My wife and I went to T&C; to dive so we wanted a conveniently located place to stay to serve as a base-camp---we also wanted nice views and a fully equipped kitchen to prepare meals. The house provided this and more: it is charming, comfortable, spacious, excellently located and the name of the house does justice to the views. The bed is firm and comfortable. And Barb is friendly, helpful and unobtrusive. If you are visiting T&C; to dive and don't need all of the peripherals of a resort, Villa Daisanadu is an excellent value.

We went to TCI for the first time with our 8-year-old son, and loved staying at Daisanadu. It was tucked away on a beautiful hill above Turtle Grove, and all the amenities are just as described, but better! The porch is something I will never forget, it runs the length of the house and sitting on it, enjoying the view and the peaceful surroundings was probably the highlight of our stay. We took a cab in and got perfect directions to the house from Barb. We then ordered a car from Hertz, and used it to explore the island. Barb was a great hostess, gave us a lot of privacy, and was there if we needed her. The apt. is much bigger than I expected, and the view from the bedroom is incredible too! The island breezes were enough for us, but there is a/C if you need it. We enjoyed the romance of the breezes, and lit candles every night in the living room, which doubled as a bedroom for our son. We plenty of space, and Barb had pulled out the sofa bed for us and had it all ready to go when we arrived. Barb gave us great beach towels, and had a few beach chairs, an umbrella, and floaties, a boogie board, sand toys, and coolers in the apt. for us to use. Turtle Cove is close by, has a great coffee shop/eatery, and lots of restaurant choices. We visited the resort's pools (Somerset pool is lovely). Many welcome non-residents. If you are looking for a home away from home in TCI, and appreciate privacy and charm, just a step away from Turtle Cove, you've found your place!

Terrific value for Provo. Great views from a private wrap-around deck. Very clean. Owner (Barb) was very helpful/available but low-key (they live upstairs but you would hardly know it given their own private entrance etc). Very good restaurants within walking distance as was a beatiful white sand beach (a few minutes by car...10 minute walk).

After reading numerous reviews we chose Villa Daisanadu as our vacation rental. We are now converts to self catering vacation rentals instead of the all-inclusive resorts. We found the location of Villa Daisanadu to be attractive to us. Tiki Hut and Sharkbite are nearby, within walking distance. The rental is well away from the beach resorts (we liked that aspect), you have a view of the marina and the ocean from the deck. One morning we woke up, made coffee, and contented ourselves watching th

My husband and I vacationed in Providenciales to celebrate his 50th birthday and we had an absolute fantastic time!!! This rental property is right up our alley...so very comfortable, quaint and private. Barb lives right upstairs, but you would never know she was around...except when we played our music just a little bit too loud, which I totally understand. It's a MUST to have a rental car...we explored the entire island and brought home some beautiful pictures. The "round abouts" and driving on the opposite side of the road took some getting used too...but there are no traffic lights. I have already recommended this rental home to some family and friends and Tommy and I hope to visit again in the near future. Thanks Barb for a delightful 8 days!!! Give Dolly and Butter a belly rub for us!! :)

We picked this as our place to stay based on all the awesome reviews that are on Trip advisor for it. Everything that was noted on these reviews were true. It was a fantastic place to stay - quiet, private, relaxing, beautiful decks to relax on, clean. It was a plus to be able to walk to restaurants and having a pre-paid cell phone to use. Barb is very friendly and enjoys helping her guests have a great time while they are visiting Provo.

My husband and I spent four nights at Villa Daisanadu during a dive trip to Provo. We were very pleased with the accommodations. We thought this apartment was the perfect spot for divers, and we would definitely rent it again. We cooked numerous meals in the well-equipped kitchen and had plenty of space on the deck to spread out our dive gear to dry it before returning home. We loved the views of the Marina and the water from the three decks. Barb, the owner, was very helpful to us before and throughout our trip. Staying at a non-beachfront location was worth it to have all the extra space and the great rental rate. The apartment is also incredibly convenient to Turtle Cove Marina, where we spent a lot of time at both the dive shop and the restaurants. I would not hesitate to recommend this rental to anyone and I hope my husband and I make it back someday!

My husband and I just returned from our stay at Villa Daisanadu, and words can't describe what a wonderful time we had! The Villa is perfectly located close to all of the activities in Turtle Cove and has easy access to a beautiful, and mostly secluded, beach with a great reef for snorkeling. The accommodations were perfect! We spent every morning for breakfast and many evenings for sunset on the balcony. We rented a car from Grace Bay Rentals, which was great as we could run all around the island, however we did spend a majority of our time in Turtle Cove. The restaurants in Turtle Cove are wonderful, especially Sharkbite...get the Shark Attack wings if you love hot sauce!! Their cracked conch is also the best on the island. Barb was a wonderful hostess and provided great recommendations! I would highly recommend this location to anyone, and can't wait to make my next trip back!!

I'm sad to be home. I miss Villa Daisanadu and I miss the Island. This was by far the best vacation we've ever taken! Villa Daisanadu is perfectly located; away from the big hotels and just a few minutes away from one of the most beautiful beaches on the Island. The apartment is perfect for two and can easily accommodate four. The view from the bedroom was quite a sight to wake up to every morning. Breathtaking. The apartment is fully equipped, clean and comfortable. We cooked breakfast every morning, and only ate out twice. The kitchen is fully equipped. After our sunbathing sessions (at the beach); we'd come "home" and hang out on the porch, sip on bloody mary's, check out the view and listen to some tunes. Perfection. The nearest beach is an 8 minute walk (Princess Alexandria). Most of the time my husband and I were the only one's in sight. The beach is pristine. Coral white sand...and teal blue ocean. I hate to gush but this was truly a very memorable vacation. We never went into "town" aka Grace Bay. We didn't have to. Everything we needed/wanted was at the Villa. Barb, thanks for sharing your home with us. You've thought of everything to make a home away from home. We'll be back! Just a couple of recommendations for those of you that plan to visit. Call Sunny when you need a taxi; Barb has his number programmed in the cell phone she provides with the apartment (an excellent and handy perk). He's a gentlemen and very helpful. Check out Sapodilla Bay. Spend a whole day there. Enjoy the Island for it's beauty!

Guest: Joel S. (Portland, OR)
Date of Stay: 03/07/11 Review Submitted: 03/16/11

Let me get my nitpicks out of the way...first I'd recommend renters to bring their own snorkel gear as the gear at the rental is very hit and miss...much of it was broken or didn't work properly. We ended up renting some of our own. Also renters are supplied with 1 set of bath towels for the week, so I'd recommend bringing some laundry soap to wash the towels midway through the week. Other than that, the rental is great. The porch is amazing, with a great view of the marina and of the Atlantic, and nice seating to have any of your meals, and a few nice sun beds to read a book or take a nap. The location is very central...15 driving minutes max to any of the beaches such as sapodilla bay, taylor bay or Long Bay...5 to 6 driving minutes to Grace Bay. Smith Reef which has very nice snorkeling was only 2 driving minutes away. Turtle Cove marina which has some fun restaurants and a coffee shop was 1 driving minute away. Inside the rental is clean and nice. The kitchen is small but efficient. We cooked several dinners, made all of our breakfasts, and most of our lunches in the kitchen and it worked just fine. There is plenty of ice to fill the cooler when you head to the beach. The bed is big and comfortable. The wifi worked great. The owner's dogs are friendly. There is Air conditioning in the bedroom, but we found that we hardly needed it, as the island's breezes just about always cool the house enough if you leave the windows open. Overall...I would say the rental is clean, comfortable, and in a great location.

Owner response:Thanks for your input, Joel. We have replaced the snorkel equipment. Barb

When you rent a place, you hope it is as good as they say. Well, Daisanadu was better than advertised! The owner greeted us upon our arrival and gave us a quick tour, pointing out things we should know. Everything you could want was there for us - coolers, beach chairs & umbrellas, corkscrews, saran wrap, pots and pans, cutting board, beach towels, scissors, etc. She thought of everything. We are already planning our trip back to the island next year and would no want to stay anywhere else!

We stayed at Daisanadu in Feb 2011. Our first impression was how clean the apartment was. It is located within walking distance to restaurants, the beach, car rental, snorkeling but we really enjoyed having a car to see the rest of the island. There always seems to be a breeze blowing so the bedroom A/C was needed only rarely. Nice views from the decks! We spent many hours searching for our accommodations for Turks and Caicos and feel that Daisanadu is a great spot at a great price.

My husband and I recently returned from our wonderful stay at Villa Daisanadu. Great value, view, ambiance. This was our 3rd trip to Provo and we wanted to stay away from the typical resort and this was perfect. We enjoyed our coffee in the morning out on our private porch with great view and always had a breeze. We loved exploring the island (cars are expensive to rent, but well worth the independence of getting anywhere you want). Take the road to Amanyara and Malcolm's beach...fun! Barb and Martin were wonderful hosts and so were Dolly and Butter. I brought cookies and spoiled them, so they were my buddies for the week, as I was missing mine at home. This truly feels like a home away from home. My husband fished and I found a great spot with shade at Coral Gardens to snorkel and beach hang. There is a bar there "Somewhere" for food and great rum punches and clean bathrooms. A wonderful vacation was had by all!!! Hope to be back soon.

Third time to Turks Caicos and each time is better and better. My husband and I wanted to have an true Turks Caicos living experience and not stay in a resort atmosphere...we were so happy to be at Villa Daisanadu. Very cozy with a gorgeous view and in a great location of Turtle Cove with 3 great places to eat and a new wonderful coffee shop. You can walk to Turtle Cove Marina, but we chose to drive, especailly at night being so dark. House sits up on a hill for view, but has a long driveway. Barb has hairdryers and everything you need for a vacation. Very quiet location and mornings sipping coffee out on the front porch with shade and view is great...even get wifi out there! Also side porch for sunning. Total privacy from owners quarters also. It is truely an affordable and adorable place to reside for a week or two. We hope to be back soon again! Found a good beach spot at Coral Gardens with shade and "Somewhere" beach bar for rum punches and they have clean bathrooms too! Butter and Dolly were a plus also!! Nice to be greated when we got back and Butter kept me company on the porch sometimes, as I bribed her with treats.

My boyfriend and I just returned from staying at the Million Dollar View. It was amazing!!! We enjoyed breathtaking views from the private shaded deck. We don't do well in the heat so we hung out on the shaded deck in the mornings and relaxed, ate lunch, then grabbed the snorkeling gear and headed to the beach in the early afternoon. In the evenings we'd relax, watch some TV, and cook dinner. The full service kitchenette made eating on the island affordable. (Bars and restaurants are a short walk away for those wishing to indulge). Bring comfy tennis shoes and you can walk almost anywhere. Taxis are pricey. Barb was a great host. She let us ride along to the grocery store and gave us a tour of nearby attractions (beach, video store, car rental, restaurants). She knows the island well and gave us great advice on where to eat and shop. We hope to be back some day.

What can i say. This place is amazing. We stayed the first week at a resort in Grace Bay and the second week here at Villa Daisandu. The first week was great but we really enjoyed the Villa so much more. Barb and Martin are great and the place is really well kept. The views are amazing and you really feel like you are away from the tourist bustle- which is really nice for us coming from the city. It was great for diving as i could just walk down the street 2 mins in the morning to go diving with the dive company at the marina. The place is really great. Oh and we loved it so much here that we got engaged. I thoroughly recommend this place to anyone.

From the spectacular view to the proximity to the beach and other conveniences, Villa Daisanadu was the perfect vacation site. The owners were helpful but never intrusive. It was like having our own well appointed home on this tropical paradise. The most difficult decision of our day was whether to have morning coffee on the shaded porch or the sunny side deck. It was a short, easy walk to the restaurants at the marina or to the gorgeous white sand beach. It’s simply impossible to imagine a better way to start or end a day than enjoying the island breezes while looking out at the ocean and spectacular native landscape from the private deck. The photos are gorgeous but the reality is even better. We look forward to enjoying another vacation at the Villa soon.

We just finished a week long vacation to Providenciales, TCI. We spent the first six nights at Villa Daisanadu and the seventh night at the Veranda. Barb (the owner of Daisanadu) was extremely helpful and timely when it came to inquiries and booking her villa. When we arrived she was there to greet us and was very helpful in explaining all the little details of the rental. She then gave us a tour of the turtle cove area as well as showed us where the beaches were and some lovely restaurants. The beach is about a 10 minute walk from the property and is absolutely beautiful. The white sand and turquoise water looked like they would be on a postcard and not a single other person on the beach! The turtle cove area is mainly villas and it was extremely nice to be away from the congested resort beaches. The walk to and from the beach also happens to pass right by the Tiki Hut bar and restaurant which is one of the more reasonably priced places to stop for a snack or a quick drink. We ate in at the villa three of the nights and ate out the other three. The wrap around deck also provides for some beautiful ocean views and a wonderful view of the turtle cove marina. There is also a lovely spot outside to sunbathe and have a BBQ. As far as value, the price of this rental is superb for all of the amenities that are included. Barb provides a cell phone, many small things that would be a pain to purchase if only on a short vacation (ie condiments, dish soap, etc). If your planning on going to the Turks and Caicos and are looking for an affordable place this is definitely it!!! Thanks again Barb for everything!!

Most people think a vacation is how much one can see or do in the time allotted. We tend to think it's spending quality time together in a place where we can just be ourselves. At Villa Daisanadu, our vacation started the minute we opened the front door. The decor is fresh, clean, well laid out, and roomy. The website pics show you what you can expect. The bedroom felt like an oasis of rest, complete with view. The comfy big bed was the favoured spot to unwind under the cooling fan or to a blast of aircon, all while remenising about the days adventures. Every room was stocked with unexpected treasures. The bathroom had full shampoo and conditioner, cream, sunscreen, etc. We enjoyed bright fluffy towels both bath size and beach size. The kitchen was stocked with condiments, spices, oil, and even wrap for left overs. We've done vrbo's before and this was far and beyond the best one we've stayed in. Barb is as helpful a host as you'll come across and if she doesn't make you laugh or smile, well you're just not in vacation mode. hehe The Turtle Cove area was very central on the Island with lots of amenities. The marina has a personality of its own, lots of boating and fishing business', some waterside restaurants, and boardwalks to enjoy a stroll. Not much further and you are at the beach, one end of the famous Grace Bay beach. This end is quiet, and is lined with lovely homes. The snorkelling there, which we did as often as we could was fantastic, and only a few feet off the shore. I was amazed at how often we came back and forth to our homebase and just chilled on the deck, read, took countless photos of the gardens, dogs, geckos, etc. and still had time to head out again for another beach walk or dinner and a sunset. We did use a car and found it useful to fully explore Provo. We loved the privacy that was awarded us but still enjoyed interacting with our hosts if and when our paths crossed. Some final food for thought. Ice cubes and ice cream melted in what seemed like seconds and my glasses steamed up getting OUT of the car, all this is in reverse of Central BC, Canada, where we call home. We live on a lake and it is beautiful but after only a week back home we still wish we were drinking our morning coffee on the big blue deck, listening for the first plane to leave and making plans for another great day together. This vacation surpassed all our expectations and staying at Villa Daisanadu was a big part of making that happen. Thanks Barb & Martin

We have just returned from our first vacation rental experience, and our third trip, in the Turks & Caicos Islands. Although we were hesitant to stay outside of a hotel, friends had sworn by the vacation rental experience and recommended we try it ourselves. Going by photos (numerous, lovely), reviews (glowing), and cost (ofcourse) we chose Daisanadu. The experience was more than excellent. All correspondence was responded to promptly. Any questions were answered fully. All concerns were addressed completely. On arrival, we were pleased to find the property was as nice as shown in the photos (if not nicer, as the panorama is difficult to capture in one photo, and boy did we try!!!) and the apartment was comfortable, clean and well-appointed. Better than that, we felt like we were in a home-away-from-home, immediately at ease, relaxed and in vacation-mode. The apartment was stocked with all the comforts of home, tv, wi-fi, great bed, nice linens. In addition, we found some things we had not expected like paper towels, condiments, charcoal for the bbq. Maps and quide books were also provided. The house is within walking distance of so many things that we actually regretted having rented a car for the full week, but did use it to drive around and see the island and to go to Sapodilla Bay one day. The beach access by the house has some great snorkeling and was beautiful and virtually empty. We are now vacation rental converts and would recommend Daisanadu to anyone.

The house is easy to find by car and an easy walk to restaurants and activities in Turtle Cove. The main tourist area at Grace Bay is only a few minutes' drive away, as are grocery stores. We loved the apartment, with a fully-equipped kitchen, comfortable sitting area, and very nice king-sized bed. All were very clean. Both A/C and ceiling fans are available depending on your tastes and the weather. The outside deck is lovely and we enjoyed relaxing there for the breeze and the view. At the end of each day, we sat outside and uploaded photos to the web over the included wi-fi internet. Perfect! Overall, we were extremely pleased with the accommodation and the excellent value offered, and won't hesitate to book it again when we return.

My husband and I stayed at Villa Daisanadu and had the most relaxing vacation of our lives. If you are looking at a few different rentals on this site, trying to decide... STOP, this is the place you should be! It has all the comforts of home on a tropical island. The Villa was immaculate, and the owners Barb and Martin really went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed. This was our first visit to the Turks and Caicos Islands. We are huge foodies and weren't sure what the restaurants were going to be like, but they well surpassed our expectations... Coco Bistro, Coyaba, O'Soliel and Lemon were our favorites. We are looking forward to our next visit to Providenciales and will definitely stay at Villa Daisanadu!

Wonderful Stay in Turks and Caicos!

We have vacationed in Turks and Caicos for four holidays over a period of 15 years. For this vacation, we were looking for a pied-à-terre on this beautiful island where we could live as locals, making our own breakfasts and lunches and have the luxury of trying different restaurants on the island for dinners. The photos provided were very accurate - the bedroom was outfitted with hotel-like linens and a very comfortable bed, lots of closet space and beautiful views; the living room has a beautiful sitting area, small library of great holiday reads, iPod docking station/stereo, flat-screen tv and a small eating area; the kitchen, although small, has everything you might need - full fridge, oven, microwave and you are provided with a large container of filtered water cooling in the fridge along with lots of ice; the bathroom is large and very clean (linens provided) with shower stall (great water pressure!). We enjoyed our very own wrap-around porch with loungers and deck chairs and beautiful views. We were within walking distance of restaurants in Turtle Cove and a very short hop to beautiful beaches! My husband and I would highly recommend this spot for a vacation. Barb (the owner) gave us many wonderful recommendations on restaurants and excursions and was always available for any question. Barb and her husband Martin were wonderful hosts in that for the 10 days of our stay we felt that the place was our own to cherish. The property is secluded, quiet and very safe - it was a great addition to our list of stays in Turks and Caicos!

My wife and I stayed at Villa Daisanadu for 4 days. I have nothing but good things to say about this place. Its in a central location, close to restaurants, Grace Bay, rental car places and the Marina. The apartment is comfortable, clean and stylishly appointed. We felt like we had the run of the place and the owners Barb and Martin were close by to attend to our needs and questions. You can't find a better value for your money, with the quality of accomidations provided to you. There is room for you and the kids. I would stay here again, when we come back to the Turks.

I stayed at the Villa Daisanada (Million Dollar View) in Turtle Cove and had a spectacular time. The view was great and the apartment was super clean, very roomy and comfortable. The pictures posted are recent and show exactly what you are getting, but it's even better in person. The owners were very friendly and helpful. Was within walking distance of the marina, shops and restaurants in Turtle Cove. I have the most relaxing vacation that I've had in a while thanks to the pleasant apartment and host. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone. You won't be disappointed.

I walked into a beautiful, spotless apartment and knew my vacation was going to be a good one. The kitchen was great, the bathroom was roomy and the bedroom was awesome with a huge king size bed, beautiful linens and plenty of closet space. Everything I needed was there. But the very large private deck overlooking the marina was the highlight!!! I spent many hours out there reading, sipping a drink and taking in the view. I loved the privacy but was so close to Turtle Cove I could go there and eat, drink and socialize. Barb and her two dogs, Dolly and Butter were fantastic. For a large spacious apartment, a gorgeous view and close to Turtle Cove this place was a BARGAIN!!

We were thrilled with our new vacation spot find! Villa Daisanadu is a beautiful spot with a gorgeous view in a very convenient location. The owners were helpful but behind the scenes. We have rebooked for next year.

Beautiful Spot

My wife and I just returned from our second trip to Provo. We had stayed at The Seven Stars on our last trip, but wanted someplace away from the Grace Bay "scene" this time. When we contacted the owner and asked about the weather this time of year (April), she told us Spring was the nicest time of year here, but to expect hotter weather than our last visit in November. We are from Phoenix, so heat doesn't bother us. Except for one day, we had beautiful weather, with some of the best snorkeling we have ever had. Again, the owner was helpful in showing us spots and suggesting what time of day to go, etc. Her suggestions for restaurants were also right on the money. We had a great lunch at The Vix, dinner at Amanyara and a nice night out at the Wine Bar. The apartment was great. Clean, nicely appointed with good a/c (we appreciate that in Phoenix), close to the beach and casual restaurants. The view is great. Dolly and Butter, by now famous on VRBO, were welcome deckside companions. An impromptu mango margarita test session on the new sun deck, was one of the highlights of the trip. Besides the great price, the Daisanadu rental experience is recommended if you want a "local's" perspective on how to get more out of your vacation than just going to the beach (although this would be ok too). We have recommended Daisanadu to friends who are traveling here in May and would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone else.

My family and I stayed at Villa Daisanadu from March 10th - 17th in 2010 and it was our first time to Provo. Everything at the villa was simply amazing. The place is so well maintained and clean, and it was in the perfect location. We rented a car to travel to some of the other beaches on the island but this place was within walking distance to everything you need. We especially enjoyed being so close to turtle cove where by walking 2 mins (downhill) you could get to some great restaurants for dinner or lunch. Also staying here was great because there were amazing views from the porch and it was very relaxing to sit out there and just watch the ocean and marina. Overall it was perfect because you are very close to everything, yet you are just far enough away to have a peaceful place. Thank you again very much for welcoming us into your home and I will definitely return there in the future! Briana

We stayed at Villa Daisanadu from Jan 13th to Jan 20th 2010. This was our third trip to Providenciales. We always rent a car so the location was not a big issue for us, however we did walk down to Turtle cove and it truly is a 2 minute walk and yes it's downhill. The beach is where we spent most of our time, so the chairs, umbrella, towels and cooler that the villa provides was perfect. The next best place was the deck, the chairs are very comfy, the view is great, Dolly and Butter are the best.... I even brought them treats from home... The apartment was comfortable and clean and priced accordingly.

We just spent 11 days at Daisanadu and found this to be an excellent rental property, especially given the price. While it's not right on the beach, the view is amazing and it is only a short walk to gorgeous Grace Bay, as well as a handful of great restaurants at Turtle Cove. While most guests would likely rent a car, we had no problem without one and enjoyed walking around this beautiful area. Barb is super-helpful and the pictures on VRBO accurately relect the accomodations. This is an awesome apartment and clearly, the logical alternative to staying in one of those massive "condotels" at the beach. Daisanadu is quiet, private and has every amenity we could have possibly needed during our relaxing vacation!

We spent a lovely week at Villa Daisanadu in January. It was everything it purported to be and more! Inexpensive and gorgeous! The proof may not in these comments, but in an anecdote we'd like to share: We were renting while a major US retailer was doing a photo shoot on the property. The crew, who are experienced and have traveled the world themselves, were completely blown away by the location, especially the view. A few asked to see the apartment and were very impressed, so much so that one of them actually booked the apartment for later in the summer. It really is nice, but you should just come see for yourself. Thanks Barb for being a great hostess and sharing your gorgeous home with us. We hope to be back next year! Lola & Mark xoxox

My boyfriend and I spent a lovely week here. The apartment was comfortable and clean. The deck was private and relaxing. The view was gorgeous. Everything we need was really close by. We would highly recommend it to anyone who doesn't mind not being right on the beach, but doesn't want to skimp on any other amenities.

Lovely home, immaculate accommodation, beautiful view, relaxing vacation! This was our fifth visit to Provo and, thus far, THE BEST VISIT. Daisanadu is one of the most charming homes I have ever had the pleasure of visiting, and so conveniently located. We look forward to returning next December.

I am a man of few words, but I will say this: Daisanadu was very nice and far better value then other rentals on Provo. I know this because we checked out some other comparatively priced rental units while we were on island. Many of these were over-glorified in their VRBO descriptions. I would say that Daisanadu is under-glorified, but this is not a real word. In any case, you know what I mean. If you like throwing your money in the garbage, you should pick a rental other than Daisanadu. If, like us, you prefer to spend your money on other things (airfare, car rental, food or beer) you should stay here. The End. And my wife wants me to write that the dogs were really cute and the colours were pretty. This is all true, so I will put it on record.

Better than the pictures! Our 2 week stay at Villa Daisanadu was peaceful and replenishing. Barb has created a "home away from home" feeling. It could not have been more comfortable. And the view!! The best! It's great to be away from the resorts. A real vacation. Thanks again Barb for your advice and your discretion. We will be back.

Great vacation spot! Apartment was spotless and comfy, owners quiet and helpful. Close to the beach and all the bars, but chances are you won't want to leave the deck. We got a lot of use out of the blender and lounge chairs. Photos don't capture how panoramic the view really is. We loved it and would highly recommend.

What can I say that has not already been said! Villa Daisanadu is a great place to hang your hat in Turks and Caicos. The location is excellent-right in the middle of the island and within walking distance of several restaurants and a very short drive to the beach and Smith's reef. The suite is nice with a beautiful view and is extremely quiet. It is spotless and comes fully equipped and we especially loved having a cooler, beach chairs and umbrella for excursions around the island. Coming home at night with a welcome from Dolly and Butter is really a treat-great dogs that are really very quiet. Barb is a wonderful host-very helpful with a great sense of humor. We had an unfortunate experience elsewhere on the island and Barb was amazing-she did everything possible to support and help us out. Above and beyond the call of duty I would say. Both my husband and I would highly recommend you try Villa Daisanadu on your next visit to Provo.
