Q    Is your Grand Cayman vacation rental on a cove or a lagoon?

 

A    Some brochures and text articles have incorrectly described the body of water on which our Cayman home and a large portion of the vacation homes in the Cayman Kai area of Grand Cayman are located, as a lagoon. It is not a lagoon but in fact a cove or bay.

 

The cove on which our Grand Cayman Islands vacation villa is situated is not separated from the ocean because there is a narrow entrance directly to the ocean (large enough for smaller boats up to about 35 -40 feet in length); therefore, this can not be defined as a lagoon and should not be confused as a lagoon. This cove is a part of the ocean and lends to great protection from hurricanes for the homes within it.

Wikipedia defines a cove as:    

A cove usually refers to a coastal landform. Earth scientists generally use the term to describe a circular or round inlet with a narrow entrance, though colloquially the term is sometimes used to describe any sheltered bay.

Everythingbio.com defines a bay as:

a part of a sea or lake indenting the shore line; the word is often applied to very large tracts of water around which the land forms a curve

Wikipedia defines a lagoon as

A lagoon is a body of comparatively shallow salt or brackish water separated from the deeper sea by a shallow or exposed sandbank, coral reef, or similar feature. Thus, the enclosed body of water behind a barrier reef or barrier islands or enclosed by an atoll reef is called a lagoon

 

Q     Where are the fins for the snorkels?

A     We do not have fins because it would be virtually impossible for us to keep fins that would be suitable to all sizes.

Q     We found some snorkels and masks, where are the rest?

A     Some is all that may be there at the time of your visit as these are left in the care and consideration of our guests and we have found that some guests can actually be very uncaring of “free” things. We do try to replace or repair these so that every group will have some use of them; however, we are unable to guarantee the condition of these.

       Guest who wish to have complete sets of snorkel gear (snorkels & masks are rented separately from fins) should rent these from www.emptysuitcases.com

Q    The bicycle tires need air.

A     We try to make sure tires are inflated prior to each arrival however, guests are responsible for them during their stay. Please use our bicycle pump provided to inflate the tires. This is another amenity with that “no charge” fee attached and are left in the care and consideration of our guests.

Q     Where is the second tank of propane?

A     Second tank? Currently, we provide 1 tank per stay, should you run out, you will have to get your own refill (because they are not paying for it, many guests leave the tanks on after use and air escapes)

      *** We have plans for a built in charcoal grill as salt corrosion has lead to the replacement of 3 stainless Propane grills in the past 4 years (the salt corrodes the burner elements in the grills rendering them useless with propane) therefore, you may find a charcoal grill for which charcoal purchase will be necessary.
