The Little Cayman

Dream of a tropical island hideaway, a paradise where your cares drift away with the morning dew, a magical place to soothe your soul, revive your spirit and uncover a world where time melts into a crimson sunset. Escape to The Club on Little Cayman for a weeks accommodation and give yourself over to relaxation and luxury.  The three bedroom, three bathroom elegant condo offered by ESK parents. The condo is one of only eight condos nestled on a private beach on the south shore of Little Cayman, bordered by the South Hole Sound, a turquoise lagoon protected by the reef.  

If you love to scuba dive you will love Little Cayman. Scuba Diving Magazine ranked Little Cayman "one of the world's premier dive destinations with pristine reefs, excellent visibility and incredible diving”. 
Jacques Cousteau declared Little Cayman's waters to be among the top three diving sites in the world. Reefs, shipwrecks and Little Cayman's Bloody Bay Wall, considered the Caribbean's most sensational wall dive, create unforgettable dips. 

If you don't love to scuba dive don't worry! There are plenty of other activities that you can partake in.   You can rent a kayak, pack a picnic lunch, grab your snorkeling gear and head over to your own private island, known as Owen Island. Owen Island is the closest thing to paradise you will ever experience. The pristine waters around this island are perfect for seeing small fish, stingrays and the occasional eagle ray. Owen Islands sandy beach is also perfect for fishing, reading, shell collecting and swimming.
Other activities include offshore fishing and Inshore Bone Fishing and Fly Fishing, Biking, Tennis, Hiking, and feeding the Iguanas.


The condo is within walking distance to the Little Cayman Beach Resort.  It is like having your own private / secluded condo, but with the amenities and the services of the resort.  The resort has a wonderful bar area outside around the pool  with a beautiful view of the ocean and dock. The restaurant inside the beach resort is where you would find your gourmet type food. There's also a gift shop, boutique, spa and fitness center, as well as a fully-equipped dive shop and photo/center.

Commercial air service is provided by Cayman Airways Express flights running between Grand Cayman, Cayman Brac and Little Cayman.
Dates: six nights and seven days. Dates are flexible, pending owners approval.

Rainy Day People
The Rainey Day People – Barn Series is now featured on the website, but is not complete and as of yet does not include the ESK barns as they were shot more recently. The print donated to the school incorporates the ESK barn with the fantasy series. The elephants in that series where shot at the Knoxville Zoo, and recently featured at Bennett Galleries with a portion of the proceeds going to the zoo.
