The Bluff View House, known by the locals as "The Climbers House"

Unlike the larger, more famous Grand Cayman, "The Brac" is an uncrowded, peaceful paradise. Fourteen miles long and a mile wide with about a thousand residents, the island is known for its exceptionally friendly people and total lack of crime. There's no traffic lights, no TV stations, no stress. There is however world-class diving, snorkeling, climbing, fishing and just plain relaxing.

There are only three main roads on the Brac and the Bluff View House is on the South road, toward the East end of the island. The house backs up against the Bluff and is nestled between coconut palms and exotic cacti. It's 60 yards to the water, and the sound of the waves lulls you to sleep.

The house has two independent units: one up, one down. A fully equipped kitchen (fridge, stove, microwave, blender, Mr. Coffee, pots, dishes, etc.) supplements a fully furnished, air conditioned house.

Bring your clothes, toothbrush, CDs and tapes, snorkel, scuba and climbing gear. Everything else is there (except a TV)!

Rates

Rates for the Bluff View house, per floor, are $95/night (3 night minimum) or $570/week. Prices includes tax.

Testimonials

John,

The trip was one the most fun I've had in a while - and I go on a lot of trips. I think the stone is amazing...

Each wall had its own uniqueness. We went to Wave Wall, Dixons, Love Shack, Edd's, the Point and Orange Cave. Rappelling in is a bit nerve racking and I would not advise any climbers who are inexperienced to go there. The snorkeling was outstanding.

The house was great... I would definitely do it again and bring more friends if possible.

Thanks!
