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 of the world. 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.

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

Stores are closed on Sunday. If your arrival is after 7:00 pm on Saturday or on Sunday we'll do your grocery shopping for you - just send us a list, there is no charge for our time.

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 for pleasure use (not as primary transportation) come with the property rental. You can also use the kayaks, snorkeling gear ($50/week) and more. If the bikes are your primary transportation, if available for that, we will charge you.

There is a full spa, and a full fitness room just minutes away. Inexpensive maid service may also available.

Sunset Cottage is a great way to enjoy the Brac
Cayman Brac is a bit off the beaten path, but has first world services. The cottage is very well appointed with the kitchen having all the necessities. Beds are comfortable. Water is safe. The community of Cayman Brac is very friendly. Car rental was mostly painless, but reasonably priced. The screened in porch is a huge bonus to this cottage. Although we didn't think there were many bugs, the porch gave a sense of security and shade that few other properties had. That said, it was sometimes quite hot, even in the shade. Late most afternoons the humidity seemed to drop off and make it more comfortable. The snorkelling off the shore was excellent, particularly 150 yards to the east. Getting in and out of the water was a bit tricky and dive booties were required. We were there almost three weeks and would go again. One negative was the absense of network TV, but the internet was fast enough to get the news otherwise.

Gem of a cottage right on the beach!
Lovely beach filled with shells was 50 feet from a large screened porch! Bedrooms have view of the ocean! Decor was bright and whimsical; location was great. Island is small enough to bike anywhere and the snorkeling is wonderful - in so many places! Henry is a very accommodating host. The island is safe, people are so friendly, and we would certainly return to this cottage. And, caymanite is the native stone and only found on these islands! Go and explore!

Caribbean getaway!
Wonderful venue on a beautiful island. We loved snorkeling, exploring the caves, and lazy sunsets. Highly recommended. The property is 100ft from the sea; the Caribbean is your backyard. We love the Brac!

Retirement/New Years/BDay
Wife & I spent 14 days in Sunset Cottage relaxing, 2 bedrooms 2 full bath sleeps 4-6 people easy. The screened patio is nice we did have a short period mosquitos after the rain. Henry had it stocked with everything you need, the water right out of faucet was great along with counter top ice maker, that was a blessing not to have to buy. Henry and crew were keeping grounds clean almost daily of fallen coconuts and palms. Plenty of chairs, lounge chairs and hammocks, bikes and snorkle gear were awsum. Location was great, we could take car or ride bicycle just up the road to eat, grab groceries or hang out at Scotts Dock, stop and visit with Barry and pick up some BBQ. Thanks Henry

About the host

Hosted by Henry Barbera

Host profile image
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 three properties one on the south side and I am renting the two 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.

Why they chose this property

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. This property is in a great central location nearby to all the activities, stores, restaurants, and the best public swim area on the island which is just 400 yards away.

What makes this property unique

If you see more then two other couples walking on the beach in front of the house in the course of a day 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. Hammocks and loungers provided - byob. For the swimmers / snorkelers / scuba divers I have an outside shower, a fresh water rinse tank. Charter fishing available Caving available Rock Climbing available. Book Library - 400 books
