Welcome to Christmas Palms! This spectacular villa sits directly oceanfront in Old Man Bay on the north coast.
The villa's luxurious interiors are complemented by beautiful multi-windowed views, an oceanfront freshwater pool, and--of course--excellent snorkeling just steps off the pool deck. Many coral heads hosting schools of juvenile fish await you!
The open concept living and kitchen area is the real show stopper here. Stunning ocean views fill the living area where guests can relax on plush couches, or step out directly onto the pool deck to enjoy the Caribbean sun.
A large full kitchen comes equipped with modern appliances, dishware, cookware, and cutlery for vacationing chefs. Guests can also cookout on the villa's custom-built masonry charcoal grill. A screened porch off the kitchen provides the perfect setting for al fresco dining with beautiful ocean views.
Christmas Palms includes the sandier lot next door to the east that has a small beach area for private sunbathing.
Exceptional snorkeling can be found directly behind the villa, as well as another 500 yards to the east behind famous Connolly's Cove. Amazing scuba diving is nearby as well.

Beach Notes
With a central location on the island, the homes in Old Man Bay offer perhaps the best shore diving and snorkeling on all of Grand Cayman. The beaches are mostly sand, but can also be pebbly with natural rock formations. Either way, with the varied marine life we have in the water, you will want to wear pool shoes or fins for foot protection.
The beaches here offer great seashell collecting and turtle sightings in summer! Old Man Bay is only 5 minutes from 2 large resorts in the east end (Morritt's and The Reef) that offer manicured beaches as well as restaurants, a modern grocery store, liquor store, gift shops, a Subway sandwich shop, and a cafe/pastry shop. Cayman Crystal Caves is also located in Old Man Bay.
Heading west, Kurt's Korner is a local restaurant within walking distance, as is Over the Edge about one mile away. They serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner at reasonable prices.
About 15 minutes to the west of Old Man Bay is the famous Rum Point Club with water sports, restaurant and bar, a gift shop, and a barefoot beach with table service.
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.

Splendid Staycation
A group of 6 adults stayed at Christmas Palms and it was amazing! The house is lovely, very spacious with ocean views from all rooms and bedrooms. Each bedroom had its own private veranda which was a nice touch. The house was clean upon arrival and a maintenance request was attended to right away. We enjoyed the privacy, as there was no view of neighboring houses. The pool is the perfect size and stayed nice and cool. Bring your water shoes for getting in the ocean. We used the kayaks available and managed to see an eagle ray while kayaking! Thanks for sharing your home with us.
Love this side of the island
This was my family’s third trip to the island and the first time we did not stay on seven mile beach. So much to do, less touristy and the house was perfect for our family vacation. The property management was responsive with any issues we had and made for a relaxing time.
Loved the villa
The villa was everything we had hoped it would be. The pictures from the website dont do it justice. Easy access to local shopping, liquor stores and restaurants. Locals are all very friendly.
Great location, great view!
We stayed in July 2019, 4 adults. We enjoy the north side for the quiet. Pool is small (and not very deep) especially if you have more people and kids. The view from the pool is amazing! A/C unit is pre-programmed and set to 79 if you leave doors open or leave. All bdrms upstairs, so depending on your preference for sleeping, it would take a long time to cool back down. The downstairs bedroom does not have easy access to a full bath (all are upstairs). We did not use that bdrm so not an issue for us, but might be an issue for some as all full baths are ensuite so you are going into another bdrm to get to shower. Kitchen is nicely situated, but be aware the inside table is attached to the wall, seating only 4. All others would have to be outside on screened porch. Only one duplex home next door, and it is a bit close. Can't see between due to nice landscaping. Hammock is a joy. Beds are comfortable. Doors to outside can be a bit tricky to learn, but once you get the hang of it, no worries! Grill (charcoal) is very hard to use as it is not covered and the grates are not supported in the middle, so balancing your food is a challenge! Parking is very easy and tons of room for cars with a semi-circle drive. Really enjoyed Kaibo and Eagle Rays. We also enjoyed watching the lizard family that live at the base of one of the palms by the pool. We really love GC and hope to go back someday!
Kinnebrew - Christmas Palms Review
My family was quite please with the property and Juanita and the folks at Silver Thatch were awesome. Location was on point and we enjoyed 7 days of fun in the sun at this location. The only challenge we experienced with the property was getting the fridge to produce ice on a consistent bases. But that has since been replaced.
5 Star!
We loved Christmas palms!
Just as Advertised
The house was as advertised! The house is very clean, rooms are spacious, the bathrooms large, the pool was great, and the property was beautiful and the house was well supplies for inside and outside. We had 6 adults and 1 child and we had so much space. We had no issues with the air conditioning but you must check doors to be sure they are closed correctly. You will need a car for sure but you can grill and cook at the house as it is totally supplied with dishes, pans, etc. Markets are about 5 minutes in either direction with the bigger market to your left out of the driveway. We had great meals at Rum Point, Kaibo, Over The Edge (great breakfasts) and especially Tukka! Ask for Tido as your waiter at Tukka, he is amazing! Rum Point is where you want to head for the beach every day! It is about 10 minutes from the house. Beautiful beach, great drinks, great lunches. Snorkeling is excellent! We spent all day there for 5 days! Juanita was the house manager, she is the best! Spoke to her before we got there, she answered all our questions and did grocery shopping for us before we got there. She is sweet and gets back to you quickly! Totally recommend Christmas Palms, hopefully we will be back next year! Could say so much more, but you should rent it and see for yourself.
Wonderful Stay!
Property was just as advertised and worked perfectly for our 3 families. The house was very clean upon arrival and had all the amenities we needed. We particularly appreciated the kayaks, life vests and sand toys that had been stored in the outside closet.
Booking went very smoothly and being able to ask questions after the process was complete help alleviate the stress of not knowing what to expect.
We did not have any problems, although the pool had been cleaned and was not full on our arrival. We met the property manager a few days after arrival as she showed up to check on the house and to see if we had any questions. She and the other house related contractors were all very nice and very helpful.
We loved stingray city and the turtle sanctuary. We also enjoyed the beach and food at Rum Point but had to leave star fish point when too many boats arrived playing music too loudly.
All in all, we had a great time, the house was perfect, and we are looking forward to another trip to GC in the future. Thank you to all.
We loved Christmas Palms!
We had a wonderful family vacation at Christmas Palms! The view is fantastic and the house handled our family of six adults and three children beautifully. We enjoyed the pool and the small beach area. We really enjoyed our time looking at tidepools for the urchins and eels. The location was perfect for a quiet getaway, yet we had easy access to restaurants, grocery stores, and attractions. We\'d love to come back.
Beautiful Home Overall!
We loved the home & all the amenities. The kayaks & equipment on hand for swimming was really nice, gorgeous beach paradise & the snorkeling right behind the House was phenomenal! Kitchen was well equipped & home was nice overall. The only complaint we have was the HVAC constantly resetting to 79 degrees when doors were opened or you left. It made the house constantly hot & very uncomfortable the biggest part of our stay since it takes hours to cool back down. It was a constant battle & we felt like for spending $4500 a week we should at least be able to be comfortable during our stay. The upstairs unit quit completely our last 2 nights stay so it was very unpleasant sleeping or showering. If it wasn’t for the hvac I would rate this home 5 stars. It’s really a beautiful setting & otherwise a very comfortable home to stay in. We were a group of 8 & had plenty of room. Loved having 3 master suites! I do understand that electricity is expensive on the island but with this home being in the luxury accommodations price point guests should at least be able to be comfortable during the stay.
Wonderful Stay!!
Had a great week at this fantastic property. Very quiet and secluded. Great snorkeling just steps from the house. A 15 minute drive west to Rum Point and 10 minute drive east to Foster\'s IGA Express grocery - everything you need for shopping and entertainment is close by. We will definitely be back!!
Manager Response:
Thank you for your kind words. We would love to have you back!!!

Reservations
Everything as Expected
Property was as advertised. Very quiet and peaceful. Only complaint is pool lights are on a timer and don\'t come on until 9:30 pm well after dark.
Manager Response:
*** UPDATE ****
Timer for pool lights was reset today.
I will have the manager set the timer earlier. Wish you had reached out to the manager when you were on island. That could have been taken care of in short order...
Please come back soon.

Christmas Palms
This was an excellent property for a private vacation. House was well maintained and clean. The booking process was smooth. We did not need to contact the on-island property manager but did meet her. She was nice and professional. We enjoyed several restaurants on the east end including the Light House, Italian Kitchen and Kaibo Beach. The best restaurant was Calypso in Georgetown. We would recommend this property.
Amazing Home
Thank you so much for allowing us to rent your wonderful property. The weather was great, the home was great, the trip was fantastic! The description of the home really understates the comfort, size and luxury of this home. We have stayed on several islands in the Caribbean and none was nicer than Cayman or this home.
The management company was top notch professional and helpful throughout the process. They helped us arrange a trip to stingray city with Red Sail (A MUST!), rent kayaks (A MUST!), dinner recommendations and things to do. We even had Rosie cook at our home one night.
We will always remember our trip to Christmas Palms and hope we can come back another time.

Beautiful Home and Private Location
We spent a week at Christmas Palms with out family. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay there and on the northside of the island in particular.
The home is well appointed to suit the needs of our family of 7. The beach was nice and we snorkeled off the shore every day. We also went to the resort area of Morritts one day and Rum Point on two other occasions. Would recommend Rum Point to anyone with children ages 2 on up!
We are already planning our next trip th Cayman and hope we can stay here again as well!
Unforgettable Experience!
We will never forget Christmas Palms! We renewed our wedding vows on the beach after 24 years of marriage. What a beautiful, romantic, serene spot for our perfect day! We loved the pool, the beach and the hammock.
Beautiful home and a great week!
Great location and home!
Lovely house! Lovely location!
This is our third trip to Grand Cayman. We\'ve rented other houses in this area and Christmas Palms is by far our favorite. Definitely plan on coming back. Really hated to leave this paradise!
Family Christmas Vacation
Our family Christmas vacation here was fantastic. It was peaceful, private and quiet. The view is great. The house met all of our needs and the views from the bedrooms are gorgeous.
Exactly what we wanted and needed
Great Location! Wouldn\'t change a thing! Property was well managed and well represented.
Gorgeous week at Christmas Palms
We enjoyed the beautiful views! Rum Point was our favorite though. The weather was gorgeous the entire week and we found the locals to be very friendly. This was the first visit for a few of us in the group. A return trip is more than a \"maybe\" for us!
Planning a return trip!
Our stay at Christmas Palms was nothing short of brilliant. Whilst the beach did not provide the fun and sun (mother nature!) one might anticipate, the pool was refreshing. The view was simply spectacular.
The Lighthouse, Tukka and Over the Edge should definitely be restaurant choices.
Will we be back? Definitely yes!
Very Relaxing Stay!
Loved the infinity pool looking into the ocean. Also loved the sunset views! Fond some nice pool/beach items in the outdoor closet that were a real bonus. We enjoyed snorkeling off the beach and especially at Barefoot Beach and the public beach at Rum Point going in to Cayman Kai. We saw turtles snorkeling at Spott\'s Beach near Savannah.
We never grew tired of the view from the central part of the home - the living area and the master bedroom.
Tukka is a \"must do\" experience for dinner.
Amazing
Just got back from the best vacation we have had in a while. I can\'t say enough about this house. It was perfect for our family. There were 5 adults and a 7 year old and everyone was happy with their room and the pool was a big hit. The ocean was choppy and very rocky which made it very difficult to get in the water. We preferred going to star fish beach and out with White Sand water sports for Snorkeling and to Sting Ray City. They were great and take you out at 7 am before the cruise ships crowds show up.
We used cayman shoppers and our groceries were all there and put away. Eddie was the best. Just call him or email him with a list and he takes care of everything. The house was stocked with paper products and spices so I would wait to see what you need after you get there. There is a small Fosters store not more than a five minute car ride away. It has pretty much what you need. We did drive to a larger one in Savannah for meats and vegetables.
Having a washer and dryer was perfect.. Came home to no wash. Note that the bathroom down stair is really a half bath. No shower or tub. Our grandson used one of the ones up stairs to shower. There is a shower outside to rinse off after being in the ocean.
The air condition worked fine for us. You just have to keep the doors closed or it will kick into energy mode. There is an upstairs thermostat that can be turned down at night if you get hot.
I would highly recommend this house. We have vacationed at quite a few villas and I can say that this was our favorite. working with cayman villas made it easy. No hidden fees to deal with and they will answer any questions you may have.
I will go back

Wow
This place was just as the pictures show. My husband went to celebrate our 35th wedding anniversary with our sons (one with wife and our 11 years old granddaughter, the other\'s girlfriend) and we couldn\'t have picked a better place. My husband and sons even surprised me with a Vowal Renewal Ceremony and the backyard scenary was beautiful.

Located on the north side of the Island, it was very quiet and peaceful. Right on the beach, with great views and good snorkeling just steps from the patio door. The home is lovely with 3 master suites upstairs and a 4th bedroom downstairs. Kitchen is well stocked with the necessities (dishes, pots, utensils and sharp knives!). Plenty of bath and beach towels provided.

Awesome Vacation
We stayed at the Christmas Palms in July 2013. The house was as advertised. Perfect location if you want to stay away from seven mile beach but close enough to do day trips to the turtle farm, shopping, etc. Very close to Rum Point which my husband and I and 5 teenagers enjoyed. Snorkeling right out back was perfect as well. Bring water shoes as there is sharp coral when getting into the water. Amazing sunsets. The only issue was that it took a long time for the upstairs to cool down at night, other than that the house was great and we all enjoyed the pool. Would definitely come back again! 5 of 5 starsEase of booking 5 of 5 starsDirections to the property

"Fantastic"
This villa is in a beautiful spot on the island, very quiet on the north shore. The house is laid out perfectly for a vacationing family. We had the best snorkeling ever right off the back of the house, saw octopus, lobster, eel and lots of fish. The service was great and we no problems with anything in the house! Perfect vacation,

Great Crib in the Cayman Islands
We loved our stay at Christmas Palms. I am the owner of Tahoe Destination Vacation Rentals in South Lake Tahoe, California.I also own and rent a home In Costa Rica. So its very important for me to have a comfortable and clean home. This was all that plus some.
We were given excellent service with the property manager of this home and the Owner of this home. The rental process was easy and the communication of where things are and what to do was great! We had a small issue with the air, but was fixed quickly.
I love the idea of the auto shut down of the air-conditioning for the home. I know what its like to get a $1000 bill for air in a tropical island that charges 4 x the amount from what we pay in the states from Renters who have no idea the cost,or of what it takes to own a home in the tropics.
We loved the location because we are divers and dove with Ocean Frontiers which is less then 15 minutes away. Rum Point is close and really some of the best food/fish we have had traveling the world. Easy to get to 7 mile if you need the rat race of people, we did both, relaxed at the home, and then visited the other side of the island.
Thank you Jenny for a great home and allowing us to enjoy our vacation with our Friends.
We did bring our own meat into the country as we do in Costa Rica, it will save you a lot of money. Food is not cheap on the island. Look up the rules online.
Just a side note, Ocean waters brings sugar ants, They are everywhere in the world, they do spray for them but sometimes you just can\'t get rid of all of them.
Enjoy the views and the sunsets!
"An amazing vacation escape"
The house is as billed in the photos, plenty of room for us (3 adults and 3 kids) The pool (small) was a must with kids as the beach is very full of coral - which is fine as long as you brought water shoes, we were prepared! The first few days were windy, but we had many adventures around the island but couldn\'t really snorkel or kayak in front of our house because the waves. Last few days it let up and was awesome. (lots of places to go, you must rent a car) We made a lot of meals at the house and generally went out for lunch, occasional dinner with the kids, the kitchen was nice and well equipped. We felt very safe, which was nice. We loved the island, the people who rented us the house were fine, never saw them but didn\'t need to, everything worked well. You can fish right out front, my husband and son had a great time catching bonefish, and we saw thousands of other species of fish. We loved the house and would rent again. For us it was great, for someone who wants to be in the midst of it all, not the place for you. It didn\'t feel remote, just not overcrowded. The booking process was excellent, the people were really heads up.

Very relaxing and quiet
The house was excellent. The location is what I would call central. We\'re not big touristy people so Christmas Palms was perfect. We\'ve been to the Island before so we just enjoyed or accommodations. Shopped in town for all our needs and only left the house because we had to.

Luxury home on secluded Cayman Island coast
My wife, two teenage daughters and myself spent a week at Christmas Palms during the spring break of 2012. The house was designed perfectly for this secluded spot on the beach on the North side of the island so that there are fabulous views of the Carribean from every point in the house. The back veranda around the pool and beach is about as private as one could hope to find anywhere. The house can comfortably accommodate 10 people and was perhaps more than the four of us needed but we really enjoyed the extra space and the quiet times spent around the house reading, cooking and lounging about. The location is well off the beaten path and the traffic on the North Island road is next to nothing at all hours of the day; however, you are located only minutes away from the Lighthouse and Rum Point, two of the islands best restaurants. There are vacant wooded lots on both sides of the house that provide a secure sense of comforting isolation. The kitchen is well equipped for cooking your own meals and the screened-in area by the pool is great for serving meals. We found snorkling on the beach to be a challenge as the reef at this particular location is a bit of a swim and the surf is high near the shore. This is really a fantastic place and we hope to return one day.

Christmas Palms - a Cayman Paradise!!
This rental property is absolutely fabulous. It\'s beautifully decorated, very spacious and has all the needed amenities. It\'s located directly on the beach - only steps away from a memorable snorkeling experience. It\'s an approximate 30 minute drive from the airport to its location on the North side. There are plenty of restaurants within a 5-10 mile radius - all of which provided us with a wonderful dining experience. If you\'re looking for a little seclusion and/or to getaway from the hustle and bustle of Georgetown this is the perfect location!!!

Peaceful Paradise
Christmas Palms and the owner were perfect. Everythign was in order when we arrived. Very clean and equipted. The location was in a perfect part of the island where we got the best weather. Gentle breezes every afternoon as it got hotter in other parts of the island, we stayed very comfortable. Close enough to the action but remote enough to feel private. It was one of our best vacations ever.

Amazing, Beautiful and Private!
If you don\'t want to stay in a busy condo on a noisy road on seven mile beach (not to mention share the pool with hundreds of other people... eww), stay on the northside! Christmas palms is so beautiful and quiet. Three couples can share this house easily. the property is easy to find and close enough to rum point and east end on the other side (both about 20 min drives) and seven mile beach is not as far as it looks... we never minded the drive. you can\'t see your neighbors (unless you start walking down the beach far enough, obviously) the beach is full of coral but if you get out on the sea kayak you can get to mediocre snorkeling. take a trip out snorkeling on the east end with a boat, it\'s worth it!! the pool is great- doesn\'t have any harsh chemicals in it. warning- no modern grill! the grill is actually a small fire-pit with grate. we made it work just make sure you buy some charcoal. the pictures of this house are very accurate- we\'d stay here again!

Bliss
Spent 3 months on an extended vacation at Christmas Palms in Grand Cayman. Amazing location, the best view, comfiest beds and a very well appointed house made this a great stay. Waking up to the sound of the Caribbean sea is just a joy. Having the Over the Edge restaurant so close serving breakfast, lunch and dinner was so convenient too. The owner of the villa is a wonderful and literally couldn\'t have been more helpful during our stay. The snorkelling off the back of the property was great and we managed to get out to the drop off a few times to see manta ray, parrot fish - all sorts. Kitchen well appointed, out door dining room was a real plus as well - highly, highly recommend.

Lovely Home on a beautiful island!
This is a lovely house. There is a small pool out back with fun pool toys. The kitchen is well-equipped and there\'s a large tv in the living area. You\'ll definitely need beach shoes for anyone going into the ocean as there are many sea urchins in the ocean behind the house. All the rooms have great views which is very unusual. The home is in a well-secure location and we felt safe taking walks, biking, and riding around. There are many good restaurants on the North Side and you are very close to the stingray sandbar which is a must visit for all in your party. The home is about a 30-40 mile drive to 7 Mile Beach and in a laid back area. You will really love this house!

Beautiful home
The house was beautiful. Six adults and one child had plenty of room in the house. Really enjoyed the fact that there were three king suites, so no fighting over who got the \"good\" room! Only complaint would be some minor maintenance items. There were a large number of burned out light bulbs - we ended up buying some at the store and replacing them ourselves. The back door latch was also broken for the entire week we were there. Those minor items didn\'t detract from the great views and the roomy house. Especially enjoyed that the house was on the north side. Very secluded, and absolutely beautiful sunrises & sunsets!
Lived up to expectations
Fantastic setting and the villa looked just like the photos. Very quiet even though close to road. Needed water shoes to get to and from the sea. Wonderfully relaxing stay

Great family vacation
We had a wonderful stay at Christmas Palms. Even the teenagers loved it! We found all the information sent to us very helpful and it really allowed us to plan some great activities and made our vacation so much better. Having all the links provided us with an opportunity to maximize our trip by knowing a lot of information before we even landed. For example, we arrived on a Sunday and all the grocery stores were closed but knowing this in advance means we ordered groceries on line and they were stocked in the fridge on our arrival. Details like that make for a much more relaxing vacation (especially for the Mums!) The home was spotless on arrival and the location was amazing. It was a quiet enough street that the kids could go exploring by themselves, but just a few minutes to Rum Point and some great snorkeling and water activities. We enjoyed the quiet location and beach only a few steps away. This was our first trip to Caymans and we were so impressed by everything - the amazing people, beautiful landscape and the wonderful and always accessible beach. We have already booked for next year.

Fabulous pool and sunset views of the ocean.
Loved the infinity pool just a few yards from the ocean - it\'s small, but very relaxing. Never grew tired of the view from the central part of the house - every time I walked into the living room area or the master bedroom, it took my breath away. Gorgeous sunsets that differed every night. Snorkeling right behind the house was nice, but tide-dependent - if it\'s low tide, it\'s easy to scrape against the coral. We enjoyed the snorkeling at the adjacent Queen\'s Monument area, at Barefoot Beach (few miles to the east) and along the north side of Rum Point more than right behind the house. Didn\'t end up using the kayaks at the house for the same reason - we\'re novice kayakers and I didn\'t trust my ability to stay out of the rocky areas near shore without damaging the kayaks. Construction didn\'t really bother us for 9 of the 10 days we were there; they didn\'t work on Sundays, and they were noisy only 1 day. Lots of pool toys (floats, noodles) and beach gear (pails, umbrellas, citronella torches) available in the outdoor closet. House is fairly well stocked with kitchen equipment and elsewhere, but it definitely has the feel of a house that has always been rented, never lived in. Beds were VERY comfortable - we all slept very well. Only the master bedroom has direct ocean views - the other bedrooms have porches and more distant views of the sea. Bathrooms were large; showers nice. Wished the master bath had 2 sinks, and all the bathrooms could use more towel hooks. We like this side of the island, having stayed in the East End on a prior trip, so we were happy to enjoy our favorite spots like Tukka and Eagle Ray\'s again. I\'ve rented about a dozen houses in various places over the years, usually through VRBO, and I\'d have to say that Grand Cayman Villas and Condos is the best rental agent I\'ve ever dealt with - rapid and informative communication and extra perks like the Silver Thatch discount card.
