Babylon Reef
Welcome to Babylon Reef, a freshly renovated oceanfront villa, complete with a sundeck and private pool, situated directly on one of the best shallow snorkeling sites on the entire island. Protected by a coral reef, there are rarely any currents or waves to contend with so children can play in the shallows all day.
The ocean views are stunning as soon as you walk through the front door. Natural light and scenic ocean views flood the entire living area through the sunroom's retractable glass doors which can be opened to allow a breeze to flow through on days when A/C is not necessary.
Cute Caribbean architecture and a modern open concept design lend a great "island feel" throughout.
A full modern kitchen complete with standard equipment and appliances overlooks the dining area with seating for 6. An outdoor dining table off the pool deck and under tall palm trees is also available.
Babylon Reef’s Sleeping Arrangements
(Sleeps 6 guests total)
- Master Suite: lower-level, king bed, ocean views, walk-out access to the sunroom, ensuite bath with shower.
- King Bedroom: upper-level, king bed, ocean views, shares hall bathroom with shower tub combo.
- Twin Bedroom: upper-level, two twin beds, ocean views, shares hall bathroom with shower tub combo. Twin beds can be converted to a king upon request.
Babylon Reef's private, well-landscaped lot includes a white picket fence, soft zoysia grass lawns, and a large sandy backyard around the pool. The owner provides a cornhole set on the beach complete with boards and bean bags plus kayaks for exploring, beach hammocks for relaxing, and an outdoor shower with hot and cold running water.
With an empty lot on each side, Babylon Reef is a quiet and private retreat. The beach here can be both sandy and pebbly depending on the time of year, however, we advise guests to bring pool shoes to avoid foot injuries.
Two large resorts with water sports, manicured sandy beaches, and oceanfront bars and restaurants are just a short 10-minute drive east.
*Note: A Cleaning Fee is included due to enhanced cleaning, sanitation, and inspection protocols.
**Silver Thatch tandem kayaks available for discounted rental. Signed waiver required.

Beach Notes
Babylon Reef has the best "backyard snorkeling" on the entire island. Just east of famous Connally's Cove, Babylon Reef has shallow snorkeling where no fins are really needed, but you should still wear pool shoes. The beach here can be sandy and pebbly, depending on the time of year and mother nature. The owner maintains a sandy beach inside the white picket fence above the shoreline for sun bathing, beach games and lounging in the hammock under the palm trees.
There are two large resorts 10 minutes east fo Babylon Reef, as well as restaurants, water sports, shopping, and a grocery store. Tukka Restaurant will even send their van for door-to-door service if you don't feeling like driving to dinner!
General Grand Cayman Beach Notes
All beaches in Grand Cayman are technically “public” since the Queen owns up to the high water mark and the shoreline quality behind your property may vary seasonally. Be advised that the beach or water entry behind your property may vary slightly from the images on our website because of the 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 weed 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.

The 10% Guest Service Fee includes your Silver Thatch Membership.
The Guest Service Fee is capped at 10 days for extended stays.

A special place
Manager Response:
Thank you for your 5 star review. Glad you had a nice stay.
Babylon reef has an empty lot on both sides. No homes.
All beaches on Grand Cayman are public up to the high water mark - same on Bermuda, BVI, Turks and any other British Territory. In reality the only people you will see on the beach are other local renters. That will happen on any beach on the island.
If you look at the pictures of Babylon Reef, you will notice nice privacy landscaping and fence, so even if there are people walking the beach, there is privacy at Babylon Reef. Of the 75 homes we manage, I can only think of two with an equal amount of privacy - and they are both 7 bedroom homes on cliffs where there is no beach for others to walk.
