***Property Overview***
Welcome to Babylon Reef, a freshly renovated oceanfront villa, complete with a sundeck and private pool, situated directly on one of the best shallow snorkeling sites on the entire island. Protected by a coral reef, there are rarely any currents or waves to contend with so children can play in the shallows all day.

The ocean views are stunning the moment you walk through the front door. Natural light and scenic ocean views flood the entire living area through the sunroom's retractable glass doors, which can be opened to allow a breeze to flow through on days when air conditioning is unnecessary.

Cute Caribbean architecture and a modern, open-concept design lend a great island feel throughout.

A full kitchen, complete with modern appliances, overlooks the dining area with seating for 6. An outdoor dining table on the pool deck, under tall palm trees, is also available. All cookware, glassware, cutlery, and flatware are provided.

Sleeping Arrangements
(Sleeps 6 guests total)
-- Bedroom 1: primary suite, lower-level, king bed, ocean views, walk-out access to the sunroom, ensuite with shower.
-- Bedroom 2: upper-level, king bed, ocean views, shares hall bathroom equipped with a shower bath.
-- Bedroom 3: upper-level, two twin beds, ocean views, shares hall bathroom equipped with a shower bath; beds can be fitted into a king bed upon request.

Babylon Reef's private, well-landscaped lot includes a white picket fence, soft zoysia grass lawns, and a large sandy backyard around the pool. The owner provides a cornhole set on the beach, complete with boards and bean bags, plus 2 tandem kayaks and 1 child-size kayak for exploring, beach hammocks for relaxing, and an outdoor shower with hot and cold running water.

With an empty lot on each side, Babylon Reef is a private and secluded retreat. The beach can be both sandy and pebbly depending on the time of year, therefore, we advise guests to bring pool shoes to avoid foot injuries.

Two large resorts with water sports, manicured sandy beaches, and oceanfront bars and restaurants are just a short 10-minute drive east.

*Note: Adult and kid bicycles, plus tandem and single kayaks, are available for discounted rental; a signed waiver is required.

***Beach Notes***
All beaches in Grand Cayman are technically public since the Crown owns up to the high watermark. Be advised, the beach or water entry behind your property may vary slightly from the images displayed due to shifting weather and tide patterns. The next-door beach is also always available for your use. We advise guests to wear foot protection (pool socks or aqua shoes) when entering the ocean to avoid injury on coral heads, ironshore, or rocks.

***Ocean Debris & Sargassum Seaweed***
Beaches in Grand Cayman may also experience floating ocean debris and sargassum weed seasonally. Sargassum is a generally harmless floating seaweed that has increased in frequency in recent years. Although sargassum is an unsightly nuisance, it is largely seasonal in summer. Our owners do make efforts to remove heavy sargassum and will have the beach raked prior to your arrival.

Should sargassum be extremely heavy behind your property, we will reach out to the owner for alternative solutions which may include a partial refund or relocation. We try our best to work around mother nature.

    Loved this property! The amazing view of the ocean, the huge pool and beautiful big windows were great. The layout was perfect for myself and my husband, my mom and our 2 kids (shared the twin bedroom upstairs). The location on the Northern end of the island was quiet and peaceful and close to many of the excursions we did (parrot sanctuary, botanical garden, Starfish point). It wasnt too far to drive to anywhere else on the island either, maybe 45 mins max. The house and pool were very clean. Check in and check out process was easy. We have no complaints about this property and would love to stay again in the future! It was too windy/choppy for us to snorkel out back with smaller kids, but older kids or adults easily could. Our kids had fun seeing the hermit crabs come over every morning on the sandy area by the palm trees.

    We had an amazing stay at Babylon Reef! Our group had three adults and three children. Age ranges were from 5-75. The house was beyond comfortable and so easy to be in. The fenced in yard made it easy for the kids to run around and explore. There are no houses on either side of this property so there is so much privacy. We cracked open several coconuts and drank fresh coconut water from them. This was a highlight for the kids. The kids were in and out of the pool throughout the day and there was always a shady spot around the pool if you needed a break from the sun. The beach was very natural with sea grass large chunks of coral huge conch shells and lots of fun. As described this side of the island does have trouble with trash washing up. Our beach was clean but walking to the right or left and there was sadly more visible trash. We were not able to successfully kayak or snorkel here as it was very very windy the week that we stayed. We rented a car and had no trouble making fun day trips to seven mile beach, the parrot sanctuary, botanical garden, rum point, bioluminescent bay, crystal cave and out to eat at Tukka. We shopped and cooked in most nights and the kitchen was equipped with everything you need for cooking. We were able to watch the sunset if we walked down the beach to the left. Everyone found this vacation to hit the spot! No one was ready to leave after 7 days!

    From the view as soon as you walk in, to the beds once you go to bed at night…it all excellent. The pool was clean, beautiful, and has an amazing view. The house was clean, beds were comfortable, plenty of starter supplies at the home (toilet paper, paper towels), we will definitely be back!!!

    It was a perfect house for 4 adults and 2 children. The location is wonderful if you want to be in a quieter area of the island. There are wonderful beaches nearby, and a variety of excellent local restaurants. And, it’s not a long drive to explore the other areas of the island. The pool was great, and there was a wonderful breeze the entire week we were there. It was too windy to swim or kayak in front of the house, so I would suggest not renting a kayak. And as it turned out, there were already kayaks there to use with life vests! It was easy to cook meals in the kitchen. The bedrooms were all comfortable. It is a wonderful home to rent!

    We loved staying on the quiet North Side. The house was exactly as described and had everything we needed for a perfect vacation. We especially loved that we could snorkel right off the property's beach. Lifejackets were provided by the house which was a great amenity. We also loved the spacious backyard and relaxing in the pool. Highly recommend!

    We had an amazing stay at Babylon Reef. The home was very comfortable and offered an amazing view of the ocean. This is our 3rd trip to the island. We enjoyed this area very much. It is secluded, yet close enough to access all parts of the island.Cayman never disappoints.

    This house is truly a gem! If you want a truly quiet, spa like, restful place to stay on the island, this is it. From the very moment you step in you will be swept away with the view from large picture windows of your back yard to the pool and gorgeous aqua blue ocean. Your mouth will drop! It’s almost too good to be true! I don’t think the pictures online quite do this place justice. My family of 5 and I had the most magical time here with the house and bedrooms well appointed and comfortable. Lots of books to choose from- even children’s books, fun games and puzzles, closet filled with ocean gear, beach chairs, life preservers, two bikes, and some snorkel gear. Kitchen has most everything you need to make great meals, even a Ninja blender. Large dining table, and good sized couch to spread out on. The owner was super accommodating to our requests since we were staying on island longer and needed a later checkout- very quick to respond and communicate. Lovely person. Pool and pool deck feel like you’ve stepped into a boutique hotel spa-like space. Fantastic outdoor chaise loungers, some under shade of palms, grill and outdoor table and chairs made our stay super exciting and comfortable. Kids loved the beach- so many shells and treasures wash up on beach. We had the beach entirely to ourselves during our 9 night stay. Strong WiFi - reaches almost to beach. Gated and fenced yard to add to privacy and sense of security. Will come back!
