Each room has a spectacular view of the beautiful beach - so no one feels left out. The comfortable common area makes for an intimate setting for group chatting while each bedroom is spacious in case anyone wants private time.The kitchen is fully stocked with equipment for home cooking and dining out is easy with many local restaurants within a short driving distance. We could not have been happier! ##### Susan R.

The property is as the photos show. Karen and Ron were very responsive and great to work with. I would suggest checking your snorkel equipment as we found some masks to be leaky. Otherwise the property was terrific and we enjoyed our time there. ##### Tara B.

Our favorite part was the awesome reef we snorkeled around every day! We could wake up in the morning and walk out onto our private beach and start snorkeling. The snorkel gear and volleyball assessiores were all provided as well. Everything else about the house was amazing too, just wanted to share some different. ##### Tiffany M.

The home had a very well-equipped kitchen, lots of places to relax around the pool, plus a generous supply of snorkeling gear. Having 5 large bedrooms with ensuite baths gave each couple ample room and privacy. And, it's less than 5 minutes to Rum Point by car! ##### STACIA b.

We had such a great stay! The owners have made sure that every convenience and comfort of home has been accounted for. When you arrive there are toiletries and a fully equipped kitchen ready for you. There are many extra details such as backyard games and kayaks. The beach is the backyard and there are snorkel sets to use. The pool on the patio is just right with plenty of seating, whether you want shade or sun. The personalized crafts throughout the house are a nice touch and add to the warmth of the property. ##### Denise P. Stayed 7 nights in Nov 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Janice S. 20 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Private Pool and Beach This home is just as pictured. It is a perfect gathering for 5 couples. Everyone has their own suite and yet enough gathering space to hang out. The pool always seemed to have a shade for those not wanting to be in the sun. Ample chairs around the pool and for sitting out in the sand. Everyone enjoyed a turn in the hammocks! The only negative we had was the amount of wind "stuff" that ended up on the beach. This is no fault of the home, just a bit windy during our stay. The jetted tub in the master bath did not work, but it did not spoil our stay. The bathroom out by the pool kept tracking into the house to a minimal. A fridge by the pool/bar.. would have been nice, but the abundance of plastic cups/glasses was perfect. I would highly recommend this home for as excellent gathering of family and friends. The home was well stocked with games, towels and everything you need, except food and beverage. The people were polite and reserving was made easy via the internet. ##### Janice S. Stayed 7 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Edward S. 27 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great House and Location Reef Romance was the perfect house! There are 5 master bedrooms, a very large gathering room, a great kitchen, and a kitchen table that sits 8-10 people! The pool, with plenty of lounge chairs, the outdoor bar area, and 2 hammocks were used by us all daily! We felt like we hit the lottery with this house!The location of the house was on The NorthSide. We loved how close it was to Rum Point and Starfish Beach. The restaurants in this area were all great! We had friends who did several dive and snorkeling trips! The stingray trip was the best! Swimming with them was a blast! We did take a drive to 7 mile beach, which was about an hour away. The beach was beautiful, and the water was so clear and warm to swim and snorkel in……we stayed to have lunch at Bonny-Moon, which I highly recommend. Our last night on the island, we had dinner at Tukka on the East End, which is right on the water’s edge. The food was delicious!But our favorite thing that we did during the week was to hirer Chef Remy for 3 fabulous, unbelievable dinners! They set up, serve you, and clean up the entire dinner! It was truly the best thing we did! Highly recommend Chef Remy and his team! The property manager, Karen Anderson, answered all our questions pre-trip, and Roy, who was the onsite manager, was a phone call away! They both were at our fingertips at a moments notice, and were greatly appreciated!We look forward to our next trip to the Cayman’s Island! ##### Edward S.

House is very nice, not luxurious, but very clean and comfortable. Tv reception in bedroooms poor, but main room excellent. Kitchen could use some additional and upgraded cookware, no casseroles or glass bakeware to speak of. Grill is charcoal. Hot water and water pressure is great. Pool is clean and nice. Individual bedrooms are private and excellent. ##### Christina H.

It never felt crowded. Well appointed with pool and beach toys, chairs, towels. The place was super clean. Only a few small suggestions that I sent that would make it just perfect (TVs in all rooms would give kids some separate space in the evenings, for instance). The location was just perfect in my opinion. We went to Starfish Point regularly and ate in some wonderful restaurants nearby. We all loved Chisholm’s market - great meat pie! However, the location is quite far from “town” if you’re wanting more shopping and activity that you can get in a city or tourist area. This was just set apart and the perfect place to just relax and be with family! If we are back in the Caymans, this is where we will be. I would not hesitate to recommend anyone book this! ##### Eleina E.

Stayed 6 nights in Dec 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Matthew P. 27 Mar 2018 #### Lovely home with a beautiful view, but renters should know a few things before renting! Our review of this property was going to be "glowing" until we discovered that part of our security deposit was withheld without explanation. After reaching out to the property manager, we were told that a decorative wooden fish was broken, but after days of going back & forth with the property manager without a clear answer, we've given up. Bottom line is that we did NOT break anything and it's frustrating that after spending a great deal of money to rent the house and leaving in in excellent condition, the benefit of the doubt goes to the cleaning crew. That said, here's our review of Reef Romance which was home base for our fabulous week on Grand Cayman Island. PROS: The house was clean, beds were comfortable, kitchen was well-equipped. We were grateful that a small bag of charcoal was supplied for our first night as we forgot to purchase charcoal on our first trip to the grocery store. The house has plenty of towels, beach and bath. The views from the house are spectacular. Great to have pool and tiki bar. CONS: Beside the petty quibble over the broken fish or turtle, the most disappointing part of the trip was the unbelievable amount of garbage that had washed up on the beach in front of the house. Manager said it had been cleared recently, but it piled up daily and made it difficult to get out to enjoy the water. We understand it is not the fault of the owners that this tragic result of human wastefulness washes up on their beach at this time of year, but renters should be aware that it is NOT a nice sandy beach where kids could play at the shoreline. You also can't walk the beach very far in either direction - too much garbage and seaweed piled up made it impossible. We found everything from flip flops to hypodermic needles - very sad. WI-FI was spotty at best - it was impossible for anyone to connect and get any work done. Games were locked in a closet. Unsure of the value the "Silver Thatch" membership provided for the mandatory $800 charge. Gym was not quite ready to use, but we used the WI-Fi access a few times. As far as discounts go, only one restaurant that we went to accepted the card - many of the places at Rum Point, most convenient to our location, did not recognize the membership. A few maintenance issues: broken toilet , air conditioner malfunctioned and backed up sink. The manager sent someone to take care of these issues. Cleaning crew showed up over an hour early and stood in driveway. ##### Matthew P.

Stayed 9 nights in Feb 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Neil B. 22 Feb 2018 #### Wonderful House, Perfect for 5 Couples We thoroughly enjoyed our recent stay at Reef Romance. The house is laid out perfectly with 5 bedrooms, each with their own private bathroom. The weather during our stay included 4 days of 20 MPH winds or greater. Some of my comments may be the result of that weather, others are not. The outside bar was used only briefly. We utilized the refrigerator for overflow beverages. We didn't use the Kegorater which was taped shut, probably due to easily being blown open by the strong winds that this side of the island incur this time of year (February). We used the outside TV once after figuring out how to turn it on (instructions are provided, but difficult to follow). It appeared to us that you can either have the TV on out by the bar or in the living room, not both at the same time. When the wind was really blowing, the outside bar was not conducive to using. Again, probably due to the wind, there was a lot of seaweed that washed up on our beach during our visit. You had to step over it to get into the water. In addition to the seaweed, a lot of trash was washing up as well. We did spend some time in the water just outside the house, but several in our party balked at having to step over the several feet of seaweed that had washed up over the windy days. We didn't utilize the volleyball court, again due to the wind. The sand outside the house contains some corral and rocks, so it really wouldn't be great for playing volleyball barefoot. Probably would need to wear shoes to be safe. We purchased a Bocci ball set from a local sports company and played that often. That was not a problem in the wind. The kitchen is well stocked with utensils, plates, bowls, glasses, etc. The only issue we had with the kitchen is that there are a large number of knives available, but none of them are very sharp. We did a lot of cooking while on the island and we had some difficulty cutting even an onion with the knives available. Not a big deal, just worth mentioning. We didn't discover this until the day before we were leaving. There are some puzzles in the master bedroom chest of drawers, bottom drawer. There are also books under the sink in the 1/2 bath. It would be nice if there was an information book about things in the house, restaurant recommendations, places to visit, etc., rather than just instructions on how to use the TV. The location is very private. We would definitely stay at this location again. ##### Neil B. Stayed 9 nights in Feb 2018 This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### JOHNNA M. 22 Oct 2017 #### Great stay for couples We had 5 adults who were fortunate enough to book this place last minute after Irma changed our original plans for Tortola. We did take a few days out of the week to see some of the sights that Grand Cayman offers like star fish point and sting ray city and bioluminescent tours but the days we stayed at the house were just as great. We had basically our own private beach and saw star fish and sting rays out in the water. We brought bocce ball with us and enjoyed playing that out on the beach. We had a chef cook and private yoga and private massages without leaving the house. Roy was a pleasure to work with. The house is quite a haul from main grocery stores but it's nice being away from it all. The best bargain meal was Kurt's Corner. We also ate at Kaibo and Over the Edge for closer meals. The house is well stocked with spices and kitchen utensils and towels. ##### JOHNNA M.
