6:00 AM: Sunrise by the sea
The day begins quietly in South Sound.
In a modern oceanfront condo, David Ebanks sips his coffee on a breezy balcony as the first rays of sun stretch across the Caribbean. As a single professional in his 30s, he knows the island well. He has lived here his entire life.
Just down the street in a spacious family home shaded by mango trees, Sarah and Carlos Saunders are already up with their two kids putting on sneakers for a morning walk.
Both households step outside to the South Sound boardwalk—1.2 km of paved sea views. Joggers and dog walkers smile as they pass. Each enjoy the quiet moment with the sunrise. This is how the neighborhood wakes up: calm, coastal, connected.
7:30 AM: School runs and short commutes
Sarah heads out with the kids while Carlos takes meetings from his home office. Sarah is grateful for the dozens of nearby school options right on her way to work. After drop-off, she breezes into Cayman Enterprise City where she leads a development team in the region’s fastest-growing tech hub.
Meanwhile, David hops on his bike and heads to Cricket Square, home to one of the Big Four financial firms. He grabs a tea from the nearby cafe before walking into his sleek office. His commute time is only five minutes.
12:00 PM: Midday moments
Lunch in South Sound is more than just a break. It’s a breath of fresh air.
David opts for a quick meal at Cayman Cabana. Its breezy verandas and sea views a welcome contrast to his high-intensity workday crunching numbers.
Sarah swings by the house to walk the dog and catch up with her husband Carlos before he heads off to a quick meeting at the nearby Cayman Islands’ government headquarters.
The accessibility here changes everything. Errands, appointments, even unexpected schedule shifts. Things are easy to manage when you’re never more than five minutes from anything.
5:30 PM: Evening energy
South Sound’s community spirit comes alive in the late afternoon. Sarah and Carlos’ kids are at the Truman Bodden Sports Complex, thanks to their nanny. One is at football (soccer) practice while the other is learning to swim. This leaves Carlos with time to join a game at the Rugby Club and for Sarah to fit in some gym time at Harbour Walk.
David, feeling adventurous, signs up for a twilight dive at Eden Rock. The reefs here are thriving, and the dive community is as welcoming as it is experienced. He even has time to fit in a 45 minute dive before heading back home to clean up for his next activity.
7:30 PM: Connection & community
As the sky deepens to violet, David meets his high school friends at Grand Old House for a wine tasting. Meanwhile, Sarah and Carlos host neighbors on their back porch, sharing a cold brew as the children play.
10:00 PM: Rest & reflection
Back at the condo, the sound of waves lapping the shore lulls David to sleep as he cherishes living near friends and family. Across the way, Sarah closes the shutters and Carlos smiles. The day was full, but easy. It’s the kind of balance they never quite found anywhere else.
In South Sound, every day is different, yet always familiar. Whether you’re a working professional, a growing family, or simply someone who wants to live close to the sea and even closer to community, life here offers the perfect rhythm. Connected. Comfortable. Completely Cayman.
