Welcome to Great Bluff Estates, a gated oceanfront villa with pool set into the bluffs of Grand Cayman's Northside. This recently renovated five to six-bedroom home offers a large family all they could want, from excellent snorkeling steps off the backyard to a stunning elevated sundeck and freshwater pool.
The curb appeal of Great Bluff Estates includes a cobalt-blue tiled roof, bright white stucco exterior and a terracotta circular driveway that can easily accommodate multiple rental vehicles. The home offers multiple oceanfront decks and balconies, two tiers of terraced artificial grass near the shoreline, two cabanas, and a new concrete ocean path entrance. The beach here is naturally pebbly, so the owner maintains a raked sandy area for water access.
Snorkeling here is amazingly diverse due to very few homes in the area and very few people in the water on a given day. We tend to see spotted eagle rays, octopus, lobster, eels and, of course, many juvenile fish inhabiting the coral heads. There is also rarely any current in the waters here.
Beach Notes
The beach behind Great Bluff Estates is both pebbly and sandy. It is by no means a barefoot beach as the beach here is reef protected which creates a marine environment of corals and grasses for all of our marine life to live in! Please wear pool shoes or swim fins when in the water and be mindful not to damage the corals.
The snorkeling here is superb, as there are never many snorkelers in the water to spook the rays, tarpon, grouper, juvenile schools, etc. We often see eagle rays swimming by from the pool deck...as well as lines of squid out near the reef.
If you want a barefoot beach for swimming, we have two large resorts in the east end only 10 minutes from us that are both open to the public, and have restaurants, bars, watersports, etc.
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.
