Northern Lights #5 | North Side, Grand Cayman | Vacation Villa

Escape the crowds of Seven Mile Beach for this peaceful North Side oasis. Welcome to Northern Lights #5, part of a 9-unit complex of privately owned two-story townhomes nestled in Old Man Bay. Northern Lights #5 is one of the few 3-bedroom homes within the complex, measuring 2,400 sq ft and able to sleep 8 guests. Lush tropical landscaping surrounds this small sliver of paradise with 240 feet of natural beachfront, sweeping panoramic views, and a protected coral reef teeming with marine life. Some of the island's best snorkeling and dive sites can be found right outside your door. Alternatively, guests can relax above the waves on the shared private dock with cabana, or lounge poolside soaking in the sun and beautiful ocean views.

Inside, the downstairs layout is entirely open-concept with ocean views throughout. A full kitchen with modern appliances overlooks a fully furnished living area with walk-out access to a screened porch. The living area has all the comforts of home with sofa seating and an entertainment center with cable television. Relax with a movie after a day of fun and sun, or kick back on the screened porch and enjoy the beautiful Caribbean views. For indoor dining, a small dining table just off the kitchen seats four with the kitchen island seating another four guests. For meals with an ocean view, the screened porch dining table seats six guests. A propane grill is also provided for island cookouts.

The sleeping arrangements accommodate 8 guests total with 6 adults maximum. The Primary Suite on the upper level features king bed, ocean views, walk-out access to a private screened balcony, and ensuite bath with dual vanity and shower. Guest Suite on the upper level offers queen bed, garden views, and ensuite with shower bath. Bunk Room on the lower level provides two sets of bunk beds that sleep 4 children or 2 adults and shares hall bathroom equipped with shower bath. The home is equipped with central air conditioning but trade winds tend to keep the home cool throughout with multiple ceiling fans. A washer and dryer also come included on the lower level. The owner provides a complimentary tandem kayak for guest use with a signed waiver required.

With a central location on the island, the homes in Old Man Bay offer perhaps the best shore diving and snorkeling on all of Grand Cayman. The beaches are mostly sand, but can also be pebbly with natural rock formations. Either way, with the varied marine life we have in the water, you will want to wear pool shoes or fins for foot protection. The beaches here offer great seashell collecting and turtle sightings in summer. Old Man Bay is only 5 minutes from two large resorts in the east end with Morritt's and The Reef that offer manicured beaches as well as restaurants, a modern grocery store, a liquor store, gift shops, and a cafe/pastry shop. Cayman Crystal Caves is also located in Old Man Bay. Kurt's Korner and Over the Edge are two local restaurants about one mile away. Both serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner at reasonable prices. About 15 minutes to the west of Old Man Bay is the famous Rum Point Club with water sports, dining options, and a barefoot beach.

The property positions 3 miles from Grand Cayman Villas and Condos Welcome Center and 20.3 miles with 40-minute drive from Owen Roberts Airport. Nearby, Northern Lights is within minutes of a small grocery store, two beachfront resorts, and some of the best restaurants on the island. The airport and Seven Mile Beach are roughly a 40-minute drive away. All beaches in Grand Cayman are technically public since the Crown owns up to the high water mark. The shoreline quality behind your property may vary slightly from images on our website due to shifting tides and weather patterns. The next-door beach is also always available for your use. 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 over the years during the summer. Our owners make efforts to remove heavy sargassum and will have the beach raked prior to your arrival. Should sargassum weed be extremely heavy behind your property, we will reach out to the owner for alternative solutions which may include a partial refund or relocation.
