About this property

Nautilus Studio - Calabash is a charming Studio on 7MB - by Cayman Villas

  • Tucked away directly on the quieter northern end of Seven Mile Beach, Grand Cayman, Nautilus Studio is a charming, standalone beachfront studio created especially for two. Compact, private and wonderfully positioned, this little hideaway is all about simple island living — with the Caribbean Sea just steps from your door.

    The real star of Nautilus Studio is undoubtedly its private beachfront deck and spectacular sea view. Step outside in the morning with your coffee, spend lazy afternoons soaking up the sunshine, enjoy a casual BBQ overlooking the water, and settle in for beautiful Cayman sunsets at the end of the day.

    Private steps lead directly from the deck to the beach below, making it wonderfully easy to slip into the warm Caribbean Sea for a swim or snorkel. The snorkelling immediately offshore is excellent, with coral heads and marine life to explore without ever needing to get in the car.

    Inside, the Studio offers an open-plan sleeping, living and kitchen area designed for two guests. The sleeping area has a comfortable queen bed, while a flat-screen SMART TV and complimentary Wi-Fi make it easy to relax after a day in the sun.

    The compact kitchen provides everything needed for preparing breakfast, lunch or a relaxed dinner at home, with a breakfast bar and seating for two. A separate bathroom includes a walk-in shower, toilet and pedestal sink.

    Outside, the private deck offers outdoor dining and seating, a BBQ grill and an outdoor shower — perfect for rinsing off after a swim or a day on the beach. A mature sea grape tree provides natural shade and additional privacy from neighbouring Nautilus Cottage.

A wonderful babymoon

We enjoyed our stay and the place was perfect for just me and my wife. The property managers are right across the street and super nice! We enjoyed the privacy along seven mile beach and felt like we had the place to ourselves. We also enjoyed having Heritage grill right down the street which made it a great lunch spot on beach days.

Great place!

The apartment was perfect! The property manager, owner, and staff are so nice and accommodating. Very responsive. They went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable. The place itself is just as described and perfect location with basically your own private beach on 7 mile. It was amazing. Would highly recommend.

Location, location, location!! Quiet little neighborhood. Right on the water, literally. Short walk or drive to several beaches, restaurants and grocery store. Really enjoyed our stay in this quaint little studio. There are towels for the beach and a hair dryer. Wifi was hit and miss while we were there.

The little studio was perfect for us!

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We wanted to be oceanfront and close to good snorkeling. Beautiful beach, amazing snorkeling when we had the energy to swim out to the reef. Especially loved the shaded deck and barbecue. The studio is small but has everything you need. Suggestions: queen bed instead of sofa, add love seat under tv, and please add full length mirror kitchen wall by refer. Thank you for a lovely stay!

Cute & Cozy Oceanfront Hideaway - We didn’t want to leave!

My husband and I celebrated our 25th anniversary with a 2 week stay at the Nautilus Studio - Calabash. The tiny cottage was cute, clean and had every we needed for a relaxing, laid back stay. Internet connection was good and we enjoyed watching movies in the evenings on Netflix. It was such a beautiful quiet location right on the beach and steps from the ocean. It’s next to another larger cottage but feels fairly private due to the shade of the large Seagrape tree. On the other side is an empty lot with shrubs and brush. We cooked most of our own meals (or grabbed take-out from Heritage Kitchen) and ate on the deck while gazing at the ocean and listening to the waves! It was hard to pry ourselves away to go sightseeing or scuba diving …as the beach views and sunsets were so wonderful that we didn’t want to leave! We loved just hanging out on the deck. There is snorkelling right out front...and if you swim (or paddle board) even further out (towards the Kittiwake wreck) there is even more spectacular underwater scenery. We saw spotted eagle rays, turtles, and schools of colourful fish. The location is close to a large grocery store with everything you could need and was a short drive from some amazing shore diving sites. We met the owner and caretakers who live across the street. They were kind and helpful. This was our first visit to Grand Cayman and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this cute cottage. We definitely hope to return in the not too distant future!

We loved staying at this cute cottage, especially the location right on the beach. Our morning coffee on the deck was so peaceful! The snorkeling right out front and beyond was fantastic. The studio was clean, well stocked and the bed was super comfy. We felt safe and loved taking evening walks on the road. Close to lots of great restaurants and Fosters, fabulous grocery store. We will definitely stay here again!

Cozy and quiet

Great place for one or two people. Private deck area right on the water. You can easily snorkel right from “home” on a calm day. Even though it’s a small living space, all that you need is provided. There’s not a good sandy beach area in front of you, but the upside is not having people walking in “your space”.
