Grand Cayman, North Side
***Property Overview***
Welcome to Hilltime, a spacious single-story beachfront villa located in beautiful Rum Point. Featuring multiple bedroom terraces, a private pool, and backyard snorkeling, Hilltime is a fabulous destination along the island's North Side.
Hilltime's family room has been reconfigured by separating the dining and living areas to free up space for everyone in your group to spread out. The living area has been reshuffled with sofa seating and a wall-mounted television opposite the kitchen area. A new dining table sits against the windows providing beachfront views with every meal. Vaulted ceilings and tall windows allow natural light and sweeping views to fill the home.
The new layout makes the best use of the space while accentuating the stunning ocean views throughout.
In addition to the family room, a double bunk room has been added to sleep 4 children or 2 adults. The bunk room comes furnished with a SmartTV and plush round poufs for comfy seating. The bunk room shares an adjacent hall bathroom with the East Bedroom.
Other upgrades include a Sonos Home Sound System. Set the vibe and let your favorite songs fill the home. A portable Sonos Move is located in the kitchen. Just grab it off its base and take your tunes to the beach or pool deck!
The villa's 5 bedrooms are divided by the family room with 2 on the west wing and 3 on the east wing.

The home's freshwater pool sits on the land-side of the villa protecting guests from trade winds in the winter and absorbing most of the sun's rays. Sail shades and all-new sun loungers circle the pool deck.
The pool deck also includes a cabana for shady relief from the island sun. For the grill master in your group, a new Weber propane grill is provided for island cookouts.
Inside, the gourmet kitchen comes equipped with everything you need to prepare a home-cooked meal. Modern appliances including dishware, utensils, glassware, and cookware are all provided. Hire a private chef for a night of in-villa dining or start your morning with a champagne brunch!
The beach behind the villa is wide and sandy with superb snorkeling inside the reef-protected shallows. Children, and the young at heart, will love the custom wood swing set installed along the beach. The property sits on a deep estate of over an acre with heavily-landscaped grounds.
Plenty of off-street parking is available with room to turn around in the driveway.

***Villa Cleaning & Sanitation***

Additional housekeeping services can be purchased after booking in 3-hour time blocks. Scheduling may be coordinated with your property manager upon arrival.
***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 weather. The next-door beach is also always available for your use.
***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.
Beautiful property perfectly setup for family fun. Minutes away from Rum Point beach which has undergone some wonderful renovations, restaurant & outside beach bar are fantastic. Perfect spot for a day of beach fun. Low key chill vibe is perfect for families looking to escape the chaos of 7 Mile Beach. Highly recommend
Stunning house on the beach. Accommodated 3 families with aplomb. Very usable kitchen, clean, lots of space. Would absolutely stay again.
This place was PERFECT!!!! Will definitely be back!!!!!!!!
We stayed for a week in July 2023. The house was great for an extended family vacation. The main living area was the perfect size and the bedrooms were a good size. We enjoyed having the pool and being right on the beach. Best of both worlds.
The property was gorgeous.
We absolutely loved our ten day stay at this location! If you’re looking for a place for a family get-away that feels like your on a private tropical island this is it! Our daily beach-front view was gorgeous from several windows facing the blue-green ocean. The furnishings were perfect with 4 of 5 bedrooms having king beds. The fifth bedroom had 2 bunkbeds. We snorkeled and kayaked in the waters out back that feature a reef. There was some seaweed but it was manageable. The pool is not on the ocean side and though it is not large it accommodated our family just fine! Larger grocery stores are about 40 minutes away but there is a smaller store close by for essentials. We did the touristy activities but this property was a private respite away from the crowds. Be sure to book a private charter thru Siverthatch - so much fun!We had a few issues but the manager responded each time …even replacing the outdoor grill with a brand new grill! We highly recommend this house/property and we plan to return!
We had a wonderful time…being on the ocean was great..Silver Thatch handled our kayak rentals and supplied snorkeling gear. Pool was wonderful!!! Had a problem with fuse in one bedroom, but Penny walked us through. We had pictures on the beach through with Alice, partner with Deep Blue Imaging…she was so professional and fun to be around…the house had perfect spots for great pictures. Was little farther from our activities but we did not mind the drive. Great restaurants, all recommended by Silver Thatch!
We had a wonderful week at Hilltime. The house had everything we needed and more. There was plenty of room for the 7 of us. The beach was amazing. We snorkeled, kayaked and paddle boarded everyday right off the back of the property. We saw tons of fish, sting rays, star fish, and turtles! The pool was also perfect for when we needed a break from the beach. We absolutely loved our time here and highly recommend it. The only thing to be aware of is you are on a quieter part of the island so it is a drive to grocery stores or restaurants.
Our visit to Cayman Islands was even better staying at Hilltime. This home located near Rum Point was the perfect location. The private beach backyard, snorkeling, kayaking, swings and the most amazing views. Plenty of bedrooms/beds and bathrooms. Beds were super comfortable. Everything you need has been provided, just bring your swimming suit ❤️ Our host Penni was wonderful and responded quickly when we needed anything. The beach location with the views, coral walls and swings was the perfect spot for our professional family photos we had done. Our photographer thought the the area was so beautiful. Thank you Hilltime.
Very easy to do
We had four couples and the house was ideal. Close to Rum Point and good restaurants, Penni was very helpful and responsive. House is well appointed,views are amazing and the beach in back was larger than most of the other houses. We highly recommend.
What a perfect place for a family vacation! Awesome layout, smooth process and I go on and on and on. We loved snorkeling, sea kayaking, the pool, cooking in the kitchen and enjoying the island. We will return for sure!
Wonderful. Upon arrival all my guests said Wow!! Very clean. Kitchen super well equipped. Beach and pool were fantastic. Plenty of towels and toiletries.
Our trip was booked originally for 2021 but due to Covid restrictions we had to postpone a year. The rebooking process was simple and stress-free! We arrived at the house and let ourselves in using the lockbox key. The home was clean and tidy. We explored for a bit and then the property manager met us there, giving us all kinds of information about the house, grocery stores, restaurants and things to do. This house has everything! Ample seating both inside and all around the outside of the home. Every kitchen gadget you could possibly need! High end furniture and bedding. The decor was exactly what you would want from a beach home! We were a little disappointed that not all of the doors to the beach side of the home would open… mainly the one bedroom. So we weren’t able to gain outside access from the bedroom. The safe also didn’t work but we felt safe leaving our belongings with the house alarm set. We never felt anything but comfortable with the area and the people. The property has a very large beach area compared to surrounding properties. Again, ample seating with chaise lounges. The one disappointment we had was the amount of garbage on the beach. Plastic bottles, dozens of shoes, plastic bags, containers and pill bottles washed on shore daily. It made us a little nervous to have the children walk around without water shoes. There was also a lot of sargassum (seaweed) but I’m sure that varies depending on the time of the year. These things are no fault of the property owner, of course, but definitely affected our use of the beach. The pool was clean and refreshing. The set up was perfect with bathroom access from the pool area. Property manager Penni and the staff at the Silver Thatch were very helpful throughout our stay. The location of the home was great. It felt secluded but there were plenty of things to see and do within a short drive. The drive back toward George Town and the West End is also doable to see more touristy things! Overall I would recommend this house if you are looking for a place that has it all! Thank you for sharing Hilltime with us. We certainly fell in love with the island.
Everything went great. The house had everything we needed. The beach area was nice, soft sand, and the management company clears the beach of sea grass though not during the stay. The pool area is great for an afternoon cool off around 4 it is no longer in the sun. The north side of the island is quite. All positive about this house met or exceed our expectations. The view from the living room kitchen area is amazing and worth it just for that.
