Kailypso
Welcome to Kailypso, a 3-bedroom beachfront villa in Cayman Kai located on Bio Bay.
Measuring over 2,800 square feet with spectacular outdoor spaces, cozy interiors, and a secluded beach, this popular villa is the perfect destination for family vacations and group getaways.
Nestled among tall palm trees and lush tropical plants, Kailypso’s waterfront pool and patio create a tropical oasis. Plenty of loungers dot the pool deck for sunbathers to kick back and work on their tans.
After hours under the sun, cool off with a refreshing dip in the pool or seek shade on the screened-in porch. A concrete pathway leads you down from the pool deck onto a soft sandy beach with a private boat dock. Beach lovers will love this slice of paradise.
Take full advantage of the villa's private dock by booking a charter to Stingray City. Request to be picked up and dropped off right on your dock for the ultimate charter experience!
Two single kayaks are provided during your stay. During the day, launch from the dock and explore the calm surrounding waters of Cayman Kai.
Then, on moonless nights, take the kayaks out and watch the water glow with light as you paddle. Bio Bay is one of the few bioluminescent bays in the world making it an unforgettable experience.
Kailypso’s three bedrooms include a primary suite with an ensuite bathroom and two additional bedrooms with a shared bathroom between them.

by RobertOur fourth Visit
by FritzFull disclosure I am in the Hotel business as a Hotel Operator and Developer, so when my wife and I get to travel with and hopefully without kids, we prefer to stay in homes as I'm in hotels every day. I am also keenly aware of the type of service you receive when booking, we always book through rental agencies because of incredible service compared to Air BnB or VRBO. We booked our fourth Trip Kailypso in Spring of 2019, and due to covid we were finally able to return in 2022, which was too long as Kailypso has become our "southern cabin." We just wrapped up our fourth visit to this charming private home and it was as good as it's ever been. This is the perfect place for a couple or small family. Private, calm waters, out of the wind and walking distance to everything you need. We spend our days at the pool or Rum Point Club, bone fishing in the mornings and this year, much to our pleasure at the new Silverthatch service center. This new feature from Silverthatch made our trip, access to a gym, concierge service, and free rentals of snorkel gear, blue tooth speaker, coolers made this destination even better. I hope to return multiple times every year to this location. Feel free to reach out to myself with any personal questions you may have or references. fritz.heller@nmhmhotels.com

The entire island is only 22 miles wide from west to east, so you are never too far from anywhere on Grand Cayman.
The cove-front homes in Cayman Kai offer calm serene water for docking a rental boat, private charter pick-up if the villa has a dock, or just safe shallow water along the edge swimming for little children. Adults won’t swim in the cove—Rum Point is too nice by comparison—the water is shallow and has a softer bottom and there is no reef here for fish life...but we do see the occasional turtle, eagle ray, or tarpon swim by in the shallows!
Another benefit is that we rarely get any seaweed in the cove so the beaches stay cleaner than the oceanfront beaches.
The beaches are flat white barefoot sand. The big draw to this area is the proximity to the Rum Point Club, a public beach club within a short walk that offers a fantastic barefoot beach, many water sports, a restaurant and bar, gift shop and pick-up beach volleyball games. Also nearby is the Kaibo, a beachfront restaurant, bar, and marina.
Lastly, about 20 minutes east there are 2 large resorts--Morritt's and The Reef--that offer manicured beaches, plus restaurants, a grocery store, liquor store, gift shops, a Subway sandwich shop, the Italian Kitchen Restaurant. These two resorts also offer scuba, snorkel trips, jet ski rentals, windsurfing, kiteboarding, oceanfront pools, and bar service.
General Grand Cayman Beach Notes
All beaches in Grand Cayman are technically public since the Crown owns up to the high water mark.
The shoreline quality behind your property may vary slightly from the images on our website due to shifting tides and weather patterns. The next-door beach is also always available for your use.
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 over the years during the summer. Our owners do make efforts to remove heavy sargassum and will have the beach raked prior to your arrival.
Should sargassum weed 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.
