The Cottages in East End have Award-Winning Oceanfront Cottages on Grand Cayman’s Quiet Side

If resort strips and tourist crowds are not what you came for, this is as far from them as Grand Cayman gets. Roughly 37 kilometers east of George Town, the ten individually designed cottages, from Starfish to Turtle Nest, blend traditional Cayman architecture with upscale Caribbean interiors and won Gold for Best Staycation and Silver for Best Vacation Rental in the Best of Cayman Islands awards for 2023 and 2024.

Daily breakfast is included, and select evenings bring themed nights and live entertainment, giving your trip a rhythm most rentals cannot match. The reef snorkeling is outstanding, though the beach character differs from Seven Mile Beach. Collier’s Beach is about one kilometer south, and George Town is 45 minutes west, so a rental car is highly recommended.
