Great Bluff Estates
Welcome to Great Bluff Estates, a gated oceanfront villa set into the bluffs of Grand Cayman’s Northside.
This recently renovated 5-6 bedroom home offers a large family all they could want from excellent snorkeling steps off the backyard to a stunning elevated sundeck and private freshwater pool and hot tub.
The curb appeal of Great Bluff Estates includes a cobalt-blue tiled roof, bright white stucco exterior, and a terra cotta circular driveway that can easily accommodate multiple rental vehicles.
The home offers multiple oceanfront decks and balconies, two tiers of terraced artificial grass near the shoreline, two furnished cabanas, and a new concrete path to the ocean. The beach is naturally pebbly, so the owner tries to maintain a raked sandy area for water access.
Guests can relax in privacy as the owner owns the undeveloped lot next door to the east. The snorkeling here is amazingly diverse due to there being very few homes in the area. We tend to see spotted eagle rays, octopus, lobster, eels, and many schools of fish inhabiting the coral heads. There is also rarely any current in the waters here.

Amenities
Beach Notes
The beach behind Great Bluff Estates is both pebbly and sandy. It is by no means a barefoot beach as the beach here is reef protected which creates a marine environment of corals and grasses for all of our marine life to live in! Please wear pool shoes or swim fins when in the water and be mindful not to damage the corals.
The snorkeling here is superb, as there are never many snorkelers in the water to spook the rays, tarpon, grouper, juvenile schools, etc. We often see eagle rays swimming by from the pool deck...as well as lines of squid out near the reef.
If you want a barefoot beach for swimming, we have two large resorts in the east end only 10 minutes from us that are both open to the public, have restaurants, bars, watersports, etc.
General Grand Cayman Beach Notes
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 the images on our website due to shifting tides and weather patterns. 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 over the years during the summer. Our owners do 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.
We try our best to work around mother nature.
