“Cayman Relaxed” What a great place. Away from the congestion of seven mile beach. Two good restaurants, beach and a grocery store within walking distance. We made good use of the two outdoor hammocks. Nicely appointed kitchen although we just used it for breakfast every day. Six minutes from the governor's beach. 20 minutes from Georgetown. We plan on coming back.

“Excellent 1BR on SMB” My wife and I just spent six night in this great one bedroom condo on SMB. It was our first stay in the Caymans. The unit was exactly as advertised. Ample towels were provided, including beach towels. The unit has a full kitchen, with every appliance that you could ever want. The screened in patio, which was great for dinners, also has a nice electronic grill that I used to cook a beautiful red snapper that I purchased from a local fisherman in downtown George Town. The bed was comfortable, the bathroom large, the hot water VERY hot and plentiful, and the AC worked very well. The unit is reasonably stylish, with several nice finishes throughout. The condo building has a mix of vacationers and residents. The pool isn't huge, but more than adequate if you want to take a quick dip. There is a tennis court in very good condition in front of the building. The private beach has several recliners and umbrellas. We never had to fight anyone for use of these, but that may be different during peak travel times. The location of the unit was IDEAL. The resort is on the beach, which is obviously a big plus. Additionally, there are TONS of great food options within a quick 5 minute walking radius. To quickly name a few, Chicken Chicken, Al La Kebab, and several restaurants at Camana Bay were all excellent. We rented a car, which we found useful to get to the grocery store several times. In hindsight, could we have done this by taking cabs or buses? Yes. But we liked the flexibility. The owners provided us with ample suggestions and guides to help make our first stay on island more pleasant. Marc was very responsive to emails and was on top of everything. All in all, the unit worked out great. We didn't spend a whole lot of time there, as we were out every day diving. But the time that we did spend there was very pleasant. We would certainly consider renting this unit again.

“Stunning Beachcomber Condo 17 with a stunning view of stunning Seven Mile Beach!” My family and I have travelled to Cayman during March break in the past because we could always count on the amazing weather. This year however, we chose to stay at The Beachcomber Unit 17 instead of a hotel. We were delighted in the upscale environment of condo 17 with its beautiful extended balcony, and we loved the wall of windows enabling us to view the gorgeous water wherever we looked. The view is spectacular, and because it is an end unit, very private too. This unit's third floor balcony is the best in the entire building. It's over sized outdoor area is awesome, and having the option to sit in an optional screened in area is also nice, but with this view, we always remained outside. The decor is fresh, and the building is very well maintained and current. It is spacious with three comfortable bedrooms and three clean ensuites as well. Having laundry within this unit was also a bonus, plus daily cleaning service too makes it even better. It is also an easy trip from the airport and also within walking distance to the grocery store, malls, excellent restaurants and even theatre. We have already booked for next year. We travel a lot, and this condo and luxuries it provides will ensure our return. You will not be disappointed and I would recommend Unit 17 to all of our family members and friends.

“Perfection on Rum Point” This was our second trip to The Retreat. This time, we were without kids, so we only needed a one-bedroom and Rum & Kai is the perfect choice. The unit is very spacious, and immaculately clean. It's perfect for two or a small family. We had everything we needed and then some. We especially enjoyed the massive movie hard drive! The reservation process was seamless as was communication. The Retreat complex is the island's best kept secret--perfect location, great beach, quiet, wonderful snorkeling, great amenities--the list goes on and on. We will definitely return! Thank you for a great stay.

“Can't wait to go back!” Great location on Seven Mile Beach. Condo has two large bedrooms and full kitchen and flat screen TVs in living room and each bedroom and Wi-Fi. We used the grill many nights, just outside the door. Located between the Westin and Ritz it is close to Foster's Grocery and CostUless and many great restaurants within walking distance. The beach is fantastic with plenty of chairs and umbrellas. The owner has been great to work with, I joke that I am worried about him if I haven't heard from him within an hour or less after I contact him. We will be back next winter. Great place, great location!

“What We Were Hoping It Would Be” No, really, we were hoping there would be oregano -- there was. We were hoping the knives would be sharp and that the dishwasher really washed dishes -- yup. We were hoping you really could snorkel out the back door and see fish you've only seen on TV and in aquariums -- absolutely. What we couldn't have hoped: that the cable would be wonky, I'd send an email, and ten minutes later the owner would call me personally to walk me through fixing it. That on a day too windy to go in the water, there would be so many things to do on the island (turtles, hikes, eating and eating and eating) that we wouldn't even care. Hopes exceeded. Such a great place to stay. Such a great owner. Clearly this is not a money-making investment. This is their second home that they let a few other lucky people use. I hope they rent this property as much as they can but always save some time for us.

“Loved it” We loved the Rum Point area. The condo was clean. Pool area was clean. We enjoyed the area enough for us to do. When we wanted to do more drove 45 minutes to Seven Mile Beach. Just a great location

“Great Condo to Rent” We would agree with all of the positive reviews for this condo. We stayed a week in early January. The condo is very comfortable; it is actually even nicer than the pictures. This condo is extremely clean and well maintained. The beds are very comfortable; there are plenty of beach towels, bath towels and linens. There is a TV ( gets all kinds of channels) stereo, Ipod docking; DVD player- more than you need. The artwork in the condo is very nice. The screened in lanai is great for meals and to just watch the ocean. The pool is clean. The complex is small and is kept immaculate by the management company. It was windy the week we were there so we were not able to swim/snorkel out front. Loved having the beach chairs,mats,bags and cooler to use. Bob replyed to all of my emails thoroughly and quickly. There is detailed information Bob emails to you and there are 2 notebooks of information at the condo. It is very quiet and peaceful. The drive is approx 40 minutes from the airport. Bob recommended Marshall's car rental and we found them to be great. This was our first trip to Grand Cayman. We would without a doubt recommend this condo.

“Rum Point + The Retreat #31 = Wonderful Family Vacation” This was our first visit to the Cayman Islands and against some advice to stay on Seven Mile Beach (because we have 3 active sons ages 11-16) we decided to stay on the quieter side at Rum Point. We were all thrilled with that decision! The pictures online of the Retreat sold me--I wanted to be right on the point and walk right onto the beach--which is exactly how it was. Karen was great to work with and provided excellent information and suggestions prior to arriving. The condo itself was wonderfully clean and stocked with everything we needed and more. The third bed, made and ready for one of our boys in the second bedroom was a very nice extra touch. Having the restaurant, the wreck beach bar and red sail sports right next door was awesome and we used all of it daily. I just can't say enough about the wonderful location of the Retreat. None of use wanted to leave the point because it had everything we needed included awesome snorkeling, our own stingray and sea turtle encounters, bioluminescence in the bay, starfish beach and fun beach bbq's. Wonderful, wonderful place to stay.

“Excellent Long Term Stay” Unit 50 was very suitable for my wife and me for a four week visit. We thought the overall experience was excellent and it provided excellent value for our money. We would definitely recommend Unit 50 and we plan to return. Don't expect luxury, but do expect comfort, convenience and a relaxing place to stay. The owner, Marc, is very well organized, responsive, a good communicator and a pleasure to deal with. There were no surprises. Marc's information packages were clear with all the information we needed for our stay in the condo plus he provided helpful information about the island. The resort is clean and well maintained with a good pool, on a non-crowded section of the beach with plenty of beach chairs for all. The resort staff were very helpful. The resort is very well located on Seven Mile beach within easy walking distance to restaurants, grocery stores and Camana Bay shopping. If loaded down with groceries, we took a taxi back. We did not need a car, although we rented one for a couple of days to explore the island farther afield, which I would recommend. If you dive, the resort is an easy walk along the beach to the Red Sail Sports locations at the Grand Cayman Beach Suites (GCBS) or the Marriott. If you own and don't rent, you can store your gear in lockers at GCBS so there is no need to lug it back and forth. The apartment is spacious and is comfortably furnished. We cooked and ate four to five dinners/lunches per week in the condo and ate at restaurants the other times. The electric barbeque works well but takes longer to heat up and to cook than a gas one, so we had to learn to plan accordingly. We took advantage of the option to have the apartment cleaned half-way through our stay. Our unit was at the back of the property overlooking the pool with a view of the sea in the distance. It was generally quiet, although there is construction on the adjacent property to the south and we could hear the backhoe from the pool area. Sometimes the Royal Palms Beach Club, three units north, plays music loudly when the cruise ship passengers are in or there is a special event. This is a benefit or a curse depending on your point of view. In summary, we found Unit 50 to be a good place to stay and we recommend it to others.

“Fantastic Condo on a fantastic beach” This condo was more than we could have hoped for. Modern, new, clean and extremely well stocked with kitchen ware, towels and bed linens. Two screened in patios with a view of the sunset. A very clean pool just off the main balcony. Washer, dryer and dishwasher made this unit a very family friendly unit. My kids said that they thought the condo was better than home ! We plan on returning to grand cayman and when we do our first choice for lodging will be Cayman Reef Resort unit 56. Lastly, I can't imagine a more attentive landlord than Marc. His attention to detail and the comprehensive packets of information regarding the condo and Cayman in general wee invaluable. I felt like he was our personal concierge. He gave us advice on private tours, excursions and dining. We recommend this condo and Marc with 5 Stars.

“Cayman Relaxed” What a great place. Away from the congestion of seven mile beach. Two good restaurants, beach and a grocery store within walking distance. We made good use of the two outdoor hammocks. Nicely appointed kitchen although we just used it for breakfast every day. Six minutes from the governor's beach. 20 minutes from Georgetown. We plan on coming back.

“The perfect location...Coffee in the morning on the porch with the ocean.” We just returned from a 10 night stay in Unit 11. This condo complex is away from the crowds of the big hotels but still has the perfect private stretch of 12 mile beach. Jim and Gail who own Unit 11 were the perfect hosts....welcoming us to their condo with an information booklet, brochures, and a cruise ship schedule so we could avoid Georgetown and tours when there were a lot of ships in port. They sent us an email before we went, and made us feel like family. The unit itself was decorated in bright colors in the beach theme. We admired the many pieces of art throughout the condo showing all the wonderful places in Grand Cayman The wifi reception was perfect as was the TV reception on both TVs. We enjoyed the fully stocked kitchen and the washer and dryer were a big plus. We loved starting the day with our coffee and breakfast on the screened in porch watching the lovely water and hearing the waves. The complex was quiet, but all the staff were friendly. We were afraid to drive on the left initially, but after a couple of days relaxed and went to the many amazing restaurants that Grand Cayman has to offer. There are some amazing chefs on this lovely island. The grocery store was just down the road and we loved having the option to cook or go out to eat. On Super Bowl Sunday, we stayed "home" grilled steaks on the communal grill, cranked up the blender and had our own little party in our wonderful temporary home away from home while we watched the sun set over the ocean and listened to the waves. We could always find beach chairs with umbrellas, and enjoyed snorkeling in "our backyard". The beach was well maintained with soft sand. We went on a fishing trip and to Captain Marvin's Stingray city. The unit was clean and cheerful and we had daily maid service with clean towels and a washed floor. Discovery Point Unit 11 was the perfect place to get away from our dreary Oregon weather. Our vacation ended way too soon and we hope we have the opportunity to return someday. Take the opportunity to rent this comfortable condo which is in the perfect location and has the support of such friendly owners.

“Villas Pappagallo - a real treasure!” My boyfriend and I stayed at Villas Pappagallo in April 2015 for 9 days. What a delight! After booking the apartment, we were supplied with more information by the owner that helped us prepare and plan for our vacation. Sandy greeted us upon arrival. She was happy to answer any questions we had and left us to settle in and explore. At first glance, we were pleasantly surprised by the accuracy of the photos. I have ended up in rental units that often times look spacious and clean from the photos and unfortunately were not. This was NOT the case with this unit. It was large, clean, and well-decorated. The beds were big, comfortable and fresh. The towels were clean and plentiful. The kitchen was better equipped than our own. We immediately felt at home in our “temporary home”! The unit was a treat, but the property at Villas Pappagallo was the real treasure. We were looking to relax and decompress – VP was just the place! We found ourselves fall into a routine early on. Waking up early to the sun peaking through the bedroom windows, breakfast on the balcony, trips down to the pool, and long walks down the beach. Some of the best snorkelling on the island is directly off the VP jetty – we saw plenty of fun sea creatures. In the evenings, we found ourselves back on the balcony with a drink in hand. It was a level of relaxation we had never experienced! When we did decide to travel outside of the property, we were pleased to see that this wasn’t a cliché Caribbean Island. The locals are genuine and you won’t be harrassed while walking down the beach. We took trips to the Turtle Farm and Cracked Conch, Seven Mile Beach, Cemetery Beach and the East End. We felt comfortable everywhere we went and the island was easy to navigate by car. A must do is Stingray City. What majestic creatures! While we ate many meals at home, we did venture out to a couple meals during our stay. We ate Chicken Chicken for take-out, and dined out at Ristorante Pappagallo, Calypso Grill and Cimboco. All fantastic meals! The restaurants on the island provide something for everyone. Overall our experience was unforgettable! Lee has put a lot of thought, effort and care into making this place a home. She was responsive and her advice was extremely valuable. We hope that we have a chance to return to Villas Pappagallo in the near future and we will definitely recommend to all friends and family! Thank you Lee!

“Wonderful Stay, Beautiful Condo and Grounds, Easy to Work With” Condo is beautiful and exactly as described in the listing and in all communications with Marc. Very close to beach and water. Even closer than looks in pictures. Literally few steps out the door. Also close walk to great restaurants, stores and Camana Bay. Unit well equipped with towels, umbrella. Beach is gorgeous with beautiful turquoise warm water. Pool and grounds immaculate. Well maintained. Pretty landscaping. Enjoyed the screened porch with ceiling fan for morning coffee. Most gorgeous sunsets on the island right outside of the door. Marc was easy to work with ..... from the time of booking and throughout our stay. He touched base by email and phone upon our arrival to ensure we were doing ok. We would not hesitate to book again .... amazing experience.
