Crescent Beach has received the 2017/18 Certificates of Excellence and has never received a rating of less than 5 stars from our guests. SAND is a home away from home - a 2100 sq.ft. ground floor apartment built in 2015 with 3 bed/bath with bedrooms 2 and 3 being convertible to either KING or 2 x TWIN beds, open living, dining and kitchen area with superb beach and sea views. Perfect for families who like quiet, remote living but with many amenities within 30 minutes driving. A second apartment, SKY, is on the upper floor and offers similar amenities. The interior is modern, tastefully decorated and well equipped for cooking and entertainment. Kitchen appliances include gas stove, microwave, double door fridge/freezer, dish washer, combo washing machine/dryer. All lighting within both SAND and SKY is LED and high efficiency central air units are easily controlled from a simple thermostat. Doors are equipped with open detectors which will switch off the air conditioning if a patio door is left open. Our goal has been to try to conserve energy and use it efficiently for the comfort of our guests. Master bedroom features king bed, second and third bedroom features Twin beds which can be converted to King. cots are available on request.

There is a pool, courtyard with barbecue and eating facility. The Games room is equipped with pool table; table tennis and dart board.

The home theatre is comfortably equipped with bean bags and chairs. There is a large selection of DVDs.

Situated in a protected zone, the coral beach is a turtle nesting site and opens onto a 200 x100 yard bay with living coral and a low-lying reef about 100 yards out. Typically, more than 500 baby turtles leave the beach for the Caribbean Sea every year. Many of our guests have witnessed hand release by us of turtles which were left behind in the nest. The coral beach has both sandy and rocky features which vary as wind and wave direction shift. Off the beach is the best snorkeling to be found close to the shore in Grand Cayman.

A variety of top local restaurants are within 10 minutes driving and one of Cayman's best diver operations is just 5 minutes away.

SAND being at ground level features direct access to the beach from the patio. SKY is very elevated with the front patio facing open countryside and the ocean-facing balcony being each 15 feet high and tempered safety glass balusters form the railings to ensure a superb view of the ocean and reef even from inside the apartment.

For larger families or for special events such as weddings or family reunions, Sand and Sky together provide six bedrooms in total for a maximum party of 12 persons. And with just under one acre of sandy grounds and tropical gardens, it is a perfect site for the wedding itself.

    We had such an amazing stay at Crescent Beach! We had such a nice time relaxing on the beach, snorkeling, kayaking, making a campfire, and watching all the Indiana Jones movies in the theater! Thank you so much for opening up this little piece of paradise and sharing it with the world! This is the best place to stay in the Cayman Islands by far! Thank you so much for your kindness and hospitality Paul and Fay Anne, and your dedication to this beautiful place! The Henry Family

    This place is a 10 star! It’s amazing our family had the best stay! We could spread out and felt like we were the only ones there Paul and Fay Anne are excellent Hosts and if we needed anything they helped in anyway they could to accommodate! Skip the 7 mile beach and head to Sand & Sky! Amazing place!

    We were very pleased with our stay! The bedrooms are spacious, and the beds were firm with very soft bedding. The kitchen was well-appointed, and we made good use of the amenities onsite. The pool was perfect in the afternoons, and the view of the waves was lovely. From the property it was a short 35 minute drive to Seven Mile Beach, which afforded us many opportunities to try different restaurants along the way. The absolute highlight for us was attending two little turtle hatchlings on their way to the water. We were very glad our hosts included us. They were responsive before and after our stay, offering advice that improved our experience on this beautiful island. Highly recommend!

    This place was great for us. Nicely secluded but within 5 minutes of the far east end so we could dive with Ocean Frontiers, a superb dive company. Paul and Fay live on property but were totally unobtrusive and were super helpful, especially in releasing into the ocean baby turtles left behind in the nest right there on the beach. Will definitely stay here again.

    My family and I had a great time staying at Sand. The owners were very responsive, helpful, and kind. The place was beautiful and comfortable. We especially appreciated how responsible the owners are with regard to the turtles nesting on their beach, and we were thrilled to find turtle tracks right outside our window one morning. Our kids also spotted an agouti by the property. The location of the property is great - the East End is nice and quiet, and it's just a short drive to the dive shop or to the gorgeous botanical park. The blow holes are also only a couple of minutes' drive from the property and were fun to visit a few times during the week. Great owners, great property. Would highly recommend.

    Our family of six loved our stay here. We stayed in the sand unit and it was clean and spacious. With three bedrooms and three baths we felt at home and comfortable. It was well stocked with everything we needed. Paul and Faye Anne were both great and so welcoming. You can tell they have put so much into making this space the perfect retreat for their guest. My teens loved all the outside games and cornhole but our favorite feature by far was the theatre room. We watched movies almost nightly!! We will for sure stay here again!!

    The house was exactly as described online! Our group of 6 (ranging in age from 14 to 70) thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Well stocked kitchen, nice selection of books, games and puzzles. HUGE library of DVDs in the theater room. Comfortable furniture to lounge by the pool or hammocks on the beach. We basically had the beach to ourselves. Just what we were looking for!

    We had a fantastic time! This property is gorgeous and well equipped. Our kids enjoyed snorkeling everyday and saw SO many things! It was a great experience. Paul and Fay Anne are outstanding hosts. Brent and Connie are great neighbors! We sure hope to return to Grand Cayman and will most certainly stay here!

    We had an amazing stay at the SAND. We started every morning, peeing out of our bedroom, sliding glass door, at the rolling waves through the beautiful palm trees. Coffee on the porch in the morning with cocktails in the afternoon. Watching the kids play in the sand, search for hermit crabs and explore the tide pools was priceless. The combination of sea and Pool.was so perfect for our family. The location is also really convenient, right next to a little mini store for any last-minute things and cause to many little restaurants and beaches on the east side. The beds were super comfortable and the house had lots of room for relaxing on the couch, couches and dining space for 10 of us. Paul and Fay Anne were a pleasure to meet and were more than Accommodating of all our needs. They are wonderful hosts which made our stay even more enjoyable!

    We had such an amazing stay! The house was well kept up and so much room inside & outside to enjoy!! The snorkeling outside was amazing!! (we had pretty low tide so we didn’t get to get out there much). Our kids loved looking for seaglass & coral outside and the pool!! If you’re looking for a great spot away from the crowds this is your place!! All the beds were super comfortable! And they were so a combating to our 9month old! Even provided a crib for him. My only downfall was the fire alarm went off every time we cooked lol (smoke or no smoke) which isn’t their fault. And the gas stove cooks pretty hot so it takes some getting used to! But that’s not a deal breaker for me!! We would 1000% stay here again!! The owners live next door and are sooooo friendly but also let you feel like you’re on vacation! GREAT HOSTS!

    Our stay at Crescent Beach was nothing short of amazing. From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the stunning views and the exceptional quality of the SAND apartment. The spacious 2100 sq.ft. ground-floor apartment felt like a true home away from home. With three bedrooms and three bathrooms, it comfortably accommodated our family. The open living, dining, and kitchen area offered superb beach and sea views, making every moment a joy. The modern, tastefully decorated interior was equipped with everything we needed, including a gas stove, microwave, double door fridge/freezer, dishwasher, and combo washing machine/dryer. The LED lighting and high-efficiency central air units kept us comfortable while conserving energy. We appreciated the smart feature that switched off the air conditioning if a patio door was left open. The master bedroom was a haven with its king bed, and the other rooms were perfect for our needs. The outdoor amenities were just as impressive, with a beautiful pool, a courtyard with barbecue and dining facilities, and a games room with a pool table, table tennis, and a dart board. The location was perfect for our family, providing a quiet, remote setting with many amenities within a 30-minute drive. Overall, our stay at Crescent Beach exceeded all expectations. The attention to detail, comfort, and sustainability of the SAND apartment made our vacation unforgettable. We can't wait to return!
