The lower level opens out onto a 2-story screened lanai providing quintessential indoor/outdoor island living with fantastic waterfront views. The lanai will be your early morning and end-of-day go-to spot. A charcoal grill sits just outside the lanai for island cookouts. The large pool is only steps from your lanai and is reserved for owners and guests exclusively.

The waters here are shallow with a soft bottom; perfect for kayaking and paddleboarding, but not ideal for swimming or snorkeling. For a barefoot beach experience with great food and a unique vibe, head across the street to Rum Point Beach (temporarily closed, reopening in late 2022). Rum Point Beach offers a spectacular white sandy beachfront with vibrant snorkeling, shaded hammocks, watersports, charter excursions, two restaurants, and a beach bar. Chaises are plentiful on a first-come, first-served basis. South of Rum Point Beach you will find The Kaibo, a local beach club and marina. The Kaibo consists of a coffee shop and two restaurants, a beach bar and grill on the lower level along with a fine dining restaurant upstairs. Live music, beach barbecues, and full moon parties are highlights at Kaibo. From the Kaibo Marina, hop on the Cayman Ferry for a day trip across the sound to the shops and restaurants at Camana Bay and Seven Mile Beach. ***Ocean Debris & Sargassum Seaweed*** Beaches in Grand Cayman may also experience floating ocean debris and sargassum seasonally. Sargassum is a harmless floating seaweed that has increased in frequency in recent years. Sargassum RARELY is an issue at the Island Houses. ***Nearby Points of Interest*** -- Home is on the island's Bioluminescent Bay -- 3-minute walk across the road to Rum Point Beach (temporarily closed) -- 1.1 miles south to the Kaibo Beach Bar & Grill -- 1.6 miles south to Starfish Point -- 4.4 miles to the nearest general store, Chisholm's Grocery -- 6.2 miles east to Over the Edge restaurant -- 9 miles from Silver Thatch Welcome Center -- 12.6 miles to the nearest supermarket, Foster's Market -- 26 miles (50 min drive) from Owen Roberts Airport (GCM) ***Getting Around*** A rental car is highly recommended.
