Overview

West Bay, Grand Cayman

A firm favourite place to live with locals, West Bay is within easy commuting to Camana Bay and George Town, served by the West Bay Road (coast road) and also an efficient bypass. A family-orientated, friendly district, West Bay encapsulates island living to perfection from every angle, with historic cottages adding an element of heritage, gorgeous beaches and quiet coastlines offering breath-taking, breezy ocean views. With all this on offer and still has an excellent variety of accommodations to suit all budgets.

Prime seafront homes naturally command high-end prices, yet there are still well-priced properties for sale. Popular areas include the exceptional beachfront homes along Boggy Sands Road, superb family residences at The Shores and private ocean-front homes of distinction at the Conch Point Beach Resort.

West Bay is a dream for those who love the outdoors, with pony-trekking, kite-surfing and wind-surfing centres on the doorstep, not to mention the plethora of dive sites that dot this part of the coast. Barkers National Park is natural jewel in the West Bay crown, a secluded section of pristine coast that can be enjoyed responsibly by all.

Foodies are spoilt of choice as some of the island’s best restaurants are located here. The delightful Italian restaurant, Ristorante Pappagallo, is a beautiful destination in its own right, a tiki-style property nestled in its own unique bird sanctuary, while Calypso Grill is the epitome of laid-back Caribbean high-end dining. It’s located on Sticky Toffee Lane, named after the restaurant’s superb sticky toffee pudding. Not to be missed!

Discover what our clients have said about their experience of working with us.

My partner and I have now been living on beautiful Grand Cayman for just over two years and we could not be happier; largely due to the exceptional and supportive service from Sotheby’s International. Basia, our personal Sotheby’s agent, very quickly understood our needs and showed us properties that matched them perfectly.
A. and J.
Relocation
We relocated to the Cayman Islands two years ago and have relied on Basia for all our real estate needs. Basia is always very knowledgeable, friendly, and professional. We would not hesitate to recommend Basia and the Sothebys team.
N. H.
Relocation
When our family moved to Grand Cayman two years ago, Basia was an integral part of making our transition as seamless as possible. She was prepared, thorough, and thoughtful as she guided us through viewing homes and ultimately our relocation to this lovely island.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Brittainy Slade with Cayman Islands Sotheby’s International Realty. From day one Brittainy was extremely professional, with great knowledge of the Island and knew exactly what we were looking for. She was very responsive to our needs and was always available when we needed her to be.
G. L.
Land Purchase
Being an overseas vendor, I was lucky to have Gianpierre assist with the sale of my property. He was able to find a buyer at double the price I had originally been offered and we sold it within 3 weeks of listing! We’ve been working together on multiple projects since then.
T. H.
Overseas Seller
Gianpierre is incredibly dedicated and passionate about the Cayman Islands real estate market; he will go above and beyond for his clients!
A. M.
At the end of last year, I had Karina from Sotheby’s sell my condo and she did a great job. She got it sold for me and then I called her a couple months later saying I needed to buy another place!
J. C.
Caymanian Buyer and Seller
I have bought and sold with Karina over the past 6 years. I must say in every experience Karina has not only been reliable and direct. Karina has got me the best price and gone above and beyond my already high expectations of a realtor.
B. P.
Buyer and Seller
Karina has been our Realtor for many years, she always rents our properties and recently sold one of our houses. I like her ways, how she deals with people, she is very professional and I would definitely recommend her to anyone that needs Real Estate services.
M. P. and P. P.
Seller
Kate has been phenomenal from start to finish and beyond, helping us find the perfect property and going the extra mile both during and after our purchase. Having purchased virtually off-Island during the pandemic, Kate made another wise stressful process straightforward, is always super responsive and acted as our eyes and ears on-Island with frequent video calls. We are so grateful to have Kate as our realtor and friend and cannot recommend here enough!
J. B-W.
Overseas Buyer
We are all smiles. Kate, we want to say thank you. With a small budget and a growingly expensive market you were able to find us a property that fit our needs after such long and wild drives and viewings. We want to say thank you so much from our family to you and Cayman Islands Sotheby’s International Realty. P.S We actually miss the house hunting though, it was fun!
M., L., T., & L.
Buyers
I never thought I would say that buying a house virtually, during a pandemic, in a country that we have never even visited, would be a smooth and easy experience but it has been exactly that from start to finish! We met Kate through a realtor friend from Sotheby’s New York and after a facetime meeting we engaged with her happy and professional approach to our long list of requirements.
K. A. & J. A.
Overseas Buyers
Working with Nikki was a great experience. I actually bought my house from her, flipped it and resold it through her. She made the process easy to understand both times. She also got things done quickly and efficiently.
R.M
Buyer & Seller
I cannot say enough about the expert work that Nikki Broadhurst did on the sale of my property. It is highly unusual, in this time, to find someone who really cares how the outcome of a sale turns out. I would recommend her to anyone doing real estate business in Cayman and will definitely use her again. thanks again.
J. M.
Seller
Nikki went above and beyond to help us feel secure about our purchase. Her knowledge and connections on the island gave us the information necessary to realize our dream of having a place in Cayman.
L. K. & G. K.
Buyer
Nikki was not only a consummate professional, but her warm and affable manner made the whole process of seeking accommodation in Grand Cayman a pleasurable and frictionless experience. Nikki made herself available at all hours (we were based in Europe and the US), and she adapted to our particular circumstances (FaceTime calls and a dedicated WhatsApp group) Furthermore, her diligence, local knowledge and instinct proved invaluable for us.
S. P. & R. S.
Overseas Buyers
Gianpierre was remarkably helpful in the quest for a new investment property. He worked well beyond what one could expect staying in touch constantly and also finding a tenant within 10 days! We couldn't recommend him more.
A. S. & Y. S.
Investment
Cathy recently helped us sell our home, and also find a new dream property. She was there every step of the way during the selling and purchasing process and just made it all so easy. Cathy listens to what her clients want, and then she gets it for them! She is efficient, supportive and lots of fun to work with. We would not hesitate in recommending Cathy to everyone for their real estate needs.
M. M. & J. M.
Buyers & Sellers
I recently had the pleasure of working with Cathy MacLean. I needed to sell my property quickly, and she did not disappoint! She was able to bring me a buyer within a couple of weeks of listing, for close to full asking price. Cathy made the whole process seamless; handling all the advertising, paperwork and closing requirements. She was professional, and her expertise and confidence took all the stress off the transaction.
V. M.
Seller
My husband and I recently purchased a second condo in Cayman to accommodate our growing family. Cathy MacLean was our realtor and we can not express strongly enough what an excellent job she did and what wonderful service we received before and after the sale. Cathy was attentive, efficient, responsive and answered all of our many questions. Most of all Cathy listened to what we wanted and needed. She is truly YOUR advocate.
A. B. & F. B.
Buyer
My husband and I have purchased 3 properties (over the last 7 years) including our dream home recently, with Patty Nugent. Each of these experiences were so seamless and easy because of Patty's very comprehensive knowledge and her amazing marketing skills. I hope Sotheby's realizes the gem they have. For any future investment purchases (since she has already helped us to find our perfect dream home) she would definitely be our go to person.
P. D.
Buyer
I was very satisfied buying through Jono at Sotheby’s. I did not feel as if I was being pushed into buying a specific property, but truly perceived his desire to help find the right place for my family.

In the last few years we have bought & sold multiple properties with Caroline whose work is quite simply, outstanding. We happily & highly endorse her.
H. W.
Buyer & Seller
We have purchased and sold many homes over the years and without question we have never had a better experience than working with Sheena & the Cayman Island’s Sotheby’s International Realty team. They have earned our highest recommendation!
S. H.
Buyer & Seller
Shernean was exceptionally receptive to my needs and I found the home of my dreams.  I highly recommend the Cayman Islands Sotheby’s International Realty team – they are conversant and extremely professional.
L. H.
Buyer
Heather Carrigan was referred to us and she has been a great fit! She is friendly, knowledgeable and really cares about her clients. Her communication with us, both while on and off the island, was superb. Heather wants to ensure her clients are happy. When we purchased our condo, we had no doubt that it was the right place for us. We would highly recommend her to anyone considering buying a property!
A. M. & T. M.
Buyers
Product knowledge and patience are the two biggest attributes I look for in a realtor on Grand Cayman. Patty is one of very few professionals I recommend when asked for advice regarding realty in the eastern districts of Grand Cayman. Her experience as an investor/developer AND a realtor helps all of her clients in the long-run. Patty quickly sorts out the important issues during negotiation.
J. L.
Patty Nugent has been a blessing. She listened to our wishes and needs and understood them completely. She then set forth to full fill them. She found a lovely home in the exact area I wanted and also 2 undeveloped lots...all beachfront. It was an absolute pleasure to work with such an honest and trustworthy agent. We are now in the process of moving to Cayman fulltime. THANK YOU Patty!

In the last 5 years we have worked with Jonathan Sparrow to sell two Seven Mile Beach condo units. Both of these units were priced to market and we had multiple offers in excess of the listing price within four days of listing. The whole process from listing through closing went smoothly due to Jonathan’s professional experience. His market knowledge made our transactions an exceptionally pleasant experience.

We first met Caroline over 12 years ago and we are so glad we did. We have conducted multiple transactions with her and have been extremely happy with her first class service. She has always gone above and beyond to help us. We highly recommend using her services whether you are selling or buying. You will be in good hands!

Buyers & Sellers
Caroline is the best realtor in the Cayman Islands, there are many other realtors but none of them come close. I bought my condo at Georgetown Villas when the building was brand new and owned it for many years, and Caroline did such a wonderful job selling it. Whether you are buying or selling property, for first class service you should call Caroline.
M. B. Wisconsin USA
Overseas Seller
Caroline was recommended to us when we were house hunting 22 years ago. Her extensive knowledge of the property market in Cayman and her professionalism is second to none. We have bought and sold 6 different properties with her!  She made it stress free, something very rare when buying or selling real estate.  I would recommend Caroline to anyone looking for a great Realtor.
M. Sabti, Grand Cayman
Buyer and Seller
Working with Caroline Thorburn has been an absolute joy.  My wife and I were selling a property in the Cayman Islands while we lived in Florida.  Our initial apprehension of trying to sell a property while we were not based on the island was quickly put to rest once we started working with Caroline.  Caroline was always available when we needed her, we could not have chosen a better person to assist us.
Brian R, Florida
Seller
Solidly professional all the way Caroline has guided me wisely through more than 2 property purchases over the past 10 years. Caroline is the real thing. A genuine diamond who still helps me with issues when I'm not there. Highly recommend.
MH, Bermuda
Buyer
Caroline’s in depth knowledge and advice on the real estate market in Cayman definitely made a big difference in helping me in my search for a home in Cayman. 5 star service until the end and beyond she is just amazing. Many thanks Caroline!
KP, Quebec
Buyer
I had the pleasure of working with Caroline, to both buy and sell property. She is professional, hardworking, genuine, patient and seems to know the answer to every possible real estate question! What really stood out was her attentiveness to my needs and concerns. She did a phenomenal job at putting my mind at ease and we achieved top dollar on the sale.
Sarah B. Ireland
Buyer and Seller
Caroline managed a complex multi-property purchase with wholesale expertise, informed by her extensive personal investment experience. As a property investor and years of experience, she has an invaluable perspective and network.  In particular, she understands the strictures that come with a US 1031 transaction, and was constantly cracking the whip to ensure that developers, vendors, solicitors, banks, and property managers were aligned and all ...
Steve C, California, USA 
Buyer
Purchasing a second home on Grand Cayman could not have been easier. Being from another country, we weren’t familiar with all that would be involved. But from our first contact with Caroline, she walked us through every step of the way, exceeding our expectations. Responsive, professional, and honest, and because of her expertise, we were able to complete the entire transaction remotely. We will ...
