Additional information on Sunset
Cottage and Cayman Brac
 |
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, now 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.
|
 |
One of
the
Dixons 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 Dixons. You will need to arrange return transportation to the airport on
departure. Doyle can supply you with contact information for the local taxi
service (Ms. Ellie); and, this information can be found in the Sunset
Cottage guest journal found in the kitchen.
|
 |
Doyle's brother, Danny, also operates a car rental agency (The 4 D's) plus, given you are renting the Cottage, he will give you an
additional discount. 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. |
 |
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. |
 |
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.
 |
Be aware of arriving that on holidays and Sundays
all stores will be closed.
|
 |
Most meat in the supermarkets is frozen and expensive (similar to buying
groceries at a 7-11). |
 |
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]).
|
|
 |
If
asked to open the cooler:
 |
*
if transiting on Cayman Airways, customs will ask you on Cayman Brac;
|
 |
*
if on another airline to Grand Cayman and Island Air to Cayman Brac,
|
 |
customs may either ask you on Grand Cayman or Cayman Brac.
|
 |
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. |

For a fee payable to him, Doyle Dixon, our property
manager, will stock the kitchen with food for a few meals. This is
especially useful if you are arriving late at night or on Sunday (the
markets are closed on Sunday). Use the same phone and fax numbers for the
car rental agency:
 |
(345)-948-1599 phone |
 |
(345) 948-2513 fax (cost-effective way to send
requests and receive back answers - don't be surprised if your answer is
on island-time though) |
|
 |
There are 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. |
 |
Cayman
Brac is tropical and the dress is casual. We do recommend that you bring a
light jacket or sweater except during the summer since the nights can be
cool during the other three seasons. |
 |
There
is a VCR with a few videos 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. |
 |
Unfortunately, we are unable to keep a stereo in working order. We suggest
carrying a "boom box" down with your favorite forms of music if you would
like music. |
 |
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.
 |
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. |
 |
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. |
 |
The Cayman dollar is pegged to the US dollar at a
fixed exchange rate of: 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.
|
 |
To convert CI to US, multiply the CI$ by 1.22. To
convert US to CI, multiply US$ by $0.82. All prices that are quoted with
respect to Sunset Cottage are US$ unless prefaced by "CI$."

Additional information you need to know if
arriving on a certain day... |
 |
Cayman Airways (800-422-9626) - (http://www.caymanairways.com)
 |
They usually only one flight in and it arrives on Cayman Brac around
10-11:00 PM HOWEVER --> they often change their flights and at
times during the year have two or more flights arriving at different
times of the day. If it is a late flight, this usually gives you time to tour Grand Cayman during
that day before your flight to Cayman Brac. You can check them on their web
site and also make reservations through them.
