We had a 10 day stay at Tropical RunAway and enjoyed every minute of it. We are a family of four and occupied the Loggerhead House (the main villa). Our sons are both adults so while my husband and I occupied one guest suite on the upper floor, they flipped a coin to decide who got the other suite. The downstairs bedrooms are a bit spare, but most of our time was spent outside on the screened in porch or on the lovely grounds or upstairs in the large family room so the sleeping accommodations weren't super important. We were on Brac for a SCUBA vacation, and found this to be a super location from which to easily and quickly reach the dive shop. We also did some shore diving, so it was convenient to pick up tanks from the shop, do the diving we wanted and run the tanks back by the shop on the way back to the villa. A grocery store and restaurants are situated close by, so we really needn't have left the west end of the island if we didn't want to. The location near the airport was actually kind of nice - not a ton of air traffic, and what there is isn't super loud. There is no beach access from the airport grounds, so it makes this property a dead end as far as public access. We saw very few people on the beach in front of the house. There was another couple staying in the Hawksbill house (the small guesthouse on the property), but it was not a problem at all. We didn't see much of them, and the grounds are large enough that we could all spread out and feel like we had the place to ourselves. The SCUBA rinse station is shared by both houses, but the other group did not have gear to maintain, so this wasn't an issue for us. The laundry is also shared, but again, it was not a problem as the other couple just checked with us about when we would be gone and did their laundry when we were on the dive boat. The kitchen was well appointed. We didn't cook meals beyond breakfast, but there were plenty of pots and pans and utensils. We had a few minor issues during our stay: the smoke detector batteries were low, the power went out a couple of times, and one of the AC units was dripping water into the house upon our arrival. Each of these issues was handled promptly by the property managers on the island. We would definitely stay at this property again in the future if our travels take us back to Cayman Brac.

My family and I had a wonderful week at this property. The owners were so easy to communicate with and responsive. The house was everything that was posted and more! Beautiful sunsets and sunrises. Peaceful. Great location. Saw turtles, barracuda, trunk fish, Nassau groupers and a ton of other fish snorkeling there. Kitchen and grill were used while cooking and enjoying many family meals. Our whole family gave it a two thumbs up! Hope to visit again soon!

House is very nice; especially liked the large screened in porch and eating areas. Grounds are beautifully cared for and location to ocean (30 feet), airport (less than five minutes) and restaurants / grocery stores (less than five minutes) make it a real plus. Airport runway is nearby but noise was never a problem and fun to see airplanes landing close by. A nice vacation. Strongly recommended.

This place is amazing! Sitting at the end of a quiet road next to the local airport (which only has 4-6 flights daily, most of which are small prop planes) the owners have built a beautiful getaway spot. The house is surrounded by mature native landscaping including palm trees, bougainvillea, and various shrubs through which a series of paths reveal a hidden chicken coop and bee hives. The house itself is roomy and comfortably furnished and the owners have thought of everything (modern appliances, dishwear, outdoor showers, scuba gear dunk tank, places to dry gear and clothing, etc). We spent a lot of time on the wraparound screened in porch both in the mornings and evenings. The pool served as a great alternative to the beach as the wind was up the week we were there and thus the ocean was a bit rough. The beach is amazing and incredibly private with very good snorkeling right in front of the house. Make sure to bring water shoes as the bottom is mostly iron shore. The owners were very communicative and great to deal with and their on island managers were great! All in all I would rank this as the best rental I have ever stayed in. We cannot wait to come back with extended family!!

Beautiful home on an amazing island! Couldn’t have been better!!

Definitely Paradise! Great communication with the owners!

Folks, this is an amazing property that is wonderfully located! The staff who help maintain it were great, the location was easy to get to, and the relaxation was abundant!! We were a party of seven...two married couples and three 22 year old ladies; all there for family time, scuba, sun and rest! I have one piece of advice to share about Tropical RunAway...the two rooms with queen beds are down stairs and access to these rooms is from the outside and not from the main part of the house. The 22 year olds stayed down there in our case. The downstairs bathroom is also accessed from the outside. Our hosts suggested and offered us the additional cottage on the property for an additional minimal fee, but when I declined I didn't realize the two queen bedrooms were accessed from the outside directly. I had it in my head it would somehow separate us and lesson the family time...wrong! Lesson learned...rent the whole property. It's worth it! Wonderful, wonderful place. We would go back in a heartbeat! Thanks for sharing your bit of paradise!

This is a lovely place to stay. The property is absolutely beautiful and well maintained. We enjoyed the pool and beach and would highly recommend this property! Karen and Ray are gracious hosts. We'll be back!

Property it's self is nice enough if full of junk but TWO WEEKS after the rental the owners are now claiming we took an iPod and going to charge us $200 for it. Seriously an iPod. Completely fraudulent and ridiculous. Avoid this rental.

This place was absolutely spectacular. The place was clean, easy to find and the hosts were great. We were surrounded by the naturally positive Cayman Brac energy at this place. I will be going back to this place again.

Tropical RUNaWayOur extended family of ten: 7 adults and three young grandchildren had a wonderful time at this beautiful property. If the rating went to 10 I would give it 10! We rented the main house and the smaller cottage. Both were perfect. The grandkids and adults all loved the pool and the beach. We saw turtle tracks on the beach and even parrots in the lush landscaping around the house. We loved the island and the people. The island is very relaxed and not crowded. When we arrived at the airport we were warmly greeted by both Sondra, the house caretaker and a representative from B&S Motor Ventures with our rented van. It was a very nice and easy start to a great vacation.I cannot say enough about the house and the grounds. The house is beautiful and the grounds make you feel like you are living in a tropical garden. There are even chickens to provide fresh eggs. The grandchildren loved collecting the eggs everyday. The houses has everything one could ever need. Karen the owner was great to deal with. A five star rating just seems too low! We would go back in a minute. Stephen Assenmacherand Family

An absolutely beautiful property in a private setting. Turtle Rescue volunteers need to respect the privacy of guests renting this property.

Tropical Runaway was everything we hoped it would be, plus more. Our 5th visit to Cayman Brac led us to the best property we've visited so far, and quite possibly the best rental we've visited anywhere. Everything was as advertised. The house was clean, well-stocked, and easily roomy enough for all four of us. We didn't need to spread out to the downstairs bedrooms. The landscaping was far better than the pictures showed. The screened porch was very spacious. The pool led to hours of fun with a water temperature that was perfect every day. The visiting Crab Catcher was fun to watch. Sitting around the living room was a great way to end each day. The location of the house is very convenient in regards to groceries, restaurants, shopping, and dive shops. I am also happy to say that the atmosphere created by the friendly local people is still strong in Cayman Brac. The Runaway property is so comfortable and homey, it created a feeling of personal attachment. It was very difficult to leave. You have to visit to understand and I highly recommend both the house and the small island upon which it sits. Thank you, Zarembas!

Our family if from the Brac so we have made many, many trips to Cayman Brac for over 50 years. For the last several years we have had to rent a place to stay and hands down found this spot to be the best. Seeing is believing. We have stayed here more than once. All the amenities and more that you would need plus always improving everything(what little improvement you can make to perfection). The grounds are well kept and pristine and offer so much privacy, the pool is spectacular and the sun shades over the pool are set up perfectly to allow breaks from the sun when needed. The home itself is so very modern, well-kept and comfortable....can't say enough about this!! Karen and Ray are hands on owners which adds that personal and caring touch to the entire property. Had the opportunity to meet these wonderful people as they opened their arms to assist in anything that we might need. Can not say enough about it, you truly have to experience it. We were able to experience a giant loggerhead laying eggs and also a nest of babies hatching and going to the sea...note this only happens at certain times of the year. **** Special request to all visitors: treat it as your own home so we can all visit for years to come.

One month after our return home we are still talking about our stay at Tropical Runaway. Words seem inadequate to describe this property and our experience there. This summer was our family's 10th visit to Cayman Brac. Never before have we had a visit as perfect as this one. Tropical Runaway is a paradise like no other on this wonderful island. The lovely grounds offering hours of exploration for the children, the sparkling pool just the right place to find relief from the heat and relax after a long afternoon snorkeling, the amazing stretch of rare sandy beach providing a place to witness a different, spectacular sunset each evening. The children loved visiting the chickens every day and collecting the seemingly endless bounty of eggs, searching for tiny hermit crabs in the most unusual selection of shells, and finding all manner of unique lizards, frogs, and even insects we had never seen before on previous visits. We loved the cabanas and enjoyed them every evening as the place to watch the sky change, welcome the cool breeze, and reflect on the day. The smaller house was the perfect retreat for the grandparents with all the amenities and comforts they could want or need. The big house was wonderfully comfortable, offering plenty of room for all of us as a main gathering place to watch movies, eat meals, or play games. The wraparound porch gave us a different place to watch the stars every night, and a terrific view of the planes on their daily arrivals and departures. Although we were excited about the possibility of seeing a turtle we never expected that we would end up being included in the official rescue and release of turtle hatchlings, as well as having the unbelievable experience of watching a turtle dig her nest and lay eggs one evening. Karen and Ray's home is truly a labor of love and we were lucky enough to find it and spend our vacation there. The property and the incredible things we experienced this summer made this year's trip one we will never forget. And we are already looking forward to our return next year. We all agree there simply couldn't be a better place.

This home is beyond description! Everything that was needed was there. The house was immaculate, the pool and grounds were perfect. After a day of diving it was wonderful to be able to come home and go swimming in a freshwater pool. Both my wife and I took our wedding vows on the beach at sunset in front of the house and it is something we will always cherish. The couple who take care of the home when the owners are not present could not do enough for us. We rented the home and cottage for a group of ten and everyone was extremely happy. My wife and I have rented the home for the same time next year and are already talking to our friends about it. If you are looking for a quiet, beautiful home with magnificent sunsets to share with friends, this is the place!!!

We had such a wonderful time "skipping Christmas" and avoiding buying all kinds of useless gifts nobody needs. Although the water was very rough and we were unable to snorkel much at all, we had a great time making memories as we explored the island. Karen was SOOO helpful with suggestions and tips! Do pay attention to her airport hints VERY NICE. Karen also prepared us for what to expect on their beach ( urchins and rocks ) which I think are easily navigated with proper shoes, I think the rough water was our downfall there. The property was amazing every turn you take you find another area to relax. We rented both houses which was nice and relaxing. The Clarke's were also helpful and it was a pleasure to visit with them, (although they never interfered with our stay.) We traveled with our 6 adult children. And the layout of the homes worked perfectly. My husband and I will be back and I have recommended it to my co-workers who are serious divers,I know they would love it!

We have had amazing week! Everyone enjoyed their stay in your lovely home. The home itself and location couldn't be better. The upstairs is spacious and fully stocked with everything you could need. We really enjoyed the patio and multiple seating areas all around the house. The layout is very flexible for a group where individuals can have private space and easily gather as a group. The pool is the perfect size, very clean and enjoyable with multiple entry/seating areas. The water was rough the whole week so we didn't get the opportunity to swim or dive in front of the house but really enjoyed our walks on the beach and pool. The views of the ocean, beach, manicured walking paths and gardens are wonderfully hypnotic and made you want to sit there all night with a glass of good wine and friends. The location is great, secluded but yet close to everything you need. We watched the planes land and take off waving to a few of the pilots as we walked the beach in watch for turtles and search for that unique sea shell. We loved going out each morning to greet the girls in the chicken coop and collecting the fresh eggs. We could hear their chatter increase once they saw us approaching. My mom gave them all names for the week and made multiple trips out to visit them each day. She also enjoyed massages from The Beach Spa, Cayman Brac on the porch with the sound of the waves in the background and butterflies flying all around the trees. We were incredibly lucky and saw a whole nest of baby turtles hatch and a mom lay a new nest. The property managers Mr. & Mrs. Clarke were wonderful. Very nice and quick to respond when we had a question during our visit. I can't say enough positive things about our stay. We really enjoyed ourselves and are already planning our return next year.

Just returned after a 12 day stay. As all of the other people said this is a wonderful place. The house is well stocked. We carried 2 coolers of food for 8 people. The kitchen had everything we needed. Brother is an excellent cook. Ray gave him a few hints on the use of the smoker and we had a great pork roast. Pool was wonderful especially since we had it to our selves. We did snorkel on the reefs out front. Need water shoes to get out. Our 11 year old enjoyed the snorkeling there. Ray and Karen even attended the kids Hermit crab race one night. Hope to go back again.

Tropical Run-A-Way was a perfect fit for our extended family. The house is spacious and beautiful. The air conditioning kept us cool inside, and the breezes through the large veranda kept us comfortable outside. We used the swimming pool quite a lot, and a few family members took advantage of the snorkeling gear and kayaks provided by the hosts. One night we enjoyed fireworks on the beach. The landscaping at Tropical Run-A-Way is gorgeous: masses of flowering vines and shrubs, with plenty of palm trees swaying in the breeze. The kitchen was well equipped for casual or ambitious cooking. Cayman Brac is an unspoiled paradise. We loved it!

It's been a few weeks since we left Cayman Brac, I find I struggle to find words to do justice to the charm, beauty and warmth of this Caribbean paradise. We spent 2 weeks in your beautiful home, it truly felt more like a lifestyle than a vacation, you really make Tropical Run-A-Way feel like being home than a vacation rental. Photos can't do justice to the property, its really something you have to experience and it is in our opinion the best location and property on the Island. Everything we needed was there, you really have thought of everything, even a supply of books to exchange when I ran out. The wrap around veranda always gives you choice of sun or shade, the pool shades came in handy during the hot afternoon. We wanted a relaxation vacation and your property was the perfect place for that, the biggest decision of the day was which spot to lounge, the cabana, the hammock, the veranda or the pool. I wondered if being close to the airport was going to be a problem, it was definitely not intrusive at all, you hardly even notice it. The property has good separation from the house and the cottage so even when sharing the property there is lots of privacy. Thanks for the tip on renting the car, it helps to get out and about and see all the island. The island itself may not have the shear beauty of Turks white sand beaches and turquoise water, but Brac has a natural beauty of its own and the people who live there are what really sets this island apart. Every time we walked or drove down the road, people would wave as we passed, everyone was friendly, so interesting to talk to, they really make you feel welcome. It was a nice change, no crowds, no vendors pushing Time share brochures in your face or on the noisy beach vendors selling wares, just us and the hermit crabs. The island has very good drinking water and everywhere we ate we had great food. Shout out to Cesar and crew at Captains Table, we had the best lobster dinner we've ever had and the Super Bowl party was so much fun. The island is very safe, clean, and you just can't beat the weather. We don't dive, but met lots of people who dive, so I think we'll put that on the bucket list. We were looking for a place to have a family vacation so we'll be coming back next year with the kids and grandkids, we can't wait to return. We haven't stopped talking about what a great vacation we had and how much we loved our time there.

This was our second vacation on the Brac, and the first time at Tropical Run-A-Way. Without a doubt, this home is the greatest combination of location, privacy, comfort, and relaxation that you'll find on a Caribbean island beach! The owners have obviously put a lot of effort into making this home an inviting, beautiful destination which you can start enjoying immediately upon arrival. While the home is much larger than just the two of us needed, we quickly decided that this is the perfect place to bring our family on a future visit - hopefully soon. We rented a car from B&S Rentals, who met us at the airport. We met the property manager upon arrival and got a quick tour of the house. Everything was so convenient. All the essentials are just a few minutes away: groceries, drinks, Barry's Jerk Chicken (a must have), great pizza cooked in a wood oven at the Buccaneer, and our favorite place for a Cayman breakfast, the Star Island restaurant. We found great places to snorkel right off our beach, and at Scott's Dock. There's even a nice public beach on the South shore with an all-sand bottom if that's a priority for you. What we will most remember about our visit are walks on the beach, soaking up the magnificent sunsets from the cabana, hanging out at the pool, barbecuing and having meals out on the huge wraparound porch, seeing parrots in the wild at the reserve, listening to the waves, and getting lost in the expanse of stars at night. If you like the idea of visiting a Caribbean island in what feels like the comfort of your own home, then this is the place for you.

...we had never stayed in a better place before!.. this tropical place is so magnificent and charming...surrounded by nature it is an amazing place to disconnect...We want to say warm thank you to the owners for putting great deal of creativity, time and effort to design such a magical space...and for making this stay truly special for us ...Some of us will surely be back...

We've had such an amazing time here in this house for almost 2 weeks celebrating or friends getting married on the beach right down from the house. The ceremony was wonderful and very beautiful. We've also enjoyed long lazy days in the pool and on the beach, and long nights barbecuing on the porch. The house and it's location was the absolutely perfect combination of privacy and luxury and the many large areas on the porch, by the pool or in the house was perfect for us considering we where a few people here together. The house has about everything you need but if you want to get around on the island I strongly recommend renting a car. It's been a real pleasure staying at Tropical Run-A-Way and I would definitely recommend it.
