***Property Overview***
Welcome to Gardens of the Kai, a seaside enclave of two-story villas, nestled on a white sandy beach with mesmerizing sunset views.
Villa #6 is the closest home to the water and has undergone a complete makeover both inside and out. A large, communal freshwater pool with sundeck and cabana sits just behind the home. Free off-street parking is also just 100 feet from the front door.
The lower level living areas and kitchen open to a generously sized screened lanai overlooking the waterfront. Furnished with an alfresco dining table the lanai faces westward for excellent sunset dinners! The living area is furnished with comfy sofa seating and a large SmartTV with cable programming.
The remodeled kitchen features modern appliances and everything you need to prepare a home-cooked meal. Cookware, dishware, glassware, and utensils are all included. A charcoal grill is also provided for beachfront cookouts.

***Getting Around***
A rental car is highly recommended. Taxi cabs are unreliable and expensive outside of town and Seven Mile Beach. Plus, there is no Uber or Lyft on the island. For rental cars, we recommend Budget Cayman, Avis, or Marshalls.
***Beach Notes***
All beaches in Grand Cayman are technically public since the Crown owns up to the high watermark. Be advised, the beach or water entry behind your property may vary slightly from the images displayed due to shifting weather and tide patterns. The next-door beach is also always available for your use. We advise guests to wear foot protection (pool socks or aqua shoes) when entering the ocean to avoid injury on coral heads, ironshore, or rocks.
***Ocean Debris & Sargassum Seaweed***
Beaches in Grand Cayman may also experience floating ocean debris and sargassum weed seasonally. Sargassum is a generally harmless floating seaweed that has increased in frequency in recent years. This is VERY RARE for homes along the Cayman Kai Cove.
