"Island House #16 was just as described and provided so many opportunities just steps away from the unit. The included kayaks allowed us to explore Bio Bay and see the bioluminescence every night of our stay as well as explore just past Bio Bay towards Rum Point seeing stingrays and conchs and various fish species. The unit itself was comfortable and walkable to the beautiful Rum Point Beach Club and Restaurant….and less than a mile walk/drive/bike to Kaibo Beach Club and Starfish Point. We would definitely choose Island House 16 if we make it to the Cayman Islands again.

"This was our second visit to Grand Cayman, this time bringing my mother in law and another family member along for the ride. The house was exactly the right size for our stay, with enough beds, a spacious kitchen, and a relaxing screened back patio.We did not use the bicycles, but we did make use of the kayaks b/c it was approaching a new moon and we could go out into the bioluminescent bay at night and enjoy the glowing water whenever we wanted.If you plan to cook here, I'd recommend grabbing groceries closer to civilization before making the trek out to Rum Point. There is Chisolm's grocery nearby, but selection is smaller and prices a bit higher.Communication with the property manager was smooth and we had not issues checking in or checking out. Would stay again.

Our favorite floaty time beach in the world

Review Date: April 25, 2025

Vacation Date: April 19, 2025

"We love coming to room point because of the sand reef which we believe is the best place in the world for floaty time and we've been a lot of places in the world. This condo was perfect for us. It was extremely clean and whenever we had questions, they were answered immediately. We loved sitting outside in the screened in area every morning watching the water while enjoying our coffee. We've been here before so we knew to buy groceries before we made the trek around the island from the airport. The kitchen had everything we desired as we like staying in and cooking. The grill was immaculate, and we thought that it was brand new until we saw the cleaning ladies cleaning the other grills as people left. Like I said, it was extremely clean and very comfortable. We would love to come back and have some of our friends rent other units along there so we could get together when we wanted for meals and still had privacy. It's just one of our favorite vacation places. An extra bonus this year was the fact that the sailboats were back. So on Sundays, you have a giant party on the sandbar and other days there are jet skis, and sailboats to rent.

Review Date: March 29, 2024

Vacation Date: March 22, 2024

"My family of 5 just returned from our week at Rum Pointe. The condo is as advertised, it comes with all the amenities listed. The pool is super close by in the complex. The beach is a very short walk across the parking lot of Rum Pointe and the bar and restaurant serve some good food and drinks. The snorkeling right off the beach there is amazing-- we saw turtle, sting ray, star fish and an array of fish. Rum Pointe is a much quieter side of the island, which is ideal for families, esp those with small children. It is a 1 hr drive to 7 mile Beach and West End, though, so if you are interested in that side of the island, this is not the location for you. We met a family that was staying on 7 mile Beach and they felt it was too commercial and preferred Rum Pointe. You will want to try and get to the grocery store on the way to the condo and a car is a must. Kaibo is a 5 min drive and you can take a ferry from there to 7 mile on alternate days. We arranged a boat trip and they picked us up from there, making it super convenient. Miss paradise already!

"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.

"This was the fourth time we have stayed at one of the island houses on Grand Cayman, we have not stayed in unit 16 before but it was just as good as any other one now we have stayed in, my only gripe would be is the master bed was not the most comfortable, it was a little hard but I’m sure it comes down to personal preference and we were able to sleep ok. The island house came with a lot of great amenities such as plenty of lawn chairs, four kayaks, four bicycles and a charcoal grill alongside snorkel gear. Our only hiccup on our second day is we lost our electricity and after about four hours they were able to remedy the issue, and the owner contacted me directly to apologize and let me know it was the cities fault, other than that experience was wonderful and I highly recommend you stay at Island House, number 16.

"Wonderful with the exception of the master mattress. It was very uncomfortable. Other than that, it was perfect. We loved the view, the kayaks, the porches, and the clean spacious accommodations. We would definitely choose this place again.

"We loved our stay at the IH#16. The unit was clean and beautiful inside and out. The location is perfect and we loved the amenities. The whole family kayaked every night in the bio-luminescent bay right off the condo beach. Couldn't ask for more. Definitely come back again when we get a chance.

"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!

"We loved the location of this property and the fact that it was on the quieter side of the island, but you could still walk and bike to restaurants and activities. The unit itself was clean but had some deferred maintenance items that should be addressed.
