***Property Overview***
Cayman Castle sits directly oceanfront on a private 2-acre gated estate and enjoys a wide white-sandy beach with fabulous snorkeling, kayaking, and sunbathing. An infinity pool, multi-tiered oceanfront terraces, a panoramic veranda balcony, and a well-shaded pool deck provide guests with plenty of room to spread out and enjoy island living.
This grand estate is not only one of the largest rental villas on the island it is also a well-known landmark given its distinct design and architecture. While we are neighbors to the Wreck of the Ten Sails Park and the police constable's residence, The Castle enjoys no residential neighbors to the north or the south for well over 500 feet in either direction.
The owner upgrades the home every fall to keep the experience not only refreshing and pleasant for repeat guests, but for newcomers to the property as well.

=====================
***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.
