This may just be The Quintessential Cayman Cottage. painted pink, with a white standing seam roof, and set on a white sand beach beside the blue, blue sea, it doesn’t get any more “islandy” that this! From its inviting gingerbread front porch overlooking the sand yard studded with coconut palm trees, into its bright and cheerful interior with the coziest cottage décor, through to its pool deck beyond and an endless stretch of Caribbean Sea out to the horizon, this place is just too cute for words. You wouldn’t be living here so much as “playing house”.

Sliding glass doors and French doors are used throughout so there’s always a seaview and a breeze at this playful Rum Point property in the quiet and secluded district of North Side. Recently renovated and redecorated, with all new appliances, furniture and amenities, this 2,200-square-foot charmer is set on a deep lot offering exceptional privacy. Yet it’s convenient to restaurants, beach bars and watersports operators. There’s even a neighbourhood grocery nearby.

The living room, which includes a TV viewing area with upholstered furniture, DVD/VCR and cable, opens out onto a 50-foot-long screened-in porch with a roof overhang offering shade and protection from the elements. This is the best in indoor/outdoor living, where the lines happily blur.

There’s a cheery kitchen with a Jenn-Aire range and a window over the sink, as well as a breakfast island to start your day right. ML#089453

Tiled floors, vaulted ceilings, and fans are featured throughout this 2-bedroom/2-bath cottage by the sea. The bedrooms have French doors and oceanfront views, and open on to the screened porch. The master bath is complete with Jacuzzi. All linens and towels, in colorful Caribbean colours, are included. Other amenities include a washer/dryer, central air conditioning and high-speed internet access.

There’s lush landscaping with lots of coconut palms swaying in the breeze, and plenty of parking. A barbecue patio is off to one side. The cottage’s own private pool and sundeck overlook the sea and sandy beach. Reef-protected, it’s a perfect snorkel spot. A protective seawall, also painted pink, demarcates the property. And, when you come back in from your swim, there’s even an outdoor foot shower to wash the sand from your feet. It’s truly an island lifestyle dream. ML#089453

But why dream? Why not make it your reality?
