***Property Overview***
Welcome to Kai Zen! This beautiful waterfront home welcomes you to a luxurious private enclave on the Caribbean Sea.
Mature palms, ferns, and ornamental shrubbery evoke a tropical feel before you step through the front door. Upon entering the villa, your eyes are drawn through the living room's 40-foot retractable windows and out onto the white sand beach and shimmering calm blue water.
This stunning contemporary villa with an equally stunning secluded beach is located in the private resort neighborhood of Cayman Kai. The owners prefer a minimal "zen" decor with clean lines, crisp white furniture, and open space. This is a non-smoking villa, including the upstairs covered verandah and outdoor areas.
This two-story luxury villa is a great family or multiple-couple villa offering amazing sunsets and barefoot swimming from a palm-shaded beach.
Kai Zen is only a 5-minute walk from the Kaibo Yacht Club to the south and a 10-minute walk to the Rum Point Club to the north. Chances are you will not see a soul on your beach the entire stay!

***Villa Cleaning & Sanitation***
All villas are cleaned and sanitized prior to each guest's arrival. We also ask our owners to provide a starter supply of extra cleaning products. 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 Queen 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.
