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.

Amazing!
Our family stayed at Crescent Beach Sky for a week in August 2024. Our stay was simply amazing. House was immaculate and the location was stunning. We enjoyed snorkeling everyday right in the bay-so much to see. Pool, game room and movie room were such a plus. We will be back!

Nice house
The house was just as described. It was the perfect size for 6 of us and clean and very well kept. Paul was amazing and communication was great. There were many things to do right on the property, but the longest we drove was 45 minutes to ride horses. SMB was about 30 minutes at most. The beach is rocky, but we knew that before we booked. It’s fun for snorkeling, but not a beach for playing on. I recommend this property and these owners.

Absolutely Amazing!
This is an absolute gem in Grand Cayman! The owners, Paul, Faye Anne, and Bugsy, are wonderful! They are always pointing out things they see, including turtle nests and hatchings! The bay area is perfect for snorkeling. My husband was able to see a nurse shark, stingray, lobster, and an array of other sea life. They literally have thought of everything here! The pictures do not do this property justice. We will be back in the near future!

May 2024- Sky was amazing!
Amazing! Thank you Paul and Faye for sharing your beautiful place! Paul and Bugsy were there to welcome us on arrival, he so kindly showed us around the property! It is an amazing property! From the views, to the well equipped kitchen, beautiful bedrooms/bathrooms with wonderful views, ping pong, darts, pool table, pool/spa, grills and the new addition of corn hole that Faye hand painted! They have everything you need, the house is so nicely decorated and so clean!!! The pictures are absolutely accurate! We loved chatting with Paul and Faye! Paul showed us turtle tracks on the beach, we snorkeled in the reef, so nice! We loved having coffee on the deck listening to the waves, the stars and the moon over the water were amazing too! We enjoyed the pool day and night and we made s’mores in the fire pit while enjoying the hammocks! We enjoyed morning walks to the blow holes as well! We will for sure be back as Paul and Faye are the most fantastic hosts ever! Thanks again!! Love to Bugsy too!

First visit to Cayman Islands
Our stay here was perfect! Paul and Fay Anne have really thought of everything that you need for a wonderful stay. The accommodation was clean, comfortable and extremly well stocked. The views from the property were outstanding. We had chosen to stay on the less busy and crowded side of the island and very pleased we did. It was an easy drive to where we wanted to go for beaches, dinner etc. Communication with Paul and Fay Anne during the booking proccess and during our stay was excellent. We highly recommend this property and would love to visit again soon!

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!

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.

Exactly as described - beautiful view!
Property description is accurate, Paul and his wife are right next door and very helpful . Apartment has everything you could need, several groceries on way to the apartment.The location is beautiful, but the beach is very rocky. It is a perfect location to get away and feel like you’re on your own little island. I would only suggest adding a tower type fan to each bedroom as it is very warm.(there is one in the master bedroom)

Relaxing East End stay
The property was just as expected. Right on the beach, quiet and secluded. Snorkling in the bay was excellent except that it was a challenge to get into the water, quite rocky. But with water shoes, everything was smooth sailing once the water was waist high. The location was what we wanted - away from the crowds and private. When we did go to seven mile beach, the longest drive was 45 minutes ( as long as it wasn't rush hour). While we were there, a nest of turtles under the sand hatched and two of them got left behind. So we had the privilege to watch the release of those 2 turtle hatchlings, thanks to Paul. Anyway highly recommend to people who want to keep things private.

Can’t stress enough how awesome this place is. It’s like you are a celebrity with your very own beach and bay - just for you and yours to enjoy. The restaurants around are so good - special shout out to Tukka (ask for Tido as your waiter) as well as Czech Inn. Ocean Frontiers Scuba was so close and they were a spot on professional organization. Can’t say enough about 1/2 Moon Bay - AWESOME!

Exceeded All Expectations
The owner, Paul, was an awesome host! He had everything we could possibly need or want, and was very helpful ahead time with great suggestions as we planned our trip to Grand Cayman. The house was even better than how the pictures and the website described it. Besides the quiet, beautiful setting, the house sits on one of the best snorkeling spots on the island. Half Moon Bay teams with all kinds of ocean life. The house is also not far from some of the best “locals” places to eat at very reasonable prices. And for divers, Ocean Frontiers is only a 7 minute drive away. Looking forward to hopefully staying there again soon.

Perfect Inside and Out
Sky at Crescent Beach is spectacular--both the house and the natural environment around it. We came with our two teenage sons for a pre-Christmas holiday, and were impressed. The space is beautiful with a high ceiling and spectacular views of the bay--sunsets to the right, sunrises to the left! There are a dozen places to sit and read or eat. Every amenity has been thought of--a generously stocked and well equipped kitchen, a first aid kit, sunscreen, a bottle of wine, a rum cake, two kinds of fancy soap.... Snorkeling in the bay is wonderful. Getting in and out is a bit of a challenge over the rocks, but we saw amazing things--a giant puffer fish, a nurse shark, spiny lobsters, and a juvenile eagle ray. The East End is relatively quiet. We avoided ever driving to the busy part of the island, but we found a ton of great things to do right near by. Recommend the blue iguana sanctuary and botanical garden. Lovely place and with thoughtful hosts. Highly recommend.

Better than Advertised - A snorkeling lovers dream!
Thank you Paul and Anna Fey!!!! Best host you could hope for. Great communication from even before we booked. Recommendations on anything we asked for and they were all great. They were always accessible anytime we had a question etc. Paul met us when we pulled in to property. Although we ensured him we were good, he jumped right in and helped us unload the groceries from the car we had ordered from Hurleys online. (Highly Recommended) He gave us a full tour of 'sky' and all the common areas around the pool and game / theatre areas. He showed us everything we needed to know about operations of everything. The accommodations were very nice. Large beds with comfortable mattresses and linens. Modern baths, and kitchen with many cooking utensils and appliances. There was beach chairs, coolers, towels, even additional snorkel gear / pfd's etc. available to take when going to different beach areas around the island. However it is very comfortable to stay here all day on the beach, pool, snorkeling etc. and not go anywhere if you want. The southern facing property gives you the most sun possible sunrise to sunset, awesome! One very nice feature was the fact that there was nothing we had to do before we left. No cleaning, dishes, laundry, etc. all we had to do was pack, every minute we were on our vacation until the time we had to fly out. Many VRBO locations leave you a long list of items to be done before leaving or additional fees added blah blah blah. I could write a short book on all the positives about our stay but I will end with the water and snorkeling right out the back door in Crescent Beach. You have the whole bay to yourself! Paul told me they have some of the best snorkeling around the island. That is a big statement for Grand Cayman! For those that have been, you know what I mean. Well, he was correct, the variety of fish, coral, sea fans, enamines, and sea urchins was amazing. 'Paul Jr' as I call him, a large Puffer Fish that apparently has lived there for a long time was my favorite! Just a small list we saw: Spiny lobster, grouper, lemon fish, grunts, sergeant majors, angel fish, butterfly fish, scorpion fish, rays, flounder, parrot fish, chubs, porgy, snapper and more. I hope to post photos if possible.

I echo the sentiments of others that have stayed in the apartment before my family and I. Paul and Fay Anne are excellent hosts and two genuinely beautiful souls. They were very supportive of us during our quarantine stay collecting our groceries at the supermarket for us and always calling to check in to make sure that we were comfortable and had no concerns. The apartment itself is very comfortable and has everything you need and then some. The view is of course the best part! I would absolutely stay here again and recommend to others.
