***Property Overview***
Welcome to Starfish Kai, unit C28 of the Kaibo Phase II condominiums. The owners recently renovated this second-floor condo sparing no expense. This home checks all the boxes for an island vacation and offers both luxury and privacy while being only a short walk from The Kaibo marina, cafe, restaurants, and watersports.
Snorkel and scuba charters depart from The Kaibo Marina, as well as the Cayman Ferry to Camana Bay and Seven Mile Beach. The Rum Point Club is also within walking distance for snorkeling, barefoot swimming, and watersports. Starfish Point is also only a 5-minute walk west. For fun under the stars, book a kayak tour of the Bioluminescent Bay and watch the water glow at night!
Bright white shiplap wall treatment, porcelain plank flooring, and a full kitchen redesign show that nothing has been overlooked at Starfish Kai. Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, a beverage fridge, a built-in microwave, and beaded-edge cabinetry are all over-the-top.
Carerra marble throughout the bathrooms gives a very clean and tidy resort look. Nest thermostats control an entirely new air conditioning system.
Outdoor amenities include a large pool deck with plenty of sun loungers to soak up the sun. The shared pool includes a spa (heated in winter only) overlooking a white sandy beachfront with seaside hammocks for guests to enjoy. Beach chairs are also provided to take with you to Starfish Point or Rum Point Beach--just don't forget to bring them back, please!
***Sleeping Arrangements***
(Licensed to sleep 4 guests)
-- Primary Suite: king bed, television, water views, ceiling fan, ensuite with large rainfall shower, water wand, and shower bench.
-- Guest Suite - king bed, television, ceiling fan, ensuite with rainfall shower.
The positioning of Starfish Kai also lends itself to amazing sunset views and less breeze on the beach. That said, on cooler winter nights, our guests can shut down the air conditioning and open the front windows to allow the eastern tradewinds to cool the home.
For a two-bedroom condo, Starfish Kai has the finer amenities of a four-bedroom villa. You won't find a more upgraded condo in the Kaibo Phase II complex.
Notes: 1). A Departure Cleaning Fee is added to all stays.
2). Additional tandem kayaks are available for discounted rental. Signed waiver required.

***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***
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 weed seasonally. Sargassum is a generally harmless floating seaweed that has increased in frequency in recent years. This is VERY RARE for homes along the Cayman Kai Cove.

***Getting Around***
A rental car is highly recommended. Taxi cabs are unreliable and expensive outside of town. Plus, there is no Uber or Lyft on the island. For rental cars, we recommend Avis, Marshalls, or Hertz.
***Day Tripping***
Cayman Ferries operates daily water taxis departing from the Kaibo Marina to Camana Bay. Perfect for day trips to Seven Mile Beach or shopping excursions at Camana Bay. Download their app to purchase your tickets in advance. Just be sure to make it back for the return voyage across the sound!
