Whether you’re renting or purchasing a house, most tend to come fitted with a washer, dryer, fridge, microwave, dishwasher and stove. If you are renting, properties are usually equipped with some kitchen utensils, such as plates, cutlery, and pots.

Linens and towels are less frequently provided, however, a great selection of good quality beach towels can be found at Cost.U.Less in Governor's Square, Priced Right on Airport Road and Kirk Home Centre on Eastern Avenue.
Accessories can also make your house really feel like home. All the home centres and many furniture stores carry an interesting range of accessories, such as pillows, lamps, throws, linens and ornaments. Lamps with 110/115 volts and a two-pin electrical plug work here.
Bed sizes in Cayman are all US sizes, not European sizes. This means that a twin or single bed is 38” x 74”, a full bed is 54” x 80”, a queen is 60” x 80” and a king is 84” x 80”. Most mattress brands sold on-Island have pillow tops, so deep fitted sheets are a must.
Hardware & Building Supplieskeyboard_arrow_right
There are a handful of notable building supply companies in Cayman. It is feasible to build or renovate a house without resorting to buying from overseas. You can purchase blocks, concrete, windows, doors, bathrooms, plumbing equipment, electrical supplies, kitchens, roofing supplies and more on-Island.
The major building suppliers are A.L. Thompson’s and Kirk Home Centre. They are also the authorised dealers for many well-known brands and can special order anything you need (thus taking on the risk of it breaking en-route and you not being liable to replace it).
