***Property Overview***
Welcome to Sweetie Kai, Island House #6.
This 2-bedroom home has been completely renovated from top to bottom and outfitted by an interior designer with beautiful finishes and decor. New ceiling fans enhance the tropical breezes while the air conditioning keeps things cool in both the bedrooms and living areas.
The living, dining, and kitchen areas are on the lower level, with a powder room and laundry. A sunroom with a daybed sits at the front of the home off the living area. It's the perfect spot for reading books or as an overflow sleeping space for kids.
The living and dining areas open onto a spacious, fully screened patio with vaulted ceilings. Enjoy a tropical breakfast or breezy dinner without pesky bugs. The kitchen is equipped with modern appliances and is stocked with cookware, flatware, glassware, and cutlery. A drip coffee maker, wine fridge, and blender are also provided.
Upstairs, you'll find two identical bedrooms, each with a private balcony and an ensuite bathroom. The balconies overlook the screened patio, providing elevated views of the waterfront.

The Island Houses consist of 18 privately owned townhomes encircling a communal pool overlooking the Cayman Kai cove. Perfect for kayaking and paddleboarding, the cove is home to Cayman's Bioluminescence Bay. Experience the beautiful glowing waters on moonless nights with the free kayaks included with the home.
The other big draw to this neighborhood is its proximity to the restaurants and water sports at the Rum Point Club. Guests can easily stroll across the street for a barefoot beach experience with food and drinks, plus snorkeling, jet ski rentals, and beach volleyball.
Finally, a short bike ride south on Water Cay Road is where you'll find the Kaibo, a luxe beach dining destination and marina. The Kaibo consists of two restaurants: Upstairs for fine dining and The Beach for casual bar & grill dining. There's also a cafe, Kaibo Espresso, for lattes, pastries, and breakfast fare. Ferry service departs daily from the Kaibo marina to Camana Bay, an open-air mall with boutique shops, restaurants, and a cinema, perfect for day trips!
Just beyond the marina is Starfish Point, a secluded beach spot with crystal clear shallow water teeming with starfish. Pack a picnic and head to the point for sunset views that will leave you breathless.
With so many attractions just outside your door, Sweetie Kai checks all the boxes for an incredible Cayman vacation.

***Getting Around***
A rental car is highly recommended. Taxi cabs are unreliable and expensive outside of town and Seven Mile Beach. Plus, there is no Uber or Lyft on the island. For rental cars, we recommend Avis, Marshalls, or Hertz.
***Villa Cleaning & Sanitation***
All villas are cleaned and sanitized prior to each guest's arrival. We also ask our owners to provide a starter supply of extra cleaning products. Additional housekeeping services can be purchased after booking in 3-hour time blocks. Scheduling may be coordinated with your property manager upon arrival.
***Beach Notes***
These nine clusters of 2-story townhomes sit staggered along the water's edge with a shared community freshwater pool overlooking the island's Bioluminescent Bay.
Famous for its glowing nighttime waters, Bio Bay is a phenomenon not to be missed especially on moonless nights. Explore at your own pace or book a guided tour with our friends at Cayman Kayaks and Sweet Spot Watersports.
While Bio Bay is ideal for kayaking and paddleboarding, it is not ideal for swimming due to its soft muddy bottom. For a barefoot beach experience with great food and tropical drinks, head across the street to the new Rum Point Club.
***Beachfront Dining***
Fully renovated and reopened to the public, the new Rum Point Club offers a spectacular barefoot beach experience with vibrant snorkeling, watersport rentals, plus a new restaurant, and an open-air beach bar.
Another dining destination in the neighborhood is the Kaibo. A favorite among locals, the Kaibo consists of a coffee shop and two restaurants, a casual beach bar and grill, and a fine dining restaurant. Live music, beach barbecues, and full moon parties are highlights at Kaibo.
***General Grand Cayman Beach Notes***
All beaches in Grand Cayman are technically public since the Crown owns up to the high watermark. Be advised, the beach or water entry behind your property may vary slightly from the images displayed due to shifting weather and tide patterns. The next-door beach is also always available for your use. We advise guests to wear foot protection (pool socks or aqua shoes) when entering the ocean to avoid injury on coral heads, ironshore, or rocks.
***Ocean Debris & Sargassum Seaweed***
Beaches in Grand Cayman may also experience floating ocean debris and sargassum seasonally. Sargassum is a harmless floating seaweed that has increased in frequency in recent years.
Sargassum is rarely an issue at the Island Houses.
