Quiet Paradise
If you are looking for a quiet, family paradise then look no further. We were so thrilled with our Condo! It was absolutely perfect for our family. Every morning my husband and I would wake up, make ourselves a coffee, and walk mere steps to, sometimes, our own private beach. The palm trees provided shade from the sun and the beach chairs were there waiting for us. An hour later our teenagers would emerge with their snorkel gear and would head into the water and see numbers of turtles, sting rays and schools of tropical fish. It was amazing! Spotts beach was in an area of Grand Cayman that was away from the hustle and bustle of 7 mile, and George Town but close enough for us to drive to and check out other spots on the Island. Our favourite place though, was Spotts beach. We loved coming back to our oasis. The Condo was perfect for us. Our teenage girls took over the loft, which had a bunk bed, a double bed, and a bathroom to themselves. The kitchen was stocked and a nearby grocery store, Hurleys, stocked our fridge. The Condo also had beach chairs, umbrella, beach towels, and a cooler for us to take out for the day when we visited other beaches. We cried saying good bye to our condo for 10 days. The best family vacay ever!!

We love the Island. This Condo is in the perfect location . Food, groceries and restaurant's are close by. The beach is breath taking ,Snorkelling with sea turtles is amazing. The property manager Melinda was the best. There wasn't a kettle on on site. She dropped out her personal one for us. We had a issue with the water pipe. She told us about the water before we even knew it wasn't working. She work Diligently, keeping us notified until it was fixed with minimum disruption. She offered many suggestions as things to so on the island and restaurants. We have been to the island many of time and this is our second time at this condo. We love everything about it. Cannot wait to come back.

Family vacation
Overall, the description matched what we expected completely, the place was clean and comfortable, the location is supreme (Spotts Beach). The property manager and owner were both very helpful and responsive. Our only issue was that our expectations of the pool were very different than the reality. You have to cross a busy road to use it, and it was depressing and dirty. So that was a big disappointment to our daughter as the pool was a large part of our decision to rent a place. We made dueand the beach was terrific, but the pool description should be more realistic.

Fantastic beach and snorkle area.
The Coral Bay properties are located in what we believe is the nicest spot on the island. We hate crowds and like to enjoy the beach and ocean in peace and quiet. We also enjoy snorkeling and you can't have a nicer spot than right in front of the property. Sea turles are plentiful and and an outer reef keeps the wave action low. We can't say enough about how wonderful this beach area is. The unit was clean with a well appointed kitchen and a very comfortable bed. To make our stay even better, the manager communicated with us immediately and was always offering to do anything to make our stay better. The property is also fairly close to Georgetown, the airport, and nearby shopping centers. You have to have a car but they also have reserved parking for your unit. The area is well lit, well maintained, and offers fantastic sunsets. You be thinking about booking a return trip soon after you check out.

Perfection
The condo is perfectly located centrally to everything. Half way to Rumpoint and half way to north Westbay with George Town being even closer. Only 15 minutes to just about everything. There is a grocery store and great restaurants (chicken chicken and Cimboco) just 1 mile away. The beach was very private and quite. Most of the time is was just the 2 of us out on the beach. Definitely secluded. The snorkeling is just meh. Better snorkeling on north side of island. However, I did get to swim with a sea turtle just 20 yards from the shore. That was awesome. Bring your own gear though. The condo’s gear is more for smaller kids and most of the goggles were cracked or leaked water. Over-all 5 star tho for location, secluded, privacy, cleanliness and air conditioning!!!!

I spent a considerable amount of time familiarizing myself with the island as this was my first visit. After a full assessment, this location was ideal for me and my stay. Centrally located one what I consider the most beautiful stretch of beach on the island. The locals were friendly and always willing to help. Kelly greeted me upon arrival and was right there if I had any questions or needs.

Lovely Oceanfront Property
The property was great! Condo was well-equipped and in a great location and with a lovely view of a very pretty beach. It was just a few minutes from Georgetown, about half an hour to West Bay, about the same to the far East end of the island, 45 minutes to Rum Point. Snorkeling in front of the unit was okay. The snorkeling overall on GC was not as good as it was about 10 years ago, but still better than several other spots I've been to.

Amazing vacation
The condo was perfect for our family of 5. Beautiful private beach, turtles, sting rays and away from the hustle but close enough to George Town. The condo has a well stocked kitchen, 8 beach towels, 2 beach chairs, 2 snorkel sets, a float, boogie board, games, books and lots of suggestions in the guest book. We also enjoyed the pool in the afternoon, but there is no shade there. The balcony is wonderful but no screen so the bugs come out in the evening. All stores and restaurants convert to USD and I assume you can get a better exchange rate if you brought Cayman dollars from home. Be sure to explore the island- everything is so accessible and easy to get to from the condo.

A beautiful place to relax.
The location was perfect for us as we wanted to explore the entire island and this gave a very convenient, central base. The bustle of Georgetown was only minutes away but this area felt more rural and was really the gateway to the whole east end of the island. The view and the beach were wonderful- a perfect place to relax on the sand in the shade of palm trees or swim in the warm waters. Our only minor complaint would be that the bathtub fawcets felt like they were going to fall off and the shower diverter didn't work well.

Love this spot!!
Every day, we woke up, went straight to the balcony with coffee in hand, and absorbed the sound of the ocean and the trees. Then we'd grab gear and go snorkeling with the turtles, an occasional ray and quite a few fish! Every day! It on the Spotts Beach and basically your private beach. Great rooms, good kitchen, position geographically with access to the 7 mile beach or Rum Point - if you're searching for another beach, or if you go to the Crystal Caves, which we did and they were great!

location was good for us
Location was in the middle for us of attractions and things we wanted to accomplish. Did not ever meet the property manager as we could not use the WhatsApp app and we only could communicate through email but that was not ideal for her. so we do feel like we missed out on some opportunities a local would have been able to inform us about. However we had a good time anyway. We purchased 2 sets of snorkel and mask and left them for future guests to use so hopefully they will still be there as they are expensive to purchase and renting them is not close by but about a 15 min. drive (unless morning rush hour then it is longer to drive) and you can only rent daily so if you want the most use you will need to get to eden rock diving rentals in Georgetown early ( 8 am open) as you must return by 5pm so driving there twice a day to get and return is not ideal. I highly recommend wearing water shoes as some sharp coral and other shell objects can hurt if stepped on. Saw some turtles and fish snorkeling in water. even saw live conch shells which you cannot take (live ones) but awesome to see in the water. bring your own shampoo and soap for the shower. Grocery stores are closed on Sundays which we were not aware of so purchase foods before that. ( no food items were found in the condo left by others not even condiments like ketchup, or salt & pepper- only some coffee was left.) Hurley's grocery store is great as it has a salad bar, hot food item bar to purchase for quick meals. Foster's grocery store is a 4 min. drive. We enjoyed Cimboco restaurant for breakfast and Dinner and is also a 4 min. drive. Eating out can get expensive if you do not have cayman $. US $ is less desirable and prices are in cayman $ so it is more expensive than what you see listed when you get your bill and most restaurants automatically charge 15% tip even if 1 person in party so pay attention to that as well. we used Marshall's rental car company and the car was kind of crappy but got us around and cheaper than other places. in/out of the airport was a breeze. if you want cayman $ it is easiest to go to a grocery store to purchase an item and they only have cayman $ to give you as change. Most banks do not do currency exchange which we found odd after going to the 3rd one and they would not do it. A officer at the last bank we tried told us the grocery store tip. Camana Bay has a great Italian restaurant called Pane & Pasta I recommend and a great pastry place across from it.

This was a great condo! The location was a little away from the bustle of 7 mile which we loved. Faces the beach and water is so close. The view was amazing!! Beach was really nice, though a bit of weed beds to negotiate, but easily done. Really clean beach, raked regularly. Condo has everything we need, really enjoyed having our own washer/dryer. Parking a little cramped but doable. Never needed the loft beds but handy having a small but second bathroom. Snorkelling not too bad. Saw a number of critters, but best snorkelling is a little ways to swim. I ranged out quite far but short of the buoys that mark where possible currents are. Really cool formations out closer to buoys. Great place. Would definitely go again. Bed comfy. Nice covered lanai with fan. Great place, though a slight smell of mustiness when we first arrived; never really noticed after first day. Grocery stores really close. Had everything we needed. Still close enough to town for evening forays to restaurants. Phone did not work and neither would my phone for some reason. Melissa helped out making reservation for us. Tennis nice. Never used the small pool...why would we with the ocean? It is across the busy street anyway. Well equipped! Loved it!! So tranquil!!!

Our second time staying here - after loving our stay so much we had to come back for more. The apartment was perfect - it was fully equipped with everything you could need - full kitchenware, comfortable beds, fresh linen and overall amazing attention to detail with a little bookshelf with plenty of board games, a range of books for everyone, sun hats, beach towels and even a cool bag for keeping your water cool on day trips out. Also the best view on the island of the sea and palms on the balcony for dinner. We really appreciated the effort that was made to make our stay as comfortable and easy as possible - it really felt like a home from home. We will be back to Coral Bay to lie on the gorgeous beach and swim with the turtles as soon as we can!!

Terrific time with turtles
We had an amazing time on our vacation! The condo was fantastic. The location on the island was perfect - we visited the front beach daily, and also traveled around the island. With the central location, everything was within about 30 minutes. The condo was well equipped and we ate in for breakfast and a few lunches and dinners. It was the perfect size for us and our two teenagers. Melinda was an excellent concierge and had great insight/recommendations when we had questions. We recommend this condo and would definitely visit again. Spotts Beach was lovely - each day we saw turtles. We also saw a few sting rays and a lots of other unusual fish. Two things to know ahead of time - the pool is across a busy street and not the most attractive. We only went one night and didn't stay. Also, the exit is tight and it's a little tricky pulling the car out. Neither of those got in the way of our good time, and we would definitely stay here again.

Top Ten Trip
My husband and I have visited and stayed all over the Caribbean and Mexico, and this was, by far, one of the best. I was actually crying as our flight was departing. The property is small, but perfect for 2 to 4 people, and you can't beat the location right on one of the cleanest, quietest beaches we've ever seen. We were 5 minutes from an exceptional grocery store, which is a highlight for me because I like to cook on vacation, and the kitchen was well-stocked with most everything we needed. The unit and entire complex and property are extremely well-maintained, no easy feat in a seaside environment. The property manager, Melinda, was a delight and very responsive to any questions we had. Please don't miss the opportunity to swim with and hold the stingrays. It is truly the experience of a lifetime, and there is nothing to be afraid of. They are incredibly gentle. We didn't eat out much, but our favorite restaurants were Veranda at the Marriott in 7 Mile Beach and Casanova Restaurant in George Town. Both outstanding food and service with breathtaking views.

A beautiful waterfront oasis
We had the strange luck of staying at this property during the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic... so our stay was probably far from typical. That said, the condo itself was everything that was advertised and more! There were plenty of supplies, from towels, to linens, to kitchen staples. The beach was beautiful, the water was amazing, and the view was incredible. We rented a car and felt that the location was just about perfect as a "home base" from which to explore the island. Georgetown and the Seven Mile beach area were a short drive away, as were other locations such as the blowholes and the Botanic Gardens. The property manager made herself available whenever needed and gave some much appreciated recommendations for restaurants, grocery stores, and attractions. This was our first time in the Cayman Islands and based on this experience we're hoping it's far from our last!

Great rental with awesome beach and central location
Really enjoyed our stay here. The beach was perfect for relaxing and snorkeling (turtles practically guaranteed, just watch the water for a while and you'll see a head poke up). The section in front of the building was very quiet and we often had this part of the beach to ourselves. The condo was clean and well appointed, with just the right touch of Caribbean flavor. The best part of this rental, though, was the central location. We never felt far from anywhere, and that was a huge plus for our first visit. Kids appreciated the short drives too. Cruise ships did anchor out front the last two days as George Town was too rough, but it was a neat change on the horizon. That said, glad they weren't there the whole week!
