Beautiful spot
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The property is well located and affords privacy will still be close to various attractions. The pool and beach were wonderful, and we enjoyed kayaking and paddle boarding. Would definitely stay again!

Works Wonders
The property was a a well-maintained and cozy home that offers a comfortable living space for vacationers. It was a quiet and peaceful retreat, where we could focus on relaxation and self-care while the children also had plenty to keep themselves happy between the pool, games, puzzles , kayak, paddle board and tv. Overall, the rental property appeared to be a charming and welcoming space that would be suitable for individuals looking for a comfortable and relaxing place to stay.

Beautiful, private retreat!
Our group of 3 couples had plenty of space to spread out and enjoy the amenities available at the house. 3 of the 4 bedrooms have ocean views, and 2 of the 4 bedrooms have attached bathrooms with the other 2 bedrooms sharing a bathroom. The kitchen, dining area, and living room were plenty big and well appointed for meals in and family game nights. The pool and deck area outside offered both sun and shade to enjoy the direct ocean access just steps from the deck - including 2 kayaks and 2 standup paddleboards. The internet/wifi was fast enough for video calls and steaming. The property manager was very responsive to questions, made great recommendations, and even helped facilitate surprise birthday decorations! The location is away from the busier West End, about a 35 minute drive from the airport, which made for peaceful, quiet surrounding at the house. Our group had a great time and would recommend this rental!

Great family fun!
This property was beautiful, right on the beach and somewhat secluded. We loved the kayaks, paddle boards and snorkeling equipment. They really enhanced our enjoyment. House was very clean and nice. Loved the balconies, enclosed porch, patio chaise lounges and pool. Location to many activities was about 30 minutes but we had rental cars and was worth the drive and seclusion. Several restaurants were nearby.

Beautiful Caribbean water!
Wonderful for three couples traveling together. The pool was used daily and was greatly appreciated because there is no beach entry worthy of swimming. Once you wade out through the mud the water at the reef is incredibly clear. We took the kayaks out daily and tried out stand up paddleboards. The kitchen was equipped nicely. Short drive to rum point. Only thing that would improve is a dock to bypass the muck. Loved the visiting geckos and chickens

Donna: Thanks for your kind words, so glad that you enjoyed your stay!! It is a shame that that the Ian and Grace storms did relocate a lot of the sediment in front of our place. And being a protected marine environment in Frank's Sound, we can't relocate what Mother Nature bestows upon us like the rest of the island. But we certainly still find ways to enjoy the incredible setting and truly find it spectacular at Works Wonders. And the dock - we are 'grandfathered' in for a permit as the remains of the one destroyed by Ivan are still visible.... Let's just say, you never know.... Thanks again, and best to you and yours!

Had everything we needed
Where do I start....the house was very clean, the beds comfortable, the sheets soft, kitchen well stocked with everything we needed. We loved using the kayaks and paddle boards. Loved the pool and the peaceful Frank Sound. We were happy to find the little extras like snorkeling gear, foam noodles and life vests. It was perfect. We ran low on gas for the grill and the manager had a new tank there within 20 minutes. I would describe this property as "Beautiful, Perfect and Private".

Private and Peaceful
We had a wonderful stay at Works Wonders. You can not beat the privacy of this location. Private pool with your own beach and no visible neighbors. Enjoyed taking the kayak out and relaxing on the property. For restaurants we would highly recommend Tukka East for views and food. Blue Rock is a little bar with great food, good place when you need a break from the sun. Best and closest liquor store. Jacque Scott on Frank Sound Rd. Your maps will likely tell you otherwise, don't believe them. Fosters grocery on east end has everything else you need, easy drive. Overall we would recommend driving east and north as they are less busy. The closer you get to boden town the busy the road gets. ***If you are from US request owner to send you a pin of the property. Neither of our maps on our phones picked up the address sent, it's about a mile off.

Our Stay at Works Wonders
The house was simply great. Everything worked perfectly, it was well supplied, the pool was outstanding (clean, perfect temperature), and we just really enjoyed our vacation here. It is on the quiet side of the island, which was our desire. The beach entry isn't ideal for swimming, but it was perfect for use of the supplied paddle boards and kayaks. The water pressure and hot water was excellent. The beds were very comfortable. This house was perfect for 4 adults and 3 children with room for more. Communication with owners and manager was smooth and easy.

This Worked Wonders for us!!!
Our stay at Works Wonders was just what we needed! This was our first time at Grand Cayman and we loved the location of the cottage! It gave us the peace and privacy we look for during our vacations with the combination of being able to easily get to the east end area (Rum Point/Kaibo) and to Seven Mile beach the other way! We also liked that we were close to the botanic gardens (saw parrots and iquanas there) and Crystal Caverns. We loved star gazing at the cottage at night and we brought mini boats to do boat races in the pool and floaties to lounge in during the day! The kitchen had everything we needed for when we ate there (loved the blender to make fruit drinks and bowls) and the gas grill was great. And everything was so clean and organized! We enjoyed naming all the wildlife we saw at the cottage - the hermit crabs, roosters, and lizards and we saw some big fish swimming and a crane in the morning in front of the cottage. We enjoyed the restaurants Kaibo for the beach bbq, Tukka East (do the 5 p.m. bird feeding there!), Thatch and Barrell and in the West we did Calypso and Island Naturals. And a sweet treat at Sweet Dreams which is close to the cottage! For beaches we did Governors Beach, Cemetery Beach, Westin for a little snorkeling, Starfish Point (saw starfishes) Rum Point, Smith's Cove, and Spotts Beach. We enjoyed the 9:30 p.m. Bioluminescence Boat Tour with Cayman Kayaks too! We can't wait to return to Grand Cayman and to Works Wonders for sure!!!

We enjoyed our stay at Works Wonders! The home is in a quiet area but a short drive away from grocery and restaurants! Loved having the Kayaks as you can’t walk for a while into the water. It’s like mud. The water is still and very clear. Once u get out a bit it is sandy with good snorkeling! Furnishings were comfortable and clean. Pool was all the rave with the children!

Great location and bonus of kayaks/paddle boards!
My husband and I have never been to Grand Cayman before and staying at Works Wonders made our vacation fantastic and memorable! The location made it easy to venture to all points of the island...after experiencing the traffic on the West end we are SO glad we didn't rent a home over there! The home offered convenience and privacy and was such a relaxing setting! We kayaked and/or used the paddle boards every morning, relaxed in the pool and fed the local lizards watermelon pieces as our start to the day! Chris the owner and Melinda the property manager gave us excellent restaurant recommendations! We have visited nearly every island in the Caribbean and this stay has confirmed that we will absolutely come back! A few of our favorite experiences include the Cayman Turtle Center (snorkeling with them!), the Blue Iguanas and the gorgeous flowers at the Botanic Center, the Crystal Caves tour, and snorkeling all around the island (including Star Fish Point) but the best was Eden Rock (Mario is superb!). The food was great as well and among our favorites was Czech Inn, Kaibo, Tukka (perfect with the view of the full moon), Yoshi Sushi, The Caboose and even Chicken,Chicken! The house even had a cooler that we filled with fruit, cheese and prosciutto and crackers for a light lunch during our snorkeling day on the West End! We can't say enough about the home AND Chris and Melinda in making our vacation a wonderful experience! THANK YOU for sharing your home!

Stellar trip in every way
The property was absolutely perfect for our family. The setting is extraordinary, and the location is both quiet and yet an easy drive to Georgetown or the North side of the island. The bedrooms are spacious and extremely comfortable and the common spaces are perfect. Loved the porch and the patio around the salt water pool which was always the ideal temperature. We made great use of the kayaks and paddle boards on Frank’s Sound which is generally smooth as glass. Any and all information we needed was provided by the hosts and the fabulous property manager, Melinda. Her communication and responsiveness made everything easy. If you stay at Works Wonders you’ll have a tough time pulling yourself away from the property. We can’t imagine staying anywhere else in Grand Cayman!

If someone honks at you, they are saying thank you or hello!! Ha!!.... Though the weather didn't cooperate (TStorm Alex) there is nowhere on the island we would have wanted to be than Works Wonders ... one note: you CAN NOT walk out into the water here. I sunk and lost my shoes. It is more of a mud than sand in Frank Sound... but great for paddleboarding and kayaking.

Perfect Island Get Away
My family had an amazing stay at Works Wonders. The kitchen was large, lots of counter space, labelled drawers, and more than enough space for multiple people to prepare a meal at once. Each bedroom was equipped with clean linens, the beds were comfortable and a huge perk was having a crib available to us. We absolutely loved the access to Kayaks and were fortunate enough to kayak at night and watch the moon rise from the East which was breathtaking! We would recommend this property to anyone looking for a private, quiet, islandy getaway. You wont be disappointed!

The house was great for our family and offered a more quaint experience than a big resort. Loved having a private pool and easy ocean access.

A bit of a drive to shopping, Georgetown, 7-mile, etc., however, our family enjoyed the space, privacy, and not having close neighbors.

Well Maintained, Beautiful House
We had a wonderful experience with this property. Chris and Lori were extremely helpful and great at communicating with us especially at a time when regulations for visitors were constantly changing. Melinda, the property manager, was terrific. She volunteered to pick up our groceries when there was no delivery available before the holiday. When issues arose, she took care of them immediately. The house was very well appointed with lots of extra little touches that made it feel more like home. Card games, movies, a complete first aid kit. The kitchen had all you would need for meals. Plates, pans, cutlery, appliances all appeared to be new. We are a family of 6 with children ranging in age from 25 to 11. We had plenty of space and privacy in the house. All enjoyed their stay and had enough to do at the house and on the island. We prefer to be on the quieter side of the island so the location was perfect. It is about a 30 minute drive to 7 Mile Beach. About 20 minutes to Kaibo beach and Rum Point. Rum Point was not open during this stay but Kaibo has beautiful beaches and the marina is a good starting point for snorkeling and for some dive spots. The house is close to some of our favorite local restaurants all within 10 to 15 minutes. It was great to have a private beach and pool . The water in front of the house is still and can be muddy. But it was great for kayaking and for paddle boarding. It is relevant to know that the house is easy to find but on the main road and there is some road noise certain parts of the day. Wifi is available. but can be sluggish. Overall an amazing stay in a special home. Would definitely return.

We especially enjoyed eating breakfast on the back patio and having a fire on the beach at night. The water wasn't ideal for swimming but there were kayaks and paddle boards supplied that were a blast. We would totally recommend it to others.

Amazing..everything you could want in a vacation home!!!
Wow...we loved this place and the owners! Communication from the initial booking all the way through our arrival was timely and informative. We were given friendly suggestions on things to do and places to eat along with plenty of information about the house. The owner even reached out to me personally by phone when an earthquake happened nearby two days before our arrival to let me know everything was okay. Now onto the house... it was perfect for my family of 7. Plenty of space, well stocked kitchen and bathrooms, comfortable beds and furniture, plenty of hot water, a/c when we needed it and an absolutely amazing location. It's very private, which we liked. You wake up to that beautiful sand and water view each morning. Start your day with coffee and a book in your chair looking at the water. It was great having the kayaks and paddle boards right there to use each day. We travel a lot and stay in houses all over the country. Overall this was one of the best places we've stayed. Thanks for everything! If we come back, we will stay here again.

Excellent house and location for quiet getaway
Our family of 5 (3 teens) had an amazing time at Works Wonders. Its in an easy-to-get-to location toward the East End and with a small private beach out the back door, it makes for a great place to unwind. We enjoyed every sunset out there because of its breathtaking view. The house itself was outstanding with plenty of room for everyone and every amenity we could possibly need. The kitchen is absolutely stocked!!! Working with Chris and Lori plus the property management team was a breeze; everything was so smooth and communications were great. Chris and Lori offered up multiple suggestions for places to eat and things to do with all of them being spot on! We had an amazing time and would certainly stay here again!

Amazing vacation
The property is really nice and located in a quite residential area. It is fully equipped with all the necessary items you might need to enjoy the beach( paddle boards, kayaks, life vests, towels etc). We were 8 of us and had a wonderful time on the island and explored it ourselves for almost a week.

Great place
The only draw back the water front. Not good for swimming. You needed to walk thru the mucky part and the weeds , to swim.

Ann: Thanks for your review of Works Wonders, we are so glad that you enjoyed our home and your stay! And thank you for the feedback. Although the tranquility of Frank's Sound does create a lake-like bottom at the beachfront, we love this protected marine environment for our snorkeling, paddle boarding, and kayaking. Hope to see you again soon!!

Wonder Works
We had an awesome one week stay at Wonder Works. The owner was very helpful and timely answering our initial questions, and the property manager Pam and her staff were excellent getting us settled in which included stocking the house with groceries that we had delivered before arriving (highly recommended) and bringing us over a cooler for a couple of day trips that we took to Spots and Seven Mile beaches. The house has everything that you could possibly need, including kayaks, paddle boards, lots of beach chairs, fire pit, outside speaker for music, gas grill, washer and dryer, and a well stocked kitchen. There were eight members of our family and it felt like we had plenty of space for everyone. Just an overall great time and relaxing vacation.

Loved Works Wonders
We loved our family vacation in Grand Cayman and the Works Wonders house on Frank's Sound. The location of the property was close enough to amenities and activities but far enough away from the hustle and bustle that it was very private. It was spacious, comfortable, and had everything we could have needed - even cooked a full Thanksgiving dinner! The beach is calm and quiet being on the sound. At first we weren't sure about not having waves but ended up loving the tranquility and taking the paddleboards and kayaks out every day - especially at sunset! The owners and property manager were very accommodating also, emailing back and forth before the trip about restaurants, activity recommendations, etc. Loved Grand Cayman, the house, the location, and the hospitality!

Works Wonders
The Island, the people and the house was just fantastic. If you're looking to get away from the city, Works Wonders is a wonderful location. It's secluded, yet close enough to Georgetown. The drive to town was an experience each day. Roland, the neighbor across the street was so nice. He left us a flower arrangement that he made from the flowers in his yard, and it was just beautiful. I would definitely pick that location again.
