==> Reopening Update - as of 02/22/2022 <== Traveling to Grand Cayman just got easier! As of February 18, the Cayman Islands have dropped all on-island testing for incoming travelers.

Additional flights from Atlanta, Charlotte, and Baltimore will be added in March. Current travel requirements include: -- Pre-register travel and vaccination status with Travel Cayman. A certificate of travel will be required for all members of your group for entry. -- Unvaccinated children ages 11 and younger will assume the vaccination status of their traveling adult/guardian. -- All travelers, ages 5 and above, must provide proof of a negative rapid test taken no earlier than the day before arrival. Your home country may require pre-departure testing for your return flight. Be sure to know your country’s testing requirements in advance. The quarantine period for unvaccinated travelers has been reduced from 10 to 7 days. Additional updates will be shared across all our listings as official guidance is made public. =================== ===> SCROLL BELOW FOR OUR CANCELLATION POLICY <=== ===> CANCELLATIONS SUBJECT TO REFUND LESS A 3.5% ADMIN FEE <=== ***Property Overview*** Welcome to KiToCay! This 3,000 sq. ft. home is located in the village of Old Man Bay on the island's beautiful North Side. KiToCay boasts a panoramic oceanfront living area with spectacular views, plus an over-the-water deck with a tiled cabana. Many of our guests have compared the views and feel of this home with that of being on the bow of a cruise ship with the open ocean enveloping your senses from virtually every direction. KiToCay's interiors are just as impressive as any home on Grand Cayman. The open concept design, stylishly decorated with contemporary furniture and luxurious finishes, features an oceanfront living area furnished with a plush sectional sofa, flat-screen TV, and ocean views that will take your breath away. The full gourmet kitchen is a vacationing chef's paradise. Equipped with top-of-the-line appliances--including double ovens, a gas range with grill top, and tons of counter space--guests can enjoy the comforts of a home-cooked meal away from home. A small general store, Chisholm's Grocery, is a quick 5-minute drive to the west to stock up on foods, snacks, and drinks. For dining out, guests can walk down the street to Over the Edge Restaurant and Bar for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. ***Sleeping Arrangements*** (Sleeps 5 adults/guests max.) -- Master Suite: spans entire upper-level, king bed, ocean views, private walkout balcony, TV, desk, and ensuite bathroom with double vanity and glass shower (owner removed bathtub). -- Guest Bedroom: lower level, queen bed, TV, shares hall bathroom with shower/tub combo. -- Den: lower level, queen sleeper sofa, ceiling fan, shares adjacent hall bath. Off the main level, the over-the-water deck provides access to the waters down below via a spiraling staircase. However, the best and safest way to enter the water will be from either of the sandy beach lots next door. The owner of KiToCay also owns the neighboring beach lots and maintains them with tropical landscaping providing a private beach retreat during your stay. Dubbed Toki Beach, the east lot is furnished with a hammock ringed with palm trees for guests to enjoy seaside relaxation under the shade. Guests have used this beach to host small weddings, rehearsal dinners, and private events. The snorkeling here is incredible. The reef is about 100 yards straight out from the east lot, Toki Beach. We strongly advise snorkeling along the east of the boat channel which is clearly marked by two navigation poles. Snorkeling beyond the poles near the reef cut is risky! Powerful undercurrents can prove dangerous even for experienced snorkelers. KiToCay appeals to small families, traveling couples, and honeymooners. Discount rates are available for smaller groups. *Notes: 1) A Cleaning Fee may be required due to enhanced cleaning, sanitation, and inspection protocols. ================================ *** Cancellation Policy *** Should guests cancel outside of 60 days from arrival, half of the initial deposit, less a 3.50% processing fee, will be refunded to the card on file.

Be advised, the beach or water entry behind your property may vary slightly from the images displayed due to weather. The next-door beach is also always available for your use. ***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. ***Silver Thatch Guest Services*** The 10% Guest Service Fee includes your Silver Thatch Membership.
