Guests can relax and unwind in complete seclusion at this tropical sanctuary. Conveniently located within a short drive to Rum Point Beach, guests are also only a 5-minute walk from The Kaibo Marina and Starfish Point. A rental car is strongly recommended, as taxi service is unreliable outside of Seven Mile Beach and there is no Uber or Lyft on the island. Upon arrival, your on-island property manager will meet and greet you to answer any questions you may have about the area and provide a tour of the villa. Your property manager can also arrange additional housekeeping services if needed. A caretaker comes included with the vila to maintain the property grounds only raking the beach in the mornings and tidying the pool deck and outdoor grilling station. Grocery delivery can be ordered in advance of your arrival and pre-stocked in the kitchen by the caretaker. The oceanfront great room is the indoor focal point of this home with its vaulted ceilings and 24-foot wide wall of glass doors leading to the veranda and pool deck. The pool is set below the veranda into an Ipe wood deck laid above the sand offering guests an immersive experience with beachfront views while cooling off during the hot summer months. Ceiling fans under the veranda provide an additional breeze for guest comfort. Multiple hammocks and palm trees line the backyard.

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.
