two flat tires with our rental vehicles due to the numerous nails and screws found in the parking area. We picked up a few handfuls of them and threw them away to help future visitors. One of the dining chairs is unraveling and my father sliced his finger on an exposed rusty nail. I'm usually not one to complain, as I love VRBO and have used it many times, but this was my least favorite stay through the site.
Fortunately, the weather was amazing on the other side of the island, so we drove over there daily to enjoy the beaches and attractions.
I still gave the home 3 stars instead of less and I'm sure most of our trip would have been different if not for the weather. Also, the views from the home were amazing. We only wish we could have gone outside to enjoy it more!
