***Property Overview***
Welcome to Castaway Cove, an oceanfront villa located on the North Side.
Offering excellent backyard snorkeling, this airy, sun-filled two-story beach house features breathtaking views from almost every room, vaulted ceilings, and an open concept design.

***Beach Notes***
The entire island is only 22 miles wide from east to west, so you are never too far from anywhere on Grand Cayman. All beaches in Grand Cayman are public since the Crown owns up to the high water mark. The beach or water entry behind your property may vary slightly from the images on our website due to shifting tides and weather patterns. The beach next door is also always available for your use.
The homes in Northside offer great reef-protected snorkeling. The beaches in Northside can have plenty of white sand, but can also be pebbly with natural rock formations. Either way, with the abundant marine life we have in the water, you will want to wear foot protection—pool shoes or fins—when wading into the ocean.
From North Side, it's an easy 10-minute drive to the Rum Point Club, as well as a 10-15 minute drive to Tukka restaurant in the East End. You'll also find 2 resorts in the East End—Morritts and The Reef—with restaurants and a dock bar.
***Ocean Debris & Sargassum***
Beaches in Grand Cayman may also experience floating ocean debris and sargassum seaweed seasonally. Sargassum is a harmless seaweed that has increased in frequency over the summer months. Our owners do make efforts to remove heavy sargassum and will have the beach raked before your arrival.
If sargassum weed becomes 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.
