Great Escape

OVERVIEW

Guests of this accommodation can take advantage of the benefits included in the Silver Thatch Membership. Contact a Rental Escapes villa specialist for the full list of benefits. Premium amenities are available for a separate charge.

Great Escape is located on a quiet cove in Cayman Kai on the north coast, only steps from the Rum Point Club. This sprawling villa consists of the main house with three bedrooms and two baths, plus an optional one-bedroom, one-bath guest cottage. Rental of both the villa and cottage gives guests two superb king master suites to choose from, plus additional king and queen guest bedrooms. With a large, freshwater oceanfront swimming pool, white-sand barefoot beach, and spacious interiors, Great Escape is a great property for your island getaway.

Great Escape’s interiors are clean and modern, with cool tile floors and modern decor. Plenty of windows and sliding glass doors open onto the pool deck and fill the home with natural light and gorgeous views. On the occasional lazy day, guests can relax across the large, beachfront screened porch with comfortable seating, or play a friendly game of ping pong without losing the breeze or ocean views.

A gourmet kitchen sits just off of the front porch and comes equipped with granite countertops, island breakfast bar with stool seating, and a full range of modern appliances. Cookware, dishware, cutlery, and coffee maker are all provided.

Boasting one of the largest residential swimming pools in Cayman Kai, Great Escape's outdoor amenities are top-notch. The pool features a built-in tabletop with submerged bar seating. Optional pool heat is available at $35 per day.

The pool deck overlooks the tranquil cove and is lined with chaise lounges, patio umbrellas, and plush patio sofas. Guests can enjoy al fresco dining under the stars by the pool deck, or under the roofed cabana by the waterfront. With its own private pier, guests can dock boat rentals and jet skis in the backyard, or hire a private boat charter to pick them up right off the dock.

With its spacious interiors and stellar outdoor amenities, Great Escape is the perfect vacation villa for large family vacations or multiple couples on a tropical getaway.

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 cove-front homes in Cayman Kai offer calm serene water for docking a rental boat, charter boat pick-up, or just safe shallow swimming for little children. Adults won’t swim in the cove as the Rum Point Club is too nice by comparison.

You get the best of both worlds at Great Escape: a backyard facing the cove with a private pool and boat dock, proximity to the Rum Point Club, plus an idyllic beach across the street. Public right-of-way beach access is located diagonally across the street.

The big draw to this area is the proximity to the Rum Point Club, a public beach club that offers a fantastic barefoot beach, water sports, a restaurant bar and grill, a gift shop, and pick-up beach volleyball games. Also, nearby is the Kaibo Yacht Club featuring a fine dining restaurant, a casual beach bar and grill, and a marina. Overall, Cayman Kai is a fabulous neighborhood dotted with million-dollar oceanfront villas and sweeping views.

Lastly, about 20 minutes east we have two large resorts (Morritt's 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, oceanfront pools and bar service.

General Grand Cayman Beach Notes
All beaches in Grand Cayman are technically “public” since the Queen owns up to the high watermark and the shoreline quality behind your property may vary seasonally. Be advised that the beach or water entry behind your property may vary slightly from the images on our website because of the weather. The next-door beach is also always available for your use.

Ocean Debris and 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. Although sargassum is an unsightly nuisance, it is largely seasonal in summer. The owners do make efforts to remove heavy sargassum and will have the beach raked prior to your arrival. We try our best to work around mother nature.
