Loved this place! Is very quiet and has everything you need to relax and enjoy. Place is on the beach with Kayaks and amazing snorkeling right out the back door. Henry & Sasha are very inviting and accommodating. We will be back

We had a wonderful five days as this fabulous spot. Henry and Sasha were very welcoming and the house had everything we needed. The location is truly spectacular with a constant breeze from the sea and plenty of places to sit outside. It’s also close to a supermarket and restaurants. We loved Captain’s Table and Le Soleil d’Or. This was a great place to be based to explore the island and Henry helped with a car rental from 4D’s. We all loved it and hope to return.

Our group consisted of rock climbers, scuba divers and snorkelers. Stayed here 1/15 - 1/21/23. Secluded Sunsets was great. There are actually (3) separate dwellings on the same property, we stayed in the largest one. People on the island know Henry (owner), Henry can help with whatever you need to know about the island. Great location, close to everything except the rock climbing. Great place to stay on Brac

We came to scuba dive and climb as a family. Location is perfect for Brac Scuba Shack. Henry was very responsive and helpful in renting a car and making recommendations for the area. Sasha bought groceries for us so the kitchen was stocked. They both checked in on us. The location is quiet. Perfect get away from crowds and noise. Ocean is the backyard. The pool and hammocks are shared with a connected suite. I cooked every evening except one. The kitchen has all you would need. One of our favorite family vacations!

This was our second week and we moved from Henry's 1BDR to his 2 BDR to accommodate them. In previous reviews I have stated how WONDERFUL this place is!!! Henry NEVER fails us! My husband's parents were also truly impressed with the beauty of Henry's place, the tranquility, the perfect Sunsets, the well stocked kitchen and refrigerator and with how Henry runs his rental property just in general. Henry will not ever lead you astray. He is honest and always aims to please. You can trust him!!!

2/10

Constant surveillance and intrusion from the host and his girlfriend living in the adjoining property. Turns up unannounced smoking from our sun loungers, diving with his friends from our property. The washing machine was inspected daily to see if we were utilising a full wash, blamed for causing damage to his pool that was already there. Doors on property wouldn’t lock, informed on Day 1, never fixed, we were told they don’t need to be locked. The host is paranoid about how much the electricity and water is costing him, then finally evicted us on the last day, after breaking a house rule he has invented. Constant harassment and threatened with the police. When I remained unconcerned about the police he decided to follow us around the island. Creepy!

We rented Secluded Sunsets for two weeks for a mid-winter get away from the cold and snow of New England. It was everything we were looking for. Even before coming to The Brac, Henry prepared us with lots of information to prepare us for the best vacation. Sasha, Henry's assistant, greeted us at the airport, drove us to the house, and gave a brief overview to help settle us in since we arrived after 8:00 pm. She returned the next day and was a wealth of information of dive sites, restaurants, shopping, caves and just about everything else that is on the island. It was nice that she checked in most days to be sure we had everything we needed. The house had everything we needed. We had brought quite a bit of food with us, but took advantage of dinners at the Captain's Table and the Buccaneer. Thank's to Sasha, we also found the Pioneer Bakery, which we went to just about every day! The house was set up with everything we needed for our meals, and enjoyment. The pool, shaded deck, hammocks, and bicycles were what we were looking for to enjoy the warm sun. Snorkling out front was great, although we were hit with high winds and could not snorkle there as much as we wanted. We were able to find wonderful sites throughout the island that exceeded our expectations. The special treats of Sasha's wine and cheese sunset cruise and the dinner she prepared for us were wonderful!! The Brac is friendly, clean and very welcoming. We will definitely be returning next year!

My husband, our 4 year old boy and I stayed at Henry's two-bedroom unit over Thanksgiving. It was the best Thanksgiving we have ever had! We knew what to expect because we had stayed in the one-bedroom unit 6 months ago and Henry didn't let us down. If you have never been to Cayman Brac then you need to know it has the best diving/wall diving in the carribean. If you are looking for the best place to stay on Cayman Brac then you don't need to look any further than Henry's place. Anything Henry advertises is true! He will definitely take care of anything you need. He has gone out of his way for us SEVERAL times. The kitchen is completely stocked with kitchen gadgets and he has spices, oils, bread, butter, eggs, beer, coke, etc... already in the refrigerator for you. There are a huge book of DVD's and library of books to read. He has a utility room full of snorkel gear, life vests, hard booties, scooters etc... basically if you want something and he doesn't have it he will try his best to get it for you. He has his back porch set up for divers. There is a place to hang your wet suits and BC's and also a fresh water dunking tank. There is also a fresh water shower. Henry's house sets on a nice sandy beach... that might sound strange but there are not many beaches on the island. Lots of iron shore. The two-bedroom unit is exactly as it appears in the pictures on the VRBO website. IT IS BEAUTIFUL! The master bedroom has a BATHTUB and shower in the bathroom. The second bedroom has a bathroom right outside the bedroom with a shower. We did all shore diving... plenty of places to shore dive on Cayman Brac, I just have to mention the Cayman Brac Daycare... For $10 day you can have your child enrolled. The age cut off is 8 and you have to take a trip to the public health nurse for a clearance physical but it is so worth it. We put our Sam in from 7:30-5:30p for four of the days that we were there and we knocked out alot of dives together... something that we rarely get to do! This is something that you want to notify the school ahead of time but nothing more that a quick email to the school. It is cleaner than any daycare I have seen in the US. Sam loved it too! We hired the cooking musicians also when we were there... this is a great time... if you like listening to live music by the ocean while eating jerk chicken then you should ask Heny about this. We invited all the friends we met while on the island. We want to stay there forever!!!

We really enjoyed our stay. The house was located on a nice stretch of beach. We watched sunset most every night. House was very spacious and kept up nice. Some minor issues with the stove but Daniel ( local handyman) was there quickly to check it out. It was well equipped with a lot of kitchen cooking items. Close to the airport, liquor store and Grocery store

Three couples stayed a week. This property had everything you could possible need -- fully stocked kitchen, beach towels, water toys, even laundry detergent for the washing machine! The pool and cabana down by the beach was excellent as well. Would definitely stay here again and recommend.

We enjoyed everything about our first trip to Cayman Brac, especially the beautiful setting of Secluded Sunsets. The accommodations were excellent! We spent leisurely days exploring the island, snorkeling right off our beach, cooling off in the pool, riding bikes, and tasting the local cuisine. After dark the stars were amazing. Our friendly neighbors the week of April 6th made our trip even more fun! We also met several locals who were happy to tell us about island life. We all agreed this was the perfect island getaway for us and would definitely go back! Thank you Henry and Sasha for your hospitality.

Typically we head west to go skiing as a family every winter. This year we went south. Best decision EVER! Sasha was fabulous, the house was perfect, the snorkeling was great, and a good time was had by all! We highly recommend this for anyone looking to get away from the hustle and bustle and just sit back and relax.

We really enjoyed our stay at Secluded Sunsets! While the beach is rocky getting in, some of the best snorkeling lies right in front of the house. There is a fun pool to enjoy along with kayaks, bikes, and stand-up paddle boards to use. We loved the croquet with coconuts. It is a great place for the price and offers a lot to do. The interior accommodations were very nice and we were very happy with our stay. We will certainly be back!

The pictures are right on! Our family of 5 stayed over the week of Christmas. We rented a car for the week and toured the island. The caves were very neat to explore with the kids. It was a bit windy so we were not able to take out the kayaks. We did get to snorkel a few of the places on the island though later in the week. We enjoyed playing coconut croquet and swimming in the pool. Sasha was great! She met us at the airport and we followed her back to the house. She then pointed us to the local store to pick up a few groceries, and then to the Captain's Table for supper. She stopped throughout the week and made sure we had everything we needed. Barracuda's is a great place for pizza! Also don't forget to stop for jerk chicken at Barry's. The fish dinners at Coral Isle Club were delicious too. There is not much open on Cayman Brac on Christmas or the day after, but Reef Divers does offer lunch and dinner buffets. You can also order other food off the menu. The local people are very nice and it is a safe island.

This property was great. Highly recommended. Very large. Nice amenities, well kept and great service. Property rep met us at airport and escorted us to the property, providing a walkthrough of the property. Ocean side pool area was amazing. Property is private and quiet. The snorkeling directly off the shore is among the best we’ve experienced in the Caribean, endless coral and sea life. Better shore snorkeling than Grand Cayman. Short drive from grocery store, airport and restaurants. Island is amazing with beaches, caves and snorkeling. Recommend renting a car. Traffic is non-existent, making driving a breeze.

This is our second time staying at Henry's place. We do not get to take vacations often but would always choose Secluded Sunsets as our time to get away for complete relaxation. Henry and Sasha are there to make you feel like a star with the exceptional service. They provide so many little extras that make the trip so special. Thanks for a great time once again!

We are two couples that rented the two bedroom unit for two weeks for a midwinter getaway. The owner, Henry, was very easy to work with and prepared us ahead of arrival for a great first stay on Cayman Brac. He arranged for our rental car so that it was waiting for us on arrival and his assistant, Sasha, was also at the airport to greet us and escort us to the property. Sasha is a gem and a wealth of information about the island. She checked in on us almost everyday to see if we needed anything, arranged a wonderful complimentary sunset boat ride and also cooked a delicious meal for us. She recommended restaurants and activities and gave excellent directions to all. She is a lovely person and we really enjoyed her company. The house had everything that we needed for a relaxing vacation. The pool is solar heated and Sasha does a great job taking care of it. The two bedroom unit is spacious and well maintained. The island itself has many beautiful dive and snorkel sites and many of them have clean showers and rest rooms, which was a nice surprise. Our favorite restaurant was Captain's Table and our waiter Casey was great. Be sure to go to Pioneer Bakery for fabulous fresh bread, rolls and meat pies. All and all, we had a wonderful vacation, and we hope to be back at Secluded Sunsets again.

I was looking for a quiet retreat and that's exactly what I got. The house was supplied perfectly and the Catetaker made sure we had everything we needed for our stay in Cayman Brac. If there's anything you need, just ask- they're more than willing to help your stay be the best ever. I loved every element of the house - and now I'd like to bring my sisters with me for another visit very soon.
