Bluff View in the morning light

There are only three main roads on the Brac and the Bluff View House is on the South Side road, towards the east end of the island.  This is the quiet end of the island, far from the noise of the airport and what little traffic there is.  It’s also very dark for good stargazing.  Bluff View backs up against the bluff and is nestled between coconut palms, agave and cacti. It’s 60 yards to the water, and the sound of the waves and palm fronds in the wind lull you to sleep.

Living area with Futon (sleeps two)

The house has two independent apartments: one up, one down.  It’s nothing fancy, but it’s comfortable and has everything you need including a fully equipped kitchen (fridge, stove, blender, coffee maker, microwave, pots, dishes, etc.), sheets, towels and a clothes washer out back.  After a day of climbing, the outdoor shower is highly recommended!  I haven’t showered indoors in years.

Fully equipped kitchen

For a long-term stay commercial Daycare is available and requires the usual proof of vaccinations and paperwork.  An alternative is for you to hire a “Gramma” to come to Bluff View and watch over your children while you climb.   The usual cost is US$30 – 37/day.   Let me know if you’d like a Gramma.

So bring your clothes, toothbrush, CDs or Ipod (and cable with a standard 1/8″ male connector on both ends), snorkel, scuba and climbing gear.  There’s no TV, no wifi and no internet, and it’s far better that way.

Dining area

Never snap a wet kitchen towel at a guy you know has a black belt!

Until Dec 1, 2017, the rate for the Bluff View house, per floor, is US$115/night (3-night minimum) or $690/week (one night free).

On Dec 1, 2017 and onward, the rate will be US$120/night, and US$720/week (one night free).
