“Fabulous Villa” I recently spent 4 days in this lovely home and highly recommend it. I have stayed at many villas in the Caribbean and none have been as well maintained or had as much attention to detail shown as Barefoot Palms. The landscaping is gorgeous with lots of palms and flowering trees. The back yard is to die for...nice pool, lounge chairs, sitting area and the best part of all - a great Tiki bar. The outdoor space is great for kids and adults, and is very private. Inside, the first thing you notice is how fresh and clean the house smells. Not musty like some villas. The layout is great and the decorating is perfect..casual and beachy, yet upscale. You can tell the owners take a lot of pride in their home. The kitchen is well stocked, there are TVs and DVD players in every room, there is an alarm system in the house, and beach chairs, coolers and umbrellas are provided. The villa is located in a quiet, gated neighborhood and is a short walk to a great beach or a short drive to the main section of Grace Bay Beach. The owners are great to work with - very responsive and can answer any and all questions about the island. I can't wait to go back!

“Ahhh mazing” We just got back from staying at the most amazing little house you have ever seen, the lonely gecko house was perfect for me and my boyfriend to have a relaxing and uplifting vacation. We felt safe, and more importantly felt like that house was our home away from home. With the amazing colors and bikes we used offten. They home owners are clearly consider our friends with how well they communicated and valued us as guest. You should book the gecko house now! You will not regret the beautiful house and the amazing beaches right near there!

“Exceptional!” Loved our time at windhaven! There are so many amazing things about this place, I hope I will not forget any in my review. The villas are extremely well equipped and decorated simply and tastefully. They have state of the art appliances (including a washer, dryer and Weber BBQ), surround sound with multiple docking stations, large storage facilities on the deck for outdoor equipment like kites and boards, great amenities, a cooler for day trips, beautiful and comfortable furniture, emergency kits, kayaks, there is a shared pool and the grounds are kept beautifully. The manager is fantastic and always makes sure that all your needs are met. The location is fantastic! The beach is extremely safe and quiet. The water is calm and even on windier days, very safe for children. Never any undertow. The clarity is unmatched. There is a grocery store located 5 min away by car. It has everything you can imagine. Great vegan selection with amazing produce and beautiful fish and meat options. The prices are reasonable (we spend Christmas in Barbados, so the pricing TCI are much cheaper!)The shopping is right around the corner from the gourmet grocery store. Windhaven is amazing for kiters but is also perfect for non-kiters. It would be an ideal place for an intimate wedding. The grounds are beautiful and the beach, in my opinion, much nicer and appropriate for a wedding than Garce Bay. We have already booked for the next few years!!! It is that amazing.

“Perfect spot for family and friends” Loved my vacation at Windhaven. Beautiful grounds, stunning beachfront villas with cooling ocean breezes and a perfect soft sand beach that stretches for miles. Lots of space to lounge by the pool or in a hammock or on the beach decks. Ideal for paddling or kiting. I will be going back with friends and family.

“Villa Wayaka” My husband and I rented upstairs unit w/ sumptuous views--foreground of gardens, turquoise water beyond. We felt immediately at home w/ lovely accommodations and nice breezes. Small details were charming surprises, even the wonderfully fragrant aravatik soap. The compound grounds are so peaceful and charming, w/ buddhas next to the salt water pool, a short walk on a path through the jungle to the beach (where we windsurfed/kited, recovering on the sugary, white sand). Ritama thought of everything both outside and inside. During our stay we rented the downstairs, connecting unit for our adult daughter and her boyfriend. This was the way to go. They enjoyed privacy and the garden apt, as well as together time upstairs watching sunrises and sunsets. The staff were helpful in just the right way, leaving us to ourselves, but if we needed their input, they were there for us. Long Beach Bay--it is a miraculous place, not only to engage in water sports, but also to just veg out. The 3 mi. stretch has very few houses, and so few people--we only saw about 15 kiteboarders, a few horseback riders, and the occasional couple stroll by. No place like it---I should know, I've traveled the world widely...Long Beach Bay is special and Wayaka was just a perfect way to experience it. Definitely go there soon before it gets spoiled. It is a rare opportunity!

“Adventure Island, A true paradise lost” Impossible I said, to find a relatively island of this size with so few people in this day and age but here we were, on the island of Middle Caicos, the largest of the Turks and Caicos island but with only 300 residents. The pictures did not lie, the place was immaculate and luxurious and the white sand beach stretched for miles. We found even better beachs a few miles away at Cow Hill Bay where we had full access to calm waters everyday so as to try our skill at Kayaking and Paddleboarding. Fresh Fish and Lobster were readily available and while not the best in the world, I managed to get my share with the able assistance of our local guide, Ice Robinson of Conch Bar. This place is lost in time and should be put on an endangered list so as to protect it from development. I can't begin to fathom the difficulty in building this retreat in the middle of nowhere, but here it was... Central air, 10' ceilings, spacious accommodations awesomely decorated and the kitchen was huge and well equipped. The downside if you will was a 6-7 mile drive to the 2 local restaurants in Conch Bar or over to North Caicos where there were plenty to chose from. We took a day to explore North Caicos which was a nice ride across the causeway which had been recently restored but quickly returned to our tranquility and semi-private beaches. We saw only 30 people in a week and I think most were day trippers coming from Providenciales on the ferry. A day of fishing with Dolphus arthur and his sidekick Tboy is a must. The people are extremely friendly and the property manager, Mr Forbes were fabulous. We will be back but for a longer period of time because there is just too much to explore and enjoy. 1st timers need to hire a guide because the best treasures such as Cow Hill Bay, Half a Creek and the channel between Joe Grants Cay are not readily known or mapped out properly. As I said, Adventure Island, thankfully still lost in time.

“An amazing Trip!!” We stayed at the Captain's Suite for 9 days in January. The unit itself is clean, well maintained and extremely comfortable. The view is unbeatable from the balcony. The location was ideal as we were able to simply walk up the beach to multiple restaurants and open air bars. Upon check-in we were treated to a chilled bottle of champagne and a full bag of coffee. Hazlin was wonderful and very helpful during our stay. The only issue we had was that the internet never cooperated for us. We followed the instructions on restarting the system several times but never had any luck. We finally visited the main reception for the resort. The staff was kind enough to share the resort building wifi code with us.

“Relaxing stay” Gilles and Genevieve work very hard to make their guest feel comfortable and at home here! My boyfriend and I visited for a week and had a wonderful time. It is in a residential area close enough to the town center to bike, drive or take a long walk. A stunningly beautiful and private beach is just a short walk away. The whole property is only 2 years old, so everything is new and well maintained. Our hosts lived right next door and were always available to help w/questions and bookings (which was great because we didn't turn on our cell phones while traveling abroad). The wifi connection was great for us too. We rented a car for part of the week, but Gilles and Genevieve drove us a few places for incredibly reasonable rates while we were car-less. This is an incredible value overall! Having such gracious hosts made our stay that much more pleasant and special too. I would highly recommend staying here for your next trip to the island.
