The property is beautiful and well appointed. The location is pretty private, somewhat secluded by vegetation, however there is a bit of road noise and some construction in neighboring homes. There is walkable food and liquor from this location. Snorkelling was very good.
Loved the house, chickens, not so much. Woke me up everynight and early every morning. The beach and backyard privacy is amazing. Beds are way too hard, we tried both. privacy
The house was exactly how it was previewed online. Perfect private back yard with a pool and a great view thru the short path to the beach. Busy road out front but once out back a perfect paradise! Centrally located in the island so far enough from the tourist areas but still an easy drive to all the spots. We loved snorkeling behind the house. Also, a great chef has just opened a restaurant next door and will cater to whatever you want!
The house was clean and in good condition. As the houses to either side are empty (and apparently have been for years), the property was very quiet and private.
While technically a public beach, we never saw anyone else on the beach and enjoyed a dip in the pool after being in the ocean.
There was a bit of road noise, but it never bothered us.
Word of advice, though, back into the driveway, makes it much easier to get out.
Thanks for a great stay!
The property is exactly as presented, with an amazing backyard pool, and a few more steps to a great beach. We spent 9 days here, and really enjoyed hanging out at the beach right behind the property and relaxing in the pool with the kids. The island has a lot to offer, so many beautiful beaches to visit, and this house is close to most of them. 7 mile beach is about 25 minutes and we did visit 1 time, it is worth the short drive for sure, just pack everything you need! We did a private boat excursion with Robert Soto, highly recommend this to really enjoy so many cool places in a 4 hour trip.
The property manager is great, very responsive and was in contact with us as needed and quick to respond when I had a question.
The house set up is perfect for our family. Allowing our two teenage boys a complete living space of their own upstairs. My husband and I found the mattress in downstairs bedroom extremely firm and uncomfortable. So the stay was great, but we didn’t sleep well. What the interior of the house lacks the backyard makes up for! The private area is absolutely lovely. The pool, the palm trees, the ocean….its a dreamy setting.
The house is designed for privacy between floors. Had we had another couple join us it would have been nice to enjoy some privacy or gather as a group. The back yard is it’s own oasis should you choose not to leave the property. Between the pool, beach and ocean you had choices as to how to spend your time. Picturesque, peaceful and tranquil is how I would describe the back of the property. I would recommend backing a car into the driveway as to give better visibility when wanting to pull out into traffic but overall the property was perfect for our stay.

Reviewer Comments:
Home was very clean and neat with a nice walking beach, but in a bad location. The road was at your front door on a curve and extremely difficult to get out. The house had well-equipped kitchen, hair driers, comfortable furniture.
We are a family of four, with two older kids (13 & 18) and we stayed for 6 nights.
The house was very clean upon arrival, the house was nearly spotless. The overall house is nice and the space worked well for our situation. The upstairs is setup in a way that the space is very private from the down stairs. Both of the beds have firm mattresses for those that want to know.
The outside space is pretty nice with some privacy as well as direct access to the beach. We stayed about 10 days after Hurricane Beryl passed and beach cleanup efforts had not begun so I can't speak to how the beach would normally look but it could certainly be a great space after cleanup.
The communication was fairly prompt and responsive, no issues there.
For those that are light sleepers, you should be aware that the house is directly on the road and Bodden Rd is very busy from early morning to late night. The busy road also made it a challenge to park in the driveway, definitely recommend backing into the driveway so you can pull forward out on the road, otherwise you are blind to the oncoming traffic.
The neighborhood is an older area and has not been kept up well, this house looks nice but I can't say the same for those houses directly around it.
As the description states, the house is nearly in the middle of the island, it took us about 30 minutes to drive to drive to Starfish Point one day and about 30 minutes to drive to Ristorante Pappagallo which is about as far as you can go either direction.
My wife and I had a great time at Serenity Sands. Its clean and spacious. Property mgmt very helpful when needed. We had a great time snorkeling, making our own meals with convenient kitchen setup, thanks again!

Great place
We had a very relaxing time and I enjoyed the house very much . The private beach was the best.
My husband and I are very particular. This house has the basics for your stay. The location is okay. We noticed a lot more traffic than years past. Definitely hard to pull in and out of if you rent a car. Chickens are obnoxious, but hey they are wild! Cleanliness was just okay. I’m sure we could have had a maid service come in and clean again but it was subpar on arrival. We chose not to complain but I thought about it. Grape Tree Cafe is the absolute best and convenient. Cayman Villa customer service is outstanding!!! Our flight was delayed several hours and our host Janice was in touch with us the entire time and even called the rental car company to let them know about our late arrival. She even offered to pick us up if we arrived too late to retrieve our car that night. Overall we are happy! Thank you Cayman Villas!
What a lovely home for our family vacation! Private beach, private pool that was nice and warm. Incredible views. Clean and centrally located to both ends of the island. This was a perfect location for our little family getaway!

Perfect Location to Unwind and Relax in Private Setting
We stayed at this bungalow after 8 days in a luxury condo on seven mile Beach. Nice change away from the crowds and private beach setting was just what we needed. The bungalow is rustic and could use some updates but overall we enjoyed our stay, especially taking in the local restaurants which are much more reasonably priced than Seven mile Beach. Would stay again!
Thoroughly enjoyed our visit, and the property was as advertised -- very clean, separate bedroom areas for privacy, well appointed. We prefer to stay closer to 7-mile beach but were not disappointed with this location. Only negatives were road noise as the house is right on the street, and that blasted rooster that crowed every night.

Great quiet getaway
This house was great. Clean, comfortable and right on the beach with a very large beach front. Boddentown beach is good for snorkeling and with our swim shoes we were able to walk out and enjoy the water to swim. The pool is perfect for a couple. Private and with a great view. Away from hustle and bustle of 7 mile beach we really enjoyed this place. Definitely need a car!

Amazing experience and world class accommodations is what awaited for us in Cayman. Penny was first class in helping us arrive and get situated.
Absolutely enjoyed my stay. The island is so beautiful the the house is on a great piece of property. You can enjoy a nice dip in the pool or the ocean and the outdoor space is all so great. I loved laying in the hammock or just lounging in the multiple seating areas in the yard. The house was great also, the only thing was the light situation was a little complicated to figure out. But overall, great house and amazing property!

Lovely out of the way oasis
The property looks exactly as advertised, and outfitted even better. We love to cook and hang out at after a busy day of scuba diving, and the kitchen was fantastic along with the new Weber Gas Grill. Our favorite part was spending time outside enjoying the beautiful ocean view, and watching the beautiful birds fly over along with the rooster, hen and chicks who live next door. Embrace the local culture, beautiful beaches and nearby restaurants. Serenity Sands is a little piece of heaven on earth.

Amazing vacation!
We spent a week here on this beautiful island and stayed at serenity Sands. We have two young children and could not have chosen a better place to stay. It was so amazing to be able to get up in the morning, make a coffee and walk to the beach to watch the sun rise. We all enjoyed the days playing on the beach, swimming and kayaking. The property itself was immaculate, clean and very comfortable. The back yard was everything you can ask for equipped with a BBQ, small pool, multiple areas where you can just lie down and relax and last but not least the beautiful ocean and private beach. Would revisit again in a heartbeat!
