Villa, Pool, 3 Berms, 2.5 baths, breathtaking views, reef protected area, kayaks

"BLACKBEARDS LANDING" Stunning beach front property, meticulously landscaped with open air raised pergola, pool & sunbathing deck, screened in patio (sea side), open air patio (sea side), landscape lighting, coral rock walls, rich with deep tropical vegetation throughout the property. The sea water is fifteen feet and eight steps away from the appropriately decorated screened-in attached over sized patio area. The interior decorating is absolutely breath taking and the beds, couches and chairs are comfortable. This is an extreme high end house. This has been my house for the last eight years and I'm going to be traveling so I've decided to rent.
This is the only rental house on the island in the section where the resorts, hotels and condos are located and where you have the complete property to yourself.
Your view will be from a raised beach area to the reef protected sea on the South Side / West End of Cayman Brac. There are several fishing and dive boats moored in front of the house adding to the beautiful water scene for you to enjoy everyday.
This house was built by a doctor in 1997 and the couple made it there residence for ten years. I purchased the house in 2007 and in 2009 moved in and made it my residence for the last six years. This house offers EVERYTHING you could want. Beautiful furniture, fixtures and decorations throughout. Complete with stainless steel appliances, large flat screen TV's High Speed Wireless internet. A computer printer with paper and extra cartridges, a/c units in all rooms, dishwater, blender, coffee maker with timer, microwave, washer, dryer, Complete with linens, bath and beach towels. Everything is here!
The property offers three bedrooms in the main house. Tile floors and high end fixtures throughout. Fully equipped with all of the amenities one would expect from a finer home.
The master bedroom (king size bed) has it own change and bath area and it opens on the opposite side to the sea through two Anderson full glass patio doors.

There’s plenty of shade and tropical breeze as you relax in the seats or recline in the chase loungers under the large raised open air pergola which is fifteen feet from the water. The pergola is surrounded by mature coconut trees and other lush vegetation, the front is kept open so as not to distract from the view of the ocean. You could also take a little nap in one of the hammocks, perhaps the one ten feet from the water tied between two coconut trees.

The vrbo map is a little off. This property is located where the letter 'J' is displayed. I've tried to fix this but the people at vrbo tell me there is nothing that can be done.

Cayman Brac, British West Indies, is a sister island to the highly developed island of Grand Cayman. The ‘Brac’ has managed to remain unspoiled. This is the perfect antidote to the over-programmed resort vacation. Explore the island with its many hidden treasures while relaxing in your private retreat. Be it rock climbing, caving, shelling, diving, fishing, snorkeling, bird watching, hiking, walking the shore line, or just plain relaxing you will have a vacation to remember. Enjoy the peaceful quiet and easy island pace in a totally modern and comfortable house that will immediately become your home.

You can relax away from the hustle and bustle of the touristy areas and maddening crowds. Your tropical tranquil ocean front vacation home is just feet from the Caribbean waters. You can enjoy the ocean breeze while soaking in the sun and being mesmerized by the breath taking Caribbean turquoise waters and sapphire surf just feet from your door. Listen to the never-ending rhythm of the gentle rolling waves and feel the cooling breezes as you enjoy the warm sunshine and stunning sunsets any time of the year. There is plenty of privacy and you'll enjoy the small yellow songbirds and the island's native brown booby and frigate birds that seem to enjoy the lush, tropical surroundings. The visibility in the water is incredible and the coral reefs endless. The low temperature of the water in mid winter is 78F so you can swim all year long. The most difficult part of your vacation will be packing your sandals and leaving this absolute tropical paradise and the fine comfortable accommodations of the house.

Stores are closed on Sunday so for those who will be arriving after 6:30 PM on Saturday or on Sunday we will do your shopping and there is no charge for our time.

Also for your benefit I have arranged for those who desire to rent a car - a special deal with a car rental agency. For those who will be renting for seven day you will get the seventh day free.

Great location, beautiful grounds
This house is in a great location just a few minutes from grocery, restaurants and the dive shops. The outdoor space is fantastic with a warm pool and beautiful ocean views, and the screened porch is nice for enjoying warm evenings without bugs. The inside is dark and has lots of knickknacks, so it’s not a good place for young children.

Fantastic private home - great location
We very much enjoyed our stay at Blackbeard's landing. There were storms while we were there so we didn't get to try some of the amazing features the property had to offer like kayaks and the pool, but we loved the property and the outside areas to sit by the water - absolutely beautiful location to relax and the home was comfortable and exactly as described. We met a huge blue iguana that lived outside the house that was very cool! Convenient location for the dive shop and restaurant and market options too. Would definitely recommend this property to anyone planning a vacation in Cayman Brac!

Very nice!
Blackbeard’s Landing is in a convenient location, close to a grocery store, liquor store, a dive resort and nice restaurant. But the property is very quiet and private. There is extensive outdoor landscaping with a lovely outdoor living room and nice pool deck. The pool is covered to hold in the day’s heat and was very enjoyable! There is an entrance to the ocean but we didn’t use it, nor did we use the provided kayaks. The kitchen is very well stocked with everything you could possibly need should you decide to stay in to cook your meals. Blackbeard’s Landing is a very unique property with African and SE Asia decor, the furniture is comfortable, and the house was very clean. A highlight was mornings spent on the huge screen porch watching the world come alive. The view can’t be beat! We would recommend Blackbeard’s Landing.

Cayman Brac dive trip
Blackbeard's Landing was a great house for our dive trip. It was as good as it appeared on-line. And the location was great - very close to the Brac Scuba Shack dive shop. Henry and Sasha were great hosts. We will stay here if/when we return to Cayman Brac.

Heaven on a beach
Our own alcove in a protected reef. full of the owner’s interest in art and beach activities. The three week holiday passed at just the right tempo. Diving, hiking, bird watching, biking, rock climbing, massage and yoga were almost all in walking distance to maximum enjoyment. Henry and Sasha were kind and generous.

Location, location!
This was our second time renting one of Henry’s properties, but the first time renting Blackbeard’s Landing. We were three couples who have traveled together in the past, and this was a perfect house for us. The inside is spacious, the kitchen was well stocked with dish ware, glassware, cookware and utensils, and the screened lanai with a large table was wonderful for our evening meals. But the shining star is the outdoor amenities. There is a private yard, plenty of seating in both sun and shade, a heated pool, gas grill, paddle boards and a waterfront view that can’t be beat! The calm water inside the reef allowed water activities even on the windy days. It is also an easy walk to the Captain’s Table Restaurant (highly recommend) , a dive shop and 4D car rental. Henry is very quick to respond to any questions, arranged for Sasha to pick us up at the airport, and gave us some great suggestions for things to do. On a side note, make sure to find your way to the Pioneer Bakery for their fresh coconut rolls! We had a great vacation! Unfortunately, we had to cut our two week trip short because of the Corona virus and our Jet Blue flight cancellation. We would like to thank Sasha for helping us reschedule our flight home on Cayman Air. All went smoothly! We’ll be back again!

Magical place
This property is better than described and looks just like the pictures. It is peaceful and relaxing without ever lacking things to do. The set up is outstanding- paddle boards, kayak, snorkel equipment you can rent for a great price and the property has corn hole, a great pool and several hammocks for afternoon naps. Henry was easy to reach, answered all my questions and very helpful and patient. Highly recommend!

Mostly great!
We spent a week at Blackbeard’s Landing and enjoyed our stay. Some of the touches that made it stand out from the other properties we’ve rented: -Very responsive owner - one night there was a plumbing issue and it was repaired by the next morning. -Henry rented a car for us and it was waiting at the airport with the caretaker. Great prices and no hassle at all. At the end of the week we simply had to park at the airport and leave the car there. -Plenty of towels & beach towels -Outside area was gorgeous. We greatly appreciated the shade over the pool, the hammock under the trees, the floating dock, the upper deck area, and especially the screened porch. -The drying rack on the screened porch was a thoughtful amenity and very useful! -There were multiple floor and ceiling fans, all of which were needed. -The paddle boards were a great perk -The kitchen had everything we needed, & it was nice to have some things in the pantry already. Reasons we rated it a 4 rather than a 5: -We have rented countless homes from VRBO over the years, and we have always felt like the house was ours for the week. This time, however, felt like we were guests in someone else’s house. It’s a subtle but important difference...i.e. opening the dryer to find someone else’s clothing in it...rules regarding at what temperature to keep the A/C, which was too hot for our comfort (upon arrival, it was 84 in the house)...explicit instructions to keep the doors and windows closed at all times, though the website describes opening them up to the cool breezes. Also, 3-4 times during our stay, people would walk through the property & take the paddle boards out for a bit. This wasn’t a big deal, but there were a couple of times when we had planned to take them out but couldn’t, and it also meant that people were in our “space”. If you’re staying at a resort this isn’t an issue at all, but we rent private homes because we like to feel like we are the only people on the island. For the most part, we did, and these few nights were just a minor annoyance. -Pool was HOT. Not just summertime-in-the-Caribbean-lukewarm...but 95 degrees according to the thermometer in the pool. Couldn’t cool off in it. Tips for potential renters: -Not suitable for small children. Far too many knick knacks to knock over and break. -The master shower has windows extending down to waist level facing the road and the sea. Ladies, be prepared for some exhibitionism if you shower at night.

Amazing property with outstanding views!
We absolutely enjoyed our recent stay at Blackbeard’s Landing. I would say this property is in the best location on the island. Everything was perfect from the minute we landed from being greeted by Sasha to the time we left. The house is beautiful and equipped with everything you need for your stay. The best part though is the amazing grounds that have a private resort feel to the most beautiful views.

Perhaps the BEST rental house on the Brac
Henry's house was in a word AMAZING. The view was great, the location was great, the amenities in the home were great, the pool/grounds were well kept and maintained. Being within walking distance of the best restaurant on the Brac (Captain's Table) made the location even that much better. Henry was a VERY gracious host and went out of my way to make sure I was comfortable and well taken care of. Sasha (his property manager) was available if I needed anything and was a very big help the first few days until I got my bearings. Would I go back? Yes...and I wouldn't even look at another place. Thanks Henry for making my trip special.
