Property Description

Guests of this accommodation can take advantage of the benefits included in the Silver Thatch Membership. Contact a Rental Escapes villa specialist for the full list of benefits. Premium amenities are available for a separate charge. Welcome to White Cottage. This contemporary, open-concept villa offers guests an opportunity to spend their vacation amid sumptuous interiors with smart-home technology, gated privacy, and scenic Caribbean views. An oceanfront wall of glass and screened porch blend stunning views with protected intimate spaces for quintessential indoor-outdoor island living. With heavy landscaping and no neighbors on either side, White Cottage will be your private oasis after a day in the sun and water. A 100-foot private dock with a thatched cabana provides a relaxing spot above the waves. Enjoy sunsets, happy hour, or alfresco dining above the waves. Intrepid snorkelers can use the dock ladder for gentle water entry before exploring the nearby reefs. All guests receive free snorkel gear upon check-in at Silver Thatch Welcome Center. Inside, the home's kitchen comes fully equipped with an electric cooktop, dual ovens, a built-in refrigerator, microwave, dishwasher, and twin wine/beverage fridges. Prepare a home-style dinner or hire a private chef for a night of in-villa fine dining. A large formal indoor dining table seats eight guests. The outdoor dining table on the screened porch seats eight guests for meals with oceanfront views. Beach Notes The entire island is only 22 miles wide from west to east, so you are never too far from anywhere on Grand Cayman. The villas in the Cottage District on the southeast coast offer great reef-protected snorkeling plus proximity to the best dive operators on Cayman--Ocean Frontiers and Tortuga Divers. Being on the south coast the water tends to be very calm on the beaches. The water behind White Cottage is usually calm and has a sandy water entry for the first 3-8 feet. This is a reef-protected marine environment and the snorkeling can be wonderful, even in shallow waters. General Grand Cayman Beach Notes All beaches in Grand Cayman are technically public since the Crown owns up to the high watermark. The shoreline quality behind your property may vary slightly from the images on our website due to shifting tides and weather patterns. The next-door beach is also always available for your use. Ocean Debris and 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 over the years during the summer. Our owners do make efforts to remove heavy sargassum and will have the beach raked prior to your arrival. Should sargassum weed be extremely heavy behind your property, we will reach out to the owner for solutions. We try our best to work around mother nature.

Location Information

Innately charming an intimate, the district of East End is far away from the everyday hustle and bustle of other more populated districts in Grand Cayman. Located about 30 minutes east of George Town, you will know you have arrived when you pass by the impressive, elevated coastline to your right, where the ocean shimmers and rolling waves crash onto the iron shore below. This is an extremely quiet and peaceful part of the island with quaint cottages of every color standing side by side with churches and other historic sites. There are even remnants of ship wrecks still to be seen poking out of the emerald green sea at East End, about which the locals are more than happy to share tall tales passed down from generation to generation of the island’s extravagant sea-faring history. In East End there are plenty of opportunities to experience and appreciate authentic Caribbean life.

Great Reasons To Stay Outside

The setting is lovely, tucked away from the hustle where you can enjoy your own beach and dock with a variety of sea life and minimal seaweed but lots of sea grass. The pool has plastic railings and the decorative glass tile is starting to come off in places so be careful but the kids still enjoyed it. During our stay the primary shower barely had enough water pressure to rinse shampoo, the upstairs shower needed a video of how to make it work, toilets were temperamental, the outside shower broke and the front gate never worked, propane tank for the grill was empty (despite being told it was brand new), and there are lion fish who live at the dock so be careful. If you rent over Easter be prepared for the lot next door to have camping and a 300 person party, the host of the party is very friendly and kind just know it will get lively. The beds and linens are comfortable and the kitchen is large enough for a few adults to move about and is well equipped. The inside furniture is comfortable but the outside couches are scratchy. The property manager presents an air of indifference and would rather chat about the island than hear about problems. The setting is lovely but between the amount of broken aspects of the house and the indifferent property manager I wouldn’t return.
