Calling all sun-seekers with their sights set on Grand Cayman: Beyond the island's solid selection of hotels and resorts, there are hundreds of accommodations available on Airbnb. And whether you want a high-rise unit overlooking Seven Mile Beach or a low-key escape on the island's secluded East End, there's a little something for everyone.

For travelers who want to stay near the action …

Three-bedroom condo near Seven Mile Beach
Most accommodations on Seven Mile Beach — Grand Cayman's most popular tourist area — are hotels or private condo complexes. This three-bedroom condo is one of the prettiest, with a full kitchen, a screened-in porch, and access to a shared swimming pool, hot tub, and BBQ area. Restaurants, bars, and other Seven Mile hot spots are a short walk away.Courtesy Airbnb

… and those who don’t

Three-bedroom house near Heritage Beach
Grand Cayman's East End is much more remote than its bustling west coast, but it's home to some of the island's top snorkeling and dive sites. (Plus, Seven Mile Beach is still only a 45-minute drive away.) Unpack for a few days at this bright three-bedroom house across the street from Heritage Beach, just a few miles west of East End.Courtesy Airbnb

For beach lovers who don’t mind a little kitsch

Parrot-ise House
You won't have trouble finding the Parrot-ise House — its lime-green façade is pretty impossible to miss. Other impressive amenities at this brightly decorated, four-bedroom villa on the island's northwest coast: a freshwater pool, a tiki bar, and a private beach that has been designated by the Cayman Islands government as a sea turtle nesting site.Courtesy Airbnb

For those who want to connect with nature

Two-bedroom condo on Pristine Spotts Beach
Pristine Spotts Beach on Grand Cayman's southern coast is one of the best places on the island to snorkel with sea turtles, thanks to the small amount of boat traffic in the area. This funky two-bedroom condo is directly on the beach — past guests have been fans of its easy sea access and the bunk beds in the lofts for kids.Courtesy Airbnb

For the jet-setting urban dwellers
