Photos and Description of the Cayman Brac vacation house rental
House, 1 Bedroom + Convertible bed(s), 1 Bath, (Sleeps 2-4)

This stunning property on the West End of Cayman Brac, BWI is a private unit consisting of a separate kitchen, dining, and living area as well as a full bathroom and private entrances.

Your tropical tranquil oceanfront vacation home is just feet from the Caribbean waters, and far away from the maddening crowds and the bustle of tourist-saturated areas. While you sunbathe you can enjoy the ocean breeze and be mesmerized by the turquoise Caribbean waters and sapphire surf only feet from your door.

Cayman Brac is a sister island to the highly developed island of Grand Cayman and has managed to remain unspoiled, making it the perfect antidote to the over-programmed resort vacation. Explore the island’s many hidden treasures while relaxing in your own private retreat. Whether rock-climbing, caving, shelling, diving, fishing, snorkeling, bird watching, hiking, walking the shore line or simply relaxing is what you desire, you will have a vacation to remember. Enjoy the peace and quiet and the laid-back island pace in a thoroughly modern and comfortable house that will immediately become your home.

Listen to the never-ending rhythm of the gentle rolling waves and feel the cooling breezes as you enjoy the warm sunshine and stunning sunsets any time of the year. There is plenty of privacy and you'll enjoy the small yellow songbirds and the island's native brown booby and frigate birds that seem to enjoy the lush, tropical surroundings. The visibility in the water is incredible and the coral reefs endless. The low temperature of the water in mid winter is 78F so you can swim all year long. We call Cayman Brac 'detox from life'. The most difficult part of your vacation will be packing your sandals and leaving this absolute tropical paradise and the fine comfortable accommodations of the house.

This oceanfront beach property overlooks the Caribbean and Little Cayman and has access to some of the best diving and snorkeling in the world. Rebuilt and remodeled in the fall and winter of 2009, its 850 square feet offers hardwood floors, all new fixtures, furnishings, and appliances as well as a full kitchen and living room with a large flatscreen television with RGB and HDMI connections, iPod docks, surround sound systems, and high speed wireless internet. This unit is equipped with all the amenities one would expect from a finer home.

Stretch out twenty feet from the water on a lounger or hammock in the 360 square foot beach cabana with silver palm thatched roof. BYOB.

Swimmers, snorkelers, and scuba divers can take advantage of the outside shower, freshwater rise tank, and dive equipment drying rack.

If there are any issues I will be there to help you. I only live five minutes away. If you have any special requests -- be it for snorkeling gear, horse shoes, bicycles, movies -- I can usually help you out.

If you’re vacationing with friends but still want your privacy these units are perfect because you'll be close when you want and still have the privacy when you desire it.

I offer a food option at an additional cost, providing food and alcoholic beverages. For $100, when you arrive you can find your accommodations stocked with the following: Coffee, tea bags, sugar, creamer, 2 dozen eggs, frozen toaster waffles, syrup, frozen breakfast potatoes, bacon, 1 loaf of wheat bread, butter or margarine, chips, 6 pack Coke, 6 pack Diet Coke, 1 bottle of champagne or a fine sparkling wine, 6 pack of Heineken, and 1 bottle of rum. Of course other sundry supplies will be available to all guests and is included in the price of the rental. Isn't it nice to know you can arrive any time of the day, put your belongings down, and begin to immediately unwind and enjoy your surroundings?

For your convenience I have also arranged a special deal with a local car rental agency for those who might desire it. For those who will be renting for seven days you will get your seventh day free. Additionally, if you pay with traveler’s checks or cash you will receive a 5% discount.

Bicycles and fishing poles come with the property rental. You can also use the kayaks, underwater sea-doos, snorkeling gear and more

There are public tennis and basketball courts, a full spa, and a full fitness room just minutes away. Inexpensive maid service is also available.

About Henry Barbera

I grew up in south New Jersey in the States and always loved being in the sun by water and palm trees. I've always traveled and I vacationed here several years ago. When I retired at age 48 I returned to purchase a property. Now I have two properties one on the south side and I am renting the one on the north side. The water is just incredible and now I'm a certified Scuba Diver and just can't get enough of it. The Coral Reefs are amazing and can be experienced by just snorkeling. I can't ever imagine returning to the States. This place in nothing like Florida with its millions of people and chain retail.

Henry Barbera purchased this house in 2009
Why Henry Barbera chose Cayman Brac

Cayman Brac is a magical place where you can walk about in the middle of a star lit night and have not a single worry of crime or annoyances. Your family is safe here and you can feel it as the locals will wave to everyone including you. Very few people lock their houses and almost everyone will leave their car keys in the ignition 24/7 and that’s a fact. This Island is so special it has become a vacation destination for folks who live on other Caribbean Islands. The stars will make you stop in your tracks as there is very little background lights to dim the skis. You will see shooting stars and satellites orbiting the earth, you can clearly see the band of the Milky Way. This is a Scuba divers paradise with several dive boats operating daily. The visibility in the water is incredible and the coral reefs endless. This is an island of a thousand people but we do have a hospital and a few police officers. An officer's job here on the Island is the only job better than that of the old time Maytag repair man. They have to be bored out of their minds. If you want to vacation with thousands of other vacationers and to eat at the chain restaurants this is not for you. If you want tranquility and peacefulness with eighty degree weather and sunshine almost everyday this is your island. If you come once you'll be back. I am well traveled and retired from the US at age forty eight and I now live here full time on the Island. I could have moved anywhere but I wanted to live in true paradise and remove myself from the busy world out there. We call Cayman Brac detox from life. Many people come once and end up buying property before they leave. Come here and you'll see why.

What makes this house unique

If you see more then two other couples walking on the beach in front of the house in the course of a week that would be way more then normal. The Beach is private to the water line and all yours. Talk about you having the only footprints. The peace of the island will ground you and make you feel whole with the earth. It’s a simple and magical place in this crazy world.

PIRATE SONGS

5 of 5
Submitted: May 2, 2013 Stayed: April 2013
We have traveled to many islands and beach resorts and they are all unique. This one was no exception. The one thing that stood out most was how communal the whole island is. We could stay on the property and be perfectly content or venture out, drink Tortuga and Padron, and sing pirate songs with Henry and his fellow Brac-ers. If you want or need to get away, this is a great choice, especially from the States, even if you don't dive. If you do, it's at the top of any list. Easy in and easy out. Great local flair and very friendly all around. We highly recommend Henry's place, not only because it is self-contained with everything one could possibly want, but also because you feel like one of the gang by the time you've unpacked. Thanks much.

We stayed for 6 nights. We loved the place! It was the most truely relaxing week we've had on any vacation yet, however there was also plenty to do if we chose. The unit was very clean and spacious. The owner was very accomodating in thinking of everything to make your stay enjoyable. We had great people in the unit next to us. The people on the island were very friendly and we felt totally safe. We are looking forward to another stay..... longer next time. Thank you to Henry for sharing such a great secret.

Best Vacation Rental on Cayman Brac

5 of 5
Submitted: February 21, 2013 Stayed: December 2012
My family and friends (9 adults) stayed at Secluded Sunsets for 2 weeks (12/29 – 01/12). We had the entire house, all 3 apartments. It’s actually hard to say enough good things about Henry and his guest house. The location is fantastic. It sits right on the ocean in a very quiet upscale oceanfront neighborhood. The house has MORE than everything you need to enjoy your vacation. Lots of towels, clean linens, kitchens have cookware, utensils, dishware, etc. Lots of small appliances – our apartment even had a crockpot. The refrigerators with the door ice/water are fantastic. No concerns about safe drinking water!
You’ll find many items left by previous guests and supplied by Henry. (Nice especially if you’ve forgotten something.) Lots of spices, cooking oil, and some dry goods. Toilet paper, plastic bags/wrap, foil, shampoo, sunscreen, etc.

The 2 bedroom apartment is huge and the 1 bedroom apartments are large with plenty of space. The upstairs 1 bedroom is an open area design with a huge deck and big double doors and lots of windows. The downstairs 1 bedroom is large with separate living, kitchen/dining and bedroom with ensuite bath. All the apartments have front and rear/side exits. Super clean, very well maintained and nicely furnished.

The pool and yard area are fantastic. We used the pool as much as we did the house. It’s a great gathering area and the fresh water pool is a life saver after a long day of activities. Turn all the lights off at night while sitting around the pool. You won’t believe the stars. Awesome! We actually used the stone smoker and smoked a tuna we caught. It was excellent.
The ocean front palapa with the hammocks was another favorite spot. Just swinging and listening to the waves and watching the sunsets. I know why the house is called Secluded Sunsets. The view of the sun setting every night is awesome.

We followed all of Henry’s recommendations and we’re glad we did. We brought coolers with meat and on the flight in purchased duty free alcohol. Henry was also great at helping us with excursions and information. He really knows the island.

Henry was a fantastic host and a lot of fun. Thanks Henry for the absolute best accommodations on Cayman Brac.

I usually dont write any reviews however I seem to always read them. I just want to say this place is fantastic. Henry and Claire make sure you have everything you need to make your vacation one of the best. The accommodations are superb and the location is fantastic. The whole island people are friendly and accommodating. Henry sends loads of information to you and is never to far away if you need anything. The week we were there was amazing and relaxing the diving and snorkeling was suberb. I really don't want to let everyone know how amazing this place is a we just want to keep it to ourselves! If your thinking of going to Cayman Brac this place is for you! Thanks Henry!

The Anatomy of a Perfect Host

5 of 5
Submitted: January 31, 2013 Stayed: January 2013
I just departed from "Secluded Sunsets" for the third time; each time after a longer visit, and each time even more difficult to tear myself away.

Before I go any further, it would be amiss to not mention that I don't dive. And when I decided to flirt with snorkelling for the first time in years, Henry was eager to ensure that I was set up in the right spot with the right equipment. They say the Brac is a diver's paradise, and this is among the reasons why my scuba-diving parents return year after year. But if you're like me and breathing underwater seems against nature (being facetious, here), Secluded Sunsets/the Brac is nevertheless an idyllic getaway for anyone seeking sun, salt water, tranquility... and/or a roaring good time on the shoulders of a couple of bottomless glasses.

The accommodations themselves are pristine and provide all (and perhaps more) of the creature comforts many of us are accustomed to. No hotel or resort will allow you to luxuriate in a paradise that feels so remote and utopian, but also quite reassuringly like home. The property is immaculate and the furnishings exceed the mark. The pool that was built before my most recent visit has a stunning view of the water and is large enough to accommodate Henry's other guests (who are consistently lovely) without obligating sustained social engagement -- but also not too large as to overpower the rest of the breathtaking landscape.

Being a good host is so much about anticipation, and Henry has a remarkable knack for it; he is deeply alive to the needs and desires of his guests. This last trip, Henry went from hospital to heroic when he rescued me after my trip home was mis-booked. If you stay at Henry's you want for nothing -- and there is never any fuss about it because he's equally sensitive to his guests' interactive and social needs. When privacy is needed, privacy is had. If he suspects you might be inside taking a nap, whichever staple you were running low on might be found hanging discreetly outside the front door. Conversely, when you want to have jerk chicken and live music on the beach with your neighbours, Henry is also a wonderful social conductor -- and I strongly recommend inviting Henry and Claire to join you, as they are a joy to behold and unwind with. Your trip isn't complete unless you've had a good chat with one or both of them over drink on the terrace overlooking the sea.

Whatever ails you, a stay at Henry's is the cure-all! Just go!
