Moon Glow DREAMY 2BR OCEANFRONT VILLA WITH PRIVATE BEACH, Kayak, Snorkeling

The home was beautiful and very well stocked. Panoramic views are amazing. It was within walking distance to Rum Point and a nice pier for entering the water. We swam everyday and the snorkeling was great. We snorkeled in front of the home and we also swam out to the reef on multiple occasions. We became scuba certified on the trip too! The host was very communicative and the property manager, Roy, was very nice. Check in and check out were both a breeze. It is quite a drive to the other side of the island but we did it many days for the scuba training. Our only complaints would be that the beach was dirty. Lots of garbage on the shore and pieces of glass (we picked them up). There are also a ton of mosquitoes. Vicious mosquitoes day and night. It made it very difficult to sit outside. We managed most days for breakfast but overall it was not enjoyable to sit outside on the beautiful patio due to the mosquitoes. We tried multiple repellants but nothing seemed to work. Good thing the home has such beautiful views from inside!

Pros: The house had everything we needed. Including beach chairs, beach towels & noodle floats. A beautiful ocean view. Quiet clean neighborhood close to Rum Point. Cons: Fire alarm went off the first day. We messaged host but there was a slow response. The second bedroom/bath door was locked. We are unsure why when we rented a 2 bed/bath. Luckily it was just my spouse & myself.

Best beach vacation ever! Moon Glow exceeded our expectations. Communication with owner, agent, and property manager was excellent from beginning to end. The home itself was lovely and we really liked the bathroom remodels. Astounding 180 degree view of the beach and ocean from the living room, with near-similar landscape views from both bedrooms.This was our first visit to Grand Cayman and we quickly realized that Rum Point was the perfect choice: quiet, peaceful area away from all the commotion and hubbub of SMB area. Several restaurants and water excursions nearby, but our favorite restaurant (Tukka’s, be sure to ask for Tito!) was an easy 20 minute drive to East Bay.We were conditioned beforehand to think we might have to pay for a guided tour for a quality nature experience. However, the very first afternoon of snorkeling from the beach at Moon Glow, we saw the first of many sting rays. In the days that followed, we saw cuttlefish, sea turtles, a moray eel, and a nurse shark! Our group took a picnic lunch to nearby Starfish Point. And the bioluminescent bay is literally across the road from Moon Glow. At the suggestion from a friend (Thanks, Karen!) we did pay for the Cayman Kayaks BioBay tour with Captain Tom. It was definitely worth it to learn all about this unique natural-occurring event, plus we avoided any unpleasant encounters with this particular bay’s abundant jellyfish. We unreservedly recommend Moon Glow!
