Cayman Castle & Guesthouse

East End
20 Guests
7 Bedrooms
7.5 Bathrooms

Cayman Castle and Guesthouse sits directly oceanfront on a private 2-acre gated estate and enjoys a wide white-sandy beach with fabulous snorkeling, kayaking, and sunbathing. Two private pools, multi-tiered oceanfront terraces, a panoramic veranda balcony, and a well-shaded pool deck provide guests plenty of room to spread out and enjoy island living. The views are breathtaking.

This grand estate is not only one of the largest rental villas on the entire island, but it also is a notable landmark.  Virtually anyone on the island will be familiar with the Castle in the East End.  While we are neighbors to the Wreck of The 10 Sails Park and the police constable's residence to the north, this property enjoys no residential neighbors to the north or south for 500 feet in either direction.  This is a gated and walled estate with a private beachfront. 

The owner takes immaculate care of the home, making upgrades each fall to keep the experience not only refreshing and pleasant for repeat guests, but for newcomers to Cayman as well.

20 guests maximum, of whom 16 may be adults 18 years or older.  Up to 2 infants, sleeping in cribs do not count against guest occupancy.

Beach Notes

Cayman Castle sits on a 2 acre gated estate in Gun Bay in East End; adjacent to 6 acres of government land that includes the Wreck of the 10 Sails park and the East End Constable's residence & office. 

2-3 lunch places are within walking distance and Tukka Restaurant is only a mile north. Two miles north are the 2 large resorts (Morritt's and The Reef) where they maintain manicured beaches, pools, restaurants, bars and watersports. Those resorts are great places to entertain older kids and for anyone to spend the day.

The beach at the Castle is white sand and is quite private. We have three thatched palapas, 4 kayaks and 6 lounge chaises on the beach. Most folks will spend the day sunning around the pool but we offer the beach option too. The water is more snorkeling than swimming here...it is a marine environment and we recommend pool shoes or fins. 

You can walk down our stairs on the point to sit down and put on your fins as well. We have a great snorkeling site straight out 200 yds from the castle marked with a white PVC pole. You may also tie up the kayaks to that pole as well.

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.

Excellent!

Exceeded expectations! Excellent location. Quiet east end of island. Snorkeling by the barrier reef was some of the best on the island. Several restaurants & bars within walking distance. House was perfect for our group of 18 spanning 3 generations. We loved the Cayman Castle!

Perfect Location

Great Spot - Cayman Castle + Guesthouse


         
Review by Kevin on 04/18/2022
5 out of 5
Great house for a large family. We had 17 with 9 grandkids. The pool was great for the kids and the location was private and relaxing with several good restaurants within a 10 minute drive. One of the best dive operations on the island is within 500 yards down the beach.

Property Exceeded our Highest Expectations


         
Review by Sean on 12/17/2019
5 out of 5
Property exceeded our high expectations. It was the perfect property for large extended family, as grandparents stayed in smaller unit. We liked being away from the busy side of the island and enjoyed being walking distance to many restaurants and the snorkel/dive shop. Manager was very responsive is our small requests. We hosted a chef one night and the house was perfect for that, especially that large outdoor deck for dinner. We would definitely stay there again
