How do I get from the airport to the beach villa?

We can refer you to a reliable taxi service to take your from the airport to the villa if you are not renting a car.

Should I rent a car?

Renting a car is recommended so you can explore the other parts of the island during your stay. Rental car companies will escort you in their courtesy vehicles from the airport to their car lots and you can get your rental car from them.

What happens when I get to the beach villa?

You will be greeted by our personal representative who will give you a tour of the villa and answer any questions you may have.

Is the drinking water safe?

The beach house drinking water is safe to drink. You will not need to purchase bottled water.

Does the villas have air conditioning?

Yes, and unlike many other villa rentals we provide it for you AT NO EXTRA CHARGE. We only ask that you use it only when you need it, and turn it off when you don’t or are not in the villa.

We also ask that you use water sparingly as it is a very precious and expensive commodity here in the Turks and Caicos Islands. Electricity is also very expensive and we ask your consideration in turning off lights that are not needed.

Are Passports required for entry into the Turks and Caicos?

Vistors from the US are reminded that effective from Janaury 8, 2007, all US citizens visiting the Caribbean must be in possession of a valid US passport.

All visitors arriving via international flights and connecting to any of our other islands through Providenciales must first clear immigration and customs and claim baggage at Provo (PLS) before making the connection flight through the domestic departure area at the Provo Airport (PLS).

Is there a telephone?

Yes there are telephones in the villa. They are for local calls only. We suggest that you purchase calling card in one of the local offices, or use a credit card. Wireless internet access with your own computer is FREE. If your computer is not wireless there are internet cafes on island where you can go and get internet access for a fee.

What should I do on my last day in the villa?

Check out time is by 11:00 AM. This is necessary so we can clean and prepare the villa for the next guests. Please leave the keys on the kitchen counter in the kitchen and our representative will get them. Please contact us if you have a late flight and want to stay in the villa for a few extra hours if it is available. We can come to some type of price you can pay if the villa is not rented that same day.

What happens if I have to cancel, arrive later, or leave earlier than I planned?

Our cancellation policy is 21 days prior to arrival. If you have to arrive later or leave earlier than you expected we are unable to refund any monies as there is no guarantee that we can rent the villa again on such short notice. We also cannot be held accountable for any airline delays in your arrival or departure times. We recommend that you look into obtaining travel cancellation insurance.
