Nautilus Cottage - Charming 7 Mile Beachfront Cottage by Cayman Villas

Located directly on Seven Mile Beach along Boggy Sand Road in West Bay, our exquisite beachfront cottage invites you to immerse yourself in the charm of Caymanian heritage. Situated on the National Trust's Historical Walking Tour of old Caymanian homes, this idyllic retreat is nestled among mature seagrape trees at the tranquil northern end of Seven Mile Beach, offering a serene escape from the bustling resort areas. Please remember your water socks, as sometimes the beach can get a little rocky!

Just offshore lie some of the most renowned dive sites on the western end of Grand Cayman, while shallower reefs beckon snorkelers, with the popular Cemetery Reef just a few hundred yards south. For those seeking land-based pleasures, the beach and expansive outdoor deck, shaded by seagrape trees, provide the perfect backdrop for relaxation with a good book and a refreshing beverage. Unwind in the comfort of this cozy seaside bungalow, where rest and relaxation are assured.

The cottage features two bedrooms, each offering stunning views of the private deck, beach, and sea, along with its own private bathroom. The fully equipped kitchen boasts all the comforts of home, allowing you to savor homemade meals or keep your favorite beverages chilled for post-dining relaxation. Step onto the private and spacious outdoor deck to bask in the sun, immerse yourself in a captivating book, or simply marvel at the mesmerizing views of Seven Mile Beach.

Within a short 5-minute walk, a convenience store offers essential supplies, while nearby local restaurants await to tantalize your taste buds. A brief drive brings you to a large grocery store, a liquor store, and a plethora of dining options, including Macabuca, The Cracked Conch, Villas Pappagallo, Calypso Grill and Tukka West. Nearby attractions such as the Cayman Turtle Center, Dolphin Cove, scuba diving excursions, and Stingray City tours promise endless entertainment.

Nautilus Cottage and Condos provide an idyllic sanctuary to unwind, relax, and create unforgettable memories during your stay here in Grand Cayman.

Ultimate relaxation

Although the house and deck were terrific, we spent most of our time snorkeling the reefs right outside. Perfect little house where we stocked up at the awesome nearby grocery store and cooked all week. No crowds, no restaurants, no tourists traps. Just an awesome stay for some peaceful R&R.

Perfect little cottage

We absolutely loved our stay at Nautilus Cottage. Perfect for our small family of 3. Location was wonderful, quiet little street, and the backyard is the sea! Not far from amenities. We would absolutely stay here again!

Second time is a charm

We stayed here for a month previously and came back for three weeks which is telling. Excellent location to grocery and the north side. A fabulous restaurant is a 2 minute walk, The beach in the back is ever changing, always sand for chairs etc, walking in sometimes can be slightly rocky one ay, sandy the next. Very good snorkeling right off the property. Beach is pretty private. The house needs updating on the inside as its getting a little long in the tooth, but very Caribbean, it is not a gleaming condo. We would definitely come back.

Steps away from great snorkeling and a swim away from reef that the local charters frequent. 30 minutes beach walk to Coccobana.

Gorgeous View

We were a group of 3, and loved every minute at this cottage. It was clean, cozy and had an amazing view with snorkeling available just outside the door. There isn’t a working TV in the home so if you need that then elsewhere might be better but we were content with hanging outside on the deck or going on activities in the area.

A great week in Paradise! Our own slice of Heaven for a week!

Located in West Bay, it has the perfect location. Beach life less than 50’ away, local fresh food within walking distance. A grocery store to stock up, plenty of places for adult beverages to stock up as well. The host is first class and a true honor to stay here! A must see to believe! We will be back!

Great

Excellent location and clean, comfortable cottage. The cottage is compact, but the beds were comfortable and the kitchen well supplied. The highlight is definitely the patio and deck. Wonderful ocean view and easy access to the beach/water. Air conditioning/multiple fans in the cottage was great as well, to cool down during the days. And listening to the ocean waves at night was a pleasure. Just remember to bring bug spray, as they were a small issue after dark. All in all a wonderful stay at the cottage.

Perfect spot to find your Zen!

This was a wonderful place to stay. You can’t find a better location. We didn’t want to be in the middle of the hustle and bustle of 7 mile beach but still wanted to be able to enjoy what it had to offer. This little cottage fit the bill perfectly. I came to find my zen and that I did. I was able to relax on the beach and the amazing back patio and just enjoy the sounds of the waves. We will definitely be back again when we visit the Cayman Islands!
