We stayed for five days and had a great time—very nice accommodations. There are plenty of "toys" for playing in the water. We have been going to the Caymans for many years and stayed around Seven Mile Beach. The Rum Point area is much less crowded and more laid—back; however, there's plenty to do and good restaurants in the area. I would highly recommend the Carolina Kai.

Many times you see photos that look great and then you find that they were very creatively staged. Not the case with Carolina Kai, it was better than the photos.We stayed in September and did find that a number of restaurants close for the month, however, we also had no lines or other people around. It was very peaceful and quiet. Perfect stay and just what we needed.

6 Stars!!! 5 Stars is not enough. The property is 100% as described including all the amenities both indoors and out. This is the most well-appointed property we have ever enjoyed in our VRBO experience. Host communications were absolutely the best with timely and accurate information as well as a genuine care for our comfort and enjoyment. We didn't just rent a house, we rented a home.
Wonderful sunrises to begin your day.
All the accoutrements  to cook and dine well.
Bonus! A heron on the pier to begin this day.

We had another fantastic stay at Carolina Kai The amenities are still hands down the best of any VRBO we have ever rented and we have rented many! The AC worked great, the home was clean as a whistle, the water toys were numerous and in excellent condition. We invited family to join us this time and they were all blown away by the home, the property, and the attention to details. We saw huge spiny lobsters hanging out in big pipes under the large covered dock to the left of the house. We also saw lots of fish around and under the private dock on the property. We look forward to coming back again! 5 Stars

Amazing home near Rum Point

This house made for the perfect family vacation. It was close to Star Fish point and some good snorkeling spots. The kids loved swimming at the house and playing on the beach. The beds were comfortable and the home had everything you needed. It was so relaxing and wonderful.

Incredible getaway

We wanted a house away from 7 mile but all the conveniences of home with a beach and pool. We got it in spades. We’ve stayed at a lot of nice VRBOs for vacation, but the Downing’s place surpassed all expectations and more. From Diving company recommendations to being responsive to every question within minutes(even months out of our stay), to having every possible accommodation for a vacation home, they provided such great insights and comforts of home. We like to travel all over but if we come back to the Caymans, no doubt we will stay here again. Great trip, relaxing and eventful. Thanks again!! Also, shout out to Barbara, the property manager. She was great!,

This home is everything you see in the pictures and more. The host was incredibly responsive and offered wonderful recommendations. The home literally had everything you could need for a great vacation. Barbara, the property manager, was also super accommodating which was very helpful since I was traveling with my 3 year old. The home is a bit of a drive away from some of the more popular areas (7 mile beach), but if you’re not looking for that, this is perfect! The beach at the home is grassy, but very clear. The water was also surprisingly warm, which we loved. I 10/10 recommend this home and can’t wait to visit again!

Quiet Oasis

We were thoroughly impressed with this rental.From the moment we walked in , we were in awe of the great design and flow of the home. We loved the open concept and the view from the living room was awesome. We also loved the close proximity to the private pool and outdoor seating area which was our favorite hangout spot. The house is tastefully decorated with many luxury touches. We would not hesitate to rent again when visiting the Caymans; this is definitely not your typical rental with all the extras included. We were looking for a quiet retreat and this definitely fit the bill, although you are within an arm's reach of Rum point and Kaibo yacht club for dinner and additional beaches.
