Pura Vida, South Sound Home

Tucked away behind a private walled garden in the heart of South Sound, one of Grand Cayman’s most established and convenient residential pockets, this one-of-a-kind residence offers a rare balance of character, comfort, and laid-back island living.

Pura Vida — “pure life” — has been thoughtfully reimagined into a home that channels a relaxed Costa Rican surf aesthetic, pairing polished concrete floors and exposed timber ceilings with crisp white walls and striking interior accents.

The home runs entirely on solar power with battery storage, offering true energy independence.

From the moment you enter, the sense of space is unmistakable. The light-filled, open-plan layout connects the main living zones, anchored by a show-stopping kitchen and living space where a vaulted tongue-and-groove ceiling and exposed beams soar overhead. At the centre of it all sits an oversized island with generous seating for the whole family, while a full wall frames the lush garden greenery beyond.

Appointed with a gas cooktop, built-in oven and microwave, and abundant cabinetry, the kitchen is as functional as it is beautiful. A custom timber-slat partition defines a stylish home office off the main living area, offering exceptional flexibility for remote work, study, or quiet retreat.

There are three generously proportioned bedrooms framed by warm timber and industrial-chic detailing. On the ground floor, the primary suite is a true sanctuary, featuring black shiplap wall detailing, garden views through floor-to-ceiling glass, and a spa-inspired ensuite complete with freestanding tub, rainfall shower, and a serene outlook to a private outdoor area. Upstairs, a loft-style landing overlooks the living space below and leads to two further bedrooms, offering comfortable separation between the primary retreat and the rest of the home. Downstairs also houses a den room, ideal as home office or playroom.

The outdoor spaces are every bit as inviting. Mature tropical landscaping surrounds the home, with stepping-stone pathways, raised garden beds, a screened patio, and a generous terrace creating the perfect setting for relaxed afternoons and evening gatherings, all while enjoying Cayman’s year-round outdoor living weather.

Behind the scenes, the home is equally well considered. The fully solar-powered system is complemented by impact-rated windows, split-system air conditioning, and a dedicated laundry room — delivering efficiency, resilience, and peace of mind, with the standout benefit of living free from monthly electricity bills.

Life in South Sound places you within a stone’s throw of schools and the beach. Homes of this character, in a location of this convenience, seldom become available. Pura Vida represents an exceptional opportunity to secure one of South Sound’s most compelling residences.
