Hilltime

The property was gorgeous.

Perfect house for a multi-generational family vacation! Highly recomend.

Our family stayed in his lovely home 4 years ago and it is just as great this time as it was then. we have two new members of the family...a 2 1/2 year old and a year old. The house was perfect for us, the 2 year old announcing daily that she loved "my" house, "my" beach and "my" pool. The house has 4 spacious and very comfortable bedrooms plus another room with 2 sets of bunk beds. The house was immaculately clean on our arrival. The kitchen was well equipped. There were plenty of towels! Penny, the property manager, was very responsive to requests and things were taken care of very quickly.

We were a group of 4 couples in our mid-60s. The home is just lovely. Plenty of room for all of us and we spent a lot of time in the kitchen/living area. I think we saw 6 other people on the beach the whole time we were there. Very quiet and peaceful. Pool was bit cool but felt good. The beds are great! We all slept very well. Kitchen has what you need. We had groceries delivered the day we arrived and that was perfect after a long travel day. (Well worth the delivery fee.) Silver Thatch staff was great to deal with. We borrowed snorkeling gear. Do know this side of the island gets lots of wind. We didn't mind as it kept us cool. Star gazing was great. We swam all the way out to the breakers. Do suggest you wear water shoes. Coral can be sharp in places. This is our third trip to Cayman. We visit Seven Mile one time to eat and shop but that is plenty for us. Too many boat people. We loved the BBQ at Cayman Kai. So fun. Good music. We had a chef come to the house one night and that was a real treat. Highly recommend. About $100 per person. Rum Point wasn't open yet but getting close. You can still swim there, though. Yes, groceries can be pricey but hey, it's vacation in Grand Cayman. We ate breakfast in and ate late lunches. Had a few dinners out at night but spending $$$ out really isn't our thing. We were there for the atmosphere and beauty. A few bedroom doors to the deck do not open. Ask about that.

This home was everything shown in the listing. It was beautifully furnished and the view is simply spectacular! We especially appreciated having the pool because our water activities were compromised by the excessive sargasm seaweed during our visit. We visited as a group of four couples and the four bedrooms with private bathrooms in each worked perfectly. Only suggestion is to replace the pool furniture as it is getting a bit worn (I'm sure from all the beautiful sunshine!). Thank you for allowing us to stay in your exceptional home! On a separate note, the booking company was very organized. The communication leading up to the visit was spot on and they made sure we had everything in order as to visiting from another country. After arrival, the check-in process was easy and we really appreciated the complimentary snorkel equipment and use of a cooler. If we ever visit the area again, we would definitely use their services!

My family of 11, 6 adults and 5 children celebrated our 50 anniversary by booking the Hilltime villa. It was a beautiful house that accommodated our family perfectly. I would recommend this property to friends and family.

We enjoyed our stay at this beautiful house. The view was spectacular, and we loved the privacy, and having our own private beach. We spent several mornings having coffee on the beach watching the sun rise. Definitely bring water shoes, as the start of the water is very rocky. Renting kayaks was key. Unfortunately a lot of the island was still closed and pretty quiet due to Covid, we will have to come back when things are in full swing again.

Well we couldn\'t leave the island again, so we came back to Hilltime for another staycation. Better than the first as the kids knew where everything was. We love this home and even when the island reopens, we hope to come back for short stays again and again.

Great stay for New Years. Our first time renting in Rum Point. Hope we can leave the island for next year, but if not, we will be back. You will love everything about this home! Comfy beds, lots of room.

Due to Covid travel, we were not permitted to leave the island this year to go back home for Thanksgiving. So we packed our bags and headed to north side for a relaxing week in Rum Point. Wonderful home and excellent booking process. We were well taken care of.

Our family had a marvelous stay at Hilltime last week. The home is well maintained, beds comfortable and a wonderful elevated view of the ocean. The kids lover the pool as well. Wish we could have stayed longer and hope we can return soon if we can not leave the island.

Beautiful home. Great location and view. Highly recommended for anyone looking to get away this summer during the lockdown!

We had a wonderful 5 night staycation at Hilltime for our family. We were unable to leave Grand Cayman this summer for our normal Holiday. So nice to have an option locally to at least get away for a while. Thank you Scott, for helping us with the selection process. We will come again!

very nice property we loved the trip. the tv never worked, the satellite was broken and hanging, we reported it first day but it was never fixed while we were there. other than that it was great.

It’s truly the most magical place. Peaceful but close to great restaurants and stores that getting around with a car was easy. My family of five felt like we were home but in a magical paradise.

My wife and I brought two of our daughters and their husbands for a week of fun and diving. We came to get away from it all so Hilltime was the perfect place for us. Seven Mile Beach is a very busy and crowded area while Rum Point is much more laid back and quiet. The views from the house are amazing. We snorkeled right off the back beach and also at Rum Point which is only 5 minutes away. Grocery stores are reasonably close by. You can get free loaner snorkel gear, ice chest, and even a bluetooth speaker if you want. Book a boat trip with Silver Thatch while there. We went to Stingray City and a great offshore snorkel spot with Joe Linder. He is a great guide. Bob was very responsive to any questions we had.

Hilltime is a beautiful home with gorgeous views. Home is exactly as pictured. We enjoyed the quietness away from 7 mile beach. We had the ocean to ourselves. It is a little rocky so bring your water shoes. Kitchen is well equipped for preparing meals. We also enjoyed grilling and eating outside by the pool. There are a few restaurants in Rum Point that we enjoyed (Tukka, The Lighthouse and KAIBO Beach Restaurant). While visiting 7 mile beach we had a bite to eat at Sharkeez (good food, drinks and music). The owner was quick to respond to emails as we had a few questions upon arrival. We enjoyed our stay and hope to return in the future. Thank you, Mr. and Mrs. Hill for sharing your home.

Thank you so much for letting us relax and refresh in your beautiful home. We came with 3 other couples to celebrate our 30th anniversary. We snorkeled, hung out at the pool, ate great food, relaxed, walked the shoreline, laid in the hammock and slept in. Thank you again for opening your amazing home to us.

We thoroughly enjoyed our too short week here spending time with our family. The house, the beach, the sun. Even had a bit of excitement saving a visiting neighbor who got caught on the other side of the channel you warned us about. I will definitely recommend Hilltime to clients.

Had a wonderful time enjoying the sun and ocean since we live in Michigan with weather in the 0s and 20-below when we left to come to Cayman. Thank you for sharing your magnificent home with us!

We came to celebrate my 70th birthday and i am so glad that we did. Beautiful house, beach and water. The whole family wants to return.

Very much enjoyed the stay. The thought & detail of everything in your house shows how much you love Hilltime. Thanks for letting us share your slice of heaven!

This perfect house has given us a perfect holiday. Our first break in 12 years!! There is not one thing to be improved. Thank you so very much!

Location is PERFECT. Your own private beach with comfortable lounge chairs and beautiful view. Away from crowds at 7 mile beach, but close enough to Rum Point to enjoy some "Local Amenities" (Food, Cocktails, Water Sports, Charters, etc.). Property Manager is the owner, and is very helpful and responsive. Took entire family of 9 (6 Adults / 3 children) and there was plenty of room for everyone. "Grand Cayman Villas & Condos" and their "Silver Thatch Service" is OUTSTANDING. (Including in your rental costs, they offer you Cribs, High Chairs, Booster Chairs, Snorkel Equipment and a whole host of other items that you do NOT want to have to pack and bring with you, at no additional charge).

Owner is VERY responsive in any help/needs you have. House is beautiful and view is even better!!!! Quiet relaxing location with easy and quick access to Rum Point! Beach is kept clean and beautiful, but be forewarned that the water is a bit \"rocky\" right in front. (You\'ll need to wade over the rocks to get to a more sandy soft spot). House has all the amenities you need, and what it doesn\'t have \"Silver Thatch Services\" can probably provide. Highly recommended!

If I could leave a 6th Star I would. My wife selected this house over a year ago to spend our 30th Wedding Anniversary here for 9 days with 3 other couples. The location is perfect with a beautiful beach and snorkeling out front, and a beautiful pool out back. The entire property is well maintained and Bob Hill was great to work with and answered any questions we had while we were there. Each of the 4 bedrooms has their own balcony area overlooking the beach, and there is more than ample outdoor seating and chase lounges throughout the property. The kitchen was very well stocked with service for 8+ with everything you need. Our favorite area was the great room overlooking the beach where we spent a lot of time playing games, eating and drinking. Our only difficulty was choosing to spend time at the pool or the beach. Rum Point Beach with a couple restaurants and stores is a little over half mile away, and an easy walk. This part of the Island was really nice and quiet. We hope to return someday with our entire family. You won\'t be disappointed.

We generally rent villas for our vacations. Hill time was by far, the best ever. To begin with, it was immaculate. No offensive smells or heavy air fresheners. All rooms were beautifully appointed with quality furnishings and accessories. The kitchen was amazing. So often, you come to expect less than desirable equipment in rental kitchens. Not so with Hilltime. Each room had a view of the sea. We ate alfresco every meal. When the wind got up we dined poolside. The water was not the pristine beach as at 7 mile beach, but the lack of crowds more than made up for it. We cannot say enough about the quality of this villa. The owners should be proud.

I’m not sure where to begin. I’m a professional travel advisor & have booked vacations for clients and my family for years but this one was really special. We LOVED Hilltime. The house was perfect for our needs; we are a family of 3 adult couples & my mother-in-law. Each bedroom has it’s on bathroom which was perfect. We loved the open concept and had some wicked games of Great Dahlmudie at the big table. The beach area is perfect & was cleaned of the annoying grass/seaweed twice during our stay. If it’s windy out it’s hard to kayak or snorkel there but when the winds subside it’s perfect. We used the kayaks & snorkeled by the reef & channel. Speaking of the channel; the owner Bob warned us to be careful by it as the tow can be fierce. I don’t think the people renting the house to the west of us were warned about this. They took a kayak over the reef & ended up in the water. My husband & son-in-law were able to get out there & bring them back safely. It was pretty scary though. In short, this was a great vacation & we LOVED Hilltime.

Thank you so much for the use of your beautiful home. Everything was perfect! We truly did not want to leave your Cayman paradise! Thank you for your hospitality. We hope to be back in the future!

Spent my 60th birthday celebration with 7 of girlfriends and from the time he hit the front door we were delighted with every aspect of the house. The house manager Robert was awesome. Anything we needed he was available to assist us. And by the way the pictures on the website don’t begin to do this house justice. Loved the pool and beach also.

We loved our time at Hilltime, the house was magnificent. The pool was great and the view was truly a million dollar view. The owners are amazing and are always handy with tips and advice about the island.

Hilltime is an absolutely beautiful home which we enjoyed tremendously. From the fantastic views to beautiful rooms, we were thrilled to get exactly what was presented. Although the sargassum weed was in town, we enjoyed all aspects of the home, pool, beach, Rum Point and beyond. Silver Thatch staff was very accommodating and great to work with!

We stayed at Hilltime for a family graduation celebration. The entire experience with renting the home was very positive. We were well-communicated with prior to, during and after the vacation by the realty company and there were no surprises. The house was lovely - very comfortable and perfect for our gathering. The kitchen is well-appointed with high-end finishes and appliances and the bedrooms/bathrooms were very nice as well. The pool area was great and the beach was fantastic. If you rent this home and like to snorkel, just be careful of the current that flows through the passage out front. Our teenagers got caught a bit unaware of the challenge out there and had a bit of a scare. Overall a lovely home and great for vacation!

Hilltime is a spectacular property with amazing sea views, large open spaces, large bedrooms and a very well appointed kitchen with every gadget you might need. The four bed, four bath villa was perfect for us and our three adult children and their partners. The location at Rum Point was exactly what we wanted for relaxing, diving and sailing. It is well away from the hustle and bustle of Seven Mile Beach. The Wreck Bar at Rum Point, about a mile from Hilltime, was lots of fun. Two miles or so away is Starfish Beach and the Kaibo Yacht Club where we were picked up for diving and sailing. The only suggestion for the unit is a larger sofa in the living area. The cable system was out when we arrived but we called and the problem was fixed the next morning. Everyone we interacted with was very courteous and responsive to our needs. We loved the hammock under the coconut trees and the swimming pool!

This was our first time on Grand Cayman and friends recommended the Rum Point area to us. The management company was helpful in directing us to the right home based on our family needs. We were so pleased with our choice of Hilltime! The home far exceeds the photos, especially the open living area and kitchen! All of the bedrooms had wonderful views. Obviously the owners take great care of their home. It shows in every aspect. The beach was wonderful and we spent every afternoon in the water, snorkeling, swimming and kayaking. We saw literally thousands of fish. The Rum Point area is perfect for families. We spent time at Rum Point Club and the Kaibo Marina. Both have activities, sun and shade. The kids loved Rum Point. We loved the location and the rum drinks!!! We will come back to Grand Cayman and we will come back to Hilltime!!!

Our group of 4 couples stayed at Hilltime in May. The house was perfect for couples; 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms allowing everyone their own space. Upon request, one bedroom was set up from twin/twin to a king for the 4th couple. The house had every needed amenity; appliances all high end, kitchen items all top quality and lacked for nothing. Lots of extras normally not found in vacation rentals like spices, oils, water cooler dispenser (no need for bottled water) and good supply of basic items normally not supplied. The extra den/TV room was very nice with a comfy sectional. The views from every bedroom and main living area was the best feature of the house! Having our own private sandy beach was a treat; clean of natural sea debris compared to some of the neighboring properties. Tip:bring water shoes as ocean entry is rocky with coral, bring bug spray for early morning, dusk & evenings. We ordered delivery from Italian Kitchen (east end) on the night of our arrival; delicious. We enjoyed a full moon dinner at Tukka; very special; dinners at Kaibo and Rum Point; pricey but great atmosphere/tasty. Another highlight of our trip was the private silver thatch charter for snorkeling and sting ray beach. Only some minor suggestions: have house temp set at comfortable level upon arrival (our first night was unbearably hot, but we were told thermostat was mistakenly not lowered as the house had not been used the week prior). Would be nice to provide larger beach towels vs. bath size towels for the beach; and provide instructions for thermostat and dishwasher as we had some user issues. We did need to call the house manager a few times; when the alarm system went off on our arrival (we were not given the code/instructions before we arrived for some reason; the security system works very well, extremely loud and the security company called immediately); we needed thermostat help; and to get a net to skim the pool. Our issues, however, were resolved very quickly.
