Our family of eleven stayed here for a week in July, 2018. We rented the villa when there were no reviews, so I felt we were taking a chance ... but it really paid off.
The property is everything you could want. The villa is located in the East End, a very quiet part of the island. It took us about 45 minutes to drive there from the airport. We rented a car from Marshall's, and stopped in Savannah for groceries and liquor along the way (Foster's IGA & Jacque Scott's Liquor). There is an express grocery store in East End, and a liquor store, but better to visit the larger ones on the way to the villa. Be advised, grocery and liquor stores are closed on Sundays.
The villa has three levels. The ground level has the amazing pool and jacuzzi, with plenty of lounging space, and tables in the shade. You can enter the game room from the pool area, which holds a full bar (sans liquor), pool table, shuffleboard game, video games and a flat screen tv area for watching movies. We spent most nights down in the game room having a blast. There are two bedrooms as well, and they share the full bath that's located on this level.
The second level is the one you enter the house on. It has a large kitchen and dining area, living room with flat screen tv, half bath, and two bedrooms with their own attached bathrooms. This level opens up to an outside veranda that overlooks the pool and faces the ocean view - this was our favorite place to gather in the mornings.
The third level has the master bedroom suite with attached bathroom and veranda, and another bedroom with attached bathroom and veranda. From this level you can climb a spiral staircase to another bedroom at the very top of the villa. It was perfect for our teenage son, and he was able to share the bathroom we had on the third level.
The back of the house faces the ocean, and there are constant trade winds blowing, which you need to quell the humid heat. We were able to snorkel right off the beach, as it is shallow quite a ways out to the breakers, where there is a coral reef to explore. We also enjoyed using the two kayaks provided by the house.
We were able to easily explore the rest of the island by car, but always enjoyed coming back to Our Cayman Cottage. The island residents are warm, welcoming people, and we would return again without hesitation. If you're looking for peace, quiet and privacy - Our Cayman Cottage fits the bill perfectly!
