Loved the property! Condo was exactly as details in
listing suggested. There is access to all that is
needed (towels, chairs, coolers, snorkel equipment)
to either stay in Rum Point area or travel to any of
the other public beaches. We loved that it was away
from the crowds in the Seven Mile Beach area. Would
definitely recommend to anyone looking for a quite
place to stay with still plenty to do.

Had a great week! House was perfect for us - 2
retired couples. The kayaks were a nice addition,
allowing us to get out on bio-luminescence bay at
night. What an experience - definitely a must. We
used the bikes to get around the local area
including Starfish Beach. A tour out to Stingray
Point is another must. Thank you Zuzana & Lennert.

We loved our stay on Grand Cayman!
The condo is on the Rum Point area of the island and
close to many activities. Our stay was quiet and
relaxing. If you enjoy doing your own cooking this
place is great, just plan to arrive any day but
Sunday as most stores are closed. Chisholms does
have a small store nearby that is open Sundays.
The owners were super easy to deal with online and
we very much enjoyed the entire experience.

As this was our first time to the Cayman Islands I
did quite a bit of research prior to our arrival. I
could not have been happier with the accommodations.
They were exactly as described and everything
(snorkel gear, coolers, chairs, beach equipment,
kayaks etc) were in great condition. The house was
just steps away from Rum Point and Red Sail Sports
which was very handy.
We will definitely recommend to friends and family!

I didn't get a chance to leave feedback at
the house as we spent to much time relaxing at the beach with a "Rum
Point Sunset" in hand. I wanted to thank you for your initial call to us
regarding your the Island House and the time spent educating us about the island and
locals. I am so thankful as we all decided that the best place to stay
on Grand Cayman is the Island House at Cayman Kai. The perfect location for nothing but
relaxation. We ventured into Georgetown, the West End and Seven Mile
Beach area and were overwhelmed with all the people and crowded beaches.
Our children enjoyed the lagoon area with the hermit crabs, jellyfish,
land crabs and fish. They had a wonderful time playing with the swim
noodles and rafts and my husband and I took turns snorkeling off the
beach. If we had initially stayed on Seven Mile Beach I'm certain we
would have been greatly disappointed as our whole intent was relaxation.
One of our best nights was spent at Cecil's out on the lanai watching
the sunset. I am back to work almost depressed as I miss the beach and
the house. Our last night there we hung out on the hammocks watching the
stars (which I haven't seen that many stars in years) as both my girls
cried because we had to go home.
Thanks so Much! Keith, Niki, Jordyn and Brooke Saindon, Broomfield, CO

We had a wonderful vacation in the Cayman Islands.
It was so beautiful, with great weather, nice people and your home is
very pretty. We went swimming with the sting rays. Several days it was
windy so we drove to the south side of the island to beaches (Spotts) to
get away from the wind. The snorkeling was amazing, I have never seen
so many conch shells. Staying in Rum Point was great, it was nice to be
able to walk across the street to the beach and to eat. The whole family
got a kick out of the rental car with the steering wheel on the opposite
side and driving on the left side. It was a wonderful vacation and we
look forward to our next visit. Thank you for all of your advice with
the house, pool and kayak. We did try the kayak one evening in the
lagoon and everyone had fun. Thanks again and we hope to get back there
soon.

We had the
"MOST" relaxing vacation we have ever had! Since we've been to 7-mile
before, and have seen most of the island, we felt compelled to lay on the
beach, try ALL of the tropical drinks the Wreck Bar offered, go sailing,
some diving, and some eating out, and a little shopping. The house was great
and we were very happy we chose yours (we had looked at another home in the
area that "claimed" to be within walking distance to the beach, but in
reality was not- we drove around and found it!). Our youngest used the kayak
a couple of times (and we were sure to secure everything when we left), but
mostly we loved the porch in the morning having coffee and enjoying the
outstanding view! Thanks again- we Really all needed a break!!

WOW. What else can we say?
This was by far the best vacation we ever had and we have been all
over. Add us to the list of people who will be back. The big
decision daily was should we walk across the street and snorkel all
day, at Rum Point Beach, or walk out back and jump in the pool. Rum
Point Beach was perfect. It has everything we could want. We ate
lunches there and the dinners were exceptional. The gift shop had
everything we would want. Red Sail and Captain Ebanks were great.
Whatever you could want is just a walk across the street. It is so
clean and I was so amazed that there were always open space and an
available lawn chair. The Ferry shuttle to 7 Mile Beach was a great
ride and allows you to spend the day at 7 Mile Beach and do so many
things. Our favorite day at 7 Mile Beach was paragliding.
Everything was so perfect. The
house was wonderful and the best touch for me was the bedroom set
up. We bought a guest and to have 2 separate suites was wonderful.
Since I also traveled with teenagers it was great for me to go
upstairs and be able to watch cable TV and let them have the
downstairs to blast music and play video games - we brought our own
X Box.
The house had everything we
needed. We did make it to 7 Mile Beach but were so happy to come
back to paradise. It was so quiet at Cayman Kai. So beautiful
and friendly. We loved the people, so kind and easy going.
Everyone smiles and is friendly.
The Island is so beautiful
and there is no bard part on it. We spent 2 full weeks and went
everywhere.
Our favorite was snorkeling
with the sting rays. What an experience. This is the only
place in the world you can do this. We had to go again and
again. My favorite memory was being able to hold one. This
is a memory that will last forever. The sea turtle farm and
butterfly farm are a must see. The submarine ride was also
excellent for those of us who do not snorkel.
The food, it is so
incredible. We could not believe, on such a small island
,there would be over 100 places to eat and all are so
great. The service was superb and people so friendly.
Conch Sushi was incredible. Our favorite place to eat
was Kaibo Kai. We were regulars there. Every meal we had
was a 4 star meal.
We felt so lucky to
have found the Island House. There are many houses
to rent but the pool was a wonderful extra. I lived
at the pool and had it alone most days.
We all agreed that
we had the best house and the best place to stay. We
agreed to return next year, after only a few days on
Grand Cayman. We could have stayed another week.
Thank you for
allowing us to enjoy your home.

We had a wonderful stay and want to thank
you for such a nice place. We had
everything we needed, and were very
appreciative of the bikes and snorkeling
equipment. The island was fantastic, but
wished we had a few more people staying in
the other Island Houses as the kids were
searching for friends. Of course, as adults
we didn't mind it because it meant more
bonding time for us. This was one of the
best vacations we've ever had as a family.
We feel so badly about the air conditioner
breaking. I alerted the management company
immediately, and they reassured us that it
was due to a blocked filter rather than
anything we did. We also feel that we may
have lost one of your lovely beach towels,
so we replaced it with another nearly new
towel that we hope will fill in for the
other. If you would prefer, we can send you
a brand new one from Michigan. Thanks again
for such a lovely time. We will definitely
try to come back.

We
loved the Island House. The best part was the
screened in Patio. We spent a lot of time
there. There was a breeze most of the time
so we didn't use the air conditioning much.
It was great to just walk across to the
beach and snorkel. We also snorkeled at
Turtle Island. That was awesome! We also
found a little beach area on the way to
George Town that had the best snorkeling of
all. The
Caymans is fairly expensive so we bought
groceries for the week for breakfast, lunch
and dinner. Driving on the left side of the
road was stressful but my husband did well
after a couple of days.

Well, we are back in Cleveland, welcomed by

Thanks again for letting us stay at your

chance to get comfortable swimming and
snorkeling before we took them over to Seven
Mile Beach
and Sting Ray city. Despite all the anxiety
at the beginning of the trip (thanks to
Hurricane Emily) we had absolutely perfect
weather and your place was perfect. Anyone

Dear Bob
We enjoyed our stay
tremendously at the Barefoot Lagoon House of Cayman Kai. I
would without a doubt recommend this holiday property to
anybody wishing to visit Grand Cayman, whether it be their
first trip or 20th trip! I truly believe that the house had
one of the best locations on the whole island. It is walking
distance to Rum Point Beach which is of course one of the
greatest beaches our family have ever visited. We came to
this beach 7 years ago and were happy to see that it hadn't
changed in character one bit. It was our special piece of
paradise and has everything for the family-snorkeling,
volley ball, restaurant, margaritas and the world famous
Mudslides! My husband was on a "working " holiday so he
drove every day to Seven mile beach but said it was well
worth the drive just to stay in a property like yours! It
had every possible amenity you could think of! We never
wanted to leave. We enjoyed taking out the kayak and
swimming in the pool which was just steps from the house. We
would not hesitate for a second to rent this Island house
again when we decide to return to the Cayman Islands again!!
Thank you, we really
appreciated it.

Dear Robert,
My family and I would like to thank you. We had a
wonderful time in Cayman. The weather was perfect,
Rum Point was beautiful and the house could not be
more perfectly located for us. We snorkeled every
day off the beach. We took a wonderful trip with
Red Sail straight from Rum Point to the Sand bar and
Stingray City, they were fantastic. We got to see a
Moray eel and hold the stingrays!!! We got off the
boat and walked back to the house, once again great
location. We drove to Seven Mile twice in the week
(Driving on the left a little strange at first)-
Just kept telling ourselves "left, left, left." Its
a great place to visit (Seven Mile) to see stuff,
turtle farm, great snorkeling at" cemetery reef",
good restaurants, fun shopping, but I am so glad we
stayed in Cayman Kai, so peaceful and relaxing. The
Botanical Garden is a great place to visit too. I
think there was one crazy day when the cruise ships
came in and brought people to Rum Point, but
otherwise it was like a private retreat. The house
had everything we needed, it was great to open all
the windows and enjoy the island breezes. Walking
to the Wreck Bar & Grill and snack bar at Rum Point
was great for my family. Everyone had a great time.
We had a wonderful dinner at Kaibo, please extend
our thanks to the owner for the $75.00 gift
certificate. Hope you had a wonderful Holiday and a
Happy New year to you!!

I am finally getting around to
thanking you for a truly
wonderful vacation at your
beautiful island home. Our
vacation this past April was
excellent and too short by far.
It was my parents' first trip to
Grand Cayman, and they have done
nothing but rave about how clean
and relaxing Barefoot Lagoon
Island House was. They loved
walking to Rum Point everyday
for lunch, to relax, to look
through their small shop, and to
book a Stingray City tour. My
step-father spent many hours
relaxing by the pool, while my
mom enjoyed the kayak and
collecting shells near the
lagoon. I can't tell you how
much it means to me to have been
able to share such a wonsderful
place with them. They work so
hard for everything they have.
It was just great to see the
stress melt away and the smiles
on their faces. Oh yeah, my
husband and I had smiles on our
faces too! Everyone has already
decided that we want to stay at
your lovely home again the next
time we are blessed with a trip
to Grand Cayman.

The location of this house
doesn't get any better!
Literally steps from Rum Point,
and a peaceful drive away from
other parts of the island. Rum
Point beach was perfect for my
two kids, very shallow and calm.
This house had everything we
needed, including a portable
crib and high chair for our

beautiful, and the pool is just
steps out the back door. We only
stayed for a week, but we wish
it had been longer. We will

Well, it's the morning of our
last day here at your Island
House #11. I'm enjoying my last
cup of coffee before we walk
across the sand for one more
round of jet skiing at Red Sail
Sports. I cannot find enough
words to properly convey the
peace and tranquility we found
here in your paradise. The
Island House is well stocked
with everything we needed, and
more. The beds are big and
comfortable, the TVs, air
conditioning, balconies, lanai
and BBQ grill were perfect!
Within steps of the house we
enjoyed snorkelling, kayaking,
bike riding, swimming and
searching out conch shells and
coconuts. At Red Sail we loved
the jet skis and glass-bottom
boat to the sting rays, "Capt
Jimmy" made sure I held a ray.
Couldn't get enough of the
Blackened Grilled Fish sandwich
at Rum Point, and my son LOVED
the Jerk Pork sandwich just as
much. And of course the
mudslides were yummy! It's tough
to plan a vacation that's
perfect for Mom & Dad as well as
our 15 y.o. daughter and 20 y.o.
son, but I've officially been
deemed the "best vacation
planner ever". Couldn't have
done it without having the
wonderful accommodations and
amenities your Island House
offered. We trekked across the
island to George Town and 7 Mile
Beach. The kids LOVED their
Dolphin Swim, but we were
delighted to get back to
peaceful Cayman Kai. We got
equal measure of relaxation and
exhilarating activity, which was
perfect for our family.
Everything was so easily
accessible that we felt like we
did it all!! Mike, you were a
delight to work with, very
informative and so quick to
respond to my millions of dumb
questions. This is our first
trip to Grand Cayman, we haven't
left yet and already I'm
thinking of a return visit.
Before we get back to the
rat-race of So. Calif. I needed
to take a moment to say a
heart-felt Thank You. Your home
was everything as promised, we
would love to stay here again!!
I also need to thank you for
your recommendation of
McCurley's Car Rental. B.A. made
it an extremely convenient
no-brainier, and I'm glad we
heeded your advice. Anyone
considering a Cayman vacation
would be wise to choose Rum
Point and Island House
#11.....just think, you too
could be considered the "best
vacation planner ever"!! Can't
wait to return!!!

We spent a week (Oct. 5-12) at
the Barefoot Lagoon with another
couple. What a perfect place for
2 couples or a family. The 2
bedrooms upstairs with private
baths were sound proof and you
never heard anyone get up. It
was awesome to sit in the living
room or porch and see the
beautiful lagoon or take a ride
up the lagoon in the kayak. It
was so nice to go across the
road and have the beach right
there. Snorkeling was great
right off the beach. Sunsets on
the pier were beautiful! I can't
say enough about the
accomodations but PERFECT! We
have rented on VRBO numerous
times and have never dealt with
such a gracious host like Mike.
He manages to answer all your

Thank you for an absolutely
fabulous week in the Grand
Cayman. Barefoot Island Lagoon
House is perfectly located and
we enjoyed the pool, the lagoon,
and especially Rum Point Beach.
We rented a car from McCurleys,
which I highly recommend, and
did travel around the entire
island. We decided that Rum
Point is the perfect location!
We enjoyed snorkeling and
kayaking and especially loved
seeing the sting rays swimming
in the water at Rum Point. An
extra special thank you for the
delicious dinner at the Kaibo -
a real treat! We have rented
several houses through VRBO and
this is one of our favorites.
Mike went above and beyond to
answer all of our questions and
it was a vacation that the Baker
Family will long treasure. Thank
you and can't wait to return!

Barefoot lagoon was the most
enjoyable vacation spot my
family has ever chosen. We
rented the house for a week and
wish it had been two. My
children loved having their own
room, and the rest of the house
was extremely comfortable. The
kitchen was completely stocked
including recipes from previous
guests. We spent every morning
out on the Lanai and then headed
to Rum Point for the rest of the
day. After spending the day on
the beach the kids did like the
option of a pool to play in at
the end of the day , the pool
was just a short walk out the
door and the house provided
floats for use. We are already
planning out return trip for
this year and plan on staying 10
days. This the the iedal
location for Families to stay,
away from crowded seven mile
beach but still reachable by car
in about 20 minutes.
