On The Rocks

***Property Overview*** Perched along the rugged South Coast in the exclusive Beach Bay community, On The Rocks is a seven-bedroom gated estate blending low-country plantation charm with modern Caribbean living. Located just 20 minutes from the airport, it offers the perfect balance of secluded privacy and easy access to Grand Cayman’s best attractions. While the estate offers total tranquility, a sandy beach cove is just a five-minute walk away. This protected spot is a snorkeler’s paradise, teeming with lobster and tropical fish. Eventually, the Mandarin Oriental will build a five-star hotel here, but until then, it’s open to the public to enjoy. The heart of the villa is the expansive oceanfront pool deck, designed for an effortless indoor-outdoor lifestyle. Step from the central great room directly to your private freshwater pool, surrounded by a wide sundeck and comfortable sun beds. For a break from the sun, the lush Zoysia grass lawn feels like velvet underfoot, while mature palms provide natural shade. Outdoor living is anchored by a classic gazebo, an idyllic spot for al fresco dining by the sea. Whether you’re enjoying a quiet sunset at the gazebo or hosting a group of 12 under the shaded veranda lounge, the turquoise Caribbean sea remains your constant backdrop. Inside, the island-casual vibes continue with a gourmet kitchen and a spacious laundry room for effortless stays. The main level is built for connection, featuring a plush lounge and seamless access to the wrap-around veranda—a favorite for sunrise yoga or a quiet read. Multizone HVAC, high-speed Wi-Fi, and an HD cable TV will keep you cool and connected during your stay. The home’s seven bedrooms are spread across two levels, with four upstairs, two downstairs, and a detached studio suite above the garage. The studio suite is ideal for those who prefer to be under separate roofs from the rest of the group. ***Sleeping Arrangements*** (Sleeps 14 guests max.) -- Bedroom 1: primary suite, upper-level, king bed, ocean views, HD TV, walk-out access to a private balcony, ensuite with soaking tub and separate shower. -- Bedroom 2: upper-level, queen bed, ocean views, desk + chair, shares adjacent hall bathroom equipped with a shower bath. -- Bedroom 3: upper-level, two twin beds, garden views, shares adjacent hall bathroom equipped with a shower bath. -- Bedroom 4: upper-level, queen bed, garden views, shares adjacent hall bathroom equipped with a shower bath. -- Bedroom 5: lower-level, queen bed, ocean views, HD TV, walk-out access to the pool deck, shares connected bathroom equipped with a shower bath. -- Bedroom 6: lower-level, queen bed, shares connected bathroom equipped with a shower bath. -- Bedroom 7: detached studio suite above the garage, queen bed, air conditioning, kitchenette, living area, HD TV, AppleTV, Xbox 360, full bathroom with shower.

We also ask our owners to provide a starter supply of extra cleaning products. Additional housekeeping services can be purchased after booking in 3-hour time blocks. Scheduling may be coordinated with your property manager upon arrival. ***Beach Notes*** All beaches in Grand Cayman are technically public since the Crown owns up to the high watermark. Be advised that 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 over the summer. Our owners do make efforts to remove heavy sargassum and will have the beach raked before your arrival. Should sargassum be extremely heavy behind your property, we will reach out to the owner for alternative solutions. We try our best to work around Mother Nature.
