Good location in West Bay
Convenient location to area beaches, restaurants, grocery, and liquor stores. Just a short walk to a beach and Heritage Kitchen restaurant. There are a few very small rental units adjacent to this home that appeared to have local people living in them. This is not apparent on the listing and someone parked right outside the bedroom window. Note the curtains are pretty sheer so not very private. The sheer curtains also let in the morning sun so very bright at sunrise. The host was very friendly. It is her old home and she seams a little overprotective with people staying there. The place needs updating (window treatments for better privacyand a good cleaning. Very dusty ceilings fans and tile flooring left our feet pretty dirty.

The beach is less than a 5 minute walk
Although we didn't get much time to see a lot of the Cayman Islands due to work, coming home to a house in the evening was fantastic. The beach is less than a 5-minute walk, and the sunset there is fantastic. The house is exactly like the pictures, and the host (Pearl) is the best you could ever ask for. Pearl always went out of her way to ensure our stay was perfect and kept in contact while we were there. And her guided tour of Hell was perfect, lol. Stay here if you plan on going to the Cayman Islands. You'll love it.

Great home and lovely hosts
The four of us had a great time at Aloe Vera. Our hosts were so nice. They showed us around the house and were always there for us. They gave us some small Cayman souvenirs before we left too.

Our plan was to scuba dive the West Bay and this house was walking distance to the West Bay Pier where our dive boat was located. Enjoyed Cemetery Beach and watching the sunset at Alfrescos. Hosts were fantastic.

Neighborhood feel very close to beach
Pearl was a treat. Her home had all my brother and i needed. On the north end of seven mile beach. Good home base to drive around the island just on the fringe of the tourist area. I would go back and visit her and her home again.

Aloe Vera Cottage was a stay in Paradise!
Loved short walk to beautiful swimming/Sunset walks/ snorkeling West Bay Cayman beach. The house was well maintained and very clean. The host Pearl was great to work with and made sure we had everything we needed for our beach vacation. This was our second stay at the Aloe Vera cottage and look forward to our next Cayman Island vacation in the same beach cottage. We enjoyed a sunset dinner at Alfresco’s and the Subway restaurant was great for a quick lunch. Great family vacation spot.
