***Property Overview***
Welcome to Great Bluff Estates, a gated oceanfront villa set into the bluffs of Grand Cayman�s Northside.
This recently renovated 5-6 bedroom home offers a large family all they could want from excellent snorkeling steps off the backyard to a stunning elevated sundeck and private freshwater pool.
The curb appeal of Great Bluff Estates includes a cobalt-blue tiled roof, bright white stucco exterior, and a terra cotta circular driveway that can easily accommodate multiple rental vehicles.
The home offers multiple oceanfront decks and balconies, two tiers of terraced artificial grass near the shoreline, two furnished cabanas, and a new concrete path to the ocean. The beach is naturally pebbly, so the owner maintains a raked sandy area for water access.
Guests can relax in ultimate privacy as the owner owns the undeveloped lot next door to the east. The snorkeling here is amazingly diverse due to there being very few homes in the area. We tend to see spotted eagle rays, octopus, lobster, eels, and many schools of fish inhabiting the coral heads. There is also rarely any current in the waters here.

***Villa Cleaning & Sanitation***
All villas are cleaned and sanitized prior to each guest's arrival. We also ask our owners to provide a starter supply of extra cleaning products. Additional housekeeping services can be purchased after booking in 3-hour time blocks. Scheduling may be coordinated with your property manager upon arrival.
***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. Although sargassum is an unsightly nuisance, it is largely seasonal in summer. Our owners do make efforts to remove heavy sargassum and will have the beach raked prior to your arrival.
Should sargassum be extremely heavy behind your property, we will reach out to the owner for alternative solutions which may include a partial refund or relocation. We try our best to work around mother nature.
