The Pools #1- the Luxury Beachfront Hideaway with Private Pool

The most private getaway on the island, this end unit condo boasts the best view of Sunset Point. Unwind in your very own heated pool enclosed in a giant, invisible screen accessible from both the living room and bedroom. The disappearing glass doors provide a seamless transition from house to the private pool to a pristine beach complete with coconut palm trees to the crystal-clear, turquoise Caribbean. World-renowned sunsets and sunrises are also part of the package!

Whether you're honeymooning, celebrating an anniversary, in need of some R & R, or just plain want to pamper yourself with the best, this is the place for you. This is where the residents of Grand Cayman come when they want to relax! Let us help you plan your dream beach wedding!

Pick-ups at your own private dock for trips to famous Stingray City, sunset sails and dinner cruises. Scuba dive, snorkel, windsurf, kayak, sail, jet ski, beachcomb or just hang out at the condo with every amenity under the sun: dual T.V. with elite cable; dual DVD players; CD player with stereo system inside and poolside;
wireless hi-speed internet connection; books and games; pool toys; charcoal BBQ; state-of-the-art kitchen appliances. Air-conditioned, of course, although if you wish, make the glass walls disappear and the pool and lanai will become your living room.

Don't feel like eating in? Stroll down the beach to the Kaibo Yacht Club for casual yet elegant Caribbean cuisine. Other fine restaurants are just minutes away. Night clubs? They're on the other side of the island. This isn't Seven Mile Beach; it's The Pools of Cayman Kai, the peaceful paradise of Grand Cayman.

Enjoyed the Caymans, but Vrbo fell short of expectations
We were excited to travel to Grand Cayman! The easy access and private pool were great! It was a quiet part of Grand Cayman and we loved our beach. Unfortunately there were some things that made our Vrbo stay not 100%. Including quite a lot of “clean” dishes that had to be re-washed when used due to old food/stains on them, only 1 washcloth in the entire place (there were 2 of us staying), only 1 cereal sized bowl in the whole kitchen, dull knives, difficulty moving the kayaks to the water (as they weighed over 200lb), and on our last night there was a water main leak, leaving us with no water for hours. Overall, it was a 3.5/5 stay!

Super clean, provided everything, and in a great location!
My husband and I love vacation rentals, and I have to say this is the cleanest one we've ever stayed in! The managers clearly put a lot of care into making sure the unit is ready to be a second home, making our 5-night stay very comfortable. The location was perfect for us—away from the touristy areas, yet super accessible to fun spots. We kayaked from our "backyard" to Starfish Point and the floating Pirate Grill Bar, where we relaxed in the soft, sandy water while enjoying freshly made food. Kaibo Beach Restaurant is next door, and it's good for a drink but not much else. We did eat there, but it's too expensive to justify a return visit. The service was friendly and the food was fine, but not worth the high prices. Instead, go there for a drink, put your feet in the sand, and enjoy the view. For dining, visit the Czech Inn about 30 minutes away—our favorite spot. Also, check out 1981 Brewery! Tip: When you leave the airport, stop by Foster's at Camana Bay for groceries before heading to the North Side where Cayman Kai is located. Next door to Foster's is Blackbeards, where you can pick up beer, wine, and liquor. For additional items, there's a small store called Chisholms with limited options—good in a pinch. Enjoy The Pools!

Starfish Point Paradise
Staying at The Pools #1 was absolutely heavenly! We loved the laid back north side location. The beachfront bay is shallow with lot of seagrass but we brought water shoes and waded in the super warm waters with beautiful starfish. We rented snorkel gear from Red Sail at Rum Point. Snorkeling the area to the right of the Rum Point pier, we saw a lot of fish and sea turtles! Kaibo Yacht Club was great for catching the Cayman Ferry to Camana Bay and getting to Stingray City with White Sand Sports, that was the best experience ever! The kitchen was nicely equipped for making all our meals. We were pleased with the selection of food and drinks at Chisolms grocery store nearby. We had meals on the patio and swam in the lovely pool every day. We enjoyed the kayaks for a trip around the Kaibo bay. The king sized bed was comfy, the unit was stocked with an abundance of linens and beach towels. We wished the managers had provided a binder or folder of unit + local information but we got by preparing ahead of the trip and using the internet. We had a wonderful experience staying at The Pools, thank you for having us!

Quiet side of the island. We loved the location and enjoyed our walks to get morning coffee and to starfish point. A quick drive to rum point for a relaxing day on the beach. The pool and condo was awesome. Just what we were looking for. We saw lots of starfish and fish on the dock right outside the condo. Thank you for sharing your lovely place with us!

3 Nights of Relaxation
We stayed for 3 nights prior to our flight to Little Cayman. Everything was great. Comfy bed, warm private pool in a screened in porch which we used every night. Kitchen is fully equipped but we chose to eat out at Kaibo just a short walk away on our first night, Tukkas on our 2nd and Over the Edge on our 3rd for breakfast and dinner. Rented a mustang convertible from Marshall’s for fun touring. Wish we could have returned for a week after Little Cayman but it was booked. Quiet neighbourhood, beachfront and enjoyed watching the boats go by. Hope to return.

Great location away from Cruise Crowds
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay; the home is very clean, quiet, comfortable, attractive, and very nicely appointed. The location is perfect for anyone hoping to enjoy the most tranquil and unspoiled area of Grand Cayman. Our only minor disappointment is that we were unable to enjoy the private pool because it is so well shaded from the sun that it never warmed up enough to get in. There were no notes/instructions in the house about a pool heater; if there is one, having that information along with other notes left for tenants would be a good addition.

Needs updating
We arrived shortly after 3:00 on the first day of our rental. The key wasn’t in the lockbox, and the door was locked. I started to phone the property managers when my husband decided to ring the bell. An HVAC worker was inside working on the AC. He said he was told we were not checking in until the following day. There was zero communication from the property manager that someone would be in the unit. Obviously we want the AC to be functioning, but would have appreciated a heads up that the unit wasn’t ready. He was there approximately an hour. His boss called us to say he was going to call the property managers to have housekeeping come back to finish cleaning the unit. Two housekeepers arrived at different times to finish cleaning (putting the bedroom back together, drop off toilet paper and paper towels) after he left. The floors were not clean and didn’t look like they had been mopped thoroughly in awhile. The table on the patio only has three chairs - two of which are cracked/broken and the third one is close to being broken, too, as there is a crack where the seat of the chair connects to the frame. If the unit is intended to sleep four, then just know there aren’t four chairs for the table’s height that you will be able to sit around. And the counter in the kitchen only has three stools. The unit has potential, but needs a refresh from the linens, to furniture to appliances (toaster didn’t have a handle and floor fan in bedroom was broken).

Best Vacation Ever!!!
This home was the perfect getaway for my husband and I to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary! The home was immaculate and so private, it felt like we had the beach to ourselves. The location is perfect...so quiet but plenty of restaurants nearby. We took a water taxi out of Kaibo to Camana Bay and an excursion to Stingray City. Super easy and convenient!! The private pool was an amzing plus, I would recommend this home to anyone thats wants a relaxing time away from the hostle and bustle!

This was our second time at the Pools. The warm private pool (don't forget to request it) the peaceful gorgeous surroundings and sunrises, the beautiful back roads and Starfish point for walks are just perfect. Rum Point is now open for outdoor dining from 11:30 until a half hour before sunset while they finish renovations. The little grocery store Chisolms and Over the Edge Restaurant is convenient and of course Kaibo a block away. We toured Crystal Caves about a10 minutes drive. That was interesting. Didn't get to our favorite Tukkas on the East side but Mimi's Dive bar was very nice right on the water. Just enjoying the double kayak and warm pool was awesome. There was a little issue with tiny ants but management is wonderful, friendly and everything is taken care of the same day. Loved it!!!

Private Paradise
We cannot wait to return. The condo is at the end and very private. Paradise begins out the back door. We enjoyed the Kayak and the paddle boards. The ocean is 20 steps from the back stairs. The water is so beautiful. We found a giant red starfish approximately 17 inches wide in the backyard. A very nice place to drink and dine on the beach is a 2 minute walk out the back door. The condo is lovely and very clean.
