Here's Wikipedia's link that describes Cayman Brac in detail. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cayman_Brac Cayman Brac From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia "Cayman Brac is an island that is part of the Cayman Islands. It lies in the Caribbean Sea about 145 km (90 mi) north-east of Grand Cayman and 8 km (5.0 mi) east of Little Cayman. It is about 19 km (12 mi) long, with an average width of 2 km (1.2 mi). Its terrain is the most prominent of the three Cayman Islands due to "The Bluff", a limestone outcrop that rises steadily along the length of the island up to 43 m (141 ft) above sea level at the eastern end. The island is named after this prominent feature, as "brac" is a Gaelic name for a bluff. The Teignmouth Electron, the boat in which Donald Crowhurst attempted to sail round the world single-handed in the Sunday Times Golden Globe Race, has been left to decay on the south coast of Cayman Brac. Christopher Columbus sighted Cayman Brac and its sister island, Little Cayman, on 10 May 1503 when his ship was blown off course during a trip between Hispaniola and Panama. He named them "Las Tortugas" because of the many turtles he spotted on the islands. The Cayman Islands were renamed by Sir Francis Drake, who came upon the islands during a voyage in 1586. He used the word "Caymanas", taken from the Carib name for crocodiles after seeing many of the large crocodilians. Many people believe he had only seen the Rock Iguanas that inhabit the island today.[citation needed] During the heyday of piracy, pirates would use Cayman Brac as a haven and a place to replenish their supplies as there are a number of fresh water wells on the island and had many sources of food included in the local flora and fauna. "Diving: Of interest to scuba divers is a 100 m (330 ft) Russian Koni class frigate built in the Soviet Union in 1984 for the Cuban Navy. It is one of only a few sunken Soviet naval vessels in the Western Hemisphere, and the only one that is easily dived. The Koni II class frigate was purchased and sunk by the Cayman Islands government in September 1996. Originally designated 356, the frigate was rechristened the M/V Captain Keith Tibbetts, after a well-known Cayman Brac politician. The wreck is the only Russian warship that divers can explore in the Western hemisphere.[1] It originally sat upright at a depth of 27 m (89 ft) [2] with the deck at 18 m (59 ft), until wave action generated by a winter Norwester storm (December 1998-January 1999)[3] which nearly tore the ship in two. The result was that the fore section tipped to about a 45 degree angle in relation to the remainder of the still-upright aft portion.[4] and the midships became a debris field. The wreck's stern area was essentially unaffected. The frigate is located in a sandy area with generally good visibility, 200 m (660 ft) offshore (a fairly long swim) from 'Buccaneer', on the island's north side, near the western tip of the island. There are numerous openings in the upper portion of the ship for non-wreck certified divers. Many more openings are available since the ship broke in half. The site also serves as an artificial reef. Other interesting dive sites are Radar Reef, Cemetery Wall, and the Wilderness Wall,[5] all well covered in corals and with a wide diversity of marine life. Caves Cayman Brac also appeals to visitors of many persuasions besides divers. Caves are found around the island, offering spelunkers a glimpse of delicate underground formations. Steps and, in some cases, ladders have been constructed to allow visitor access to more remote caves. One cave, Rebecca's Cave, contains the grave of a young girl lost in a struggle against the ravages of the great 1932 Cuba hurricane." Rock climbing Rock climbing was developed beginning in 1992 and the island now contains about 100 sport climbs. Walking and Hiking trails Walking and hiking trails have been opened by the Nature Tourism Program which allow exploration of the island's dense Karst forestation. Unique flora and fauna thrive here and can be observed in the wild. Fishing Cayman Brac's waters are especially utilized for both fishing and the pursuit of big game fish”.

Clean and roomy. Quiet area with great sea views, the photos are accurate. This our 5th trip to Cayman Brac, with more to come. Brac Beach House will always be our first choice if available 😃

Rosanna was the perfect host in every way imaginable. The property exceeded our expectations as did the island itself. If I could give more than 5 Stars, I would! The only complaint was that we weren’t able to stay longer than we did to enjoy the sunsets, sunrises, venturing into the water, and relaxing with a gorgeous view from everywhere in and around the house! We couldn’t have been happier with our entire visit to Cayman Brac and the Brac Beach House.

Just returned from an awesome stay at Beach House. My wife and I were looking for a quiet place to relax and listen to the ocean, away from it all, and this house delivered wonderfully. The house was clean, well maintained, private and has a magnificent porch for taking in the ocean, rain or shine. We made use of the well stocked kitchen, as we enjoyed purchasing groceries at the island market and generally preparing our own meals. We brought our own water shoes and snorkeling gear, but we aren't the particularly adventurous sort, so we just waded into the ocean from the shore (which is right there!), and enjoyed viewing the sea creatures in shallower depths. Still spotted a ray, some squid and a myriad of fish! As others have mentioned, this location is not a sandy beach, so plan accordingly. The host was very thoughtful and responsive, and will definitely assist with questions and suggestions. But the house had everything we needed and then some! Some of the other things we enjoyed on the island were Sushi Tuesday at Barracuda's, hiking the island trails, getting fresh bread from the local bakery and fresh produce from the farm market. Every evening we were back at the house, though, soaking in those ocean sunsets. Definitely can't recommend this house enough, and definitely would return.

This was the first time my husband and I had a vacation in 7 years. I travel the world for a living and often go to incredible places. This house did not disappoint. I think that Beach Brac House worked for us because of so many reasons. Aside from its proximity to the water and access to the pier, the property was also well located, had ample car parking and was quiet. I think that these are the main factors I look for when staying somewhere because there's nothing worse than not being able to sleep or relax when going on a vacation. Aside from the above mentioned, the house itself it's well equipped. There are so many little touches that made such a difference. For example having snorkeling gear and the outdoor shower as well as a place to hang set gear was incredibly handy especially coming out from the water. I think that one of the biggest thing that won me over was the laundry. A simple piece of equipment means a lot. Not having to go somewhere to wash and dry clothes made so a difference to my mind set. I could just unwind and relax and not have to worry about the mundane day-to-day things. Lastly it was nice to get frequent communication from Rosanna with ideas of what to do. It's like having your own concierge service. Overall we had a good stay, no complaints or issues. I highly recommend this property.

We enjoyed the relaxing nature of the house and island… if you are looking to dive, snorkel, hike, and relax by the ocean, Brac Beach House was wonderful… the house is just as pictured, secluded, and stocked with everything you could need, from first aid kit, spices, pots/pans, storage containers, beach towels, grocery bags, and a cooler. The owners are great about recommending activities and dining options… perfect off the beaten path vacation..

Wow! Where do I start? Rosanna & Larry's property is spectacular! Beautifully kept and furnished and right on the ocean. What more could we ask for? Well, we didn't have to ask for anything. From the time we booked and all through our trip, Rosanna provided us with all the information we needed for a trip to Cayman Brac: info on diving and snorkeling, where to get groceries, best places to eat (where and when), maps, rental cars, and the list goes on! And then, when we arrived at Brac Beach House, we were suitably impressed with how the house was outfitted. A typical VRBO rental has the requisite dishes, kitchen wares and towels, but at Brac Beach House – there was so much more! Yoga mats, snorkels and fins dishes and cutlery galore, beach towels, flashlights, sunscreen, hand sanitizer, binoculars and more. Too many things to list here. Suffice it to say, you will want for nothing! Rosanna was also very responsive to our needs. We had a medical issue that required a doctor’s visit and she was in touch with us all the way. She took a huge burden off our shoulders and I cannot thank her enough. If you’re looking for a place to stay in Cayman Brac, look no further!

Brac Beach House is everything that our two couples could hope for in Cayman Brac. Wonderful location, impeccable appointments and kitchen accoutrements, incredibly clean and comfortable. The Beach House would work well for two couples and children also- plenty of room. Wonderful!

The property is a well built user friendly property. One can easily waste the day away on the lovely and spacious veranda overlooking the ocean as the waves lap at the shore. Comfortable King size beds provide and easy nights sleep. The home is located in a quiet area and well located to grocery stores, restaurants and “The Bakery”. A few lizards and the hermit crabs provided critters for the youngsters to enjoy watching. The house is located at and near great snorkel and dive sites. We received plenty of information about the home and the island before arriving but the available information in the home made finding anything on the island extremely easy. Staying here was a good decision and will be an easier one in the future. We look forward to a future visit.
