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.
