Present Moment: Family Beach House w/Pool, Spa, Free Kayak + Kid’s Suite w/Xbox One

***PROPERTY OVERVIEW***
Welcome to Present Moment, a villa on the outskirts of the Bodden Town beach that is the ideal retreat to create picture-perfect vacation memories with family and friends.

This beautiful, spacious villa is directly on the beach with sweeping ocean views. The beach is both sandy and pebbly, so water entry requires water socks or pool shoes. Swimmers and snorkelers will find a sandy bottom less than 100 yards from shore. The snorkeling in this area is spectacular!

After exploring the tropical sea life, rinse off using the outdoor shower before a refreshing dip into the fabulous infinity pool. A Baja shelf with submerged pool loungers will quickly become your favorite spot.

The villa�s pool deck also includes a heated spa to melt your worries away and raised oceanfront sun deck for that perfect tan. A tandem kayak is provided complimentary during your stay.

Open and spacious living areas are furnished with contemporary furniture and modern decor. A wall of oceanfront windows provides gorgeous tropical views allowing natural light to flood the home.

After a long day enjoying the island, sink into the comfy sectional sofa to watch a movie, read a novel, or play some family-fun board games.

This single-story private residence can sleep up to 12 guests comfortably across four bedroom suites each with a private bath.

***Beach Notes***
All beaches in Grand Cayman are technically public since the Queen 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 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.

Loved this house!
Rented the house for a friends diving trip. From the house it was fairly easy to get into town. Loved coming back to the house in the afternoon and enjoying the incredible pool and outdoor area. Everything at the property was as stated in the listing. It was very clean and roomy for our group. The staff we communicated with was very responsive. Would defiantly recommend this house!

The house was spectacular.!! Everything was in order. We had ten family members - 9 adults and one 16 year old. The infinity pool and spa was well used by all. A ride of 30 minutes took you to Georgetown, seven mile beach and all the restaurants and night life. A great house for relaxing and winding down from daily life.

Good times & lots of leisure
We were 3 families traveling for leisure. The house is in a wonderful, quiet location. You absolutely must have a car for your group to travel with. It is a 10 minute drive to the grocery, and a 20 to 30 minute drive to all activities. That being said, we absolutely loved staying at this location. The house has plenty of space for our needs and outdoor pool sundeck, hot tub area was where our parties stayed a majority of the time. The beach, once we swept it ourselves, was very nice. Would be nice if this house would have a caretaker come by to do such activities. One of the showers is almost unusable (water barely comes out) in the middle bedroom. We did request it be fixed on the first day but it never was. We purchased two kayaks to use on a daily basis, but the coral is too thick to really enjoy them. Several people in our group got turned over and injured on the coral while trying to kayak. If you’re very interested in swimming in the water this might not be the location for you the coral makes it very difficult to enjoy the water. There was somewhere in tear around the house, like the cushions on the lounger’s, pillows, and one shower but otherwise the house is in good condition. The kitchen had everything we needed. Our group cooks a lot, and never needed anything. The security system works well and was easy to use. If we ever return to this location, we will probably stay here again. Our group very much enjoyed our stay for the week.

Great place
From the start we met Sonya upon arrival and she was fantastic. She offered to even take us to get groceries. Everything was seamless. The place was just as it said. It was clean enough bedrooms and the pool area was just what we needed. Everyone we met was so nice including the taxi drivers Marci and Devorn. There is a local store/gas station you can walk to. You can also take the bus for $2. I highly recommend this place for large and small groups.

Amazing property and the infinity pool was awesome!!
We loved this property! The views are spectacular!! It’s so so private and the shore had lots to explore with snorkeling and fishing right off the property. Plenty of room for all 10 of us. The kitchen was fully stocked. They had plenty of coffee, beach towels, cascade, Dawn, laundry detergent, etc.

Beautiful views, great pool
We loved our stay here! House is exactly what you see in the pictures. The pool area was wonderful! We had two families of 5 each and the house was the perfect size for us. It does take about 25-30 minutes to get to many activities and restaurants. The beach was nice but lots of dead seaweed, but we heard that’s not normal. The beach is sandy up to the water where it gets rocky and lots of sea urchins for probably the first 20 feet but once u get past that there is good snorkeling. It did always seem to be more wavy in this area than 7 mile beach but that also meant there was a nice breeze which there wasn’t on 7 mile beach. We brought our own masks and snorkels but they had some there and fins too. Probably a good idea to bring water shoes. There really aren’t any useable kayaks that u r allowed to use there. Don’t bother getting the one out of the storage area. It’s super hard to get in and out and is very flimsy and doesn’t work well. Overall we had a great time and would recommend this house!

We loved the location of the property as it was away from the busy areas and yet it didn't take long to get to grocery stores, restaurants etc. Sonya, our property manager, was really fantastic to work with. She responded promptly to requests and was very kind. The house is clean, has all the amenities we were looking for - pool and hot tub and right on the beach. Great eating areas and each bedroom had its own bathroom. Also appreciate the washer and dryer. Would definitely stay here again!

Fun time in Bodden Town
From the moment we walked in to the home we felt welcomed and at ease. Everything was exactly as you see on the website. The property manager was waiting for us with a lovely food tray that was exactly what we needed after a long day of travel. Rooms were comfy, pool and hot tub were fantastic and everything was thought of. Couldn't ask for a better vacation. Location was also good. Far enough from the crowds in Georgetown but not too far from any area on the island.

This was a lovely home! Just what the family needed. The location is in a small neighborhood and a bit far from most things. This was our first time in Cayman so picking a location was in us.

I would highly recommend this vacation home. The house was beautiful and the pool/sun area is second to none. You will definitely need to rent a car. This home is conveniently located in between Rum Point and 7-Mile. My family was able to easily explore the entire island. Very close to 2-Must See Restaurants - Grape Tree Cafe (Best Fish Fry on the Island) 0.5 Mile Away - The Czech Inn Grill (Incredible Food & Great People!) 1 Mile Away Would definitely recommend!

We really enjoyed our stay at Present Moment. Plenty of space for everyone (we were a family of 5- 2 adults and 3 kids ages 12-17)- kids enjoyed having their own bedroom and bathroom. Was nice to have starter set of shampoo/conditioner/soap provided in each bathroom. Kitchen had everything we needed when we did cook. Property manager was great and very helpful. We especially appreciated the charcuterie board upon our arrival on Sunday since the grocery stores are closed on Sundays. House came with 6 beach chairs and an umbrella - great for daily beach trips!

Beautiful House Away From The Crowds
This house is beautiful and modern. The space was perfect for two families of four. The bunk room was perfect for all 4 kids. The master bedroom has an amazing view of the ocean to wake up to each morning. The pool and back patio and deck areas were great for watching the sunrise, meals, and hanging out around the pool. The kitchen was very well equipped with enough silverware and dishes, pots and pans, Keurig, Nespresso and pods for each; a regular coffee pot and a tea kettle. We felt very much at home. We cooked meals most nights and had everything we needed to prep and cook in the kitchen. Jennifer was very easy to get ahold of whenever we had questions and if we didn't catch her she responded quickly. We had to contact her twice about the hot tub not working and she did everything she could to help us in a timely manor. Helpful tips: This house is approximately 25-30 minutes from the airport and it was $160 for all 8 of us to go to the house via cab. It is about the same distance to get around to 7 mile beach. You may want to rent a car or budget for taxi rides. Grocery stores are closed on Sunday. Our closest store was about 15 minutes to drive to(Foster's IGA Savannah). The end of May is rainy season and it rained all but one of our 7 days. (We actually didn't mind, it didn't stop us at all, but I know it would be a game changer for some.) . The sargassum covered the beach on this side of the Island 10 feet up into the sand and about 50 feet out into the water, so there was no swimming or playing on the beach by the house. We were told this is seasonal. Not to worry though, there are plenty of beaches to visit on other sides of the Island! We loved getting out and exploring the beautiful Island and then having a quiet house away from all the crowds to come back to. Highly recommend the Lobster Pot and The Wharf to eat. The Turtle Farm, StingRay City, Royal Palms Beach Club on 7 mile Beach were some of our favorite places. They made for great day trips. We made a lot of great memories and had a wonderful trip!

Great Vacation Spot
House was perfect for 9 adults and 3 young children. Summer is HOT in the Caymans and the pool was well used to keep everyone cool. Location was peaceful and centrally located making it easy to get to all spots on the island. Yes, it is expensive to visit the Caymans but we found the home and ability to manage our meals a better deal than a hotel and eating out everyday.
