Castle Guesthouse: Cozy Guest Cottage w/ Private Pool and Deck with Ocean Views!
Castle Guesthouse is directly oceanfront on an elevated cliff. While it shares a two-acre gated lot and private beach with the larger Cayman Castle, it is quite private, tucked over 70 feet (more than the combined setbacks between most oceanfront neighbors) away from the Castle. The Guesthouse boasts its own driveway, utilities, garage, satellite dish, grill, and freshwater pool. The Guesthouse's pool faces east, while the main Castle pool faces due south ensuring privacy among guests. *** Castle Guesthouse's Sleep Arrangements*** (Sleeps 6 guests total, 4 adults max) Guesthouse Suite #1: Oceanfront king suite with stunning views, desk, large chairs, and an ensuite bath with a large walk-in shower Guesthouse Suite #2: Oceanfront queen suite with stunning views, one set of bunk beds, large chairs, dual vanities, and an ensuite bath with a walk-in shower *** Castle Guesthouse's Notable Features *** Comfortable oceanfront living area with sectional couch, flat-screen satellite TV, and Apple TV. Modern kitchen with stainless appliances, dishware, cookware, and cutlery. The Guesthouse offers the same quality construction and luxury finishes as The Castle including granite counters, glass-block showers, and bright new furniture. The Guesthouse offers a covered oceanfront veranda with a sectional sofa and Adirondack chairs. A zoysia grass lawn also provides room for sunbathing on chaise lounges. The white sandy beach with 3 thatched cabanas and 4 kayaks (2 tandem & 2 single) are available to guests just off the driveway. The pool is cliff-edged, so families with children should probably look elsewhere for accommodation. Charcoal grill (access to Castle propane grill area if no guests at Castle) Covered front porch with Adirondack chairs Private driveway with plenty of off-street parking. ***IMPORTANT NOTES*** 1) A Cleaning Fee may be required due to enhanced cleaning, sanitation, and inspection protocols. 2) Additional Silver Thatch tandem kayaks available for discounted rental.

Scheduling may be coordinated with your property manager upon arrival. ***Beach Notes*** All beaches in Grand Cayman are technically public since the Crown owns up to the high watermark. 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 generally harmless floating seaweed that has increased in frequency in recent years. Although sargassum is an unsightly nuisance, it is largely seasonal in summer. Our owners do make efforts to remove heavy sargassum and will have the beach raked prior to 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.

We loved the property, clean and the quiet side of the island. Police station right next door. Wonderful fish restaurant close by, close to blowhole. Kayaks and scuba gear were great.
The photos and description don’t do this hidden gem justice. An airy comfortable 2 bedroom/2 full bathroom cottage with the most insane ocean views and a small private pool. Absolute heaven!
We totally enjoyed our stay at The Castle Guesthouse. The home is very clean with all the amenities that anyone would need. The view is spectacular and we never grew tired of sitting on the porch, listening to the lapping waves and taking in views of beautiful Gun Bay. The beds are super comfy so you can wake up refreshed and ready to begin the day. Starting and ending the day with a dip in the pool is highly recommended. The pergola down on the beach and the kayaks were an added bonus. This was our first stay at The Castle Guesthouse, but it won’t be our last!

EXCELLENT
Everthing that was advertised was there. The facility is a AAA accomodation. My children (in the 50th are very spoiled) told me that my selection surpassed their expectation.It is extremely clean and well taking care of.
The location is extremely favorable with great ocean air circulation if you desired it. The equipment was in excellent working condition except one kayac which is leaking
Highly recommend this facility

Our stay at the Castle Guesthouse
This place was absolutely amazing. It is located on a small point and is situated above the water so the view is breathtaking. There was no one staying at the Castle main house while we were there, and the owner was kind enough to allow us to use its outdoor facilities which was just wonderful. The infinity pool was the perfect temperature and we spent hours playing in the pool and in the ocean. There are multiple patios and we spent most nights outside with a glass of wine watching the sun set over the horizon. The owner allows his guests to use his kayaks so we kayaked for a few hours on two different days when it wasn't too windy. On one kayak trip, we kayaked out to a shipwreck site called the Wreck of the Ten Sails, and that was really neat. This home offers all of the privacy and luxury you could imagine for a vacation villa. For us, it was the vacation of a lifetime, and we definitely hope to go back.
