***Property Overview***
The Kai Life is a recently-renovated Caribbean-style "Island House" and sits directly between the protected Cayman Kai Cove and the beautiful Rum Point Club.

Walk across the street to restaurants, a beach bar, watersports, and a wonderful barefoot swimming beach. The Island Houses are a resort neighborhood of 18 units at the top of the cove, each with its own 2-story screened lanai. All units share a dock and a large swimming pool with a sundeck. This is resort living, but with fewer footprints and more privacy.

The Kai Life is spacious and airy with elegant comfortable furnishings. The property includes an upgraded fiber internet connection perfect for remote working professionals.

Balconies from each second-floor bedroom open to the screened lanai to allow the house to be opened up during the cooler winter months. Screened casement windows on the front also allow a breeze to flow through the house when air-conditioning is not needed.

The ground floor is open concept and includes a living and dining area, a fully equipped kitchen with stainless steel appliances, a guest powder room, a reading nook with sleeper sofa, and a laundry room with a full-sized washer and dryer. Our guests tend to spend many hours outside in the lanai. Private charcoal grill and outdoor shower behind lanai.

Access to amazing natural surroundings is at your back door overlooking popular Bioluminescent Bay. This enchanting natural wonder comes alive at night with sparkling aquatic life that can be enjoyed while kayaking at night, or you can hire one of the local tour companies for a guided tour.

Our guests also easily walk to the Kaibo Marina and restaurants for additional watersports, dining options, a coffee shop, and to catch the Cayman Ferry over to Camana Bay and Seven Mile Beach.
