Hidden Cove

We absolutely loved this property...there are a few suggestions to improve it even further, but we have stayed at many, many homes in the Cayman Kai area over the years, and have become quite discerning and have high expectations. The first would be to acquire a second fridge/freezer combo in the garage if necessary, the main fridge struggled to accomodate the needs of adults in a 6-bedroom house for a week. Similarly, parking at the house posed an issue for us as residents, with only sufficient space for 4 small cars. Secondly, the amazing pool and deck could be improved further by adding shade sails for more protection from the morning-to-mid-afternoon sun. Also, a refresh to the citronella candles outside is desperately needed. A larger bbq grill could also help....but like I said, we are quite picky! Otherwise, the house is well equipped.

Everything was beautiful, aside from the stove, we were not able to use any other pots to cook for 12 people, i would recommend bigger pots are needed. Linens need to be of better quality. We were not made aware that gas needed to be purchased for the grill. Property manager was very helful. Too much day light in the rooms, so no one was able to get much needed rest. Dark curtains are recommended. I will most definately rent again once recommendation are sorted.

Hidden Cove had everything we could have ever wanted. We were a family of 9 and everyone had a quiet place to sleep! The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed! The kayaks and bikes provided hours of entertainment for all. We used the pool everyday - kids loved waking up and jumping in! Even out 12 week old grandson spent a little time there! The location was perfect - we loved walking to the Kaibo coffee shop for breakfast and spending afternoons at Rum Point! Drinks were fabulous and workers very friendly. While here we snorkeled with the turtles at Spotts Bay, visited Georgetown, took a boat excursion with Blair at Blue Haven charter, and spent many enjoyable evenings with family members also here for Christmas. We ate at Over the Edge, Kaibo, Eagle Ray, Lighthouse, Rum Point, Margaritaville! All wonderful dining experiences complete with typical ‘Island Charm’! We have been visiting this beautiful for years and it never disappoints! Hidden Cove was such a great property for our family - something for Everyone! Many thanks to the owners for thinking of Everything! God willing - we will return!

This is the perfect adventuring house! Has tons of extra amenities other home don't like bikes and kayaks that you can take right into the cove. We loved hanging outside by the pool and cove. From Hidden Cove, you can walk to Starfish Point and Rum Point Club. Kids loved both quite a bit. We also really enjoy the bioluminescent bay tour. The water lights up like stars. Really really cool. Hidden Cove is a nice vacation home if you\'re looking for a nice private vacation.

This is the perfect family home. They offer 10 bikes and four kayaks which was perfect for us because our kids love to be adventurous. We also booked a charter to see the Stingrays which they loved. This home is very private and allows our family to create great memories together. We look forward to our trip to Hidden Cove every year. Beautiful home.

Karen is the best...check out Oceans for fishing...use the kayaks, walk across the street at night and see bioluminescent bay. Fairy water is what we are calling it! Easy walk to Kaibo's and Rum Point.

This area is great for a quieter family getaway. We totally enjoyed the peace and quiet. All that we require was within 20 minutes drive. We enjoyed the ferry to Camana Bay and a couple of beach dinners at Kaibo Marina. The snorkeling was great anywhere we went and driving the east shore is a must. My first taste of Caribbean life sold me, I'll be back

House is perfect for a group of 12. We all enjoyed the bikes, walks, kayaks, cooking equipment and space. Master Bedroom and Bath were super and hopefully TV's will work in all the rooms next time not just the one in the living room. Any calls we made to property manager was immediately answered and most politely. We would definitely stay here again and found the entire booking along with all other information most helpful. The mainstaysailing.com Catamaran outing you recommended was the highlight of our trip. Thanks for making our family vacation such a memorable one.

We had a great time relaxing at the pool, riding the bikes to Rum Point beach, kayaking and hanging out at the Kaibo Yacht club.  The house was well designed for both privacy and family time.  Kitchen had everything we needed and the Grand Cayman Villas team helped us find the services we needed.  Chef Remy and his team were wonderful.  Great meals and wonderful presence.  The house is on the North side of the island, the quiet and privacy and lack of competition for resources were just what we needed.

We had a great experience at Hidden Cove.  Well appointed kitchen and great layout, allowing ample time together and privacy.  Use of the kayaks and bikes was great.  We found a boat in the garage- wish it had been available to us.  Loved the quietness of this side of the island.  With Rum Point beach in walking or biking distance, and tours leaving from Kiabo, this location was ideal.  Weather was outstanding, sun is strong- got a serious tan without even trying.   Must see the view from Pedro point at Pedro St. James- spectular

Absolutely perfect place for family vacation!  Plenty of room for everyone!  Pool was fantastic too.  Scott and crew were easy to work with and made the process smooth and painless!  Definitely recommend!

No kidding.  We were so excited the minute we got off the plane.  The temp was fantastic, hot by our standards in Minnesota!  The villa was very nicely decorated and comfortable.  Bathrooms were large and the air conditioners worked well.  Evenings had a nice breeze.  We were worried about mosquitos but never had an issue while we were there.  Rum Point was a nice safe location - our kids walked to and from rum point with no issues.  Very little local traffic only.  Snorkeling, diving, swimming, eating, tours and excursions were fabulous.  We hope to return again.

So nice to get away from cold and snow!!!  First of all what a nice island!  This was our first time to Grand Cayman and we were pleasantly surprised at how nice everyone on the island was! 

The home was perfect for our needs as we had 4 children from 11-15 yrs old.  They never found a boring moment - always things to do.  We travelled around the island by rental car - a must for anyone coming for their first trip.  Crystal Caves, botanical gardens and blow holes were among our favorites.  But the most fun was taking a Red Sail boat to stingray sandbar to literally play with stingrays!!!  This is a must for anyone going to Cayman.  We also loved kayaking at night in bio bay - still amazed by the glowing waters!

Please let this short review act as our recommendation to anyone looking at this home and Grand Cayman as a place to spend their vacation.  We loved it and will return!

4 adults and 6 children - Can't thank you enough for sharing your lovely home with us for our Spring break trip this year.  The kids loved the home and the adults enjoyed our time with friends as well.  Everyone seemed to find their space and we never felt on top of one another.  The boys spent hours kayaking and the girls sat by the pool.  Everyone enjoyed walking to rum point for meals and drinks.  The Silver Thatch card provided with the rental was a nice money saver.  We could not have been happier with the home, the decor, cleanliness upon arrival, professional management tean, start to finish.  We recommend Hidden Cove and Grand Cayman Villas!

We had two families with ages ranging from 8 months to grandparents.  There was plenty for us to do at the home.  Several games were there and the kayaks were used every day.  Having a pool was a plus for the children.  Walks to rum point were easy and we went threre pretty much every day.  The home was stocked with everything we needed as we cooked at home most nights.  We did have dinner at rum point club and at the kaibo on two nights.  Booth experiences were rewarding.  We will return - just not soon enough!

We stayed at Hidden Cove for a week in October.  The weather was fine - we had been worried about that time of year, but it was hot and sunny during our stay!  The home itself is in a fantastic location, close to barefoot swimming at Rum Point, close to sea excursions from the Kaibo, kayaking in bio bay, snorkeling and swimming at starfish point, etc.  We had 9 adults and never felt cramped at all.  Highly recommended!

We have just returned from this beautiful property with nothing but regrets that our stay couldn't have been longer.  We had the most amazing time and the amenities at this quiet beautiful home were amazing.  We had many firsts from riding the bikes to Star Fish Point to experience our early morning private (natural) viewing of star fish and sting rays to kayaking out into the bay; which were both generously offered free by the owner.  Kaibo and Rum Point are "a must see" especially during sunset and within walking/biking distance.  The north side of the island is very quiet and not at all crowded.  We use VRBO often and this home owner couldn't have been easier/nicer to deal with.  We are already planing a return to this once in a lifetime paradise.

Very quiet street, short walks to Kaibo Restaurant and coffee, Rum Point Beach and Star Fish point.  Amenities abound including: Internet, pool, 6 bicyles, several kayaks for the use of the guests.

From the back of the house, one can access the bay for kayaking, to the beach or among the mangroves or to a larger bay from an access point across the street.  Having the bikes available has been a plus because we used them in the morning for a leasurely ride to Kaibo coffee shop for coffee on the available tables only about 10 ft from the gentle surf, listening to the breeze hustling through the palm trees and see pines, watching perhaps Georgetown in the distance. 

Also having the kayaks allowing us to experience the Bioluminescent Bay, which is literally across the street, 25 yards or so away.  This is one of the 7 only bioluminescent bays in the WORLD.  Here it is, only 25 yards from this house.  As you move your hand or the oar in the water, your hand and the oars suddenly glow in the dark water.  Without the kayaks, renters have to find a way to get into the middle of the bay to experience this, in the late evening, but here the owner was kind enough to supply them as free amenities.  So it is just a matter of carrying the kayaks 25 yards across the street to an opening to get into the bay and you are in the middle of a wonder of our world.  The bay itself is not very deep, only about 6 ft and the water is very calm and protected.  The owner also provides life jackets as well..Nice touch.

The roads around the north side of grand cayman is not very crowded so the use of the bike is a real pleasure as one can enjoy the short ride around this section of town.  The back of the house where the pool is, is shaded from the afternoon sun, so we can sit in the shade, enjoying the pool without getting burned by the sun.  I just simply felt asleep in one of the lounge chair, not worrying about getting too hot. This is a well designed modern home. Enjoyable to stay.
