Olympus

Property Description

Welcome to Olympus, a landmark oceanfront estate in Rum Point. Recently acquired by new owners, this striking, architect-designed villa sits on an elevated shoreline, offering panoramic views of reef-protected waters and backyard snorkeling. With a bold abstract design, a three-level layout, and seamless indoor-outdoor living, Olympus is a masterpiece of modern island luxury. The heart of the home is the lower-level great room, where 40 feet of floor-to-ceiling glass walls open to a sun-drenched terrace and L-shaped freshwater pool. The pool, heated seasonally from Thanksgiving through mid-April, is flanked by tiled patios and cool artificial turf for barefoot comfort. The home’s angular design provides natural shade throughout the day, creating relaxing outdoor retreats. A sandy backyard stretches to the water’s edge with a hammock for seaside siestas, while a half-bath with exterior entry serves guests enjoying the pool. Indoors, a floating staircase and tropical wood accents lead into a stylish, open-concept living space. The living area features a sectional sofa, large HD cable television with Apple TV for streaming, and a PS4, plus an adjacent den for tranquil moments. Hidden roll-down shades and five independent air conditioning zones ensure cool comfort throughout. The expansive kitchen boasts quartz countertops, top-of-the-line appliances, and a large island ideal for chef-hosted dinners or casual meals. A breakfast bar seats four, while the main dining table accommodates ten. Five well-appointed bedrooms sleep up to 12 guests, 10 adults max. There's a family suite and bunk room on the lower level, plus three king suites on the upper level. The third-floor rooftop terrace elevates outdoor living with 360-degree island views, an alfresco dining veranda seating 8–10 people, plus a sun deck for daytime tanning and a lounge area for late-night stargazing. An outdoor prep kitchen makes sunset dinners unforgettable. 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 homes on the oceanfront in Rum Point offer great reef protected snorkeling. The beaches usually have plenty of white sand, but also can have spots of rocky “ironshore” with natural rock formations. The closer you get to Rum Point, usually the sandier the beach as well as swimming. Either way, with the abundant marine life we have in the water, you will want to wear pool shoes or fins for foot protection. The prevailing trade winds from the east also make flying insects less of a pest—many of the homes in Rum Point don’t even need a screened porch. Olympus has a very sandy water entrance for swimming, however, there are critters so please wear foot protection. We do get tidal seagrasses on the beach. The owners hire a service that will rake the beach weekly to make a clear path to the water for snorkeling, kayaking and swimming. The big draw to this area is the proximity to the Rum Point Club, a public beach club that offers a fantastic barefoot beach, many watersports, a fine-dining restaurant, beach bar & grill, a gift shop and pick-up beach volleyball games. Also, nearby is the Kaibo Yacht Club restaurant, bar and marina. General Grand Cayman Beach Notes All beaches in Grand Cayman are technically public since the Crown owns up to the high water mark. 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 in recent years. Although sargassum is an unsightly nuisance, it is largely seasonal in summer. The owners do make efforts to remove heavy sargassum and will have the beach raked prior to your arrival. We try our best to work around mother nature.
