Island House #16 Waterfront Condo at Rum Point w/ Pool

Welcome to Island Sunset Island House #12 at The Island Houses of Rum Point!

The Island Sunset is a pristine 2-story, open-floor plan Island House that brings Cayman's nature and the tropical island breeze indoors. It's a beautiful, well-appointed water/beachfront property located on the Rum Point inlet cove with a fresh powdery white sandy beach surrounded by lush tropical foliage.

Island Sunset is a fantastic vacation destination for a family, couples travelling together or just a romantic couple looking to get away from it all.

Interior:

The Island Sunset living room has all new furniture including a 37' flat panel HDTV equipped with cable and premium channels, high-speed wifi and free international calls to the US and Canada.

Enjoy dinner either inside with the comfort of leather chairs with a table that seats 5 guests, or opt for upscale casual dining on the screen patio with your serene beach view.  Our patio doors are extra wide and collapse into 3 sections so you can enjoy the Caribbean breezes while inside.

Fully Equipped:

Island Sunset has a new custom-designed kitchen with upscale cabinets, granite countertops with a stainless steel under-mount sink and a special oversized island countertop. All appliances are state-of-the-art stainless steel and we provide a full-size washer and dryer for your convenience in the separate laundry room located on the ground floor right off the kitchen.  The unit is also equipped with a charcoal BBQ grill.

Accommodation:

Island Sunset has 2 bedrooms upstairs with a luxury memory foam King-size bed in the master bedroom and 2 Queen-size beds in the guest room. 1000-count linens and Ralph Lauren towels are just some of the simple pleasures we have provided for our guests to ensure you and your family have the best possible experience when visiting our Island House. Each bedroom has a 32' flat-panel TV and has its own bathroom en-suite.

Magnificent views can be enjoyed on each bedroom's private balcony that features new comfortable furnishing so you can relax with your beverage of choice while enjoying your breathtaking beach and water view!

Convenient Location:

The Island Sunset Island House is only steps away from the famous Rum Point Beach where a full host of water sports, swimming or hammocks, and seaside dining await.  No visit to Grand Cayman would be complete without a memorable trip to Stingray City!  Take your Stingray City snorkel trip right across the street with Red Sail Sports.  Take the ferry over to 7 Mile Beach for a day excursion, or a romantic sunset cruise and dinner across the North Sound.

The Rum Point Water Ferry also runs daily from The Kaibo Yacht Club to Camana Bay at 7 Mile Beach.

Inclusions & Activities:

Why look any further, our properties have everything you and your family deserve when visiting Grand Cayman.

For our guests, we provide 3 complimentary two-person kayaks with paddles, safety vests, and 5 bikes at no additional cost.

Get ready for a fabulous nocturnal spectacle with one of only 11 bio-luminescent bays in the world when kayaking at night! A micro-organism lights up when you disturb the water, it's truly a sight to see and you can experience this right outside your door.  Be sure to also explore the fascinating Crystal Caves and the Botanical Gardens, both just minutes away.

Our friendly, professional and informed on-island management team will meet and greet you upon arrival, and be available to assist you with any needs during your Island Sunset stay.

A Week on the Bio Bay
My daughter, teenage grandsons and I recently enjoyed a week in this beautiful home on the bioluminescent bay. Access to the bay was a prime reason for choosing this property and we loved being able to use the kayaks to experience the nightly phenomenon whenever we wanted (until the moon got too bright toward the end of the week). We also used the kayaks to paddle across the sound to the back side of Starfish Point, where we found many starfish and only a couple of other visitors. The condo property was very clean and Joshua, the local property manager, was very responsive to our requests and questions.

Wonderful place to stay
Wonderful property with lots of amenities such as 4 kayaks, 5 bicycles, snorkel gear plus more, my wife and I have stayed in different island houses and have never been disappointed, being across the street from Tim point is a bonus, you can take a catamaran from there too snorkel at different places plus great restaurants right there and don’t forget the snorkeling is amazing just to the right of the dock at rum point, make sure you go out just past the dock to see sea turtles and stingrays and big colorful fish

Beautiful house and great location. We were looking for a relaxing holiday and this was perfect. House was well kept and had everything necessary for our stay. Loved having access to the kayaks and the bikes. Short walk to the beach and to the restaurant at Rum Point. Kaibo restaurant was also close by so we enjoyed their Beach BBQ on Tuesday night. Would highly recommend this property!

This amazing place was exactly as described. The beach was across the street and the Bioluminescence Bay was in the backyard. The condo was neat and tidy and had everything you would need.

Location, location, location!
Our family of five had a wonderful week staying here. We loved being on the quieter side of the island. Literally a one minute walk to the beach at Rum Point and steps from the pool. We took the kayak out multiple times to see the bioluminescent…so cool! Rum Point has a cool vibe with the bar serving good drinks and yummy food available. Just a mile away we visited Starfish Point multiple times and loved the barefoot BBQ at Kiabo (Tuesday nights-reservations required). The weather was perfect every day. Many family memories were made with our 14 and 11 year old daughters and 9 year old son. The owner, Don, was very responsive to my questions prior to leaving. The house had everything we needed for our stay. Wishing we were there now!

Exactly what we needed
This house was exactly what we were looking for in a relaxing vacation. It is away from the busier parts of the island, but that is what we wanted. We loved taking the kayaks out on the bay at night. It had everything that we needed. If I were to change any one thing, it would be cushions on the patio chairs as we spent a lot there.

Perfect getaway
This was the perfect location if you want quiet and beauty. The condo was well appointed, clean, and comfortable. Loved the screened porch. We used the canoes to explore the bay and Rum Point area. Snorkeling in Bio Bay was awesome, even though the moon was shining. We had dinner at Tukka East (don't miss feeding the albatross!), Kaibo, Over the Edge and Southcoast Bar and Grill. It wasn't too long a drive and looking at all the huge houses was interesting. It takes about 50 minutes to Georgetown, but there's so much to look at on the way. We would definitely stay here again.

Perfect townhouse in Rum Point
This is our third rental of this unit, so that probably says it all. It is well appointed, roomy, clean and well cared for. Excellent Air conditioning, that is much needed in Grand Cayman. Pool is beautiful and everyone we met was friendly making the stay just perfect. Three people in our party stayed in this unit and the rest in a house rental close by. Perfect from start to finish. Sad Rum Point was not open and look forward to the work they are doing to reopen.

Fun in the Caymans
We enjoyed our stay in the Caymans! The on island contact was very helpful and responded quickly to any questions. The condo was comfortable and accommodated my family nicely. The location was a little bit hard because there were not very many restaurants around open. Also the area behind the condo would benefit from having sand instead of rocks and dirt. The water behind the condo is not swimmable. We did enjoy going on the kayaks and riding bikes down to starfish point. The seaweed was bad on the Rum point beach and only the people staying in those condos were allowed to use the chairs or dock. We went to the starfish point beach but there are no beach chairs, so bring a towel. Over all, the condo was good, but location and convenience, were a bit challenging. Definitely need a car!

We experienced things we’ve never seen before like swimming and kayaking in the bioluminescent bay, seeing the incredible botanical gardens and orchid blooms and crystal caves. Sitting on the screened in porch was also a relaxing gecko filled reprieve from the sunset mosquitos. Rum point is closed til further notice but we very much enjoyed the beach there even while they finish construction. Overall a very enjoyable and relaxing stay.

Beautiful home!
We loved staying in your home! It was very clean and well stocked (spices, trash bags, paper towels, toilet paper, paper plates). And it was the perfect amount of space for our family of four. We also loved the kayaks and bikes which we used frequently during our stay. The location was quiet and we enjoyed a few delish meals at Kaibo. It was a long drive for some of the excursions that we did (~1 hour) but they were worth it! It was unfortunate that Rum Point was closed which we didn’t know until we arrived.

Wonderful house on the quiet side of the island!
This house was exactly as described! Very well set up, and very well appointed. So many beach towels were provided, so we didn't have to constantly do laundry; and plenty of extra pillows and blankets. Wifi signal at the house was strong. The kayaks and bicycles were awesome for exploring the area. House sits right on the bio-luminescent bay, starfish point is a short drive or bike ride away. Across the street is Rum Point beach; beach swimming area, beach bar & grill, restaurant, souvenir shop, & Red Sail Sports does rentals here and cruises to Sting Ray City, glass bottom boat tour, ect. The beach was very clean, water stations throughout, very nice restrooms, staff very helpful and friendly. We snorkeled at the beach, and outside our condo every day. I did have a little trouble with the phone, but only because I didn't understand how to dial out; the property managers answered my emails and helped me through it very promptly. The entire condo area was very clean and well maintained, swimming pool was great, and the people very friendly. We have zero complaints and would absolutely visit this house again.

Cayman Getaway
The Island Houses at Rum Point are ideally located, especially if you don’t want the crowds and hustle bustle of the Seven Mile Beach area. We were in Unit 16 and the view from the lanai out back overlooking Bioluminescence Bay was amazing. We could walk to Rum Point with several eateries and bars, a gift shop, and a nice beach area complete with lounge chairs and hammocks. Snorkeling here and at Starfish Point is very good! Kayaks and bicycles were provided with the unit which was a very nice perk. The kitchen was sufficiently furnished and the furniture was very comfortable. Beds were pretty comfortable too but they need tighter fitted sheets on the 2 queen beds. It was hard to keep them on the bed and they constantly bunched up beneath you. However, this is not a deal breaker by any means. Lighting needs improved over bathroom sinks, perhaps by adding lighted makeup mirrors to the wall. Overall, a great place to vacation!

Very Nice
Property was very nice, just like described. Was within walking distance of a couple restaurants. The kayaks were very nice, used them every day. Having the bio bay out your back door was great, some nights it seemed to glow more than others so check every night. Have to find the darkest spots of the bay to see it well. Its too bad they dont have twilight hours similar to Sedona, AZ where lights in the bay must turn off at a certain time, that would really make it dark and awesome. The place is about a 40 minute drive from the airport so you will need a car if you stay on this end of the island but we drove back to Georgetown area a couple times to shop and swim at 7 mile. We got groceries at Hurleys and it was nice to do online ordering and have it ready to go when you landed. Did the stingray tour with Red sail sports right out of Rum point so didnt have to drive anywhere. Did some fishing off the dock and caught grunt fish, saw bone fish but couldnt catch them. All in all a very nice place to stay and location, would definitely stay here again.
