Cayman Super Semi-D is E&O's premium-specification super-semi-D at Seri Tanjung Pinang. Fully renovated units are asking around RM6.5M as of September 2026 — close to the Villas By-The-Sea, but a different product. Cayman gives you private lift, private pool, about 5,000 sqft built-up, 5+1 bedrooms with maid's room, and premium luxury finishes — but as a semi-detached home with one shared wall. For a specific buyer profile, that trade is exactly right.
The essentials: E&O's premium super-semi-D at Seri Tanjung Pinang, freehold residential title, completed 2015. About 5,040 sqft built-up. 5+1 bedroom configuration with maid's room. Private lift and private pool as standard features. Current asking around RM6.5M for renovated units. Foreign-buyer eligible with substantial margin. Rating 4.6/5.
Because Cayman is a limited-edition boutique product, listings surface infrequently — being on my radar makes more sense than force-shopping active inventory. WhatsApp me with your criteria.

What "Super Semi-D" means
E&O built Cayman as a premium-upgrade version of the semi-D format. Standard semi-D at Seri Tanjung Pinang (Acacia, Avalon) runs around 4,000 sqft built-up on 40x80 plots without private lift or private pool. Cayman starts from a similar structural typology (semi-D with one shared wall) but scales the built-up to about 5,000 sqft, adds private lift as standard equipment, adds private swimming pool, and specifies premium finishes at handover.
The result is a product with the interior scale and premium spec of a bungalow, on a plot footprint that costs less than a detached villa. For a buyer whose budget lands at RM6-7M and who values interior features more than plot size or complete detachment, Cayman is a specific answer that neither Acacia (missing private lift and pool) nor the Villas By-The-Sea provide in the same way.
The shared wall matters. It's not a hypothetical detail — it changes daily acoustics, changes the wall you can't add an opening to, changes the setback you have on one side. For most Cayman buyers this is a non-issue; the shared wall is the trade for the premium spec at a slightly-below-detached-villa ticket. For buyers who want no shared wall at all, check the plan of each villa carefully; Martinique, a large courtyard villa, is the place to start.
Private lift and private pool — worth the format trade?
Private lift is a real feature on a 5,000 sqft multi-storey home. On a normal semi-D or bungalow, elderly parents or heavy grocery runs mean carrying everything up stairs. On a home with a private lift, that constraint vanishes. Buyers with multi-generational households — parents in their sixties or seventies, elderly grandparents visiting — usually understand the value immediately. Buyers who don't currently need the lift often underweight it, then find it's the daily feature that most changes how they live in the home.
Private pool is more variable. For families with young children or buyers who swim daily, it's a real feature — no communal pool traffic, no schedule constraint, private for entertainment. For buyers who won't use it more than a handful of times a year, it's a maintenance liability rather than a feature. Ask whether the pool will be used before you weight it in your decision.
Combined, private lift and private pool are the reason Cayman commands RM6.5M ticket versus RM3.2M-5M at Acacia/Avalon semi-D. Whether that premium is worth it depends entirely on whether you use those features. For the right buyer they compress noticeably over a 15-20 year hold.
Who this actually fits
Multi-generational families where the private lift is a genuine daily feature — elderly parents living with adult children, or buyers planning for their own aging. Second-home buyers from Hong Kong, Singapore or Taiwan whose Penang stay involves entertaining and who value the private pool for family gatherings. Malaysia My Second Home applicants at the top property leg who want premium spec on a controlled plot footprint.
Who Cayman doesn't fit: buyers who don't need a shared wall (look at the Villas By-The-Sea), buyers who won't use the lift or pool (Acacia or Avalon semi-D at RM3.2M-5M gives a similar family-size home without those features), and buyers who prioritise space (Martinique, at a similar price, is far larger).
Things to think through first
Fully-renovated versus original-condition matters at Cayman more than most. The RM6.5M current asking is for fully renovated units with the premium spec intact. An original-condition Cayman may trade RM500K-1M lower but need substantial renovation to bring 2015 finishes up to current spec. Model total cost of ownership including any renovation you'd do.
Private pool is a real maintenance cost. Budget RM10-15K annually for professional pool maintenance and chemistry, plus resurfacing every 8-10 years. If you're not going to use the pool, you're paying to maintain a feature that adds resale value but not daily value.
Private lift servicing is annually recurring. Budget RM3-5K annually for lift service contract on the private lift. Not a large sum but a fixed running cost worth knowing.
Shared wall is a real acoustic condition. Some Cayman units have well-insulated shared walls; some don't. Ask about acoustic performance when viewing — knock on the wall with your neighbour's permission, or ask what year the wall was constructed and what insulation standard was used. This matters more than most buyers check.
Zac’s Take
Zac Ong
Cayman Super Semi-D is E&O's premium-spec super-semi-D at Seri Tanjung Pinang — freehold, about 5,000 sqft built-up, private lift, private pool, 5+1 bedrooms. Current asking around RM6.5M for renovated units. My view: this is a specific-buyer product for households who value the private lift and pool and are comfortable with a shared wall. Best fit is multi-generational family with elderly parents (lift changes daily life noticeably), or second-home buyer who entertains and uses the pool. Not the pick if you don't use lift or pool — Acacia semi-D at RM3.2M-5M gives you a similar family-size home without paying for features you won't use. Not the pick if space is the priority — Martinique at a similar price is far larger. Fully renovated is where the RM6.5M sits; original condition needs renovation budget layered on top.
Next steps
Send me on WhatsApp whether the private lift is a genuine daily feature for your household and whether you'll actually use a private pool. Those two answers filter most of the Cayman-versus-alternatives decision. I'll come back with current inventory that fits.
