Cayman Reef Resort 56 - The Sandcastle

Nothing can compare to the crystal-clear waters and central location to all amenities. Fully renovated, our home away from home, with top-of-the-line finishes sure to meet everyone's expectations.
You & your guests will love your stay in this fantastic two-level vacation home. Two screened lanais, lower with electric BBQ and outdoor dining, and upper with an outdoor lounge area. This 3-bedroom and 2-bath unit has used exclusively Serta iComfort therapeutic mattresses paired with Pacific Coast duvets and pillows to ensure a restful sleep on any of the four beds. This condo is not ideal for younger children. This condo is our home away from home and as we have three of our children, they are now young adults and the furnishings and items in the condo cater to young adults and older.
The main bedroom has a king bed with ensuite privileges with the upper bathroom. The secondary bedroom has a queen bed. The third bedroom has a bunk bed with a single over double setup. Ceiling fans in every room and both patios plus the largest residential AC unit available that is professionally maintained are sure to keep everyone comfortable. This unit also has a whole home dehumidifier setup to help manage the Caribbean humidity when needed. We provide all linens and towels, including beach towels.
Plus, we have in-suite laundry when you need to freshen up the towels during your short or extended stay. Demand hot water means you will never run out of hot water. Smart TVs to entertain when needed, and free WiFi plus a computer desk with a large screen and peripherals to allow you to connect to and create a dedicated mini office if this helps you stretch your stay a bit longer. The telephone system has both a local line for making reservations and a second line for calling the USA or Canada for free.
The kitchen has everything and more you could want in a kitchen. We have outfitted the kitchen with virtually every want, from a Vitamix blender, and Keurig coffee maker to a full line of Cuisinart small appliances. All units have an Alexa device to play music and can be disabled with ease if she isn't your friend. In-room safe and USB hubs to keep devices charged. Relax in the sun, play in the sand, or swim in the ocean, Grand Cayman truly is a paradise. This condo is situated in the heart of it all, between the Ritz and the Marriott, you will be within walking distance of two grocery stores, restaurants, and the new Camana Bay Shops. The best homebase to see all the attractions Cayman has to offer with many tour operators offering SMB pickup. Luxury on the beach in Cayman Reef Resort 56 - The Sandcastle.
PLEASE READ If you have not been to the island in the last year, we want to share an important aspect of our coastal landscape with you. Due to the ebb and flow of beach erosion, our beloved shoreline has transformed into a smaller beach, sometimes being detached from the busy part of SMB. Occasionally, the water may approach our seawall when the waves are active, providing a unique and captivating view of the ocean's rhythmic dance. In extreme and rare cases, we have had the water right up to our seawall. We generally have a beautiful sand entry but as noted in some of the pictures we are not always as fortunate. Loungers & umbrellas are set up ocean side or beachfront as Mother Nature permits as seen in the pictures listed. We have also added portable beach chairs and beach umbrellas for your personal use to be used on the public beach immediately north of us or anywhere else on the island. Please review the last twenty-ish pictures in detail that show the different states and sizes our beach has gone through in the last 365 days. The last two pictures will be updated monthly to give an accurate reflection of current conditions, but are not necessarily an indicator of conditions months from now.

Perfect Condo
This property was perfect for our family that included two teens. The beach was a few steps away and very private and walking distance to the grocery store and a few little shops right across the street. The weather did not cooperate for us on this trip so it was nice to have the space in this condo. The owner has fully appointed the condo with everything you could possibly need and was immaculate. They even reached out to us upon arrival to make sure we had everything we needed. Highly recommend and would without a doubt stay here again.

Summer Vacation
The Sand Castle condo at Cayman Reef Resort was absolutely perfect for our family vacation! It was very clean and updated with plenty of room to rest, relax and enjoy! The property itself was beautifully manicured and the pool was beautiful and clean as well. The location was near wonderful restaurants within driving or walking distance. We even had a chef come to our condo to cook for us one evening and he had plenty of room in the kitchen. It was a perfect condo for our family!!
Marc is an excellent host with fast communication! We loved the amenities of the condo and location, and especially enjoyed the ‘extras’ like all of the beach equipment and paddle board that were provided with the condo. 10/10 recommend!

Great Unit in a Great Location
This is one of the few worry free places you can rent. The unit was impeccably clean, stocked well with towels, kitchen appliances, sheets, umbrellas, paddle board and child essentials (Gracco pack-n-play sleeper). Also wifi and TV were easy to setup and use. And the AC works great (just read the instructions, because opening a window or door will reset the smart monitor for it).
The resort over all is perfectly located for food and access to Camana Bay. About 15 feet from the road entrance is a protected cross walk that leads directly to the Camana Bay Risen Footpath (allows you walk over traffic). There you can easily find restaurants, liquor stores, and Foster's grocery store. A little south of the resort are some other good restaurants for fast options (burgers, kabobs, ice cream, etc.).
The pool and facilities in the resort are also great. The staff there is constantly attending to them and keeping the grounds clean.
The only point a repeat traveler should note is that the beach and water is clearer and has less rocks further north on Seven Mile. If you are coming with a large group, and particularly kids, this is an amazing place. And we'd stay again. But we'll also use some days to go north a bit (e.g., rent a bird cage at Westin) to get the clearer, rock-free beach experience. Other than that our large family loved the place.

Great Location
Went down for some diving and snorkeling. Great location in the heart of 7 mile; walk to a lot of places. Place was clean and well furnished with beach towels, umbrellas, etc. Both beach and pool were great and no saving of beach chairs was great. Super communication with the owner on the condo features.

We stayed at Marc's property for 4 nights and would highly to recommend. Enough space for the 5 of us to be comfortable. We had all the comforts of home and if not, everything was pretty much a short walk away. Thanks for sharing your amazing space in paradise!

Excellent host/Great Property
This condo is amazing. It is in a perfect location on the 7 mile beach and close to shopping. We had great snorkeling right off the beach. It is equipped with more than just the necessities. This condo was Immaculate, comfortable and well appointed. Before you go, you will receive a packet of information on the amenities and how to use them. I printed this and read it on the plane. It was of great help b/c I understood how to work the A/C, the wifi and the sound system. The host/owners were easy to communicate with and very helpful. I felt comfortable reaching out if I needed to.
We had no worries and had a great vacation! We always had a chair and an umbrella.
Thank you so much for having such a great place to stay.

Excellent 3BR property
Unit was very clean, owner was extremely prompt in all communication, unit had many baby friendly and kid friendly features (car seats, high chair, pack n play, sand toys, games). All the kitchen utensils/ gadgets you could ask for and nicer quality than my own house. Marc was also able to help me arrange for a babysitter who helped us out all week. The beach is beautiful and all the other guests at the complex were very friendly. Convenient parking. Well kept grounds. We will be back!

Property was well maintained everybody we spoke with was friendly and helpful.
The condo is very tastefully done, high end quality appliances, cookware, furniture, and very comfortable. Location is great. Our party of 6 had plenty of room without being right on top of one another. We had everything we needed. Took advantage of having kayaks and snorkel gear, the beach was perfect. Camana Bay is close enough for a great walk and perfect for evening relaxation. Tuesday evening they offer a free movie on the Bay with vendors for popcorn, ect. Perfect for kids.
