We've been to several islands in the Caribbean, but keep coming back to Cayman Brac. As busy Americans always with a to do list that's longer than we can complete, we like coming to a place where there's not much to do and it forces us to relax. No beaches means no crowds, there's no traffic, the snorkeling is great (including right from the house, once we found a path free of urchins), and the pool and shaded screened porch make lounging all day so comfortable. LaRonda's place was everything we expected and exactly what we needed. It's clearly a house that has been loved and lived in - a welcome change from some rentals that seem to be stripped down to the bare minimum. It's nice to have books and art that reflect the local place, plus all the little amenities that people who actually live there would want (from different indoor and outdoor seating options to a fully stocked kitchen). We booked a trip to Cayman Brac after going to St. John last year it was just too busy for our taste. Too much driving and too many people everywhere. Once we arrived at this house, we saw a handful of boats go by all week, we saw one person at a house a couple doors down when we went snorkeling, but otherwise total privacy and a very quiet retreat. We read a lot, listened to music, and enjoyed one another's company. We picked up food and got a couple drinks, but for us this is/was the perfect place to unwind.
