_____________________________________________

Tatenda - meaning 'Thank you' in a South African dialect - is a ocean-front, luxury home on Grand Cayman's prestigious South Sound and offers a remarkable and relaxing vacation.

This stunning property is perfect for multigenerational families or up to 6 couples.

Gathering and entertaining areas are located through-out the villa and are furnished to the highest of standards and still comfortable. Villa highlights:

Bedroom 1 - Lower Level King Suite - King bed, ocean view, doors leading directly to the pool terrace, cable TV, bath with tub/shower combo.

Bedroom 2 - Lower Level bedroom with 2 Queen beds, Apple TV, bath with walk-in shower. This bedroom has a private garden entrance.

Bedroom 3 - Upper Level Master Suite - King Bed, ocean view, doors leading to expansive 2nd floor terrace, walk-in closet, desk, Cable and Apple TV, bath with soaking tub, separate shower and dual vanities.

Bedroom 4 - Upper Level King - King Bed, ocean view, doors leading to expansive 2nd floor terrace, Apple TV, private bath with shower.

Bedroom 5 - Upper Level King - King Bed, ocean view, doors leading to expansive 2nd floor terrace, Apple TV, private bath with shower.

Bedroom 6 - 3rd floor - Queen bed

Prices are based on 12 person occupancy.

*Please note:
Tatenda, like many villas along South Sound, East End & Rum Point, have shallow beach entries with silt and seagrass. Waist high water for swimming is approx. 50-75 away from the beach/shore. South Sound can also experience the same seasonal sargassum that affects most of the Caribbean. Sargassum is a generally harmless floating, red 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 sargassum impacts your stay, Governor's Beach or Smith Cove are excellent beaches to visit and have ample parking and sandy, walk-in swimming.

Girl cousin trip
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.

Amazing home with beach and snorkeling
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.

Memorable Stay at Tatenda
Wonderful week with family and friends, 15 in all. Weather wasn’t always what we hoped, but made the most of it. Monique was very helpful making Stingray City reservations and bringing jumper cables. Great location, beautiful home. Definitely recommend Tatenda!

Loved it here!
Our family had an amazing vacation at Tatenda. I don’t think anyone could be unhappy here. The house, hosts, pool, and cleanliness were all perfect. Another reviewer of this property stated, “book this house now, you won’t regret it”. I’m seconding that opinion. We will most certainly be back next year!

50th B-Day
Took our kids and their significant others for a week long stay in Grand Cayman. Kathy and Monique did a fantastic job in preparation including emails on restaurants, golf reservations, dinner spots and island must see destinations. House was great! One of the best suggestions Kathy gave was the option for an in house chef one night at the house. We had a few hiccups, but these two are truely professional and took care of the issues asap.

Grateful to be back in Cayman, can't wait to book Tatenda again!
That week was such a treat, wish we could have stayed for longer - will definately be back, 'soon come' as they say! The suites gave us our own space and the living areas meant we could gather in our own ways. There's plenty of sunny and shady spots, the outdoor kitchen/grill was our favourite. Monique & Kathy were great hosts, made all the recommendations and bookings we needed. Loved experiencing Caymankind again!

AMAZING!!!!
Our stay at Tatenda was amazing! Best trip ever. House was super clean, staff were awesome! Monica-the check in staff was super and checked in on us for everything! She recommended lots of great places! Kathy was great as well! Both were superb at communicating with me! The grounds were absolutely beautiful and the set up was great for my 5 kids.. My 2 year old son loved playing in the sand next to pool and felt like there was something to keep every child busy! We had chefs come and cook for us and highly recommend! Loved the place, staff, cleanliness, everything! There is nothing bad I could say about this place! The staff were beyond accommodating! Can’t wait to go back!

Beautiful Oceanfront Home
This was a beautiful well maintained home right on the water. We were a family of 12 with all ages and found the home perfect for our stay. It was in a great central location. The hosts Kathy and Monique were so helpful and easy to get ahold of. We especially appreciated the little touches, like well stocked toiletries in the bathrooms! Would recommend for anyone!
