Nautilus Cottage - Charming 7 Mile Beachfront Cottage by Cayman Villas

Located directly on Seven Mile Beach along Boggy Sand Road in West Bay, our exquisite beachfront cottage invites you to immerse yourself in the charm of Caymanian heritage. Situated on the National Trust's Historical Walking Tour of old Caymanian homes, this idyllic retreat is nestled among mature seagrape trees at the tranquil northern end of Seven Mile Beach, offering a serene escape from the bustling resort areas. Please remember your water socks, as sometimes the beach can get a little rocky!

Just offshore lie some of the most renowned dive sites on the western end of Grand Cayman, while shallower reefs beckon snorkelers, with the popular Cemetery Reef just a few hundred yards south. For those seeking land-based pleasures, the beach and expansive outdoor deck, shaded by seagrape trees, provide the perfect backdrop for relaxation with a good book and a refreshing beverage. Unwind in the comfort of this cozy seaside bungalow, where rest and relaxation are assured.

The cottage features two bedrooms, each offering stunning views of the private deck, beach, and sea, along with its own private bathroom. The fully equipped kitchen boasts all the comforts of home, allowing you to savor homemade meals or keep your favorite beverages chilled for post-dining relaxation. Step onto the private and spacious outdoor deck to bask in the sun, immerse yourself in a captivating book, or simply marvel at the mesmerizing views of Seven Mile Beach.

Within a short 5-minute walk, a convenience store offers essential supplies, while nearby local restaurants await to tantalize your taste buds. A brief drive brings you to a large grocery store, a liquor store, and a plethora of dining options, including Macabuca, The Cracked Conch, Villas Pappagallo, Calypso Grill and Tukka West. Nearby attractions such as the Cayman Turtle Center, Dolphin Cove, scuba diving excursions, and Stingray City tours promise endless entertainment.

Nautilus Cottage and Condos provide an idyllic sanctuary to unwind, relax, and create unforgettable memories during your stay here in Grand Cayman.

Another amazing vacation.

This was our second stay at the cottage and it is still our favorite place on the island. We had a rental car so we explored the island during the day and had this quiet oasis to return to in the evenings. Love it.

Ultimate relaxation

Although the house and deck were terrific, we spent most of our time snorkeling the reefs right outside. Perfect little house where we stocked up at the awesome nearby grocery store and cooked all week. No crowds, no restaurants, no tourists traps. Just an awesome stay for some peaceful R&R.
