About this property

SKY Luxurious Tranquility on a Private Beach In A Protected Marine Environment

Crescent Beach has received to 2017/18 Certificates of Excellence and has never received a rating of less than 5 stars from our guests. Sky is a home away from home - a 2100 sq.ft. upper floor apartment built in 2015 with 3 bed/bath with bedrooms 2 and 3 being convertible to either KING or 2 x TWIN beds, open living, dining and kitchen area with superb sea views. Perfect for families who like quiet, remote living but with many amenities within 30 minutes driving. A second apartment, Sand, is on the ground floor and offers similar amenities. The interior is modern, tastefully decorated and well equipped for cooking and entertainment. Kitchen appliances include gas stove, microwave, double door fridge/freezer, dish washer, combo washing machine/dryer. All lighting within both Sand and Sky is LED and high efficiency central air units are easily controlled from a simple thermostat. Doors are equipped with "open" detectors which will switch off the air conditioning if a patio door is left open. Our goal has been to try to conserve energy and use it efficiently for the comfort of our guests. Master bedroom features king bed, second and third bedroom features Twin beds which can be converted to King. cots are available on request.

There is a pool, courtyard with barbeque and eating facility. The Games room is equipped with pool table; table tennis and dart board.

The home theatre is comfortably equipped with bean bags and chairs. There is a large selection of DVDs.

Situated in a protected zone, the coral beach is a turtle nesting site and opens onto a 200 x100 yard bay with living coral and a low-lying reef about 100 yards out. Typically, more than 500 baby turtles leave the beach for the Caribbean Sea every year. Many of our guests have witnessed hand release by us of turtles which were left behind in the nest. The coral beach has both sandy and rocky features which vary as wind and wave direction shift. Off the beach is the best snorkeling to be found close to the shore in Grand Cayman.

A variety of top local restaurants are within 10 minutes driving and one of Cayman's best diver operations is just 8 minutes away.

Sky is very elevated with the front patio and the ocean-facing balcony being 15 feet high. Tempered safety glass balusters form the railings to ensure a superb view even from inside the apartment.

For larger families or for special events such as weddings or family reunions, Sand and Sky together provide six bedrooms in total for a maximum party of 12 persons. And with just under one acre of sandy grounds and tropical gardens, it is a perfect site for the wedding itself.

Perfect!!! Amazing Get-A-Way!
Absolutely wonderful week at Crescent Beach! It was truly a dream vacation for my family and friends! Paul and Faye Anne go above and beyond to make your stay perfect, comfortable and they offer a personalized approach. They are wonderful with any questions or requests you may have, and immediately responsive. We could not have asked for a more wonderful place to spend time together; the snorkeling, pool, theatre room, and porches made for perfect day napping - all made our stay a place we will definitely return to again! The home is well-appointed and fully stocked with everything you need. Kitchen is well-equipped, and proximity to locations of interest are excellent. You have stores nearby, but you also have tranquility of nature that surrounds you to unwind and enjoy! Perfect get-a-way, we are already looking forward to our next visit!

Fantastic stay!
Absolutely loved the location and amenities. The home was so comfortable for my family of 5 (3 adult kids) and it was great to be able to swim, snorkel and hike along the beach literally out the back door. We loved hanging out on the gorgeous porch enjoying endless views of the ocean. Seven mile beach was a 45-60 min drive but we liked being away from all the commotion in a more relaxed area. Great restaurants were close by on the east end of the island. Paul and Fay Ann were lovely hosts- will definitely be back!

Great stay on the water!
Beautiful homes and setting right on the water in Half Moon Bay. Really well built home, and equipped with eveythibg you need to cook inside or at the outdoor kitchen! The snorkeling right in front of the home was great, day and night. We enjoyed our whole trip, and the home really made for a great location to make family memories. We would recommend both homes to anyone looking for a less touristy option for their stay. It’s about 30 mins to “town”, which we enjoyed to be away from the crowds more. There are a couple of small convenience stores within ten minutes of the home for small things you need, and a larger supermarket about 25 mins away. Keep in mind most grocery stores are closed on Sundays, that was a surprise to us. Would definitely return!

Quiet Paradise
Well equipped beach front rental perfect for families. Plenty of activities for all ages. Home is beautiful, pool, ping pong/pool and the theater are highlights. We participated in a baby turtle release with Paul (host) that was once in a lifetime experience. Highly recommend staying here if you want to be away from the busy area of Seven Mile Beach.

Destination - Perfect
Beautiful, upscale, ocean view, with fabulous hosts Paul and Fay Anne. All the creature comforts one could desire. Once you get your groceries, put on your reef safe sunscreen, and head to the beach and house reef, you are set to relax and enjoy. Paul and Fay Anne shared their knowledge and love of the island and the experience of two releases of newly hatched turtles. Fabulous vacation for us and our adult children.

About the host

Hosted by Paul de Freitas

Host profile image
Paul and Fay Anne de Freitas are both world travellers who settled in the Cayman Islands in 1983. Brought up in Guyana, England and Ireland, and having lived in the USA, Antigua and Grenada, we bring a knowledge of what is needed to instinctively feel comfortable and at home in a new environment. Paul is involved in a company which produces banking software and travels fairly regularly to his office in Sweden.

Why they chose this property

Paul and Fay Anne recognised that unique beach property is hard to find. And the Half Moon Bay is very unique - a coral garden. This property was supposed to become the clubhouse of the exclusive Half Moon Bay project which, thanks to Hurricane Ivan, came to an untimely end. With grounds of an acre and deep deposits of white sand over a stable ironshore base, the site offered many possibilities for development. We decided to place a twin apartment structure on the east side of the property since this kind of layout maximises privacy for individual renters. We designed Crescent Beach from the ground up. And so Crescent Beach is an extension of our personality and even includes artwork from Fay Anne.

What makes this property unique

Crescent Beach is unique because its beach fronts a small bay, Half Moon Bay, full of living coral gardens among which you can walk - only on the sandy bits please. It is even more unique because the properties to the east and west have iron-shore frontage - a tough, craggy, limestone rock - and for this reason, the usual rule of the beach being open to walkers up to the high water mark really does not apply. To access the beach, third parties would have to cross private property.

Our beach is used as a nesting site for the Green Turtle and we make sure that we are around to help the nestlings into the water when they dig their way to the surface after their gestation period in the sand. The sight of numerous baby turtles scuttling determinedly towards the surf line is a sight that one does not forget. No guarantees, but the last nestlings took to the water in August - so if that's your month, you may get lucky and see one of Mother Nature's most wonderful sights.

So for visitors keen on quiet relaxation in a unique environment, but with fast and convenient access to restaurants, diving, and about 30 minutes away, the big city - George Town and Camana Bay, Crescent Beach affords the best of both worlds.
