SEPTEMBER AND OCTOBER OF 2025 IS NOW ON SALE! Nightly rates have been lowered by more than 15% for all remaining dates in September AND October!! Don't let the threat of tropical storm season keep you at bay, The weather is going to be great!! And if not, our refund policy has you covered!! Works Wonders is an aptly named beach front cottage that does just that to our soul every time that we stay. The home was built by Bob Soto (the father of modern scuba diving in the Caribbean) and was the family home for years. It was built to last and was a survivor of Ivan in 2004 when many were not left standing. Although restored to it’s previous glory over the years, we spent the first potion of our ownership adding a few amenities and modern touches during our stays. We hope that you enjoy your visit and feel free to contact us with feedback. We refer to the home as a “cottage” because it has that seriously Caribbean island vibe. The secluded location with what feels like a totally private beach (although all beaches on Cayman are considered public), but at 3100 square feet, it comfortably sleeps 10 with very quiet and private quarters. The exposed wooden beam construction along with the traditional Caribbean color scheme really sets the tone for a relaxed week away from your normal routine. You may end up never leaving the peaceful and tranquil view from the home of the sound.... But, when you choose to venture out, you will not have to go very far to enjoy all the Grand Cayman has to offer. The central location of Works Wonders provides ready access to Rum Point, where the mudslides are a must; to Georgetown and Camana Bay districts, where you will find wonderful experiences for both shopping and dining (Cayman is know as the culinary capital of the Caribbean); and of course scuba and snorkeling that rivals the best in the world. And speaking of the best, 7 Mile Beach, annually voted one of the top 3 beaches in the world is just a 30 minute drive way. The list goes on and on. From salt caves to the blue iguana preserve to swimming with the turtles at Spotts Beach, Cayman has something for everyone. But then again, with some of the best bone fishing in the world just outside our back door in Frank’s Sound, and the newly constructed pool right on the beach, Works Wonders just may keep you occupied right there at home. ## Property amenities ### Beach - On the beach - Beach loungers - Beach towels ### Pool/Spa - Outdoor pool - Private pool ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Car recommended - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Hob - Ice maker - Kitchen island - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Dining - Breakfast available for a fee - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 4 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 3 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Games - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels - Stereo - Video library ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Garden - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board - Meal delivery service - Phone ### Location highlights - Near a hospital - Near the bay - Near the marina - Near the ocean - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Bicycles - Kayak - Birdwatching nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Jet skiing nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Parasailing nearby - Scuba diving nearby - Snorkelling nearby - Swimming nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Windsurfing nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - At least 80% lighting from LEDs - Bicycles - Comprehensive food waste policy - Comprehensive recycling policy - Eco-friendly cleaning products used - Garden - Grey water recycling system - Local artist showcase - Local culture and ecosystem education - Unit size: 3,100 square feet - Water-efficient toilets ## Similar properties ![On the beach, sun-loungers, beach towels](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/117000000/116110000/116107700/116107614/bf97f2dc.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### You'So Breezy: New Beach House w/ Pool, & Backyard Snorkeling!
