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.

We love this quaint cottage nestled in some trees, but right there at the water's edge. Quiet and relaxing and away from the hustle and bustle. We will definitely come back to this property for our next trip to Grand Cayman!
Perfect stay on seven mile beach. View is stunning with snorkeling and relaxing on the beach behind the property. Very clean and relaxing with comfortable mattresses. Can’t wait to stay here again!
Stayed here last year and loved it so much I decided to stay here again. Everyone is so nice and attentive. Great location and very quiet. Looking forward to staying here again next year.
Highly recommend!
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.
We have been traveling around Caribbean Islands and were fortunate to find beautiful places, but this one is a winner. It’s truly the best location on the island! We will be back for sure!

Everything was wonderful!
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!
We had a lovely stay at Natulius cottage. It is quaint and comfortable and perfect for my family of 3. There was plenty of towels and the bedding was comfortable. We would highly recommend it
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.
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.
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.
My husband and I had a wonderful stay at the Nautilus Cottage. The property was clean and exactly as described. We enjoyed many evenings on the deck overlooking the ocean. The beach is just a few steps away where you could snorkel. The neighborhood seemed very safe with a nice grocery store two minutes away. Lots of great restaurants nearby. If you want more action then you might want to stay further down on 7 mile beach, but if you're wanting some rest and relaxation then look no further. Thanks to Beth and Shirley for the amazing stay! We will definitely be back to Grand Cayman.
The view was fantastic. We love to snorkel and the best shore snorkeling was right outside our location. You need to swim out quite a ways toward the white bouys and there is a reef with tons of fish. It was like swimming in an aquarium.
The house is small but we were outside all the time except to sleep. The doors to the bedrooms and bathroom are glass. We put up paper on the bathroom door since you can see into it. Other thsn that the house was perfect.
Would recommend it.

An amazing deck with the sublime sounds of the Carribean Sea washing over you as you enjoy some of the best sunset views of a lifetime. The staff is friendly, responsive, helpful and accommodating. Wished the beds were a bit softer, but that is an individual preference. The cottage was very clean on arrival and properly set up and is strategically located near Heritage Kitchen a Cayman Institution that all visitors should try and those that have will always return to. This cottage is in the #iykyk category
Our group had a wonderful time at this home. It is at the end of 7 mile beach, so away from crowds. The outdoor furniture and hammock was put to great use. And the snorkeling out in front of the beach was the best on the island. The properties on either side of the home actually connect to this rentals decks. Luckily the groups on either side were nice. The house inside does seem somewhat dated. One negative was that all the interior doors are glass (even the bathroom) which makes it slightly uncomfortable when going with another couple. Also, the beds are listed as king and full but are only queen and full. Other than that we loved the property and the ease of snorkeling.

Nautilus Cottage is a perfect place next to the 7miles beach. Quiet location yet close to all services required for a calm family vacation. Fully equiped house with beautiful terrace and outstanding view to the sea. Great snorkeling location right at the front of the house.
