Welcome to Kai Tana, a cozy 2-bedroom beachfront cottage in sunny Rum Point. Surrounded by mature palms and casuarina trees, Kai Tana offers a serene escape on a wide sandy beach with cozy accommodations for couples, honeymooners, or small families. The beach here is very sandy plus the reef-protected waters make for excellent snorkeling just off the backyard. Although barefoot water entry is tempting, water shoes are recommended to protect against foot injuries. Sunset walks along the shoreline in either direction are a must!

The home features a formal dining table in the living area and a patio dining table for alfresco dinners under the stars. A charcoal grill is also provided for surf and turf cookouts by the sea. The beachside patio is your slice of paradise to soak up the sun and spellbinding views. A palm-shaded hammock sits on the beach beckoning daydreamers for lazy days by the ocean. The home is licensed by the Department of Tourism to sleep 4 guests across two bedrooms. \*\*\*Sleeping Arrangements\*\*\* (Sleeps 4 guests total) Bedroom 1: primary suite, king bed, oceanfront views, walk-out access to the patio, television, ensuite with shower.

Be advised, the beach or water entry behind your property may vary slightly from the images displayed due to shifting weather and tide patterns. The next-door beach is also always available for your use. We advise guests to wear foot protection (pool socks or aqua shoes) when entering the ocean to avoid injury on coral heads, ironshore, or rocks. \*\*\*Ocean Debris & Sargassum Seaweed\*\*\* Beaches in Grand Cayman may also experience floating ocean debris and sargassum weed seasonally. Sargassum is a seaweed that has increased in frequency over the summer months. Our owners take measures to remove heavy sargassum and will have the beach raked before your arrival. Should sargassum be 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. ## Property amenities ### Beach - On the beach - Beach loungers - Beach towels ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Car recommended - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Shampoo - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Living room ### Entertainment - TV with cable/satellite channels ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Printer ### Comfort - Air conditioning ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Housekeeping on request - Iron/ironing board - Phone ### Location highlights - Near the bay - Near the marina - Near the ocean - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Gym - Kayak - Water sports equipment - Cycling nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Jet skiing nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Sailing nearby - Scuba diving nearby - Snorkelling nearby - Swimming nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Windsurfing nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Housekeeping (on request) - Unit size: 1,250 square feet ## Similar properties ![Beach nearby](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/27000000/26930000/26921800/26921751/9994cf66.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Enjoy ocean views, read a good book or relax from the balcony of this unit!

You can enjoy full sun on the beach, or linger in the shade of the coconut trees sourrounding the house. The view is magnificent from both inside the house and out, and there was an omnipresent breeze to cool you off during the day and waves washing ashore to rock you to sleep at night. Simply an epic vacation stay. ##### Tom S.

Kai Tana is a beautiful cottage in a very private setting, shielded on both sides by foliage and a good distance from neighbors. Perfect for the North Side which is quiet anyway. The lot is beautifully landscaped, especially the back facing the Caribbean Sea. It really makes you feel like you are in a true island paradise. Cottage is perfect for two to four people. Both bedrooms are a good size. The main bedroom is adjacent to the second bathroom and smaller bedroom has an ensuite bath. The small kitchen is located between the bedrooms and is a perfect size for a beach cottage – who is going to spend time in the kitchen anyway? Living and dining space are a good size and has an amazing full view of the Caribbean. The outdoor hardscape and furnishings are also quite nice and comfy. Access to the beach – just steps from the house. It is not much of a walking beach, especially because of the sargassum. Don’t forget your water shoes because they are definitely needed. During our two week stay we were able to kayak and swim several times but on some days the sargassum was too thick. When there is no breeze it can get quite buggy and the smell of the sargassum can waft up toward the cottage. Luckily there was a good breeze most of the time. There are two cats who occupy the small “cat house” on the east side of the cottage. They were nice company and determined, but unsuccessful in getting inside or handouts. ##### Robert D. Stayed 14 nights in Mar 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Julia S. 2 Aug 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Fabulous villa Kai Tana is a fabulous villa, it's right on a stunning white beach with hardly anyone else around - perfect! Angella, the manager, was fantastic! Really helpful and really friendly, full of top tips! The bed was incredibly comfortable! The villa was spotlessly clean and really well kitted out! LOVED IT ALL! So why then have I knocked it down a star on the overall rating? It was the sargassum sea weed - there is nothing that the Kai Tana team can do about it, but we had planned to fall out of the villa and spend our days snorkeling on the reefs just there, but the sargassum made that utterly impossible. The sargassum was literally meters deep and went on for meter after meter, we couldn't even wade through it; and there were waves and waves of the stuff coming in! I KNOW the villa can do nothing on their own, but I really hope that the Cayman government will do something to get it sorted. All that said, we had the most relaxing time and really enjoyed our stay - and we will be back! ##### Julia S.

It is always difficult making a decision based on looking at pictures and reviews online but Cool Change did not disappoint. The house is very nice with excellent furnishings and is kept very clean. The internet works well for those needing to connect and work a bit while on vacation. The beach is right outside the door and has the best sunrises each morning. Depending on the wind, the beach can have some seaweed when the wind is blowing straight off the sea directly at the home, as it did for our 1st couple of days but when the wind shifted it cleaned out and was very beautiful. Rum Point, Kaibo and Starfish Point are all within a 2-3 minute drive and are perfect areas to hang out. Being close to Rum Point means that it is much less populated than Georgetown and 7 mile beach area on the other side of the island as I am not a fan of crowds. We didn't see any other people when hanging out at the beach at Cool Change, and saw no more than 20-30 people in total at the large area of Rum Point. We would highly recommend this property and will book this place again on our next trip to Grand Cayman. If you like a private property that is quite with a secluded feel, pretty beach and some of the most amazing sunrises, this is the spot. ##### Gene S.

Everyone was so friendly and there were so many fun things to do on the island! Just had a great mother-daughter trip! ##### Julene T. Stayed 5 nights in Mar 2019 ### 6/10 Okay #### danielle s. 17 Mar 2019 #### Clean but the beach not meant for swimming. Nice property-not a great beach for swimming. Too much garbage in the beach and too much seaweed. ##### danielle s. Stayed 6 nights in Feb 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jennifer B., Thompsons Station, TN 28 Jan 2019 #### Peaceful and Simple We just returned from the most amazing time spent at Cool Change. My husband and I settled in comfortably and truly enjoyed our time spent in this lovely little slice of heaven. It was clean, comfortable and well equipped. The AC worked great. A constant ocean breeze allowed us to open the windows during the day. We utilized every single part of the house. The outdoor shower, the washer/dryer, the kitchen, the abundance of beach towels. We cooked every night but one. The one night we ate out we enjoyed the chefs 6-course tasting menu with pairings at Kaibo Upstairs. Amazing! We swam with Stingrays through White Sand sports and will never forget that experience. The beach is beautiful but the seaweed was terrible. Homeowner can’t change this but I think it’s worth noting that it impedes swimming, snorkeling and the view a bit. It was 2 feet thick in most places. Also, would love for them to add a dishwasher and a hammock. With as much as we cooked, it was a bit of a pain to have to hand wash all of our dishes on vacation. Also, there are perfect trees for a hammock! Other than those minor things, our time spent at Cool Change was perfect. We will be back! Almost forgot, Bernie, the property manager was so sweet and helpful. He does a great job with the upkeep of the home. ##### Jennifer B.

It was exactly what we were looking for and we could not have asked for The accommodations were perfect! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will definitely be returning! There were a few hiccups with the TV and telephone services but did not hinder the good time we had. ##### angela m. Stayed 5 nights in Nov 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jeff C. 21 Nov 2018 #### Excellent! Perfect villa for a quiet and fun family getaway. Everything about Cool Change was exactly as we hoped - clean, spacious, and a terrific location right on the beach. It was perfect for our family of 4\. We will definitely consider Cool Change for our next trip to Grand Cayman. ##### Jeff C. Stayed 6 nights in Nov 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Rick S. 12 Nov 2018 #### Fantastic location and privacy! Place was great! Awesome location, view and whether. ##### Rick S. Stayed 7 nights in Nov 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jonathan D. 8 Aug 2018 #### Bernie’s beautiful basic beach cottage Ok, there are better houses to rent for 50% more and yes, there is no pool - but for a fine beach holiday with no frills but perfect thrills this is the place. You have to accept the 50/60 minutes drive from the airport and G-Town. You need to be chilled about the lack of shops within 10 miles. But to me that is all good. Iguanas and lizards abound, land crabs and the odd harmless snake make for great spots, and the constant breeze renders aircon unnecessary. Thus is a lovely place where even the presence of foul-smelling sargassum weed two feet deep in the beach and 10 metres out to sea rendering both useless for bathing or swimming should not spoil the holiday. You are close to no one, there is no crime, and the place is well-built and looked after. You can run to Kaibo in 15 minutes or walk in 30 and the road is quiet. A car is essential and you should stock up at Hurleys on day one as it is a long way later to shop. It is not Kansas, Toto, but a beautiful beach cottage,with all the basic needs including Wi-fi - what more do you need? ##### Jonathan D. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Harold L. 22 May 2018 #### Perfect Caribbean Cottage We stayed at Cool Change in preference to a hotel on Seven Mile Beach or a house or condo on the East End or in and around George Town or Bodden Town. It was not a problem to get to great dining opportunities, because the Rum Point Restaurant and Kaibo are 5 minutes away, Tukka and The Lighthouse only 20 minutes. The house is very classic West Indian construction and just the right size for a couple or small family. It has a private beach and even more isolation provided by a vacant lot covered in sea grape on one side and a high hedge of a flowering native shrub on the other. Mornings and afternoons on the back patio are fantastic; we drank our coffee and watched the sun rise each morning. The house stays very comfortable with AC in both bedrooms and the living room, and fans throughout. All of the amenities are relatively new, clean and well maintained. We never watched TV, but can vouch for the Wi-Fi. The North Side is the best part of Grand Cayman; uncrowded, serene and yet convenient to anything you would want to do. We will definitely be back! ##### Harold L. Stayed 7 nights in May 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Andrew S. 12 May 2018 #### Beautiful Loved almost everything about this property. Georgous setting. Nicely appointed and in a great location if you like privacy, peace and quiet. The only reason I’m not giving the house 5 stars is because the beach hadn’t been cleared and we were faced with a thick line of seaweed mixed with some trash to get to the water. I found a rake and was able to clear some myself. Some men came the last day of our stay and said they would clear the entire beach after we left, but this should have been done prior to our arrival. All in all’ however we had a great time and would definitely rent again. ##### Andrew S. Stayed 7 nights in May 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ron M. 25 Jan 2018 #### Seeking peace and quiet? This is the place! If true relaxation is on your agenda, consider this terrificly charming cottage on the water near Rum Point. Well appointed condo with all the requisite beachfront touches. Loved the privacy, the virtually secluded beach, and a location offering elbow room but also near the action of Rum Point. Would happily book this villa again! ##### Ron M. Stayed 4 nights in Jan 2018 This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### shoshana d. 2 Jan 2017 #### "Cool Change"- Awesome! Love "Cool Change" -very private and cozy!! It's the perfect beach house!!!! Small and unpretentious. It has its own beach (walk right out) and the views from the house are magnificent!!! Also, it is not far to Rum point and other great spots to hang out and dine. Love it!! I will be back!!!
