About this property

Stylish & Relaxed, Original Oceanfront Beach House - "The Bach"

Welcome to our lovingly restored, rustic and relaxing Caribbean beach house. At home in New Zealand, we call this a 'bach' (pronounced 'batch'). Located on the South East Side of Cayman Brac, this unique home will provide the sanctuary you need after a day of diving, snorkelling, walking or exploring ... or will simply be a relaxing place to unwind with a good book and a cocktail.

This property is a TRUE beach house - open living, a large outdoor deck with swimming pool; your choice of sun or shade, a landscaped beachfront, & separate areas that deliver privacy, as well as lots of good collective space. And whilst we don't have immediate water access - like almost all of the Brac, our quiet part of this special island is on a reef and therefore has an iron shore - the public beach is only a 10 min. drive away (and usually empty), and the local "Buccaneers" rock pool for safe & easy swimming & snorkelling is only 15 mins. away ... well worth the effort.

Cayman Brac is stunning, in a laid-back way, and our home, with it's open plan living, simple yet modern furniture and clean lines, will welcome travellers from far and wide to it's unique beauty.

Please note - the home sleeps a maximum of 6 adults and 2 children. Exceptions will be made, but need to be discussed with owner prior to booking.

Wonderful relaxed family trip!
Melissa’s home was beyond amazing! And six adults, and one child were comfortably accommodated for 4 nights 5 days!! This home could easily sleep 10 people comfortably!!! This is my first stay in Cayman Brac using a Vrbo as my family home was on the island but hasn’t sold. That said, I felt very at home and everything was very easy from start to finish!!!! TY Melissa and family! Special thanks to Liesel for being there for us every step of the way!!!

Great retreat from everyday life!
This is a wonderful place to stay if you desire to get away from the hustle and bustle of life. Sitting on the deck staring at the ocean will calm any soul. The property owner and property manager are both terrific and very attentive. We enjoyed our stay and will definitely contact them in future!

Away from the crowds
We wanted to stay somewhere away from the crowds and this was great.... ocean-front location, loved the deck & pool. Not luxury but clean, well-supplied kitchen, plenty of beach towels, etc. Property mgr, Liesel, is great - as is diving with Brac SCUBA Shack!

About the host

Hosted by Melissa Wood

Host profile image
Michael & I first came to the Caymans in November 2014 to experience what we knew was some of the best diving in the world. As an ex-travel agent, I have been 'selling' the Cayman Islands for years, and was keen to see them for myself. We fell in love with Cayman Brac because it's so relaxed, with fabulous sunrises & sunsets, friendly people, and we feel all our worries slip away from us as we arrive....

We currently live in New York City, and also own and take vacation rentals for our home in Colorado (HA Listing 258968), & our home in Australia (HA Listing 4059857). With our personal travel experience (we've lived and worked on 3 continents in 8 countries), we feel we know what other discerning travelers are looking for in a vacation rental and we have custom designed this house with those points in mind.

Why they chose this property

Cayman Brac is a relatively small island, where everything is within easy reach, and we liked it's simplicity.

What makes this property unique

The sunrises & sunsets are both lovely times of the day, and it's fun to decide which space on the deck or the beachfront we'll enjoy them from. Cocktail hour is always a pleasure, watching the ocean with the cooling breezes, and drifting off to sleep to the sound of the waves is immensely soothing.
