Kick off your shoes and relax in your tropical home away from home. Play in the sea, sunbathe by the pool, indulge in local culinary delights, and end your day with a romantic sunset all at Barefoot Lagoon. Located on the protected cove in the heart of Cayman Kai, Barefoot Lagoon is an ideal option for small families and couples. This island home spans two floors with the living areas on the lower level and two-bedroom suites on the upper level. The downstairs area features an open floor plan with the living, dining, and kitchen areas flowing into the home's two-story screened lanai porch. The two-story lanai includes a patio dining area directly off the kitchen. A propane grill sits on the lanai perfect for island cookouts. Tropical trees and shrubs steps off the backdoor lead to the shared pool and boat dock where you can launch one of the three kayaks (1 tandem, 2 singles) provided during your stay. The pool and dock are just 100 feet from the backdoor. Adventure seekers will want to explore the cove (also known as Bioluminescent Bay) at night to watch the waters glow under the stars. Back inside, the lower level also includes a small home office, a fully equipped kitchen with modern appliances, a laundry room, and a half bathroom. The upper-level features 2 bedroom suites each with a private balcony overlooking the screened lanai. ***Sleeping Arrangements*** (Sleeps 6 guests max) -- Master Suite: upper-level, waterfront views, king bed, walk-out screened balcony, ensuite bath with shower/tub combo. -- Guest Suite: upper-level, waterfront views, two double beds, TV, walk-out screened balcony, ensuite bath with shower/tub combo. -- Additional Bedding: rollaway bed provided in the home office.
