Present Moment
**Recent 2024 Renovation Completed**
Welcome to Present Moment, a recently renovated (2024) villa on the outskirts of the Bodden Town beach that is the ideal retreat to create picture-perfect vacation memories with family and friends. New renovations include an all-new kitchen, improved bathrooms, paint, and a new upgraded king-size bed in the island suite.
This beautiful, spacious villa is directly on the beach with sweeping ocean views. The beach is both sandy and pebbly, so water entry requires water socks or pool shoes. Swimmers and snorkelers will find a sandy bottom less than 100-yards from shore. The snorkeling in this area is spectacular!
After exploring the tropical sea life, rinse off using the outdoor shower before a refreshing dip into the fabulous infinity pool. A Baja shelf with submerged pool loungers will quickly become your favorite spot.
The villa’s pool deck also includes a heated spa to melt your worries away and a raised oceanfront sun deck for that perfect tan. A tandem kayak is provided complimentary during your stay.
Open and spacious living areas are furnished with contemporary furniture and modern decor. A wall of oceanfront windows provides gorgeous tropical views, allowing natural light to flood the home.
After a long day enjoying the island, sink into the comfy sectional sofa to watch a movie, read a novel, or play some family-fun board games.
This single-story private residence can sleep up to 12 guests comfortably across four-bedroom suites, each with a private bath.

The kitchen comes fully equipped with modern appliances and everything you need to whip up a quick lunch or home-cooked meal. The villa’s outdoor cooking center is a grill master’s paradise with a propane grill, warming drawers, pizza oven, prep area, sink, and ice maker. Hire a gourmet chef or family-style cook for a night of worry-free dining.
This villa also provides a pack-n-play and high chair for our tiniest guests.

Amenities
Beach Notes
Centrally located, the homes in Bodden Town offer shore diving and snorkeling as well as protected beaches for kayaking. The beaches are mostly sand, but can also have some natural rock formations too.
Either way, with the varied marine life we have in the water, you will want to wear foot protection (pool shoes or fins). The beaches here offer great seashell collecting and turtle sightings in summer!
Bodden Town is only 20 minutes from town and 15 minutes from 2 large resorts in the east end, Morritt's and The Reef. Both offer manicured beaches as well as restaurants, a grocery store, liquor store, souvenir shops, and a cafe/pastry shop. These two resorts also offer scuba, snorkel trips, jet skis, windsurfing, kiteboarding, ocean-front pools, and bar service.
Heading east, the South Coast restaurant is only 5 minutes away. Other casual restaurants are nearby. You are 25 minutes from the famous Rum Point Club & Kaibo with water sports, restaurants, beach bars, a gift shop, and a barefoot beach with table service.
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.
