Gardens of the Kai 1 -Luxuriously decorated beachfront unit-by Cayman Villas!

Nestled within the prestigious enclave of Cayman Kai on the tranquil North side of the island, The Gardens of the Kai complex offers a serene retreat away from the hustle and bustle of George Town and Seven Mile Beach, while still providing easy access to quality restaurants and an array of recreational and eco-tourism activities.

Cayman Kai embodies the quiet, serene essence of the island, and is a 45-55 minute drive from Owen Roberts International Airport in George Town., as it follows the coast around Grand Cayman.

Comprising 16 standalone condos, The Gardens of the Kai showcases the finest beach in Cayman Kai, ensuring a vacation experience from sunrise to sunset. Each unit exudes a relaxed and tranquil ambiance with breathtaking views and lush tropical gardens.

Unit #1, fondly named 'Three Little Birds', has been refurbished and modernized (April 2025), and offers an exceptional blend of luxury, privacy and waterfront proximity. Step out onto the large screened porch and instantly find yourself transported to paradise. Crystal-clear blue waters, gentle breezes, and swaying coconut trees envelop your senses. A pristine freshwater swimming pool with shaded seating awaits, inviting you to enjoy a refreshing dip or dine al fresco in the island breeze.

Inside, 'Three Little Birds' features 2 bedrooms and 2 ensuite bathrooms adorned with Caribbean-style furnishings within a beautifully open floor plan. Complimentary kayaks, a paddleboard, and bicycles await your exploration of the area by land or sea, with the renowned Starfish Point and Kaibo Restaurant & Bar just a short stroll away.

The fully equipped kitchen, complete with a microwave, dishwasher, blender, and coffee maker, ensures you feel right at home. A convenient full-sized washer/dryer is also provided for your comfort, allowing you to freshen up swimsuits and towels at day's end.

Ascending to the second floor, you'll find the expansive master suite boasting a private balcony, king-size bed, television, and luxurious ensuite bathroom with double sinks, a spacious walk-in shower, and a separate tub and toilet. The guest bedroom offers ample space with two queen beds, a walk-in closet, and a well-appointed ensuite bathroom.

Floor-to-ceiling sliding doors open seamlessly onto the porch from both the kitchen and the spacious living and dining area, offering million-dollar views of the sea and sky. This is the perfect spot to unwind and witness stunning sunsets while savoring a cup of coffee or a glass of wine—truly a magical retreat in Grand Cayman!

Beautiful property at a stunning location

We were thrilled with our stay at this property. The location is ideal - we loved walking out the front door to swim, kayak and paddle board everyday. The house is beautifully furnished - brand new furniture, comfortable beds and a well equipped kitchen. We walked to Kaibo every morning for coffee and could continue on to starfish beach if we wished. Rum point had great boat trip options -- no need to drive to Seven Mile for that. Conveniently located to explore both ends of the island, We cannot wait to come back!

Perfection

An absolute perfect stay on the Caribbean. Condo was newly updated with lovely furnishings, kitchen was great and location cannot be beat…..I’ve never had to take so few steps to my beach chair. Aside from the TV being hard to work & some of the beach loungers being uncomfortable, truly a great spot. Hoping to come back!!!!!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved staying at Gardens of the Kai! The location is great - we enjoyed the quieter side of the island. It was super convenient to go to Rum Point to get a boat to Stingray City. We also went fishing with a guide that picked us up at the Kano dock. We did a lot of kayaking from shore - we kayaked to the bio bay, starfish point, and to a great snorkeling spot offshore. We loved sitting in the screen porch for morning coffee and late night drinks. Gardens of the Kai was a beautiful area and so relaxing.

Perfect location

Incredible views right on the beach. No crowds on this part of the island. Only shared the beach with one other couple. Found starfish right off the beach. Good food and a grocery store were just a short drive away. One very good restaurant was walking distance across the street. Incredible sunsets each night. Highly recommend.

Peaceful Beach Lounging

Property was clean and comfortable, and the location was perfect. Walking right out onto the beach is just what we were looking for. Beautiful sunsets, and an acceptable drive into the city for excursions. Had an issue with the AC one afternoon, and the property manager had a technician out to get it fixed in a matter of hours, no trouble at all. Loved it!

This place is nice. Kitchen well stocked. Wish they have a few beach chairs that we could take with us while beach hopping. But overall we enjoyed the stay. Property management company gave us a checkin document that has a wrong phone number for manager on site so we couldn't reach them until she stopped by one day. They need to update this phone number.

Quiet bliss in Cayman Kai

This property is situated well away from the hustle and bustle of 7 mile beach on a beautiful stretch of sand in the north sound. The location of the actual home is absolutely spectacular with clear views of the sound and open ocean from the front porch. You simply cannot beat the location on the beach for peace and quiet. With the distance from the major population center comes the necessity for grocery delivery and an understanding that it will take you a while to go anywhere else on the island.

Many times, people take poetic license with their pictures and property descriptions. That is not the case here I honestly think the description under sells, the beauty of the ocean directly out the door, and the views were magnificent. The property was clean and adequately furnished.

It was a great location and we hope to return every year. The unit was very clean, had lots of beach towels, lounge chairs on the beach just steps from the front door. We kayaked to see the bio-luminescent and enjoyed many great meals walking across the street to the Kaibo restaurant.

Amazing beach house!

Our family had a wonderful time at Gardens of the Kai. The pictures are spot on. You are literally steps from the beach. The house was super clean and very comfortable. The furniture was comfortable. The beds were very comfortable. My youngest daughter and I were up early every morning enjoying the screen porch. We loved sitting in the loungers out there with a book. My husband and other daughter enjoyed the A/C . Starfish point is just a bike ride away, but there were just as many starfish right in front of our house. We also went to rum point a couple of times. It’s very close. Seven mile beach is about an hour away and we went twice during our stay. There are no beach chairs or snorkels available for you take to other beaches. We packed an extra suitcase with beach supplies. Found some chairs and umbrellas that fit in a suitcase on Amazon. They have a double kayak, a single kayak and two paddle boards there for you to use. I was so excited that we would be able to kayak on our own to bio bay. It’s not far at all. There were a lot of boats and other kayakers going into the bay on our last night, but if you stay close to the shore and bring a flashlight to let boats know where you are, you’ll be fine. Also, going to stingray city is a must! We went with white sands which is just across the street at Kaibo. Lastly, we made sure to be back for the sunset every night. It was spectacular. The kitchen is well stocked! I brought my own seasonings but they have plenty.

Great property and beach location

We were there in August and it was very hot out but the AC in the house kept us cool. Best spot - walk out directly to beach with no one else in your view. Each night Hermit Crabs would walk the beach and gather. Lots of starfish in the bay. Home covered with tile flooring and was updated. Kitchen was very well stocked. Loved walking to get tea and coffee and croissants in the morning from Kaibo across the street. Very quiet community this time of year. Enjoyed both Rum Point and Kaibo beach clubs and restaurants. The water was soo warm in the ocean and the pool was hot. Not refreshing this time of year but marine life (starfish) were abundant and we liked being able to take the Kayak to Bioluminescent Bay. There is a little bit of Bioluminescence in the water right in front of the property but not as impressive as Bio Bay. Loved staying here and would come again! Only negative is that we had to contact the property manager via phone to get check in instructions because they were not sent to us. I tried email and didn’t get a response first. Lady on phone was a bit rude. No one had been in the property the day before but they didn’t allow early checkin. Emails and documents had different on site contact people listed (Judy and Steven) but we never needed to reach out.

Great location, lovely grounds and villa perfectly appointed, but property manager issues.

Three Little Birds was everything we were hoping for as far as location and amenities. We swam and kayaked from our back door and sat and watched the shooting stars at night. There was a nearby market we drove to almost daily and a couple restaurants nearby within walking and biking distance. Reason for 4 stars and not 5 stars is not being able to reach the property manager, Julie. The air conditioner broke overnight our second night and we woke up sweating. We waiting until 8am to call her and she didn’t answer until almost 9am. Then her husband was going to stay at villa so we could go out but he came and left us there. After several hours, we called her again but couldn’t get her and had to call the owner who advised that the property manager’s husband would be back in a couple hours. When he was almost scheduled to be there we went swimming because we were hot. When we came back in the air tech told us the husband came and left again! They ended up replacing the outside air unit and the tech was doing work on inside electrical panel and draining inside unit. We live in Florida, things happen with ACs. The issue was with communication and being stuck at the villa all day until almost 6pm. We didn’t ask for but received a small credit, which was nice but we did lose an entire day.
