Cayman Castle & Guesthouse

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.

Cayman Castle and Guesthouse sit directly oceanfront on a private two-acre walled estate. Perched on an elevated point of land, the Cayman Castle grounds include an attached private white sandy beach with excellent snorkelling and sunbathing. An infinity pool (heated in the winter), multi-tiered oceanfront terraces, panoramic roofed balconies and a covered first-floor veranda provide guests plenty of room to spread out, share meals, or enjoy the stunning vistas.

This grand estate is not only one of the largest rental villas on the entire island, it also is a notable landmark. Virtually anyone on the island is familiar with the castle in the East End. While we are neighbours to the Wreck of the 10 Sails Park and the police constable's residence, this property enjoys no residential neighbours to the north or south for a good 500 feet in either direction. With the gate of the castle shut in the evenings, guest can enjoy their privacy.

The owner takes immaculate care of the home making upgrades every fall to keep the experience not only refreshing and pleasant for repeat guests, but for newcomers to Cayman Island as well.

20 guests maximum, of whom 16 may be adults 18 years or older. Up to 2 infants, sleeping in cribs do not count against guest occupancy.

Beach Notes
Cayman Castle sits on a two-acre gated estate in Gun Bay in East End; adjacent to six acres of government land that includes the Wreck of the 10 Sails park and the East End Constable's residence and office.

Two to three lunch places are within walking distance and Tukka Restaurant is only a mile north. Two miles north are the two large resorts (Morritt's and The Reef) where they maintain manicured beaches, pools, restaurants, bars and watersports. Those resorts are great places to entertain older kids and for anyone to spend the day.

The beach at the Castle is white sand and is quite private. We have three thatched palapas, four kayaks, and six lounge chaises on the beach. Most folks will spend the day sunning around the pool, but we offer the beach option too. The water is more snorkeling than swimming here...it is a marine environment, and we recommend pool shoes or fins.

You can walk down our stairs on the point to sit down and put on your fins as well. We have a great snorkeling site straight out 200 yds from the castle marked with a white PVC pole. You may also tie up the kayaks to that pole as well.

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.
