  My wife, two daughters and I stayed in the 2 bedroom unit for 3 weeks in March. I did a lot of research before settling on the Brac and Secluded Sunsets. My wife often prefers to lay around the pool while I'm more of an adventurous vacationer. This was the perfect set up for us. First off, once we chose to rent from Henry, he sent us all the information you could possibly need or want about the island, easiest ways to navigate the local airport, rental car info, what to bring & what to not bother with, etc. My wife and I are "planners" so this made it so easy for us. Once we arrived we were met at the airport with the rental car waiting for us, escorted to the house and given a run-down on all the features of the property. All three units are updated, clean and well-kept. The view from the deck on the 1 bedroom upstairs unit is spectacular, and the 2 bedroom unit we rented is very spacious and lends itself to entertaining a larger group. The pool is decent sized, and the sun sails are a great touch to provide shade around the pool. The hammocks in the cabana are great as they put you just a few feet away from the ocean in complete shade, while the hammock under the palm trees near the 2 bedroom unit gives a lot of privacy. While we were there we took advantage of the snorkeling equipment that was provided with the unit, as well as the three bladefish the come with the rentals. The snorkeling right off the house is amazing, full of coral, rock formations, and tons of sea life. I spent a lot of my vacation snorkeling within 500 yards of the house. Be warned that entry into the water at the property requires water shoes or dive boots (which Henry provides) due to the rock and coral and isn't smart to try with small children. There is a super easy entry spot into the ocean a quarter of a mile down the road with a ladder leading into the water and room to park your car, or a beautiful public beach with easy entry within a 10 minute drive that never had more than 5 people on it. We also went diving, hiked the bluff several times, explored many of the caves (Chandelier cave was my favorite), went charter fishing, and relaxed and enjoyed the beautiful sunrises and sunsets. There are several good restaurants that serve everything from local cuisine to more American options. One of the nicest features of staying at Secluded Sunsets is the level of service you get from Henry. He makes himself available and is always willing to help with any questions you have.

  This was our third stay with Henry and once again we loved it! The pool addition was really nice with the sun sails offering that mid day protection from the sun. The new bikes are great - I felt pretty cool touring around town. We had a massage done by Elaine under the Cabana - ahhhhh is all I can say :). We also ordered they Cinnabun type cake that's on the refrigerator. It was so worth it. Henry set my husband and his friend up with a local fishing guide and they brought home wahoo, grouper and yellow snapper from their days catch. My luggage never showed up the first night and Claire brought me a toothbrush, deoderant and some clothes. She even brought flip flops! What a lifesaver. Thanks again for a wonderful vacation. We will miss you both!!

  We stayed in the two-bedroom unit at Secluded Sunsets for two weeks in January, 2013. The unit was clean, well-supplied and nicely decorated. The view from the property was spectacular and we enjoyed lounging around the new pool and in the hammocks.Henry was most accommodating, especially in taking one of our group on a few shore dives. Secluded Sunsets is an ideal place for a relaxing, barefoot, tropical holiday!

  My family and friends (9 adults) stayed at Secluded Sunsets for 2 weeks (12/29 – 01/12). We had the entire house, all 3 apartments. It’s actually hard to say enough good things about Henry and his guest house. The location is fantastic. It sits right on the ocean in a very quiet upscale oceanfront neighborhood. The house has MORE than everything you need to enjoy your vacation. Lots of towels, clean linens, kitchens have cookware, utensils, dishware, etc. Lots of small appliances – our apartment even had a crockpot. The refrigerators with the door ice/water are fantastic. No concerns about safe drinking water! You’ll find many items left by previous guests and supplied by Henry. (Nice especially if you’ve forgotten something.) Lots of spices, cooking oil, and some dry goods. Toilet paper, plastic bags/wrap, foil, shampoo, sunscreen, etc. The 2 bedroom apartment is huge and the 1 bedroom apartments are large with plenty of space. The upstairs 1 bedroom is an open area design with a huge deck and big double doors and lots of windows. The downstairs 1 bedroom is large with separate living, kitchen/dining and bedroom with ensuite bath. All the apartments have front and rear/side exits. Super clean, very well maintained and nicely furnished. The pool and yard area are fantastic. We used the pool as much as we did the house. It’s a great gathering area and the fresh water pool is a life saver after a long day of activities. Turn all the lights off at night while sitting around the pool. You won’t believe the stars. Awesome! We actually used the stone smoker and smoked a tuna we caught. It was excellent. The ocean front palapa with the hammocks was another favorite spot. Just swinging and listening to the waves and watching the sunsets. I know why the house is called Secluded Sunsets. The view of the sun setting every night is awesome. We followed all of Henry’s recommendations and we’re glad we did. We brought coolers with meat and on the flight in purchased duty free alcohol. Henry was also great at helping us with excursions and information. He really knows the island. Henry was a fantastic host and a lot of fun. Thanks Henry for the absolute best accommodations on Cayman Brac.

  If I could, I would give Secluded Sunsets a six star rating. Henry has done an incredible job with this rental. My wife and I returned from an incredible week in the upstairs one bedroom unit. When we first walked in to the unit, I knew right away we had found a gem. The living room and kitchen area is huge with a gorgeous view to the spacious balcony and Carbbean Sea. The appliances are all new and the stove is a gas stove - what an unexpected pleasure. The couch is very comfortable and there is a flat screen TV (which we didn't use) with a huge movie library. The wifi has a strong signal so keeping in contact with the family and business back home was great. There is also a nice selection of books on premise. The bedroom was very spacious with lots of closet and drawers - not that we needed much because you bring only swimsuits and shorts. The bed was very comfortable as well. The air conditioning was set at 78º which was perfect for taking a little refuge from the hot sun in the midafternoon. Outside, we had the big balcony to relax in the sun or read by the railing overlooking the waves crashing on the beach. The pool downstairs was a great addition to cool off. The weather was gorgeous. The only rain we had was during the night - each day was sunny and hot. We are not far from the airport - believe me, it is not a busy airport. However, you must walk down the beach to the airstrip in the evening and lie down in the sand and wait for the 737 to come in on Friday, Saturday or Sunday. The jet comes in and flies right over you as it comes in for a landing. It is something I have never experienced before. It is a must do while at Secluded Sunsets. The sunsets here are beautiful. Henry and Claire are wonderful hosts. Henry is a short distance away. When we arrived he was there to give us a tour of the Island, waited for us to shop for groceries and beverages and then personally showed us to the Villa. He had our car waiting at the airport, as promised. His communication before the trip was excellent. We even invited Claire and Henry to dinner to thank him for all the excellent service he provided on our behalf. Yes, selfishly, I want to keep this place a secret so it would be available the next time I want to book. This place is amazing - no, it is more than amazing! I would go back in a moment. The diving, the sun, the solitude and the friendly atmosphere. Thanks Henry and Claire for a great holiday. Peter and Karen, Montreal

  If you are seeking to find peace, rest, beauty, etc. you will not have to look any further. Sucluded Sunsets is just what the doctor ordered. Our stay here was amazing. From the moment we arrived at the home, we were satisfied and pleasantly pleased with our choice. The view is more beautiful than pictures can express. We were taken by the beauty of the property and the privacy. This is definitely a place you will want to return to again, and again. If searching for peace and rest, wanting to get away from the worries and responsibilities of life. Well, this is the place...Cayman Brac. The Island is very small, quiet, friendly, and a beautiful place to spend your vacation. I will definitely return to the Island, again for an amazing vacation. Thank you for allowing us to enjoy this beautiful home and Island. Can't wait to return. Henry and Claire are the best!!!!

Highly highly highly recommended!

  Let me know what you think and I will post We were the first people to stay in the upstairs unit after Paloma. This is our 4th year on the Brac and of course we were staying at this wonderful property again. Henry asks every year what was missing, what would make things better, etc. Well after last year I jokingly said "well, a pool would be nice" - well guess what - he went and built a POOL! We ended up staying in the two bedroom this year as we planned on entertaining a bit more. As we have now stayed in all 3 units - I have to say that each one is uniquely special and has it’s own specific benefits. Unit 1 – One BR upstairs brings the views, the large deck and lots of sunshine. Unit 2 – One BR downstairs has the easiest access to all of the outdoor features, a wonderful shaded area under the deck and the pool is just a few steps out the door. Unit 2 – Two BR downstairs. This kitchen is well appointed and has plenty of room for entertaining, the layout of the unit is perfect and the den is spacious with plenty of seating and open area for hanging out with friends. Henry and Claire are incredible hosts and are close enough that they are there if you ever need anything. I can’t stress enough what it means to hit the ground on the Brac knowing we are going “to our other house” to unwind – because that is how it feels. Whether it’s the groceries in the fridge, the cell phone waiting for you or the DVD library – all of the comforts of home are there and you don’t spend half of your time wanting for anything. The pool is just perfect. Hot sun, cool water – and the cocktails are just a few steps away whatever unit you are staying in!

  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!!!

  I have to say my only disappointment was having to leave. Absolutely loved the house, the view, and the island and am very anxious to get back. The owner was extremely helpful with any needs and was just a phone call away (on a phone he provided for use). He had so many items for us to use it made packing much easier not to mention his fantastic suggestions and helpful information. I feel like we gained new friends that I hope to remain in contact with and see again soon!
