Additional information on Sunset Cottage and Cayman Brac

bullet

There is a telephone at the house. Ask for the number upon booking. You can receive incoming long distance calls and call inter-island free of charge. However, to make long distance calls, you can either buy an international phone card from different places (like the bank) to use the pay phones or, you can use a MasterCard, Visa, or Discover card by calling an 800-744-200 (posted on the bulletin board in the Cottage or found in Cayman Brac phone directory) and then following instructions.

 

bullet

Someone will meet your incoming flight to Cayman Brac, drive you to the house, and give you an orientation to the property. This service is included in the rental fee. We will need your incoming flight number and estimated time of arrival so that we can communicate that information to the person picking you up. You will need to arrange return transportation to the airport on departure.

Danny Dixon operates a car rental agency "4 - D Car Rental. Danny's number is (345) 948-1599. His fax number which is a great way to preliminarily send your request (to decrease overseas phone time) is (345) 948-2513.

 

bullet

Both bedrooms are air conditioned but not designed to air condition the whole house so works best if doors are closed to bedrooms when using them. There are ceiling fans in the bedrooms, great room, kitchen, and the bathrooms.

bullet

A well-equipped kitchen with everything that you need to cook your meals. There are three supermarkets on the island that carry a surprisingly large number of items that one would find in the US - there just is not a lot of selection, i.e., there may be two kinds of peanut butter, not twenty! The cost of food is 20-40% higher than in the US.
bullet Be aware if arriving on holidays and Sundays all stores will be closed.
bullet

Most meat in the supermarkets is frozen and expensive (similar to buying groceries at a 7-11).

bullet

You may want to consider bringing some meat in a cooler with plain or dry ice (what we do sometimes is pack the frozen food, then wrap  the cooler in duct tape [expect some leakage with regular ice]).

bullet

Be sure to keep the meat in its original grocery store wrapping with the store label displayed showing USDA Inpection.

 

bullet

You may be asked to open the cooler: 
bullet

* if transiting on Cayman Airways, customs will ask you on Grand Cayman

bullet

* if on another airline to Grand Cayman to Cayman Brac

bullet

customs may either ask you on Grand Cayman or Cayman Brac.

bullet You may also want to consider bringing a few nonperishable staples, as the kitchen does not include stocking flour, sugar, coffee, etc.
To cut down on pests, we supply cleaning supplies but no stocked food. However, all items are found on the island in small to large quantities.

There is a clothes washer and dryer in a separate laundry room that is part of Sunset Cottage. These are very handy for an extended (or even weekly) stays since you do not need to bring a lot of clothing.

 

bullet

Cayman Brac is tropical and the dress is casual. We do recommend that you bring a light jacket or sweater since the nights can be cool.

 

bullet

There is a DVD player at the Cottage and off and on there is a video store open (ask around or check the Cottage guest "journal"). Cable TV is installed at the house.

 

bullet

Unfortunately, we are unable to keep a stereo in working order. We suggest bringing a portable MP3 player with a portable speaker if you would like music.

 

bullet

In case of emergency while staying on the island, there is a very progressive hospital, Faith Hospital, on the North Side towards the East End, in Stake Bay.
bullet

Hospital phone numbers are 345-948-2243 / 2245 / 2325. Emergency calls are 911.

For US and British Commonwealth citizens, entry into the Cayman Islands is permitted for up to six months with a picture ID and your birth certificate. A passport is also acceptable. Citizens of other countries will need a passport.

 

bullet

The Cayman Islands have strict laws concerning the use of drugs. Do not bring illegal drugs into the islands. If the drug is illegal in the US, then it is illegal in the Cayman Islands. If you have prescriptions for narcotics or controlled drugs, be sure and bring the original containers that indicate that you do have a prescription for them.

 

bullet

The Cayman dollar is pegged to the US dollar at a fixed exchange rate of: US$1.00 = CI$.80 or US$20.00 = CI$16.00 and US$1.25 = CI$ 1.00. Be sure and understand quotations from businesses or services as whether or not the price is in US or Cayman as there is a substantial difference.

 

bullet

The exchange rate is better at the banks. To convert CI to US, multiply the CI$ by 1.22. To convert US to CI, multiply US$ by $0.82.

 

bullet

All prices that are quoted with respect to Sunset Cottage are US$ unless prefaced by "CI$."
