“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

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.

Stayed August 2008, travelled with family

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

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.

“Remote, Private, Special”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 September 2003

people found this review helpful

Stayed twice at the Sea Lodges of Cayman Kai, in 2001 and 2002. These are cute little beach condos, angled on a sugary white sand beach, that look a little like Fred Flintstone's house! The privacy is good, local people are nice and friendly, and the Caribbean sea is spectacular and right outside. These are individually rented out. Some are very old fashioned, some are modern and updated, but all areas here are great for a relaxing getaway. I recommend it highly if you don't care for a fancy resort and want to get back to yourself and your loved ones on your vacation. Local restaurants and a beach bar down the street are good nearby spots. The diving is wonderful. You won't need to go out on boat dives, just step outside your back door.
