***Property Overview***
Welcome to KiToCay! This 3,000 sq. ft. home is located in the village of Old Man Bay on the island's beautiful North Side.
KiToCay boasts a panoramic oceanfront living area with spectacular views, plus an over-the-water deck with a tiled cabana. Guests have compared the views and feel of this home with that of being on the bow of a cruise ship with the open ocean enveloping your senses from virtually every direction.
The over-the-water deck provides access to the waters down below via a spiraling staircase. However, the best and safest way to enter the water will be from either of the sandy beach lots next door. Dubbed Toki Beach, the east lot is furnished with a hammock ringed with palm trees for guests to enjoy seaside relaxation under the shade. Guests have used this beach to host small weddings, rehearsal dinners, and private events.
The snorkeling here is incredible. The reef is about 100 yards straight out from Toki Beach. We strongly recommend snorkeling along the east of the boat channel which is marked by two navigation poles. Snorkeling beyond the poles near the reef cut is risky! Powerful undercurrents can prove dangerous even for experienced snorkelers.
Inside, the home's interiors are just as impressive as any on Grand Cayman. The oceanfront living area features an open-concept design with modern decor and furniture including a plush sectional sofa, HD television, and sweeping ocean views that will take your breath away.
The villa's 3 bedrooms are spread across the upper and lower levels with the primary suite upstairs and two bedrooms downstairs.

***Villa Cleaning & Sanitation***
All villas are cleaned and sanitized before each guest's arrival. We also ask our owners to provide a starter supply of extra cleaning products. Additional housekeeping services can be purchased after booking in 3-hour time blocks. Scheduling may be coordinated with your property manager upon arrival.
***Beach Notes***
All beaches in Grand Cayman are technically public since the Crown owns up to the high watermark. Be advised, the beach or water entry behind your property may vary slightly from the images displayed due to shifting weather and tide patterns. The next-door beach is also always available for your use. We advise guests to wear foot protection (pool socks or aqua shoes) when entering the ocean to avoid injury on coral heads, ironshore, or rocks.
***Ocean Debris & Sargassum Seaweed***
Beaches in Grand Cayman may also experience floating ocean debris and sargassum weed seasonally. Sargassum is a generally harmless floating seaweed that's largely seasonal in summer. Our owners make efforts to remove heavy sargassum and will have the beach raked before your arrival.
Should sargassum be extremely heavy behind your property, we will reach out to the owner for alternative solutions which may include a partial refund or relocation. We try our best to work around Mother Nature.
