Island House

Most visitors to Grand Cayman never leave Seven Mile Beach. Island House is for the ones who do. These spacious two-bedroom villas sit on the bioluminescent bay at Rum Point — one of the only places in the Caribbean where you can paddle a kayak through water that glows at night, then walk across the road for a beach day at Rum Point the next morning.

Island House: Beachside Villa on the Bioluminescent Bay at Rum Point

What sets Island House apart is the bioluminescent bay. With complimentary kayaks, you can paddle out on moonless nights into water that lights up electric blue with every stroke. Guests call it the most memorable experience of their trip, and you do it from your own backyard instead of on a paid tour.

The North Side and Rum Point area is quiet and secluded, with a few restaurants and a small grocery, so a rental car is essential. In exchange, you get no crowds, no construction noise, and some of the clearest water on the island.

Why Stay at Island House

The two-bedroom, two-bathroom villas are about 1,500 square feet and sleep up to six, genuine house-sized space for two couples or a family. Each has central AC, a washer and dryer, a full kitchen, and bay, pool, or garden views.

  • Bioluminescent bay at your doorstep — complimentary kayaks for paddling through glowing water on moonless nights, no tour needed
  • Rum Point beach across the road — beach bar, hammocks, watersports, and a restaurant a one-minute walk away
  • On-site amenities — pool, tropical garden, and free parking
  • Distances — George Town and Seven Mile Beach are 40 to 50 minutes by car, so a rental car is essential; water taxis from the Kaibo dock cross to Camana Bay
