South Sound House | Tatenda: Spacious, Beachfront Villa with Private Pool, & Balcony Suites

6 Bedroom House in South Sound, George Town

Tatenda - meaning 'Thank you' in a South African dialect - is luxury beachfront home on Grand Cayman's prestigious South Sound and offers a remarkable and relaxing vacation, corporate or wellness retreat.
Centrally, yet quietly located Tatenda is perfectly placed on the reef protected beach, minutes from George Town, Owen Roberts International Airport (GCM) and only a few miles from the world famous Seven Mile Beach with all the shops, bars, restaurants and resorts – which some find to be a little too crowded.
This stunning property is perfect for multigenerational families or up to 6 couples – ask us about the family and access friendly bedrooms.
Gathering and entertaining areas are located through-out the villa and are furnished to the highest of standards and still comfortable.
Stroll along the shoreline, try some beachcombing and depending on the tide snorkel or paddleboard in the calm, warm Caribbean blue waters.
Villa highlights:
Gourmet kitchen fully fitted with additional double ovens, warming draws, 5 burner cooktop ideal for family friendly dining to Private Chef experiences.
Family and breakfast room open onto the shaded outdoor dining with 6 burner barbecue, hotplate and fridge.

Prices are based on 12 person occupancy with $100/per person/per night for each occupant over 12. The 6-bedroom listing can potentially sleep up to 16.
*Please note:
Tatenda, like many villas along the south and east coast, has a shallow beach entry via swim paths amongst some silty seagrass patches for the first 50-75' from shore. South Sound can also experience the same seasonal sargassum that affects most of the Caribbean. Sargassum is a generally harmless floating seagrass that is more unsightly than anything.
Fortunately, the Seven Mile Beach area (SMB) of Grand Cayman does not ordinarily see sargassum accumulation. All beaches in Cayman are public up to the high-water mark so guests can visit the beautiful beach areas along SMB for sandy, walk-in swimming if the beach entry is not to your liking – ask us for daily recommendations.
Grand Cayman is a friendly and generally safe island so you'll want to visit many different beaches during your stay. Smith Cove, Spotts Beach, Governor's Beach, Tiki Beach, Public Beach, etc. are excellent beaches to visit and offer the beautiful swim in water.

Summary: We had a great stay. The house was gorgeous, clean and very well stocked. The view from the property is spectacular. I was impressed, it was even better than the pictures online. I appreciated how well stocked the kitchen was for cooking. We cooked/ grilled many times during the stay. The grill and all the appliances were clean and working properly. The bedrooms are very spacious and most have en suite bathrooms, perfect for traveling with teenagers ( which we were ) The showers had plenty of hot water. The pool was very nice too! It was clean and the host had a box of toys and floating for guests. The location was convenient for finding a grocery store and local restaurants. I would absolutely stay again.

Summary: The property is as beautiful in person as it was in the pictures. That is rare! The amenities were fantastic with sunrise views each morning starting off our day. The home is a short trip to the best restaurants, beaches, shopping and groceries. Will stay here again!

Summary: Our group of 15 easily fit on this enormous and beautiful home located near all the hot spots: Smiths Cove, 7 mile Beach, and all the beach restaurants. As we got to know the island we didn’t realize that this location in George Town was so close to all of the restaurants where we made reservations. Many of the other houses we looked out and passed on our drives at some point were much further away than we realized. The home is a first class, amazing home. Every detail is made to make your stay easy. A fully stocked kitchen made cooking a breeze. There is plenty of space to spread out - it never felt crowded. We spent most of our time in the pool as the beach is not swim-able or wade-able. We knew this prior to booking as Kathy was extremely attentive to all of our questions and needs prior to arrival. She was transparent about beach access and made it clear that her highest priority was that those who book have a clear understanding so that they will be happy if they choose Tatenda. Since Tatenda is so close to the beach it wasn’t a problem to pack up some snorkeling equipment plus beach chairs provided (available for guest use) for a short drive to the beach. One day we ate at Tillies for breakfast and then afterwards walked out to the beach and stayed for the day. I highly recommend Tatenda!

Summary: This house was absolutely awesome for our group of 8 women. The kitchen is stocked with anything you need to make meals. A couple of us took paddle boards out many mornings to see the sunrise out by where the waves break. Yes some seaweed at the very first 50 feet but then crystal clear water out to the breaker wall. It was so fun and crystal clear water to swim in or just sit on your paddle board and take it all in. I would rent this house in a heartbeat.

Summary: All 13 of us enjoyed this beautiful ocean front home. unfortunately the seaweed is just so abundant it makes swimming impossible and paddle boarding a bit difficult. but overall this house is amazing….an A-

Summary: We loved the house for our week long stay in GC. The layout and amenities were first class and the snorkeling was amazing. There’s a shipwreck accessible by a 5 minute walk down the beach with a lots of sea life. Everything was great and we highly recommend this home.
