Gypsy - Rum Point
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 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 and Big Green Egg smoker is available off the pool deck for island cookouts.
The backyard pool and patio sits perched above the beach providing privacy from any beach goers 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

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 jsut 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 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.

First Classout of 5Reviewed 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!out of 5Reviewed by Deborah on 10/13/2017 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! 1st Classout of 5Reviewed by Chuck on 07/23/2017 Absolutely gorgeous place to stay. 1st Class!
Gypsyout of 5Reviewed by Karen on 04/16/2017 Wonderful home located near Rum Point and Kaibo. The owner has thought of everything for your enjoyment. Very comfortable beds and plenty of room. Kitchen has everything you can think of. Thanks for a fantastic vacation. Manager Response:Thank you for your kind words. The owners take great pride in their home. Please come again soon! -Scott Beautiful well maintained homeout of 5Reviewed by Karen on 04/16/2017 Very clean and spacious. Comfortable beds plenty of bath and beach towels. Kitchen is well stocked. If you need anything the owners are prompt to respond. Thanks for sharing your beautiful home with us.
beautiful -- better than picturesout of 5Reviewed by M.G. on 02/11/2017 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 Beautiful!out of 5Reviewed by A.D. on 01/02/2017 Beautiful home, incredible location. And gracious hosts. The management company was also very responsive. Our families loved it and we will be back !
Stunning Homeout of 5Reviewed 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!
Villa Gypsyout of 5Reviewed by Kevin on 08/13/2016 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 againout of 5Reviewed by lynn on 06/29/2016 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.
