Ft, one bedroom ocean view cottage features an open floor plan enabling you to interact with others easily. the Cottage is sharing the property with another 2 bedroom Main house "Escape from Reality".

They range in size from baseball size hermits to tip of your pinky sized ones. There is a shared full sized laundry on the property. The house is located just 90 feet from the ocean with 85' of shoreline. The beach is rocky, so water shoes are a must!

Very much enjoyed our three nights on Cayman Brac. Lovely, well-appointed 1 BR cottage with a view of the ocean. We had hoped to snorkel during our stay, but the water was unfortunately too rough. Instead, we explored the island, with great views and interesting caves. Definitely recommend a car to see the island, and would book ahead if we come back. We lucked out when Vanessa, a local taxi driver was able to arrange a private rental for us - all of the agencies were out of cars due to a funeral. We had tried reaching out to the property manager, Liesel by phone before arriving with questions, but did not receive a response to our voicemail and inquiries.

Amazing and peaceful sanctuary
I had an amazing time at Shawn and Jeff's peaceful house. The view to the ocean is a huge bonus and makes for a very tranquil location. Shawn is extremely diligent at responding and helping out with car rentals, answering questions and helping in any way possible to make for a better vacation. I already look forward to my next stay here! Thank you both very much.

Relaxing Getaway for Two
Our recent stay at the cottage was such a great experience and the cottage offered everything we needed for our visit from a fully stocked kitchen to beautiful landscaping and peaceful nights under thousands of stars. We thoroughly enjoyed exploring the island (we live in Grand Cayman but Cayman Brac is such a nice contrast to the hustle and bustle of “city life”). Shawn was even kind enough to help arrange our rental car and beach side massages for the two of us for a perfect Valentine’s getaway. We can’t wait to come back!

Great place to experience the Brac
This was a snorkeling trip. “Escape” was a great base of operations. Clean, comfortable, and QUIET!!! For the most part, the only noise we heard was the surf. What could be better?

A wonderful cottage, wish we could stay longer!
This was an amazing place to stay. So beautiful, and convenient to everything on the island, and right on the water, so the surf was always lovely to see and hear.
Our hosts laid in every essential for our stay, from extra towels for the beach and around the house, to a few baggies and Tupperware for our extra foodstuffs. They had everything we needed for cooking. The bed was very comfortable and shower was big and fabulous.
There was an outside sink to rinse wet suits, etc. And even a nice spot to hang them to dry! Also, there was an outside shower to rinse off the saltwater. The place was immaculate, bright, and wonderful.
This was the best vacation home I've ever stayed at. We did have a few minor miscommunications before we arrived. But the owner was always available and answered questions right away, so that was no problem. I can't recommend this place highly enough.

Great time in Cayman Brac!
My wife and I had a wonderful time in your lovely vacation rental. It was a very peaceful and relaxing place. We agree with everyone that Star Island restaurant is the place to eat at.

A Quiet, Well-Maintained Refuge
I went to the Brac not for recreation, but to assist with a family member's care and home repairs, so being able to return to this calm, clean environment was very important. I used one of the available bikes as my main transportation, and I could get to restaurants, liquor stores(!), and a food market without too much effort. Be aware that the cell phone provided may need to have more money added, and that the Netflix availability was problematic. The laundry room was very handy, and all mechanical systems worked well. Excellent value, great location, great condition.

The pictures do not do this property justice! Charming, comfortable, and sooo relaxing!
What a great experience! The property was perfect, the Marstellars were available by phone for any and all questions, as was Patty once we got onto the island. Can't recommend enough!

a delightful and well situated and furnished cottage
the cottage sits behind a larger house, the patio outside of kitchen has a lovely double chase facing the ocean! there is a hammock within yards of the ocean. there is a hanging cushioned double swing on the deeply covered front porch. several resting and sit-spots make this cottage a special deal. thank you for your hospitality and the help you extended us!

Home away from home
It was our home away from home for 10 days. It has everything we needed, beach towels, chairs and a cooler. It was too windy to snorkel in front of the house so we spent a majority or our time swimming and snorkeling at Scott’s dock. That’s where the best fish are. Don’t forget to feed the crabs. We set out a saucer with water and a separate plate with peanut butter and or small pieces of apple. They ad a crab party every night. It’s fun to watch them. Enjoy! We will be back. We love this quiet peaceful safe island. The house is very comfortable.

a nice retreat
We stayed in the big house and in the small house. It was clean and quiet, not too far away from anything. I recommend it.

Very nice little cottage house!
Clean and well kept, had everything we would need. Owners were great at communicating. Lovely to wake up and look out at the ocean each day! Had a great stay on The Brac!

Delightful!
We completely enjoyed our visit to Cayman Brac, and Ocean Retreat is everything that's advertised - except better. It's hard to describe the views, which were lovely. We found the cottage perfect for us in every way and the owners were wonderful hosts, promptly answering every little question prior to our visit and checking in with us after we arrived. The house was clean and had everything we might need - even beach chairs and a cooler. I'm pretty picky when it comes to bedding and linens, but the bed was very comfy and there were plenty of nice towels. The washer and dryer was convenient too. Everything was great - simply the best! We loved it there and hope to return soon.

perfect place to get away!
We loved this darling little house - listening to the ocean, sitting on the front porch swing, and being close to things but not too close. The amenities are great, the owners and property manager took very good care of us. If you want to spend some time completely away from our day-to-day life, getting to Cayman Brac is worth it, and this is a bungalow we'll come back to next year!

Great location. Reasonable price
My wife and I really enjoyed our honeymoon cottage on Cayman Brac. Peaceful. Marstellars are wonderful hosts. This is my second stay with them. Brac is a fabulous dive location. Everything cost less on Brac. Brac Dive Shack is a great dive operator. We found everything we needed at the local grocery. Dining out at Star Island was super. We will be back to Brac.

Super cute with nice owners!
This was out first trip to Cayman Brac and we enjoyed our stay at the Ocean Retreat. The cottage is set up cute and perfect for 2 people. We had some hiccups when we first got to the cottage, but Shawn and Jeff were very hands on (via phone) to help us sort it out. I didn't give this house a 5 because of the problems we had : tripped electrical breakers and no idea where to find them and therefore lights and fridge not working, not as clean as we would have hoped, shower in need of updating, bikes not tuned up and flat tires with ineffectual pump (and a few hours fixing this), and limited outdoor shade. BUT, I didn't give this a 3 because Shawn and Jeff were very attentive from a distance and very upset that the management people hadn't performed to their standards. Once we got straightened out, our stay was very enjoyable. We were able to ride the bikes to the dive shop and restaurants and enjoyed staying right on the beach. If we did it again, we'd likely stay in the 2 bedroom main house, we thought it was MUCH nicer and not that more expensive.

Perfect for one or two in an ideal location.
There is little we can add to earlier reviews as we concur with all of the positive comments. Yes, Ocean Retreat is exactly as described and as it appears in the photos including the accurate description of the top quality mattress, linens and towels. We spent a most comfortable five weeks in this lovely cottage. The movement of the sun dictated ours: bench swing on the porch until 2:30-ish, then again after nightfall; lounge chairs on the sea-facing patio, 5:00-ish, watching the waves, Brown Boobies, Man-o-War (Frigates) and White-tailed Tropic birds.
We were very pleased with the bbq grill which worked well. Beach chairs were easy to carry for walking to the Public Beach and though we didn't use it, a beach mat is available as is a small cooler that's a perfect size for packing a picnic (or bringing back some of Barry's Golden Jerk Chicken). The public beach is a good entry point for a shore dive but is not what we think of as a swimming beach. When we did go in to get wet we gave the small southern ray the right of way. Even if not planning to snorkel it might be good to take a mask to see what you are going in over - and do the stingray shuffle!
Going beyond others' comments about the kitchen, with which we agree, we very much appreciated the availability of potable water, the Rubbermaid containers and, unusual in a rental, the good kitchen and door mats. The former for comfort while preparing meals, doing dishes, the latter for keeping most of the fine gravel outside. Great attention to detail on the part of the owners! Shawn was in touch personally during our stay making sure everything was okay. Both she and the property manager, Patty, were prompt in dealing with any concerns.
The location is excellent; walk to the beach, Rebecca's Cave and beyond; cycle (or drive) to grocery stores, to the southwest tip for bird watching and Little Cayman gazing, to the Bat Cave. (BTW drivers are very courteous to cyclists.) Even indoors there is sight and sound of the sea through the glass and screened patio door. Having previously stayed on the North Shore we found the South Shore much quieter in terms of traffic. Until the bushes grow up you may be aware of people in the neighbouring property enjoying their shore-side swimming pool: happy noise. What more could you want?
We certainly recommend Ocean Retreat as an excellent choice for visitors to Cayman Brac.
