"Sandy Bottom" - 2 Bedroom Villa On The Beach At Gardens Of The Kai

The Gardens of the Kai is a small group of privately owned stand alone houses situated in the quiet, pristine area of Cayman Kai - a very private, exclusive part of beautiful Grand Cayman. The houses are set directly on the white sand beach, with gorgeous sunset views, and a fresh water pool, all in tropical landscaped gardens.
A very short walk from Gardens of the Kai you will find Kaibo - a rustic Caribbean Beach Bar/Restaurant surrounded by coconut palms. Here you will experience part of the real Cayman. With its downstairs thatched bar and upstairs white tablecloth formal dining, Kaibo defines both barefoot escapism and romantic dining. Caribbean cocktails or cold local beer together with local fish, salads, wraps and entrées hot off the grill while overlooking the sea makes your dining experience unforgettable.
For further sea adventures and dining options, a short drive or easy 5 minute bike ride away along the sandy road is Rum Point, with its Red Sail watersport outlet, upscale restaurant and famous wreck bar. For active travelers we offer two kayaks and two bikes. Just a short walk along the beach is “Robinson Crusoe” Starfish Point.
Gardens of the Kai beach is reef protected, and tranquil with gently lapping waves. No need to reserve a beach chair here. Just pick out your favorite palm and relax while listening to bird song and enjoying a gentle breeze.
Gardens of The Kai #5 offers single family privacy where you can fully enjoy your paradise vacation. The house has a living and dining area open to a screened terrace designed for outdoor living, casual dining and walk out to the beach. There is a fully equipped kitchen including a wine cooler, Keurig coffee machine, and comfortable tropical furnishings. In addition to the living/dining area and kitchen, the ground floor has a bedroom with a queen bed and a single bed and a bathroom. The entire upstairs is a spacious master suite with king bed, large closets & private balcony overlooking the turquoise Caribbean sea. Washer/dryer, BBQ, cable TV, CD/DVD, blue ray DVD, kayak, bikes, books, games, WiFi internet, and HP printer are all provided. Non smoking unit.

Sandy Bottom was the perfect spot for our week in Grand Cayman. We wanted to be away from the busy beaches and big resorts so we could really escape & relax. The villa was beautiful, clean and provided everything from towels to kayaks.We will definitely be back!

Amazing Stay
We loved our stay at Sandy Bottoms. The property was gorgeous! Awesome screened in porch and beautiful view from the Master. Fresh flowers were a beautiful touch upon arrival. The house was so clean and just as pictured online. We enjoyed the beach chairs. The water was calm and great for our kids. The closet inside had plenty of sand toys, noodles and a float. They were so kind and brought us 2 travel beach chairs that we used when visiting 7 Mile. There were 2 kayaks that we used daily. There was a 2 person and a single but it worked great to use the single kayak for an adult and youngest child. Property managers were super responsive as well. Bring plenty of sunscreen and bug spray! Loved our stay!!

We really enjoyed this property. The location is great and the beach is perfect for small children. Having a stingray tour that leaves from across the street was super convenient. Food and drinks at Kaibo and Rum Point were excellent. We’ll be back!

This was our first trip to Grand Cayman and we definitely picked the right place for what we were looking for... quiet, beautiful, clean, and inviting. Everything was represented accurately. We were able to spend a couple quiet days away from the crowded areas and explore other parts of the island. Not a terrible commute to Georgetown and West Bay if wanted.

Outstanding house and location
Our family throughly enjoyed our stay here in Cayman. This is a quiet but very luxurious area full of very nice homes right on the beaches. Gardens of the Kai beach was great for wading in and spending time in the water with a cocktail. Further out snorkeling and there were starfish everywhere. You can see in the distance Stingray city. A beautiful location. The property was clean and modern. There were fresh flowers placed on the table in the screened porch as well as inside in the living room. A great touch!! The house was very comfortable and the views were spectacular! We walked (the 100 or so feet) down the street to Kaibo yacht club for food/drinks a couple times. Great spot and launch point for snorkel and stingray city trips. Rum point is another great spot we enjoyed for drinks and a dinner. Overall a great vacation and the house was fantastic. Can’t wait to come back.

My husband and I stayed here. If you are looking for a quiet and clean space, that is on the beach, then this is it. There are 2 restaurants nearby. All others are quite a drive to get to but we didn’t mind at all. We enjoyed being away from all of the hustle and bustle. We would love to stay here again.

The condo was exactly as described in the listing, location was super close to Kaibo Restaurant, the ferry to Camama Bay, bio-luminescent bay and starfish point. We had two very minor needs during a stay, and owner response was super prompt. Highlight was watching sunset from the beach in front of the condo, stunning!

The house was very well-kept and stocked and the location can’t be beat. We had beautiful and tranquil views of the bay and the kids enjoyed snorkeling. Rum Point is a great place to stay to get away from the crowds and have peaceful relaxing time at the beach.

Perfect stay
The property was beautiful and right on the beach. Kitchen was well stocked which as minor as that seems is very very helpful so you don't have to buy condiments and seasonings if you want to cook. The beach is not a great swimming beach but the sunsets are beautiful.! Starfish point is within walking distance so we swam there. we took the kayaks out many times even kayaked out to the reef and stingray city. There is a pool for the community and even though it's for everybody we were the only people in it the entire week. Fosters, the larger grocery store is a little bit of a drive but we stocked up on our way in and then there is a little local grocery store which really had a lot of the small things we needed here and there.

Outstanding
We love the Cayman Islands, and this property gave us a wonderful homebase for a week. The master suite was large and comfortable, with the enclosed sitting area for a view of the ocean, large shower and the extra office space all air conditioned for comfort. There was plenty of space for cooking and relaxing throughout the rest of the home. We loved having the full use of the bikes because the area was safe and not too busy so we could bike to rum point, Kaibo and starfish point very easily, as well as the kayaks because the ocean was very calm so we could kayak to Bioluminous Bay, as well as the other locations mentioned that we biked to. The beach out front of the property was convenient, but we found ourselves out and about most often on Rum Point and only 1x to 7 Mile beach. We have snorkel equipment, and Rum point area is great for that activity. We saw 6 little squid or cuttlefish, 7 stingray (before we went to Stingray city), many starfish that weren't just at Starfish Point, 1 large Tarpon, 2 crabs, 1 Iguana, multiple hermit crabs, 3 upside-down jellyfish, and many beautiful fish. The Cayman's are beautiful and this property was the best way to vacation on Grand Cayman.

Great house in a great location
Loved our week here at Kai Gardens. The house is perfect - well appointed and well located with beautiful views. The beach is very nice - the water is not as clear as over on 7MB but is good for a swim. We went to Kaibo beach club a few times for dinner and on our last night we went “upstairs” which was wonderful - otherwise we cooked / barbecued at home (did our shopping near airport - much cheaper than the local supermarket). Kids did their PADI at Ocean Frontiers (very good) otherwise Silver Thatch is a good local alternative (snorkel, fishing and scuba diving). We would most certainly return.

peaceful location
The property is exactly as pictured. The location is very quiet and peaceful, away from the chaos of the Seven Mile Beach area. We did make a few trips into Georgetown for excursions and to go to Seven Mile Beach but we loved being able to relax at this villa and escape the chaos. The pool is great and my kids were able to find several "pool friends" to swim with daily. The beach is a little grassy, not the greatest for swimming but the sand is great and we had several starfish right along the shoreline. We even had the bioluminescent bay creep into our water a couple of night so we were able to experience that just by walking out to our own shoreline. I would highly recommend getting groceries at one of the big grocery stores when you get to the city (or have them delivered, I heard there was a grocery store that would deliver for like $20) because the closest grocery store is outrageously expensive.

Perfect First Visit to Grand Cayman
My family of four (hubby, me, and our two boys ages 9 and 6) rented unit #5 at Gardens of the Kai this past week and were blown away with how wonderful it was!! The location is perfect if you are planning to go to Rum Point, Stingray City, Starfish Point and Kaibo! We walked to Kaibo for lunches and dinners (the Tuesday night beach BBQ is not to be missed! Make reservations!), we took a catamaran from Rum Point to Stingray City with Red Sail, we had a family photo shoot at Starfish Point, and since we rented a car we were able to travel to the East End one day for the Parrot Sanctuary and Tukka East. This location is PERFECT! It’s protected from the wind and the sargassum is not super thick. It’s not the same crystal clear water of 7MB, but it is so quiet and relaxing that you won’t miss that hustle and bustle. The unit itself is beautifully decorated and comfortable with all the comforts of home! The whole second floor is the master suite and it is gorgeous! The second bedroom downstairs is perfect for 2-3 kids or 2 kids and grandma/ a nanny since it has a queen bed and a single bed. The view from the front porch is spectacular and you are a few short steps to the beach, with the complex’s pool directly behind your unit - like I said, perfect location all the way around!

Second great stay
This property is in the perfect location and the perfect size for a family with a couple of kids. It is right on the beach and comes with kayaks and bicycles to do some exploring. The entire upstairs is the master suite which is beautiful and everything is just well done here. This was our second year in a row at this property and we will most likely try and do it again next year. The last day of our stay this year we had an issue with power and the air conditioning. The property manager quickly got an electrician on site, and most of the power up and running. I really appreciated the quick response and was even given a partial refund for the inconvenience. That really says a lot about the owner, the manager, and the pride they take in this property.

Peaceful getaway for quality time
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, it was exactly what we were looking for. Peaceful get away on the beach to get refreshed but still be around restaurants and things to do. I will be back, in fact I’d buy it. The photos and description accurately reflect the property. The management company is very responsive to questions and issues. Beds are comfortable and the master shower is fantastic. Kaibo and Rum Point restaurants are easy walks from the house. The only thing I’d recommend is to bring a temporary sticky child safety latch for the screen door if you have young kids or kids that can’t swim. The locks on the sliding doors are sufficient for security but strong willed kids could potentially open them.
