Jasmine Cottage
Property Description
Guests of this accommodation can take advantage of the benefits included in the Silver Thatch Membership. Contact a Rental Escapes villa specialist for the full list of benefits. Premium amenities are available for a separate charge. Jasmine Cottage in Old Man Bay is one of two charming homes, full of Cayman character, nestled together on the oceanfront in Old Man Bay. The cottage has a private oceanfront infinity pool and a tranquil garden providing al fresco dining for six. The vistas across the oceanfront and into the garden are spectacularly framed, with large picture windows and sliding doors highlighting the surrounding landscape. Strong swimmers can fin out to the reef, which is also easily reached by kayak, where buoys mark two breathtaking walls to SCUBA dive. Just a couple of flipper strokes away is a splendid snorkeling rock, for the less adventurous. On land, tours of the spectacular Crystal Caves are just a leisurely stroll away. To the east, you will only be 10 minutes from Morritt's and the Wyndham, two large East End resorts with water sports, restaurants, bars, grocery, and shopping. The house extends into the garden, the ideal space to barbecue or simply enjoy nature. Our guests say the garden rockers are the perfect spot for your morning cup of joe or some light afternoon reading. The cottages provide a wonderful haven within a quiet rural neighbourhood with its pool size and convenient location being key attractions.

Our guests say the garden rockers are the perfect spot for your morning cup of joe or some light afternoon reading. Beach Notes Hibiscus and Jasmine Cottages are semi-detached oceanfront villas that each have their own oceanfront infinity pool and sunny deck in a sandy, palm-fringed setting. There is a privacy screen hedge between the villas' pools and decks'. The short step down to the ocean through a bank of loose centuries-old exquisite coral fossils is via a rustic hewn pathway. The beach here is rugged with delicately sculpted stones, beautiful conch shells, and gifts from mother nature as the waves lap the shore. At the water's edge is a narrow strip of protected ironshore limestone, colonized by sea urchins. Guests will want to wear pool shoes to walk, or swim fins in the water for foot protection. The water is teeming with life which is simply not present near a sterile sandy beach. You will find all types of sea creatures sheltering in and around the shallow reef close to shore. These conditions make for excellent snorkeling, which is highly recommended—equipment can be obtained at the Silver Thatch welcome centre, if you do not have your own. Please look closely at the photos to see the multi-colored shallows: white/light blue is sandy bottom, browns indicate corals, and darker colours indicate sea grasses or soft corals. Old Man Bay is home to some of the best snorkeling on the entire island. Just about 300 yards east of Garden Cottages is Connally's Cove where local divemasters often come to snorkel. As there are few homes in the area, the marine life here is less skittish and many coral heads provide sanctuary for juvenile fish. Our guests often just put a pool noodle under their arms and float for hours in this area observing the fish in only 3-6 feet of water with little, if any, current. Further out from shore are two famous dive sites on the reef wall, marked by buoys for the more adventurous. General Grand Cayman Beach Notes All beaches in Grand Cayman are technically “public” since the Queen owns up to the high watermark and the shoreline quality behind your property may vary seasonally. Be advised that the beach or water entry behind your property may vary slightly from the images on our website because of the weather. The next-door beach is also always available for your use. Ocean Debris and Sargassum Seaweed Beaches in Grand Cayman may also experience floating ocean debris and sargassum weed seasonally. 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. The owners do make efforts to remove heavy sargassum and will have the beach raked before your arrival. We try our best to work around mother nature.
