Our Cayman Islands Island House is designed for life in the Tropics where "Inside and Outside become One".
Newly renovated and re-furnished, from the time you move in to the minute you depart, you'll have your own private home with all of its comforts and extra amenities listed below at your disposal.
Located in a protected cove on the Caribbean Sea in the heart of Cayman Kai/Rum Point on the north shore of Grand Cayman, this Island House is ideal for a family or two couples. The Island House features a living room, dining room, music/office room with NEW high speed internet, fully equipped kitchen, laundry room, two story screened lanai, two bedrooms (one king size bed and the other has two double beds) with their own private baths, TV's and balcony's over looking the pool and a lagoon with dock and beach area with your own kayak to enjoy.
Set in landscaped gardens with white sand on the quiet waters of the lagoon within 150 feet of your back door the Island House is fully equipped with every comfort for an outstanding vacation in a contemporary tropical house.
Enter "Barefoot Lagoon" through a pleasant foyer and then sitting in the living room you look out through a 10 feet sliding glass door onto your lanai, backyard with a view of the pool and lagoon or the office/music room look through a 2-story wall of glass windows you will see the famous "Rum Point Beach" within a 150 feet from your front door.
Turn around, see the 2 story screened-in-lanai, back yard, pool and the lagoon in the distance (about 50 feet from the back door) through 20 feet of sliding glass doors that fold away into the wall. Adjacent to the living room is the dining room and kitchen, complete with coffee maker, microwave, blender and all the necessary cooking tools. Off to the side is a closet with games and storage space, 1/2 bath, laundry room with washer and dryer, ironing board, laundry supplies.
The 2 story screened in lanai contains an informal dining area (with barbeque gas grill) directly off the kitchen that provides an unobstructed view of your hand raked sandy back yard with tropical tress and shrubs leading to the pool (within 50 feet), boat dock and shoreline of the lagoon where you can launch your own one or two users kayak.
The Island House has two bedrooms suites located upstairs. Each bedroom has a full private bathroom with shower and bath, and sliding glass doors opening on to a private screened-in-balcony (both rooms have a lagoon and pool view), walk-in-closets, ceiling fans, TV's, clock radio and individual air conditioning . One bedroom is equipped with a king size bed and dresser, the other has two double beds and dresser.
Our Island House is shaded under many Australian pines and Palm trees and enjoys consistent trade winds
that come across from Rum Point Beach, through the glass windows in the front of the Island House, through the downstairs and out through the two 10 foot glass doors that slide away to open the first floor living room, dining room and kitchen to a two story lanai overlooking the lagoon and pool. Usually no air-conditioning is required. However, our Island House has full air conditioning in the first floor area and individual air conditioners in each bedroom.
Its location in a protected lagoon which exits into the Caribbean Sea, lends to the beauty and charm of Barefoot Lagoon. You will enjoy kayaking in the lagoon and Caribbean sea, drifting for hours searching the ocean floor, for fish, turtles and coral or discover star fish, tropical fish and other marine life. It is not uncommon to see green sea turtles swimming around in the cove.
The lagoon is a no wake zone which means that boats can not travel at speeds in excess of 5 mph, thus
making it safe to take your one or two seat kayak and drift around. The lagoon also offers protection from bad weather, when the ocean outside the cove is rough there is hardly any change in the wave action inside the cove, making it always beautifully calm. The cove

The initial deposit we require to confirm a reservation, while not refundable, is "completely transferable without penalty" -- subject to certain conditions. Should we be advised, in writing and sufficiently in advance, of your inability to occupy the reserved Island House, we'll gladly apply the entire initial deposit to an alternate stay within the twelve months following the date of cancellation, subject only to availability. Current rates, in effect when the new reservation is made, will apply.
To transfer the initial deposit to a new stay, and not charge the remaining balance due; we must be notified by e-mail, fax, or letter, at least thirty-five (35) days prior to confirmed arrival for all reservations, except those with arrival or departure during the Holiday period (December 17th to January 7th, inclusively), for which we require sixty-five (65) days prior notice.

Our policy, although perhaps less flexible than that of many large hotel chains, is essential in renting our property. Unlike most hotels in the US, Canada, Europe and other metropolitan areas, ours cannot count on any "local trade", or guests arriving by car at the last minute. We depend almost exclusively on an overseas clientele arriving by air for visits invariably planned well in advance. The cancellation notice stipulated is the minimum we consider necessary to have any chance of rebooking accommodations.
We sincerely hope that you can appreciate our situations, and we thank you for your understanding

Villa Rentals Reviews for Barefoot Lagoon Island House at Cayman Kai, Grand Cayman in Cayman Kai
April 13, 2009
Reviewer:
The Baker Family
From: Vienna, Virginia
Thank you for an absolutely fabulous week in the Grand Cayman. Barefoot Island Lagoon House is perfectly located and we enjoyed the pool, the lagoon, and especially Rum Point Beach. We rented a car from McCurleys, which I highly recommend, and did travel around the entire island. We decided that Rum Point is the perfect location! We enjoyed snorkeling and kayaking and especially loved seeing the sting rays swimming in the water at Rum Point. An extra special thank you for the delicious dinner at the Kaibo - a real treat! We have rented several houses through VRBO and this is one of our favorites. Mike went above and beyond to answer all of our questions and it was a vacation that the Baker Family will long treasure. Thank you and can't wait to return!

Hi Mr. Nevins,
I am finally getting around to thanking you for a truly wonderful
vacation at your beautiful island home.
Our vacation this past April was excellent and too short by far. It was my parents' first trip to Grand Cayman, and they have done nothing but rave about how clean and relaxing Barefoot Lagoon Island House was. They loved walking to Rum Point everyday for lunch, to relax, to look through their small shop, and to book a Stingray City tour.
My step-father spent many hours relaxing by the pool, while my mom
enjoyed the kayak and collecting shells near the lagoon.
I can't tell you how much it means to me to have been able to share such a wonsderful place with them. They work so hard for everything they have. It was just great to see the stress melt away and the smiles on their faces.
Oh yeah, my husband and I had smiles on our faces too!
Everyone has already decided that we want to stay at your lovely home again the next time we are blessed with a trip to Grand Cayman.
Sincerely,
Dr. Kimberly Morden

Owner-Supplied Testimonial
Barefoot lagoon was the most enjoyable vacation spot my family has ever chosen. We rented the house for a week and wish it had been two. My children loved having their own room, and the rest of the house was extremely comfortable. The kitchen was completely stocked including recipes from previous guests. We spent every morning out on the Lani and then headed to Rum Point for the rest of the day. After spending the day on the beach the kids did like the option of a pool to play in at the end of the day , the pool was just a short walk out the door and the house provided floats for use. We are already planning out return trip for this year and plan on staying 10 days. This the the iedal location for Families to stay, away from crowded seven mile beach but still reachable by car in about 20 minutes.

We could have easily turned two weeks into four weeks here at your lovely Island House at Cayman Kai. Everything was so lovely and comfortable. Tony and Linda D'Oranzio, Chalfont, PA.
Had a great two weeks. The house has everything, in great shape and very clean. Plus great neighbors. Already planning for next year at least two week and maybe four weeks. Angelo & Alice Baroni, Philadelphia, Pa
Thank you both for sharing your lovely home with us. It is rare that we find a home away from home! We loved the Cayman Island. It has been our most restful vacation, yet we still got to do many things. We loved the Stingrays! Lisa, Burton and Noah Warren, Long Island, New York
Bob, I didn't get a chance to leave feedback at the house as we spent to much time relaxing at the beach with a "Rum Point Sunset" in hand. I wanted to thank you for your initial call to us regarding your home and the time spent educating us about the island and locals. I am so thankful as we all decided that the best place to stay on Grand Cayman is Barefoot Lagoon. The perfect location for nothing but relaxation. We ventured into Georgetown, the West End and Seven Mile Beach area and were overwhelmed with all the people and crowded beaches. Our children enjoyed the lagoon area with the hermit crabs, jellyfish, land crabs and fish. They had a wonderful time playing with the swim noodles and rafts and my husband and I took turns snorkeling off the beach. If we had initially stayed on Seven Mile Beach I'm certain we would have been greatly disappointed as our whole intent was relaxation. One of our best nights was spent at Cecil's out on the lanai watching the sunset. I am back to work almost depressed as I miss the beach and the house. Our last night there we hung out on the hammocks watching the stars (which I haven't seen that many stars in years) as both my girls cried because we had to go home. Thanks so Much! Keith, Niki, Jordyn and Brooke Saindon, Broomfield, CO
Dear Bob and Eileen, We had a wonderful vacation in the Cayman Islands. It was so beautiful, with great weather, nice people and your home is very pretty. We went swimming with the sting rays. Several days it was windy so we drove to the south side of the island to beaches (Spotts) to get away from the wind. The snorkeling was amazing, I have never seen so many conch shells. Staying in Rum Point was great, it was nice to be able to walk across the street to the beach and to eat. The whole family got a kick out of the rental car with the steering wheel on the opposite side and driving on the left side. It was a wonderful vacation and we look forward to our next visit. Thank you for all of your advice with the house, pool and kayak. We did try the kayak one evening in the lagoon and everyone had fun. Thanks again and we hope to get back there soon. Todd & Eileen Carter and Family, Rocky Mount, North Carolina
We thoroughly enjoyed our trip- the Island, the weather, the sea, the people and Barefoot Lagoon were delightful. What a wonderful experience we had and hope to repeat. Alvin and Konnie Smithers & Family, Flintstone, GA
Hi Bob, We had the "MOST" relaxing vacation we have ever had! Since we've been to 7-mile before, and have seen most of the island, we felt compelled to lay on the beach, try ALL of the tropical drinks the Wreck Bar offered, go sailing, some diving, and some eating out, and a little shopping. The house was great and we were very happy we chose yours (we had looked at another home in the area that "claimed" to be within walking distance to the beach, but in reality was not- we drove around and found it!). Our youngest used the kayak a couple of times (and we were sure to secure everything when we left), but mostly we loved the porch in the morning having coffee and enjoying the outstanding view! Thanks again- we Really all needed a break!! Dawn, Andy, Adam, Grant, and Ross Johnson, Fort Worth, TX.
Dear Bob & Eileen, WOW. What else can we say? This w
