Nautilus Cottage is Nestled Among Mature Seagrape Trees

Located directly on Seven Mile Beach along Boggy Sand Road in West Bay, our exquisite beachfront cottage invites you to immerse yourself in the charm of Caymanian heritage. Situated on the National Trust's Historical Walking Tour of old Caymanian homes, this idyllic retreat is nestled among mature seagrape trees at the tranquil northern end of Seven Mile Beach, offering a serene escape from the bustling resort areas. Please remember your water socks, as sometimes the beach can get a little rocky!

Just offshore lie some of the most renowned dive sites on the western end of Grand Cayman, while shallower reefs beckon snorkelers, with the popular Cemetery Reef just a few hundred yards south. For those seeking land-based pleasures, the beach and expansive outdoor deck, shaded by seagrape trees, provide the perfect backdrop for relaxation with a good book and a refreshing beverage. Unwind in the comfort of this cozy seaside bungalow, where rest and relaxation are assured.

The cottage features two bedrooms, each offering stunning views of the private deck, beach, and sea, along with its own private bathroom. The fully equipped kitchen boasts all the comforts of home, allowing you to savor homemade meals or keep your favorite beverages chilled for post-dining relaxation. Step onto the private and spacious outdoor deck to bask in the sun, immerse yourself in a captivating book, or simply marvel at the mesmerizing views of Seven Mile Beach.

Within a short 5-minute walk, a convenience store offers essential supplies, while nearby local restaurants await to tantalize your taste buds. A brief drive brings you to a large grocery store, a liquor store, and a plethora of dining options, including Macabuca, The Cracked Conch, Villas Pappagallo, Calypso Grill and Tukka West. Nearby attractions such as the Cayman Turtle Center, Dolphin Cove, scuba diving excursions, and Stingray City tours promise endless entertainment.

Nautilus Cottage and Condos provide an idyllic sanctuary to unwind, relax, and create unforgettable memories during your stay here in Grand Cayman.

Excellent location and clean, comfortable cottage. The cottage is compact, but the beds were comfortable and the kitchen well supplied. The highlight is definitely the patio and deck. Wonderful ocean view and easy access to the beach/water. Air conditioning/multiple fans in the cottage was great as well, to cool down during the days. And listening to the ocean waves at night was a pleasure. Just remember to bring bug spray, as they were a small issue after dark. All in all a wonderful stay at the cottage.

Great views perfect location
The view was fantastic. We love to snorkel and the best shore snorkeling was right outside our location. You need to swim out quite a ways toward the white bouys and there is a reef with tons of fish. It was like swimming in an aquarium. The house is small but we were outside all the time except to sleep. The doors to the bedrooms and bathroom are glass. We put up paper on the bathroom door since you can see into it. Other thsn that the house was perfect. Would recommend it.

We absolutely loved our stay at Nautilus Cottage. Perfect for our small family of 3. Location was wonderful, quiet little street, and the backyard is the sea! Not far from amenities. We would absolutely stay here again!

Paradise
My husband and I had a wonderful stay at the Nautilus Cottage. The property was clean and exactly as described. We enjoyed many evenings on the deck overlooking the ocean. The beach is just a few steps away where you could snorkel. The neighborhood seemed very safe with a nice grocery store two minutes away. Lots of great restaurants nearby. If you want more action then you might want to stay further down on 7 mile beach, but if you're wanting some rest and relaxation then look no further. Thanks to Beth and Shirley for the amazing stay! We will definitely be back to Grand Cayman.

Almost perfect
Our group had a wonderful time at this home. It is at the end of 7 mile beach, so away from crowds. The outdoor furniture and hammock was put to great use. And the snorkeling out in front of the beach was the best on the island. The properties on either side of the home actually connect to this rentals decks. Luckily the groups on either side were nice. The house inside does seem somewhat dated. One negative was that all the interior doors are glass (even the bathroom) which makes it slightly uncomfortable when going with another couple. Also, the beds are listed as king and full but are only queen and full. Other than that we loved the property and the ease of snorkeling.

Gorgeous View
We were a group of 3, and loved every minute at this cottage. It was clean, cozy and had an amazing view with snorkeling available just outside the door. There isn’t a working TV in the home so if you need that then elsewhere might be better but we were content with hanging outside on the deck or going on activities in the area.

Perfect place right on the ocean
Perfect location with great restaurants and grocery near by, yet away from the higher traffic areas. Very clean and comfortable. The beds were comfortable. You can’t do better than the deck overlooking the ocean with easy access to kayak and swim. It was very relaxing and peaceful. The small “shed” looking structure of the same color right next to the house is actually a separate studio Vrbo rental which surprised us and made for a very close neighbor with a connected deck. Luckily we had a great renter next door. The house was well stocked but short on seasonings other than salt/ pepper, and short on Tupperware. There was no kayak as seen in the picture but we were able to rent one. We very much enjoyed the house and would go back.

Ultimate beach bungalow
The pictures are very accurate. This is a special property right on the beach. The tide pulls sand in and out so highly recommend water shoes behind the house. It is gorgeous swimming and snorkeling right behind the house. There is a very sandy beach 5 minute walk away. It should be noted there is a one room guest cottage that looks like it is part of this rental and shares the deck to a degree. Others were there for part of our stay. Beth the long time owner of the properties is across the street and was always asking if everything was good. Very well taken care of property and an amazing location.

Located in West Bay, it has the perfect location. Beach life less than 50’ away, local fresh food within walking distance. A grocery store to stock up, plenty of places for adult beverages to stock up as well. The host is first class and a true honor to stay here! A must see to believe! We will be back!

Perfect spot to find your Zen!
This was a wonderful place to stay. You can’t find a better location. We didn’t want to be in the middle of the hustle and bustle of 7 mile beach but still wanted to be able to enjoy what it had to offer. This little cottage fit the bill perfectly. I came to find my zen and that I did. I was able to relax on the beach and the amazing back patio and just enjoy the sounds of the waves. We will definitely be back again when we visit the Cayman Islands!
