Perfect for kayaking and paddleboarding, the cove is home to Cayman's Bioluminescence Bay. Experience the beautiful glowing waters on moonless nights with the free kayaks included with the home. The other big draw to this neighborhood is its proximity to the restaurants and water sports at the Rum Point Club. Guests can easily stroll across the street for a barefoot beach experience with food and drinks, plus snorkeling, jet ski rentals, and beach volleyball. Finally, a short bike ride south on Water Cay Road is where you'll find the Kaibo, a luxe beach dining destination and marina. The Kaibo consists of two restaurants: Upstairs for fine dining and The Beach for casual bar & grill dining. There's also a cafe, Kaibo Espresso, for lattes, pastries, and breakfast fare. Ferry service departs daily from the Kaibo marina to Camana Bay, an open-air mall with boutique shops, restaurants, and a cinema, perfect for day trips! Just beyond the marina is Starfish Point, a secluded beach spot with crystal clear shallow water teeming with starfish.

Scheduling may be coordinated with your property manager upon arrival. ***Beach Notes*** These nine clusters of 2-story townhomes sit staggered along the water's edge with a shared community freshwater pool overlooking the island's Bioluminescent Bay. Famous for its glowing nighttime waters, Bio Bay is a phenomenon not to be missed especially on moonless nights. Explore at your own pace or book a guided tour with our friends at Cayman Kayaks and Sweet Spot Watersports. While Bio Bay is ideal for kayaking and paddleboarding, it is not ideal for swimming due to its soft muddy bottom. For a barefoot beach experience with great food and tropical drinks, head across the street to the new Rum Point Club. ***Beachfront Dining*** Fully renovated and reopened to the public, the new Rum Point Club offers a spectacular barefoot beach experience with vibrant snorkeling, watersport rentals, plus a new restaurant, and an open-air beach bar. Another dining destination in the neighborhood is the Kaibo. A favorite among locals, the Kaibo consists of a coffee shop and two restaurants, a casual beach bar and grill, and a fine dining restaurant. Live music, beach barbecues, and full moon parties are highlights at Kaibo. ***General Grand Cayman 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 seasonally. Sargassum is a harmless floating seaweed that has increased in frequency in recent years. Sargassum is rarely an issue at the Island Houses.
