Envision is the new name for this charming, renovated beach villa on Cayman's North Side. The new owner and property manager are committed to providing a memorable villa for family vacations.

Reasonably priced for larger families, Envision is a two-level home featuring an open floor plan with a large family room on the lower level. Furnished with a comfortable sectional sofa and large television, guests will find plenty of space to spread out, relax, and enjoy the sweeping ocean views. Exposed beams and vaulted ceilings accentuate the views while also filling the home with natural light.

A small den sits off the family room furnished with a desk and sleeper sofa. It's a nice spot to curl up with a book for some quiet time or a daytime nap. Work-from-home professionals can retreat to the den to connect remotely with the office while vacationing in style.

The new freshwater pool with spa (heating optional) overlooks a large sandy beachfront that leads to excellent snorkelling just steps from the back door. The beach offers plenty of sunning space with no neighbours to the east or west. The beach is lined with palm trees and comes equipped with a beach cabana for shade plus a seaside hammock. Spa heat is included from Thanksgiving to Easter. In the summer months, it is available for a US$50/day surcharge.

A large oceanfront sun porch on the edge of the pool deck is the perfect place to dine or relax after a day of sun and surf. The dining table is usually set up with seating for six to eight guests. The owner and property manager are attentive to maintenance and keep everything just right for guests.

The villa's five bedrooms are spread across the upper and lower levels. The primary suite plus two bedrooms sit on the lower level with the remaining two bedrooms upstairs. The upper-level bedrooms are ideal for kids and teens due to their low ceilings.

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 beach at Envision offers great reef-protected snorkeling while also having a sandy beachfront. The beaches in North Side usually have plenty of white sand, but can also have some spots of rocky “ironshore” with natural rock formations. With the abundant marine life we have in the water, you will want to wear pool shoes or fins for foot protection. The prevailing trade winds from the east make flying insects less of a nuisance—many of the homes on the north coast don’t even need a screened porch.

The big draw to this area is the proximity to the Rum Point Club, a public beach club (reopens March 2023) that offers a fantastic barefoot beach, many watersports, a restaurant bar and grill, a gift shop, and pick-up beach volleyball games. Also, nearby is the Kaibo Yacht Club restaurant, bar, and marina

Lastly, we have two large resorts in the east end (Morritt's and The Reef) that offer manicured beaches as well as restaurants, beach bars, a modern grocery store, a liquor store, gift shops, a Subway sandwich shop, and the Italian Kitchen restaurant. 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 Crown 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.
