“Great Property and Location for Family”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 December 2011
1
person found this review helpful

Just got back from a Christmas break at Tranquility House (Island House #6) and wish we could have stayed longer. The condo and Rum Point location were perfect for our family with 2 teen boys. The condo gave everyone the space they needed and the location provided all the action we were looking for at Cayman. We loved the bikes and road to Starfish beach (saw lots of starfish), kayaked the bay during a new moon and were amazed at the bioluminescence (other people paid for something we had right outside our door!), snorkeled the areas around Rum Point (lots of fish - even under the pier), and walked across to Red Sail Sports for a 5 minute boat ride to Sting Ray sand bar. Cayman Kai Vacations (Mr. Wagner and Mitzi) made our trip easy and comfortable – Thanks!

Enjoyed the food at Kaibo Beach Bar and Grill, Over the Edge, and the Lighthouse Restaurant on the south side (loved their champagne mojito). Drove over to Georgetown one day for the submarine trip and ate at Guy Harvey’s Island Grill - loved the trip and the food was great but made me glad we were staying at Rum Point. Rum Point is more relaxed and less crowded which worked much better for our family. I recommend a trip to the Botanic garden. We saw several rare blue iguanas and the flowers were beautiful. Also, saw 2 green parrots flying around the parking lot. Unfortunately, the only rude person we met on the entire island was at the gardens but they were one of the guides that bring groups to the garden (not associated with the Botanic garden). He apparently thought his group took priority over the “regular” garden visitors.

Room Tip: Island House #6 provides a beautiful view of Rum Beach in the front and the bay in the back - Gorgeo...

“Everything promised and MORE!!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 July 2009
2
people found this review helpful

We stayed two weeks at Kai Kotch #17 and were very pleased. The house was redecorated before we arrived and was everything promised and more! By the third day we were calling it home-it had everything we needed. They include four kayaks and a pedal boat, snorkeling gear, beach towels, free calls to the US, the list goes on and on. The complex has a pool, a boat dock, and adequate night lighting.

The location is wonderful-perfect for people wanting to get away from it all, yet a walk across the yard and across one street and you have access to water sports, food, and beaches. The cove is really special. They have kayak tours to the area to see the bioluminescense that you can see every night (given the right conditions) and the kayaks included with the house. It was truly a unforgettable experience. It felt good to be amazed again!

The owners are easy to work with, respond quickly, and are very helpful. Starting with their personal web site which has a wealth of information and extending through our stay, we were given information on the entire island. As all the houses are separately owned their timely responses and web site really sold us. Had a wonderful stay and absolutely recommend this area and their house in particular.

“NIce House, air conditioning needs work”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 January 2009

people found this review helpful

We staid in the Barefoot Lagoon Island house for two weeks. Great location and nicely appointed house. When the airconditioner broke in the kids room and they had to sleep in the living room, however, nobody was doing anything about it.We called the property managment company but nobody showed up. I suspect they did not have authority to replace it. In August, AC is important. Other than that it was everything it promised although pricier than identical units in the same complex. The island, we discovered, is slow in summer, offer less than anyone is asking for a booking as its likely you or empty for them.

“My 35th Anniversary Trip”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 July 2007

people found this review helpful

My husband and I just returned from a week in the Grand Cayman. It was the perfect vacation. We stayed at The Pools in Kai. It was private and secluded, right on the water and we even had our private screened-in lanai w/ our own pool. I rented through carribeanway.com. We had sun every day even though this is supposed to be the rainy season. We did go to Georgetown for one day and night but could not wait to get back to the seclusion of our villa. We ate at the Kaibo Yacht Club twice. Both times were excellent. It truly was the best vacation. I have nothing negative to say. I cannot wait to return.

“Outstanding Island House- Barefoot Lagoon”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 March 2004
14
people found this review helpful

Barefoot Lagoon Island was everything shown on its web site and more.
The house was very well decorated and very comfortable. THe area was the best on Grand Cayman. We had our own pool and then right out the front door was the famous "Rum Point Beach. The amenities offer like the use of the kayak, snorkeling equipment, bicycles and safety equipment for the kids were more than we expected. It saved us alot of money not having to buy them. THe location in Cayman Kai, Rum Point is by far the best location of the Island but there is still so much to do. Great resturants. Will we be back.
