🏝️VACAY KAI: Beachfront 1 Bdrm Penthouse. SPECIAL:‼️Discount‼️ for 7+ Days Rental‼️

Location Location Location!! Wakeup each day to YOUR piece of OCEANFRONT paradise at "Vacay Kai" on the Retreat Beach @Rum Point, one of the most picturesque beaches in Grand Cayman. This oversized beachfront penthouse condo features a large screened-in lanai directly overlooking the gorgeous white-sandy beach and aquamarine Caribbean Sea. Recent renovation throughout features an open-concept kitchen, living and dining room, designer bathroom with rain showerhead, new light fixtures, and complimentary wifi & TV for your evening streaming or computer pleasure.


Kick back "island style" in a luxurious setting as you leave behind the crowds, traffic and hustle & bustle of Seven Mile Beach. The Retreat is located at Rum Point in the heart of Cayman Kai, on the Northside of the island. There are only 23 units on 7 acres of beachfront property with 1300 feet of powder-sugar white sandy beach. The water is a shallow aquamarine-blue dream. The beach has private lounge chairs, lots of vegetation, shade trees (Palm & Casuarina), and wildlife, making it a nature lover's paradise. The waters are part of a nationally protected marine park so you will find lots of fish, coral and turtles to befriend during your daily snorkels. Because of its location (on a point), not only do you have a gentle breeze throughout the day to keep you comfortable, but you can view BOTH the sunrise on the north facing beach in the mornings AND the gorgeous sunset on the western facing beach in the evenings between Spring and Fall Equinoxes. How romantic is that?


“Vacay Kai” is a large upscale 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom condominium with more than 1,039sf of AC/heated living space. The spacious bedroom offers a king-sized bed and the living room offers a queen-sized sleeper sofa. The kitchen boasts recently renovated beach shaker white cabinets, sink, faucet and stardust quartzite countertops. It is fully equipped with a full-sized refrigerator with icemaker, microwave, stove, oven, dishwasher & disposal. Moreover, it is stocked with cookware, small appliances, dishes, plates, and silverware to cook your favorite gourmet meals. Enjoy the view of the Caribbean Sea as you prep your breakfasts and lunches. Better yet, enjoy your meal at the table on the screened lanai, then relax afterwards (or nap!) with your favorite book on one of the lounge chairs. This condo is ideally situated for a couple or small young family.


If you’d like to take it easy, a quick 2 minute walk next door will bring you to Rum Point Club where you can grab a bite to eat and a cool drink to sip while enjoying the day, especially the breathtaking sunsets. You can also easily catch an excursion (Stingray City, snorkeling boat trip, Coral Gardens and/or Barrier Reefs, romantic sunset sail, etc) right from the pier at Rum Point Club. If you’re a dive enthusiast, the famous North Shore/North Wall offers some of the finest dive sites in the world. There are several dive shops in the area with whom you can set up your dives. Even daily, if you’re seeking a dive vacation! A short drive away is Starfish Beach where starfishes are easily found and the Cayman Crystal Caves where you can explore a tropical forest and amazing underground caverns. In the evening, you may choose to join the kayak excursion on the bioluminescent bay across the street (meet-up for this excursion is at Rum Point Club parking lot), where the water glows with each paddle or movement. There are delightful restaurants as well as a small grocery store nearby (listed in your welcome package). Or, if you’d like to head to the shopping and fine dining at Camana Bay/7 Mile Beach area, a 20 minute ferry can be caught down a short drive down the street which will take you to Camana Bay!


For the more active guests, you can enjoy the Retreat’s private pool, gym, tennis court, and ample PRIVATE parking lot. Each building also offers a charcoal grill for your barbecuing pleasure. For a simple night in, there are DVDs, games and books for your enjoyment.


The Retreat and our condo have been inspected and approved by the Cayman Islands Department of Tourism. So rest assured that our amenities are up to the finest of standards. We’re happy to answer any questions you may have about our condominium or the island. So, please don't hesitate to ask. Come relax, leave the stress behind, and make your best memories with us at Vacay Kai! Let's make our pristine vacation home YOUR vacation home this year and for years to come!

Amazing Vacation Rental

Great place to spend your downtime on the island... I loved looking out at the beach from the screened in balcony. Has more than just the essential amenities (washer+dryer, beach supplies,kitchen utensils, etc.). Walking distance to Rum Point Beach with food and full bar. Would definitely stay again!

Perfect!

Vacay Kai was the perfect spot for us. After spending some time on the busier side of the island (7-mile beach), we wanted to enjoy the quieter side. The condo has a beautiful view of the sea & is right next to Rum Point (beach, bar, restaurant, boat excursions, etc). The condo was beautiful & clean & had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. Mary was a great hostess & very responsive to any questions we had. We can’t wait to come back again!!

Wonderful stay

We had a nice view of the water; the unit was the perfect size for us, with a large bedroom so that it felt very spacious. Plenty of towels. We made use of the snorkeling gear. We loved staying at Rum Point, it was so calm and so much to do. We ate at Rum Point Club our first night and it was very good. The owners were very responsive and excellent recommendations on things to do and where to eat. We’d stay here again!

Rum Point Retreat

We love this property! We stayed in this same area in 2020, and believe it to be the best area on the island. The Retreat is easy to get to, parking is a breeze, the view is fantastic. The one bedroom was perfect for us. Absolutely loved the ability to walk right out to the beach. Also a great assortment of snorkel gear was a super amenity. Thinking about making this an annual trip! Lisa

Anniversary Getaway

Nice, relaxing location, Great secluded beaches right there, plus great snorkeling .The ability to see clear views of the sunrise and sunset from the beach was amazing. Lots of information for restaurants and things to do was provided ahead of time by the host, which gives you enough time to check things out prior to getting there. It's an easy drive from the airport, especially considering switching to driving on the left side was a bit intimidating.

Great place. Great location.

My wife and I (60 years old) loved this third-floor condo and its location. It's about a 45-minute drive from the airport and Georgetown which we found to be over-crowded. This condo had a beautiful beach and blue waters. And there were 2-3 great restaurants nearby. If we make it to GC again, we'll stay at this condo. And communication with the owner was great. Thank you.

Thank you Mary! Your recommendations and quick response was so appreciated. Your island home is very special! Location! & North side is the place to be. Loved having Rum Point Beach and Red Sail sports. We could walk to snorkel, eat, catch a boat, swim & enjoy the beautiful surroundings of the Retreat. Quiet!!!! Relaxing and we felt like we had our own pool. We LOVED Tukka, Kaibo, Over the Edge and Solis for meals. Our highlight was the Bioluminescent Boat tour by Cayman Kayaks. DON’T miss a stingray trip it’s a once in a lifetime experience. The condo has everything we needed. Can’t wait to come back to Cayman Kai 🏝️🏝️🏝️ Will & Lisa Parker Colorado.

vacay kai at rum point

If you don't want the large crowds found on Seven Mile Beach this is the place. The unit was clean, had everything we needed except a pair of scissors (haha) but we managed. This is quiet location. You can rent jet skis next door from Red Sail. Beautiful sunsets from the pier. The snorkeling is ok under the pier. There is a turtle out by the pier and a stingray would swim by on occasion. The pool is nice. Whoever is in charge of the beach chairs need to put out a few more; 8 chairs was not enough for the number of people staying at the complex. You will need to rent a car. A negative for me was the 4:00 check-in; it would be nice if it was at least 3:30. It was about 3:30 when we got there; we walked around the complex and talked to one of the other occupants until 4:00.
