Welcome to Gypsy! This beautiful oceanfront villa has been professionally decorated and includes a private pool with elevated views and close proximity to the famous Rum Point Club.

Decorated in an elegant Caribbean theme of beach cremes and soft hues, Gypsy is a luxurious island getaway. From the moment you enter this home's foyer, your eyes are drawn past the beautifully tiled floors and out through the tall glass doors to the pool area and the Caribbean Sea in the background. We do not ever get a second chance at a first impression—and Gypsy won't disappoint!

Spanning over 4,000 sq ft of living space, with another 3,000 sq ft of outdoor space, Gypsy can accommodate 10 guests across 4 bedroom suites.

The oceanfront master suite comes furnished with a four-poster king bed with walk-in closet and private ensuite bath with double vanity, large tub, and separate walk-in shower. The southwest master suite features vaulted ceilings with a king sleigh bed and ensuite bath with stand-alone shower. One room over is the queen suite with ensuite bath, single vanity, and combination tub and shower. The southeast guest bedroom also features vaulted ceilings and comes furnished with two queen beds and a shared bathroom with double vanity and walk-in shower. 

Views from Gypsy's living areas are quite simply astounding. High ceilings, airy interiors, and tall French doors flood Gypsy’s interiors with sunlight all year round. Comfortable sofas and elegant sectionals provide ample seating for guests to relax while taking in the views from the living room or family room. The grand piano in the family room can be unlocked should you wish to play while on vacation. Alternatively, we can cover the piano if you do not plan on using it, or are concerned about potential damages to it.

Gypsy's gourmet kitchen comes equipped with modern appliances including a double-oven, built-in subzero refrigerator, Keurig coffeemaker, lots of counter space and a dining table with seating for 10.  A propane grill is available off the pool deck for island cookouts.

The backyard pool and patio sit perched above the beach providing privacy from any beachgoers walking by—a rarity in this residential area. Stairs off the pool deck lead down to a deep sandy beach perfect for sunbathing.  Guests are free to use the folding beach chairs stored in the pool shed. Large hedges and grassy lawns separate neighboring lots and provide privacy during your stay. 

Finally, Gypsy's homeowner has a 42' yacht certified luxury Formula boat that he offers at a special discount exclusively to villa guests. Guests save 10% on a half-day captained charter with a maximum of 10 guests.  For more details, please visit ChartersoftheSea.com

The owner does not permit pets, smoking, or events with invited guests on the property.

Optional pool heat is available during the winter at $250 per week.

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 also make flying insects less of a nuisance—many of the homes in Rum Point don’t even need a screened porch.

Gypsy has a very sandy water entrance for swimming, however, guests will want to wear foot protection to be safe. We do get tidal seagrasses on the beach. While the owner pays a landscaper to rake the beach monthly, we have a weekly service that will rake a clear path into the water for snorkeling, kayaking and swimming. 

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 water sports, 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 two 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. These two resorts also offer scuba, snorkel trips, jet skis, windsurfing, kiteboarding, ocean front pools and bar 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.

 

The 10% Guest Service Fee includes your Silver Thatch Membership. 

The service fee is capped at seven days for extended stays.

Family Trip

         
Review by Kim on 06/10/2019
5 out of 5
We stayed at the Gypsy for a week with 6 adults and 4 teens. House was great and boys loved the water and the pool. Kitchen was stocked with lots of dishes and other kitchen necessities. Nice and quiet on that side of the island but close to Rum Point and Kaibo.

Has It ALL

This house has it all! A sandy beach with good snorkeling within swimming distance, a wonderful pool to enjoy, luxury accommodations with comfortable, well appointed rooms, plenty of towels to go around and the best kitchen we have every had with plenty of everything, including coffee maker, Keurig, and a great blender. Not to mention the piano, a wonderful touch for the musician of the family and a couch to fit everyone. Don\'t miss out on this one, and we speak from experience as this is the 5th house we have rented in the Rum Point area.

Our Own Little Piece of Paradise

         
Review by Michael Martin on 04/16/2019

This lovely 4 bedroom, 4 bath home fit our family of 9\'s needs perfectly! We had an amazing vacation on the North Shore soaking up the sun, playing for endless hours in the pool and cooking meals when needed (ample kitchen and supplies. We cooked Easter dinner there perfectly. Gypsy is a hop-skip-and-a-jump from the famous Rum Point and Kaibo Yacht Club Beach area where we dined (best drink and meals ever. Chose the 6 course... it\'s SO worth it). Gypsy was a quiet area with ample play room for a family on the shore side. We played beach side, swam in both pool and ocean and enjoyed the life in the reef right in our own yard! They had games and DVD\'s there too for a cool break mid-day indoors! There were a few pool toys and beach chairs stored in the shed and we took ful advantage and left a few ourselves. The beds were ample, linens lovely and comfort was appreciated. A few more beach towels and labeled fragrance free quality clothes detergent along with fabric softener would be appreciated) We missed the info they had stored by the cookbooks explaining all Gypsy had to offer. Wish it had been out when we first arrived as their hints for an amazing time were read and used. Our wifi was not working and coming from the states, most of us had our phones turned off cellular to use wifi.. small snafu. They fixed by end of second day. It does show some wear and tear especially the floors, but adored the big swiveling comfortable chairs looking out to sea and the truly large family sized divan. Kitchen chairs could use something to make them less noisy. Tall ceilings lend to big echos and we had a 14 month with us. Pool cleaners came on Easter Sunday which we found odd and a bit intrusive on Easter Sunday afternoon?? All, in all though, Gypsy stole our hearts and I surely hope we can return to the restful, quiet North side to bask in the sun and ocean breezes and relax . Thank you to Dave and Sue for sharing your home-away-from-home with our family!

Family Getaway

         
Review by Bob on 03/29/2019

The property is very nice, great beach, pool, nicely appointed house. Some minor interior problems: broken curtain rod, towel bar, loose trim, whirlpool in master did not work, security system broken. For the price, the kayak should have been included instead of a separate charge. All in all, highly recommended.
Manager Response:

Thank you for your review.

Maintenance items have been promptly taken care of.

The bathtub in the master is advertised as a soaker tub, not whirlpool. 

 

Please come again, Scott

First Class

         
Review by Ray W. on 12/02/2017

We recently spent a week at the Gypsy villa and found everything to be first class, including the bedding, sheets, towels, kitchen supplies, dishes, etc. The owner has spent a lot of time making sure everything is there that might be needed and again it is all first class. The home is also beautifully decorated. If you get a chance be sure to rent the owner\'s boat with captain Ryan, because it was the best way to see Stingray City, snorkel and hit starfish beach. If you rent this home, you will not be disappointed in its quality.

Amazing vacation!!! Awesome quiet location, very clean - highly recommend a stay here!

This property is amazing. Very clean, great quiet location near Rum Point. We did a family trip with 9 of us and there was plenty of room for everyone. I am a clean freak and this by far exceeded any place we have ever stayed. We visited the other side of the island near Seven Mile Beach, but prefer the peace and tranquility of this side. We made some unforgettable memories and every one of us would go back and would definitely stay at Gypsy. Just amazing. Can\'t say enough about it.
Manager Response:

Thank you for your kind words. Gypsy is one of the finest interior homes on island. The owners take pride in their home and it shows! Renting Gypsy is a treat for us at Grand Cayman Villas! Please come again soon!

I rented Gypsy to celebrate the life of my husband who passed in April. 4 of our 5 daughters, a couple of husbands and grandkids were able to join. We are spread all over the country so it was a perfect place for us to all get together. The house is so roomy that we never felt crowded or on top of each other. We loved the fact that we could snorkel right off the beach and rarely saw another person when at the house. Gypsy is beautifully appointed! We spent one night in a condo on Seven Mile Beach and, although we had a great time, we all said that we were so happy that we spent our vacation at Gypsy. Cayman Villas is a very professional company and I highly recommend working with them for your Cayman vacation.
Manager Response:

Thank you for your kind words. We are so glad you were able to celebrate with your family.Memories are precious!  -Scott

Stunning Home

         
Review by Jack on 06/18/2016

We picked Gypsy for our stay for this our first trip to Grand Cayman. Safe to say this will not be our last time and I hope we are able to stay at Gypsy again. The location of the home is fantastic with a pretty, sandy beach. The kids could play in the water or put pool shoes on and swim around as there were no waves. They snorkeled for their first time and enjoyed seeing many fish and even a small sea turtle on day! The home was simply beautiful inside, even better than the pictures - had a big feel to it with high ceilings. The furniture looked brand new and well taken care of. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed to cook meals - although we did go out to dinner a few times - loved Kaibo, Rum Point and Tukka for dinners! We also went to Rum Point a few days for the barefoot beach area where the kids played endlessly. We took the Red Sail boat out to stingray city where we swam with stingrays. This was the highlight of our vacation and highly recommend taking the boat out there. Nothing like it in the world!!! Loved our time. Wish it had been longer. We will be back!

Booking process was excellent. Jim and Scott were very knowledgeable about what to do and where to eat on the island. I especially liked the \"Silver Thatch\" card that was provided. I expect it saved me over $400.00 in on island food and adventures. I needed to contact the on sight manager twice during our stay and she was both friendly and informative. The villa was one of the best equipped rentals we have ever stayed in. The air conditioning works although we were judicious in its use.

would stay again

It was a last minute trip. We looked for lodging on or near 7 mile beach but most 4 bedroom/4bath villas were reserved. Had never been to Grand Cayman before but have friends that have a brother that lives there, they recommended the 7 mile beach area. We just lucked out finding such a spacious, well furnished, clean villa. Everything we needed was there, we were not short of towels, silverware, or anything else, it was just like home. The location on Rum Point is much less congested, and with the private and comfortable pool area we had a great vacation at the Gypsy. Glad we ended up at Rum Point, it is still a short drive to several restaurants.
