Description
|
|
Hidden away on the tranquil East End of Grand Cayman, and unrivaled
in its privacy, Windward Cove in Gun Bay is being offered for
vacation rental to the public for the first time since its
construction 9 years ago. Forty minutes away from the hustle and
crowds of 7 Mile Beach, you get to experience and see Grand Cayman
in glorious fashion. Most of the conveniences, none of the crowds.
Welcome to paradise!
The gated front courtyard area finds a myriad of flowering plants
and trees to greet your arrival. Our signature almond tree shades
the picnic table area amid the bougainvillea and Christmas palms.
One step through the front door and you are greeted by the open air
great room with vaulted ceilings and cool tile floors throughout.
Four large bedrooms (2 oceanfront, 2 garden view) easily sleep eight
adults. Each full bathroom is equipped with a tub/shower combination
and large medicine cabinets. A fully equipped kitchen, washer and
dryer, entertainment center, etc. (see amenities for full list) to
serve all your needs. Central air conditioning and eleven ceiling
fans (including one in every bedroom) help keep things cool should
the ocean breezes die down. Four sets of disappearing sliding glass
doors open onto a 52' screened-in porch capturing the tropical
breezes and views from three directions. Step outside to an elevated
deck and you are greeted by the cobalt sea, and what we refer to as
the giant lagoon. It's actually a reef protected sound that varies
in depth from very shallow to 20+ feet out to the reef.Follow the
deck down to the side of the house and find a large fully enclosed
outdoor shower, with a bench and dry garment area. One step further
to the left...the Beach.
This property boasts over 200' of private sugar sand beachfront,
amid shady coconut palm and casuarina trees. It is also one of the
deepest all sand beaches on the East end, extending over 150' from
the rear of the house to the water. While on the beach, you'll
notice your closest neighbors are several lots away in both
directions, providing you with an enclave for all your water sports
adventures. The waters here at Windward Cove have a Marine Park and
Replenishment Zone designation, creating a refuge for your
underwater friends. Swim and snorkel to your hearts content as the
water temperatures average in the low 80's all year long.

Attractions |

For world class diving and snorkeling adventures in the East End of
Grand Cayman, visit Ocean Frontiers , they are located less than 1
mile from Windward Cove. Our personal favorite dive operation after
30 years of diving around the world.
Whether taking a trip with Ocean Frontiers or simply heading into
the ocean anywhere around the East End, this part of the island
provides some of the most vibrant snorkeling experiences in Grand
Cayman. Check out the sand holes and coral heads that populate the
waters in back of Windward Cove, or venture beyond into the many
other snorkeling areas that remain largely undiscovered by the
majority of people that come to this island.There are plenty of
places to explore just beyond our area as well. In additition,
everybody wants to see Stingray City at least once if they've never
been, and many go on every visit. We are currently working on a
snorkeling map of our favorite places here and the rest of the
island for our guests going forward.
If you find yourself longing for a larger, more diverse crowd than
the one you brought with you, head down to the Rum Point Club in
Cayman Kai. A bit over 10 miles away, Rum Point is run by the Hyatt,
and attracts locals and tourists alike. The beach is a somewhat
larger version of Windward Cove with casaurina trees, and a large
shallow area for fun in the water. Services there include a beach
bar and grill, bathroom & showers, activity rental (sailboats,
kayaks, jet skis, sting ray city trips, and more). Once again, we
highly recommend one or more trips to Rum Point, followed by a
return to your very own private version on the East End.
Nightlife is not the strong suit of the East End, but that's partly
the point. We do have many fine restuarants within a few miles, and
Portofinos, Vivine's Kitchen, and Arlaines are less than a mile
away. Go see the Barefoot Man right down the street at the Royal
Reef Restaurant, or live entertainment at Morritts Tortuga Club next
door. Listen, the reason you're here in the first place is because
it's not crowded and has the best natural habitats and beauty. Seven
Mile Beach is only 22 miles away and if you've never been we highly
recommend a visit at least once, but we also know how much more you
will appreciate Windward Cove upon your return.
