About Paul de Freitas

Paul and Fay Anne de Freitas are both world travellers who settled in the Cayman Islands in 1983. Brought up in Guyana, England and Ireland, and having lived in the USA, Antigua and Grenada, we bring a knowledge of what is needed to instinctively feel comfortable and at home in a new environment. Paul is involved in a company which produces banking software and travels fairly regularly to his office in Sweden.

Paul and Fay Anne built this Apartment in 2014.

Why Paul de Freitas chose East End

Paul and Fay Anne recognised that unique beach property is hard to find. And the Half Moon Bay is very unique - a coral garden. With grounds of an acre and deep deposits of white sand over a stable ironshore base, the site offered many possibilities for development. We decided to place a twin apartment structure on the east side of the property since this kind of layout maximises privacy for individual renters. We designed Crescent Beach from the ground up and it has received certificates of excellence. .Crescent Beach is an extension of our personality and even includes artwork from Fay Anne.

What makes this Apartment unique

Crescent Beach is unique because its beach fronts a small bay, Half Moon Bay, full of living coral gardens among which you can walk - only on the sandy bits please. It is even more unique because the properties to the east and west have iron-shore frontage - a tough, craggy, limestone rock - and for this reason, the usual rule of the beach being open to walkers up to the high water mark really does not apply. To access the beach, third parties would have to cross private property. So for visitors keen on quiet relaxation, but fast and convenient access to restaurants, diving, and about 30 minutes away, the big city - George Town and Camana Bay, Crescent Beach affords the best of both worlds.

Lovely Beach House in a Quiet Area


We stayed in the lower unit \"Sand\" the last week of Jan 2020. What a breathtaking view right out your front door! The house was very clean and well equipped. Paul was excellent with communication before and during the trip. Fay Anne was picked up our groceries so we didn\'t have to worry about that after a long day of travelling. We rented a van and loved that we could drive anywhere on the island easily. Rum Point was our favourite place to go and we went there 3 days. It was a perfect white sand beach with lots of available chairs. Our grandchildren ages 4 and 22 months loved playing on the beach so much! Rum Point restaurant serves amazing lunches and frozen drinks. Beach bubbles is a great stop for lovely handmade soaps and cute gifts for your friends and family at home. We loved going to different restaurants on the oceanfront around the island. Tukka was especially a great experience. They feed the birds at 5 pm and our 4 year old grandson got a real kick about seeing the sharks! Crescent beach was spacious and comfortable and we highly recommend it to anyone looking for a home away from home on beautiful Cayman Island.

This place is gorgeous & Paul & Faye were the sweetest . Everything about this sight is perfect!


We were met by Paul as soon as we arrived. He & Faye are the most gracious & thoughtful hosts you could ask for. Our accommodations were amazing!! Everything you need for a beach vacation was provided for us to use. The location is secure & away from the hustle & bustle but still steps from the beautiful ocean & just a few miles from main attractions & groceries. We absolutely had the most perfect vacation here & plan to return!!!

WOW


Absolutely as advertised. I was with a big group who rented SAND and SKY and it was just amazing. We all loved the property and being away from the bustle of town. It also has some incredible snorkeling right out the back door and a view that cannot be beat. We spotted jacks, tarpon, spiny lobster, flounder, and puffer fish in addition to the usual reef fish while snorkeling the cove. Paul is very respectful of your space but also a great help for whatever you need with a great sense of humor. Couldn’t think of a better spot on Grand Cayman to spend time with friends and family, Thanks Paul and Fay Ann!

Family


We spent a week long family vacation in the Sand apt - everything was perfect, including the weather. The location is private, but easy to drive the busier areas of the island and the sights and activities we were interested in as tourists. The apt is beautiful, and the owners wonderful people. It is truly beachfront. We were so glad to have been able to stay here and would rent this unit again in a heartbeat - Came home to the worst snow storm of the season in NY this year, but had wonderful memories to keep us warm.
