On the Rocks Estate

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 On The Rocks. This oceanfront gated estate is conveniently located 20 minutes from the airport in the planned residential community of Beach Bay. The dozen or so homes along this rugged coastline share a key neighbourhood amenity: a wonderful sandy beach cove, with protected swimming and excellent snorkeling, just 5 minutes from the villa! Our guests report seeing lobster, octopus, and teeming juvenile fish along the coral heads. Architecturally, the design and flow of the house are low-country plantation-style with elevated ocean views throughout, a wrap-around veranda, and a central great room with walk-out access to a private freshwater pool. There is an enormous driveway for parking and a garage with an optional guest suite above. The main six-bedroom, three-bathroom villa features a wrap-around veranda that provides a full-day respite from the Caribbean sun with shaded areas for a good read, morning yoga sessions, breakfast, or sunset viewings. The freshwater pool has a wide sundeck with lounge chaises as well as a gazebo for al fresco dining by the sea. A zoysia grass lawn feels cool on bare feet and the estate has many mature palm trees for additional shade. Beach Notes On The Rocks estate is on an elevated rocky bluff overlooking the Caribbean Sea. In the evening it is not unusual to see cruise ships passing by on their way back to Jamaica or the USA. We have great panoramic views, however, you would not enter the beach from the rear of the house. This executive residential development of "Beach Bay" has about 12 homes like On The Rocks that all share a communal sandy beach cove with protected snorkeling just 400 yards east of the villa (3-minute walk). Parking is offered if you prefer to drive. The owner has six beach chairs for you to use and if you need more, please ask the manager. The beach offers a sandy entry into the water and multiple palm trees provide shade--no need to take an umbrella! As this is still a marine environment, we recommend either swim fins or stretchy water shoes to protect the feet from sharp shell shards, broken urchin spines, etc. The water is clear, and the bottom is sandy, but we still err on the side of caution. General Grand Cayman Beach Notes All beaches in Grand Cayman are technically “public” since the Queen owns up to the high watermark and the shoreline quality behind your property may vary seasonally. Be advised that the beach or water entry behind your property may vary slightly from the images on our website because of the weather. 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.
