Kai-yak Cove is a recently built luxury Caribbean-style villa in the tranquil resort neighborhood of Cayman Kai. Guests enjoy many unique features including a wrap-around veranda, a pool with a heated spa, an outdoor kitchen, and a private dock with a gazebo. The quality of the build, decor, and furnishings is first-class. The villa was recently featured on the front cover of a local home and garden magazine.
The space
***Property Overview***
The sky blue exterior and crisp, white trim hint at the level of decor within. Wall coverings, furniture, and plantation shutters all evoke a resort-casual, beach cottage feel. With all the decor, amenities and privacy, many of our guests do not venture far from the villa during their stay. Kai-Yak Cove has two dens for quiet areas, reading, relaxing or streaming your favorite content.
The first-floor den is equipped with a large SmartTV and Sonos soundbar and a plush sectional sofa. The den connects to a full bathroom that also serves as the lower-level powder room. Pocket doors and plantation shutters add privacy and shade for watching the big game or movie. A second media room with SmartTV and Sonos on the second floor offers walk-out access to a waterfront balcony. The second-floor den is equally pleasant.
The big draw to the great room is a wall of sliding glass that affords a full view of the pool, beach and quiet cove waters excellent for paddle boarding and kayaking. Outside, a generously spaced veranda allows for shaded lounging/dining whilst enjoying the sea breeze and views.
The gourmet kitchen is a vacationing chef's dream. Kitchen-Aid appliances include a built-in main fridge and freezer, a wine fridge, a dishwasher, a wall oven, a microwave and a warming drawer that doubles as a slow cooker. Small appliances and a drip coffee maker are also provided.
The villa's private pool includes an elevated spa, plus a sun shelf for a ledge lounger. Spa heat is an optional add-on $75/day charge, year-round.
An outdoor kitchen cabana with a propane grill, icemaker and beverage fridge is perfect for island cookouts under the stars.
A sandy beachfront leads down to the villa's dock and gazebo. The cove is ideal for for watersports and there is a barefoot white sand beach directly across the street (see map tab). Newly renovated Rum Point Club is a walk away with watersports, barefoot swimming and food/beverage service.
The villa offers one bedroom suite on the first floor and three bedrooms on the second floor.
Ideal for multiple couples and families. While the owner prefers guests to be over age 10, exceptions can be approved on a case by case basis. Please inquire.

***Getting Around***
A rental car is highly recommended. Taxi cabs are unreliable and expensive outside of town and Seven Mile Beach. Plus, there is no Uber or Lyft on the island. For rental cars, we recommend BudgetCayman, Avis, Marshalls, or Hertz. All have pickup locations at the airport.
***Villa Cleaning & Sanitation***
All villas are cleaned and sanitized before each guest's arrival. We also ask our owners to provide a starter supply of extra cleaning products. Housekeeping services can be purchased after booking in 3-hour time blocks. Scheduling may be coordinated with your property manager upon arrival.
***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.
Other things to note
Villa guests can check-in at our Welcome Center at 846 Frank Sound Road. Directions and check-in procedures will be emailed 2 weeks prior to your arrival.
