Cloud Nine IH #9

***Property Overview*** Welcome to Cloud Nine, a charming and cozy 2-bedroom, 2.5-bath townhome in the heart of Cayman Kai—perfect for young families, active couples, and relaxed travelers seeking sun, sand, and fun without breaking the bank. The big draw to this home is its convenient location, a short walk across the street to the Rum Point Club. This public beach club offers a barefoot swimming beach, snorkeling, jet ski rentals, a beach bar, a fine-dining restaurant, and beautiful sunset views. This newly renovated, professionally decorated two-story home features high-end finishes, including all-new appliances and furniture. Cloud Nine is situated on the edge of Grand Cayman’s famous Bioluminescent Bay, where the waters glow to life after dark. Enjoy it from the communal waterfront pool or launch a kayak or paddleboard for a self-guided tour on moonless nights. For guided tours, reach out to our friends at Cayman Kayaks and save 10% on Bio Bay tours. The home includes 4 complimentary kayaks—2 tandems and 2 singles—plus a paddleboard.

The Kaibo also includes a cafe, Kaibo Espresso, to jumpstart your day with coffee, tea, plus pastries and breakfast wraps. ***Villa Cleaning & Sanitation*** All villas are cleaned and sanitized before each guest’s arrival. 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, 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. This is VERY RARE for homes along the Cayman Kai Cove.
