Flip Flop Kai

Welcome to this lovely private villa situated on a sandy beach with scenic views of the Bioluminescent Bay in Cayman Kai. Newly redecorated and painted, Flip Flop is a popular 3-bedroom beach cottage with fabulous amenities.

This home boasts stunning water vistas from almost every room plus a delightful beachfront screened veranda and thatched gazebo, where you can listen to the gentle sound of lapping waves and savor beautiful sunsets. Flip Flop ticks almost all the boxes with a pool, sunset views, screened verandah, thatched cabana, private dock, beach shower, and within walking distance to beach bars and restaurants. The owner includes 3 kayaks. Paddleboards are available for discounted rental/delivery.

The freshwater private pool is shaded by palm trees, making it a perfect hideaway spot for relaxing with a tropical drink. Note, that spa heat is not available currently (available in winter 2025).

On the sandy beach, you can enjoy paddleboarding and kayaking. During moonless nights, you can venture out into the quiet cove to witness the incredible light display provided by nature's bioluminescence! The owners also own the adjacent sandy lot; perfect for frisbee, soccer, or just extra privacy.

Flip Flop Kai has a private dock with thatched cabana, which allows you to rent a boat or jet ski. Book a charter to Stingray City and coordinate dockside pick-up/drop-off! It's the ultimate convenience for private snorkeling or scuba charters with our friends at Silver Thatch Water Sports.

Inside, this beautifully decorated beach house is an ideal place for a comfortable family gathering or a fun vacation with friends. Lots of glass doors/windows bring the Caribbean blue indoors.

The open-concept kitchen is fully equipped, perfect for the chef in your group to prepare delicious meals. There's also a gas BBQ for grilling and a large thatched beach cabana for sunset cocktail hour.

Within walking distance of the villa, you'll discover Starfish Point, a family-friendly beach spot where you can interact with starfish. Along the way, you'll find The Kaibo, a beachfront dining destination with two restaurants and a coffee shop.

To the north, you won't want to miss the new Rum Point Club, a public beach with great snorkeling, beach loungers, bar service, an open-air beach bar, plus a new restaurant serving lunch and dinner. Red Sail Watersports operates off the dock for excursions to Stingray Sandbar, or a sunset cruise just before dinner.

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 cove-front homes in Cayman Kai offer calm serene water for docking a rental boat, private charter pick-up if the villa has a dock, or just safe shallow water swimming close to the shoreline for little children. Adults won’t swim in the cove—Rum Point Beach is too nice by comparison—the water is shallow and has a softer bottom and there is no reef here for fish life...but we do see the occasional turtle, eagle ray, or tarpon swim by in the shallows!

Another benefit is that we rarely get any seaweed in the cove so the beaches stay cleaner than the oceanfront beaches.

The big draw to this area is the proximity to the Rum Point Club, a public beach club within a short walk that offers a fantastic barefoot beach, water sports, a restaurant and bar, a gift shop, and pick-up beach volleyball games. Also, nearby is the Kaibo, a beachfront restaurant, bar, coffee shop, and marina.

Lastly, about 20 minutes east there are 2 large resorts--Morritt's and The Reef--that offer manicured beaches, plus restaurants, a grocery store, plus wine & spirits store. These two resorts also offer scuba, and snorkel trips, jet ski rentals, windsurfing, kiteboarding, oceanfront pools, and bar service.

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. This location is VERY rarely affected.
