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”.

Everything needed for a relaxing time…

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..

Her willingness to share so much information helped us enjoy our time that much more. If we come back to the island, we will definitely try staying here again.

Amazing vacation!

Brac beach house could not have been more perfect for our family vacation. Two large bedrooms with king size beds, multiple dining arrangements including a table on the outdoor patio overlooking the ocean, and a fully stocked kitchen for meal preparation. Cayman Brac is the perfect destination to get away from the hustle and bustle and relax and read a book or do a puzzle. Rosanna helped us with every detail of our trip including Covid testing and contacts for fresh lobster for dinner. It was the perfect vacation!

Perfect house and host

This property is lovely...bright and clean inside, and an amazing view outside. Every room is perfectly laid out, and there is plenty of room. The host (Rosanna) sends tons of great information, and answers questions immediately. Cayman Brac is a very small, very quiet island. But if that is what you are looking for, you can't find a more ideal place to enjoy it than the Brac Beach House.

Rosanna and Larry have a beautiful house. My wife and I spent a week at BBH. We were met at the airport by the property manager and taken to the house. By the time we arrived I had received a text message from Rosanna. Over the course of the week she kept in touch just in case there was anything we needed. The property has everything needed for a fantastic week's vacatoin.

Outstanding Vacation Home

My husband and I enjoyed our week stay at the Brac Beach House in November. The house is well appointed, spacious, and the view of the sea from all rooms is incredible. Rosanna (host) provided detailed information regarding all aspects of the house and the island including restaurants, dive and snorkelling sites, grocery stores, caves, and more. We do not dive but if you do this island is definitely the place for you. Exploring different sites along the north and south roads was part of our daily routine. The island is small and quiet which made our vacation very relaxing. The Brac Beach House is simply outstanding!

The best!

We’ve been to Cayman Brac more than a dozen times and stayed in various beach front homes. This house is definitely on the top of our list! Beachfront of course, but also roomy, extra comfy couches and beds, a huge master shower, and a very spacious covered back porch. It is also the most well-stocked house we have ever stayed in anywhere. The kitchen, the laundry, and the bathrooms were so well stocked it truly felt like home. If we needed it, it was already there. Owner was very easy to reach and provided lots of useful home and island info. We will definitely be back to Brac Beach House!

Perfection in Paradise

Brac Beach House is ideally located steps from the water and at the end of a quiet street. This is our third stay at the house and the new owners are seriously committed to ensuring you have a superlative vacation. The house is well equipped; all amenities are at your disposal. Communication from Rosanna is practically instantaneous. She responds throughly and within a few hours. I definitely recommend the Brac Beach House to anyone wanting a luxuriously appointed house in a wonderful location.

Beautiful home with an excellent view!!!

We rent homes often and this is one of the nicest beach houses we have ever rented. We were met at the airport by a representative, taken to the house and given the key & instructions. Rosanna (owner) could not have been more accommodating. She answered all questions and gave suggestions, prior to our arrival. The house was extremely clean and well cared for, with attention to detail. I cannot say enough about this property or the Owners. You can dive from the shore plus they have a new kayak for use. We will definitely be back!

Christmas on The Brac

A setting to relax and have unhurried family time. The island was beautifully decorated for the holidays. Access to groceries was easy. Barracudas restaurant/bar was our favorite local eatery. If you are looking for quiet and slow this is definitely the place to come. We did not SCUBA, but we did snorkel everyday. There is very little life in the reefs close to shore. The waters were choppy there on the north side of the island. We did find some calmer waters on the south side.

Brac Island Life

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.

Beautiful house with incredible sea views!

Our family spent just returned from two weeks at the Brac Beach House. I'm still daydreaming about having my morning coffee on the veranda as the waves break against the shore just a few feet away. Brac Beach House is an amazing place to get away from it all. Aside from an occasional shore fisher down the beach or visits from some friendly neighborhood pups, the location at the end of the road was very private. It is one of the best maintained and outfitted homes we've rented in the Caribbean. We did not dive during our visit, but found plenty to do. Snorkeling and kayaking from the shore right in front of the house, caving all around the bluff, sightseeing..and relaxing. Rosanna is a fantastic owner and went out of her way to communicate before and throughout the visit to make sure all our questions were answered. We are definitely planning to return again soon!

Perfect setting!

We had a wonderful stay in this beautiful house! The house recently changed owners and we had initially booked our stay under the prior owners (formerly Lankford House). We chose this property because of the many positive reviews under the prior listing, and definitely made the right choice! The new owners are great and put us completely at ease about the change. Everything went very smoothly. The property manager met us at the airport, waited while we got our rental car, and then led us to the house to settle in. The house was as good or better in person than the pictures. It was clean, well maintained and well equipped. We did all our cooking at the house and only went out to eat once (to the Barracuda Bar, which had good pizza). The owners, Rosanna and Larry, were very helpful and extremely responsive. They provided lots of good information about activities on the island. We did a lot of hiking, exploring caves and the island in general. We snorkeled right in front of the house and saw many cool fish. We also spent a lot of time just relaxing and enjoying the beautiful front porch and gorgeous views. We would definitely return again and highly recommend this property!

Want for Nothing!

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!

Incredible scenery clear waters amazing location

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.

Spectacular home and views

We stayed @ the BBH for a week celebrating 25 years of marriage. We have rented many vacation homes over the years & this is one of the best. The home is spectacular with awesome views & very private. You can't even see the homes on either side & we rarely saw other humans. The only visitors we had were a very friendly puppy, a skittish, but playful kitten, some geckos & some doves. The owners even have some cracked corn to feed the birds which I enjoy doing @ home. The home is very well equipped & we had everything we needed to cook our meals. We found that we preferred the view & comfort right at the home and with the variety of spices, pots & pans & utensils it was an easy decision to stay in for dinner. The water was rough while we were there & we did not kayak or snorkel, but we had many wonderful hiking adventures & interesting experiences w/the locals. We ventured out early enough & drove to the end of the bluff for a stunning sunrise & incredible views. While much of the terrain is rough, we enjoyed the change & were always thrilled that we ventured out & pushed on as far as we could possibly go. We loved seeing the nesting boobys on our many hikes & really enjoyed watching the parrots in the preserve. There was a group of them that kept us entertained for quite a while & we captured some great video & stills. We generally ventured out early & then returned to the BBH to spend the afternoons & evenings on the enormous porch overlooking the sea. Every day was peaceful & we felt like we had our own private island. We hope to venture back again one day & if we do we will be sure to stay here again.

If you like the pics ….

If you liked the pictures you will love the house. Unlike some houses online, this home is every bit as beautiful as the posted pictures. We visited the island for a month. Most people go to the Brac for the fantastic dives. We however, are many, many decades old and just wanted to relax, enjoy the island, and perhaps eat some different foods. Many evenings we just savored the gorgeous sunsets from the porch, with a drink in hand. The yard leads right to the crystal clear waters of the Caribbean with cute little curly tailed lizards scampering everywhere. You will probably see an iguana and maybe a few parrots if you go to the reserve. If you are looking for a big night life scene, this probably isn’t the place for you. However, whether a swimmer, snorkeler, fisher, diver … or just enjoy nature, this might be a nice match. There are a plethora of caves to explore and some little museums from a local artist’s interesting flashback to the sixties, to a small history museum. There is no signage, but it has some relics from the past and stories related to the great hurricane of 1932. There are a surprising number of restaurants available from an upscale “farm to table” one to basically island diners. Aside from the usual island fare, everything from horse hoof to pig’s tail with beans could be found on the menu. Chicken feet were also available. By the time we left I was hooked on the local bakery’s, “only on Tuesdays”, cinnamon rolls. We missed a big turtle release, but did take in the crab races. The house itself furnished us a beautiful home base with all the necessities from a washer dryer to good wifi service. There are 2 master suites and a fully equipped, modern kitchen. A 54 ft. porch overlooking the Caribbean across the front of the house. I spent many hours there in the hammock or chaise lounges, with book in hand, watching the waves roll to shore. There is a nice platform to swim or snorkel from behind the house, but you will need shoes or diving boots due to coral, rocks and sea urchins. The owners could not be more accommodating and kept us posted on island events the whole time we were there. The location is nice, mid island, between the west end shopping and east end light house. Food is barged in once a week, usually Wednesdays, so if you are staying a while you might want to take that into consideration. All and all if you want to slow down, enjoy the place with nary a neighbor in sight, this may be the place for you.

Clean, well stocked house and Ohhh, the VIEW!

My husband and I visited Cayman Brac and stayed in Brac Beach House for 1 week of the 2 weeks we were there. Cayman Brac was exactly what we were looking for. Quiet, safe, kicked back. Most of all, we went to explore a new area and try out the shore diving. We made ourselves home in this beautiful house for a week. For the things we wanted to do, it was necessary to have a car. Driving was easy and car reasonable $. The location of this house was about a 10 min drive to get tanks, close to grocery stores, hiking, the bluff and right next to one best of the most beautiful reefs I have seen (darn, I didn't want to tell, but it would be wrong to keep it a secret). Since the winds were high, we were only able to shore dive from the house just once, but really what a treat!! If you plan to go into the water (anywhere on the island) please have really good sole shoes. I had dive booties, but next time will buy ones with more protection just for Cayman Brac. With the strong surf, the iron shore those urchins are hard to maneuver with gear on and can poke right through softer soles. Most of the shore dives were a decent surface swim out to the wall but worth the effort! Navigation easy, but take markers. Due to the winds, we also opted for boat dives with Brac Scuba Shack which was also top notch. The kitchen was well stocked with basics. We had many meals at the house as the restaurants were only fair for us. There were plenty of dishes, pans, utensils, basic spices, paper products, soap and first aid kit. Washer/dryer and dishwasher all came in handy, making the week a breeze. We are not cooks, but we found ourselves wanting to cook and enjoy the property, vs eating out. Everything felt very clean and fresh, thank you!! The mattress in the master bedroom was very comfortable. Did I mention the view?... its magnificent! There are not many places in the world that you can get an ocean front house for the price. There was a book and good information on hiking, caving and shore diving. If you are looking to shore dive, there is good information there, so spare yourself from having to do a lot of homework before. Overall, we had a great time and look forward to visiting again. I exchanged a few texts with the owner and property manager and I can say I was impressed. They were easy to get in touch with and they genuinely care about their guests! I hope you enjoy it as much as we did!
