Beach Notes
The entire island is only 22 miles wide from west to east, so you are never too far from anywhere on Grand Cayman. The oceanfront homes in Rum Point offer great reef protected snorkeling. The beaches usually have plenty of white sand, but can also have spots of rocky “ironshore” with natural rock formations. The closer you get to Rum Point, usually the sandier the beach as well as swimming. Either way, with the abundant marine life we have in the water, you will want to wear pool shoes or fins for foot protection. The prevailing trade winds from the east make flying insects less of a nuisance—many of the homes in Rum Point don’t even need a screened porch.
The big draw to this area is the proximity to the Rum Point Club, a public beach club that offers a fantastic barefoot beach, many watersports, a restaurant bar and grill, a gift shop and pick-up beach volleyball games. Also nearby is the Kaibo Yacht Club restaurant, bar and marina
Lastly, we have 2 large resorts in the east end (Morritts 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. These two resorts also offer scuba, snorkel trips, jet skis, windsurfing, kiteboarding, ocean front pools and bar service.

Most Relaxing Vacation EVER!out of 5Reviewed by COYogini on 01/01/1970 A group of 8 of us just got back from a week at the Coral Kai. This is a beautiful house in a quiet area. The ocean view is INCREDIBLE. The house is lovely and well-maintained. There are 2 master suites, 2 queen rooms, and one room with 2 singles. All of the bedrooms are beautiful. The kitchen is well-stocked with dishes, bowls, tupperware, utensils, knives, etc. The patio provides much shade, which is nice.
This is a great property for those seeking a quiet, relaxing vacation. This is close to Rum Point (driving) where there are a few restaurants. Also close to the East End. If you are looking for more of the action of Seven Mile Beach, the drive is far. We went into Seven Mile one day and it was a blast, but it is pretty far if that is where you want to spend the majority of your time. It's a quick trip to Stingray City, which is a must. The locals are so friendly. All in all, our group had a wonderful time and we would highly recommend. Also, the management is super helpful for any requests.
Beautiful Home in a Gorgeous Locationout of 5Reviewed by Pam on 11/19/2017 Coral Kai was spectacular for its gracious and wonderful location and amenities. The home is equipped with all you need and many things you will just love! We had a fabulous vacation with our family and hope to return soon. This home is a true gem. Manager Response:Thank you for your kind review. Coral Kai is a beautiful home in a gorgeous location...just as you said! Please come back soon!
S- Great Placeout of 5Reviewed by Mary on 10/13/2017 Coral Kai is lovely. The layout worked really well for our group and the villa was clean and well taken care of. We absolutely would recommend!
Lovely time!out of 5Reviewed by Mary on 10/14/2017 After hurricane Irma devasted St.Martin, our group needed to find a place quick to vacation or cancel our yearly trip. Someone suggested Grand Cayman. We were lucky enough to find several villas that fit our needs, but decided on Coral Kai. The interactive floor plan was a really great tool in making this decision.
It was clean, comfortable, nice pool, all the equipment to cook some great meals! The layout is great. Several of our group likes to have some space protected from the sun. The outdoor space is perfect. They are still a part of pool fun, but not sitting in the sun.
We recommend this villa.
Wonderful property and quiet locationout of 5Reviewed by Carlo on 07/31/2017 Family of 4 enjoyed a relaxing stay at Coral Kai. Management was very helpful in resolving one issue that came up during our stay. We will return to this villa in the future.
Coral Kaiout of 5Reviewed by Reggie on 06/05/2017 Great one story Oceanfront Villa with a super floorplan.Very large bedrooms ,baths and closets.Very open kitchen and living area with high ceilings.Beautiful views overlooking the pool and the ocean.Very spacious lounging area outdoors.Easy beach access .Maids were great and Scott took great care of us.Kaibo Yacht Club,Over the Edge and The Light House restaurants were all excellent.Of course Rum Point is only one mile away and is a great place to unwind and spend the day.Would definitely recommend Coral Kai to any of my friends or family!!
The search for the perfect house ends hereout of 5Reviewed by maria1joe on 06/17/2017 We check out tomorrow and our crew of 8 is sad to leave. House is better than pictured. The beds are comfortable and the bedrooms spread apart for privacy. Outside you have the pool with a perfect view, the beautiful ocean with good snorkeling and the covered patio for rainy days. We could all still be outside when the weather was bad. There were 11 lounge chairs on the pool deck, 5 or 6 down by the water, patio tables and chairs and the awesome outdoor couch and chairs. We also liked that this property doesn't seem to gather sea weed the way others nearby do, so getting in the water is more pleasant. The kitchen is fairly well stocked and the extra fridge was nice for drinks. Beach towels and bath towels were in good condition and access to laundry was perfect. Rum Point is an easy jog on the road if you go early. Air conditioning works super well. We all felt this was one of the nicest places we've ever stayed and there is no need to keep looking at houses if we ever come back.
Coral Kai is an Excellent Vacation Villaout of 5Reviewed by E.V. on 12/03/2016 Excellent property, very well kept modern villa. If it wasn't for mosquitoes, this would be truly the paradise. We found two large reefs right out in the ocean to the right of the property with a lot of fish for snorkelers. Large shaded patio with a gas grill - allowed us to prepare and enjoy lunches and occasional dinners. All appliances, internet, and TVs are in operational order. Since we had couple of small children in our party, we paid for a heated pool and it was warm. We enjoyed the villa, patio, pool, ocean and the scenery tremendously. We went to the Rum Point to eat couple of times. Avoid Rum Point Club, its a tourist trap, but Kaibo Bar and Grill was fine, especially their pizzas. Stingray City is a must! Reservations must be made ahead of time. Highly recommend Grand Cayman Villas, reputable and customer oriented company. As far as property, Coral Kai is an excellent vacation villa. Manager Response:I sure wish we could control Mother Nature. Generally mosquitos are not a problem in December. I have not had that complaint before. Grand Cayman has the most proactive Mosquito Reasearch and Control board in the Caribbean and most of the world for that matter. www.mrcu.ky for more information. ZIKA control and eradication article: Cayman Islands release genetically modified mosquitoes to fight Zika
But so glad you had a nice tome at Coral Kai. Please come again!!! Best time ever with familyout of 5Reviewed by sparky091 on 02/06/2016 This place was as advertised maybe larger then pictured and we had a great time. 10 Adults and a couple of toddlers had lots of room to run and hang out. Outside patio and pool had plenty of chairs and lounges for all of us. The covered patio area was good for sunburns needing a little break from the sun. There were plenty of pool floaties, life jackets, goggles, snorkel gear and beach toys for adults and kids. Pool was warm and was serviced while we were there.
Plenty of beach towels and bath towels. Washer and dryer are great, only need a few sets of clothes and then wash and wear. We brought to many clothes, could have saved weight in suitcase.
Ocean was warm and only steps away. It is shallow, max depth is 4 feet, but still easy to snorkel around. Descent snorkeling around a few coral areas right in front of house. We rented an SUP board and had a lot of fun with that, because the reef offered protection from big waves. Great snorkeling at Rum Point only 5 min away.
Only had problem with bugs one night when there was no wind.
If you like the sound of waves you will love this place.

Excellent house in many respectsout of 5Reviewed by Steve on 05/04/2013 Right from the start, our experience was great with this house. The folks at Grand Cayman Villa Rentals are excellent at responding to enquiries, and overall are very professional and prompt.
They bought 2 life preservers as soon as we asked if they had any, and they bought a new gas grill because the old one had been taken away. Very good service.
The house is beautiful, and comfortably appointed. The layout is great for multiple people. We had a toddler and an infant along with two grandmothers and a brother, and everyone had their own space and rooms. There were plenty of towels. The bedrooms and bathrooms are a good size--we never felt cramped. The outdoor furniture is comfortable. It was wonderful to have the pool and the ocean right outside the house. The beach was fine for our toddler to play on, with no strong waves and enough sand to walk around and play. Water shoes helped.
Many reviews have said how great the snorkeling is right outside the house and I would say it was mediocre at best. I travel around the carribean snorkeling and I would rate this about a 2 or 3 out of 10 for snorkeling. I explored a large area of the reef in both directions from the house. Nearby, at Cayman Kai and Rum Point public Beaches, the snorkeling is much better, with some very healthy coral and fish life (maybe a 7 out of 10). In front of the house, there are fish in the water, but there is almost no healthy coral. I was very disappointed in the quality of the snorkeling right in front of the house, and that was one of the major reasons we chose this house.
We loved the location, being close to Rum Point with a few good restaurants nearby, and away from any crowds. We cooked almost every meal at home, which saved money and was very convenient with two little ones.
We dove on the east end (20 minutes away)and enjoyed it very much--excellent reef and fish.

Fabulous house!out of 5Reviewed by Lesa Calisch on 07/07/2012 I researched many properties before deciding on Coral Kai. The pictures of the lanai were what made my final decision. I can tell you that you will not be disappointed if you choose this house! The pictures do not do it justice. It has many upgrades not shown in the pictures. The kitchen was fabulous and even had a pro waffle maker like you find in the hotels. My kids loved eating waffles every morning. The house is huge and everyone had their own space. We were 3 adults and 3 children aged 14, 13 and 6. There is a coral reef directly in front of the house and they loved the snorkling. The pool is wonderful and relaxing and the outside lanai was our favorite place. The furniture is very nice and plenty of shade, and this side of the island gets a constant breeze that you don't find on the southside, so it was always pleasant even on very hot days. The house really lacks nothing. The kitchen is well stocked with pots, pans and dishes. There are plenty of towels and beach towels even for a large family. We hated to leave beautiful Coral Kai, but we will definitely return!

We cooked almost every meal at home, which saved money and was very convenient with two little ones. We dove on the east end (20 minutes away)and enjoyed it very much--excellent reef and fish. Over the top trip!out of 5Reviewed by Sue on 04/11/2013 We had an amazing, peaceful, relaxing, fun, beautiful stay at Coral Kai. It met our expectations and beyond! We loved the house, pool, and beach area. We want to go back!
