“Absolutely the best of everything” My husband and I are finishing our last night at the condo and it is bittersweet. One of my favorite pastimes has been to watch the tour boats come into the marina before sunset, from our porch, the music playing after a hard day's work. In the morning they head out so silently for a day on the seas. We took the island vibes tours and it was great fun with snorkeling, isolated beach, and rum runners. The beauty of this spot is that it is ten minutes from Grace Bay where all of the big resorts are located but it is nice to come home to the peace and tranquility of the marina. There are several restaurants within walking distance fior dinner so no worries about a cocktail and then driving. The grounds of the condo are very well kept and the pool is clear and refreshing. Ken, the security guard in the evening, has been at the resort for many years and is a deeply religious man who takes his job very seriously....so sleep tight you are in good hands. Okay, backed to the condo: all of the amenities you could want, washer, dryer, dishwasher, microwave, etc...you name it.

“Brilliantly friendly place in an excellent location” We spent 2 weeks in La Casita, 2 adults and 2 children under 5, rented the ground floor apartment, which is at the front of the property, facing east. The room was spacious enough for the spare bed and the baby cot and there was plenty of storage for our clothes, toiletries and other things. The room was equipped with tv, Wi-Fi, fridge, high powered microwave, kettle and cutlery/plates. All beds had netting over them and the room had aC as well as a ceiling fan. The bathroom had a great shower and two basins, which was very handy with two kids around. The hot water seem to never run out, which is handy when the whole family has 2 showers a day. There was a brand new soap in the bathroom as well as kitchen towels and insect repellent. The veranda was enclosed, perfect for late night drinks without the night bugs, and sunny breakfasts in the morning. We had 2 beach chairs, a beach umbrella and kids' beach toys at our disposal. There was a bbq, mini electric stove and pots for us to use. The pool was well kept and very pleasant. The best beach on Earth was literally 5 minute walk away from the house, so if you want to pop back to the house for something you don't need a 30 minute round trip. La Casita is located in the safe Leeward area of the island, a quiet and guarded residential area, a far difference from the hustle and bustle of the busy resorts, yet close enough to town if you wanted to eat out. If you walk about 10 minutes on the beach you end up at a resort beach (which are still public), you can walk into their restaurant for a lovely meal. The hosts were very accommodating, approachable and friendly. At the time of booking they were more than happy to answer any of my questions, and I had a lot of them, and they did not disappoint. I have already recommended La Casita to a friend, who booked a week in September. I would not hesitate to recommend this friendly, quiet and lovely place to anybody.

“Just the best vacation ever” We originally rented the 1 bedroom apt but were upgraded by our lovely host to the 2 bedroom. The apt was spacious with 2 baths, all the kitchen equipment you would need, a washer/ dryer and wifi. We were able to walk to the beach within 3 minutes or with our rental car explore all the other glorious beaches on the island. Our first night we walked to the famous "conch shack" for traditional cracked conch-yum. Other nights we cooked in after gathering supplies at the well stocked local IGa or tried a few of the marvelous local restaurants for the rum punches and sunsets. I really appreciated the quiet simplicity of the old beach house which really is a misnomer. Emma,our host, was so helpful with island information and willingly answered so many questions. She treated us to papayas off the trees just outside our room and made us feel welcome and comfortable in so many ways. I can't wait to come back.

“Trip of a lifetime!” Leanne, I just wanted to thank you so much for helping make our vacation the best ever!! Coral Gardens is truly a hidden gem, much nicer for the island in my estimation than the big high rise type developments that seem to be over running the island. The grounds and the building are beautiful, not run down at all like some of the trip adviser comments we read, and we found the entire facility to be so charming, well kept, and very friendly. The beach was never crowded, and we met some wonderful people that shared the same sentiments: clean, friendly, well kept and not crowded!! I don't think there were ever any more than 20 people on the beach at any given time, and Jerome always had a sun shelter for us! You weren't kidding when you said there was no better view on the island; our room had the view that you would expect to see on a postcard! Coral Garden's exceeded my wife expectations, so I couldn't be happier: "happy wife, happy life" I always say! With Coral Garden's location on Provo, we were able to walk the beach at night to some of the finest restaurants, we were not aware that the dining would be as world class as it was. The Bay Bistro was unbelievable, and only took the most beautiful 20 minute walk under the stars to get there! We cannot wait to return, and the kids have already set up the "Coral Garden's saving jar" on the counter. I have to wonder if people from Canada know that West Jet has direct flights from Toronto. This was a major factor for us traveling with 3 children: there in 4 hrs. With no connecting flights, the travel was fantastic. And Jerome is everything people said and then some! He always made you feel so welcome, and was so good with the kids. Save a spot on the beach for us next year Jerome, we are definitely planning to return soon.

“Total comfort and very enjoyable, beach paradise.” We had visited Turks several years ago for our 25th anniversary and found the island a beautiful beach lover's paradise. We returned for a week recently and chose The Old Beach House for our accommodations. We where not disappointed at all, in fact staying here was head over heels better than staying in a resort with the crowds. The residence shared by Emma and Roger was extremely comfortable, clean and spacious. Past experience had taught us that a car was definitely a luxury if you wanted to see other parts of the island and venture out for dinner or groceries. The home owners definitely made sure you where comfortable and provided guidance to some of the lesser seen adventures on the island. Although there was a beach within a couple minute walk from your door we also took full advantage of the plentiful and extremely beautiful public access spots all along Grace Bay. While having a place to prepare meals came in handy we also enjoyed some local fare on numerous occasions. One of our fondest memories and special treat where the fresh eggs supplied by Emma's chickens. We hope to be returning asap and this is going to be our first choice of accommodations.
