Year Purchased: 2001
Why the Owner Chose Grace Bay
The place to be on Providenciales is Grace Bay Beach. To be able to get up every morning and sip your coffee on the beachfront terrace and go for a beach walk and swim before starting your day. And then later in the day, watch the sun set over Grace Bay while sipping a cool glass of wine.
I purchased this condo directly from the developer before any suites were offered for sale to the general public. As a result, I was able to secure a preferred suite in a preferred location in the beachfront building, directly overlooking the beach .... one of the very best suites in the entire resort, with panoramic beach and ocean views, and spectacular sunsets every evening.
The Unique Benefits at this Condo
The upper floors of the beachfront building is the best place to be at Royal West Indies Resort. It is the only building located directly on the beach and the only building offering full 180 degree panaromic and unobstructed views of Grace Bay Beach. The ocean views from suites in all other buildings at RWI are substantially blocked by the beachfront building and resort landscaping.
The Calabash Suite is situated on what is considered to be the best stretch of beach on Grace Bay, within easy walking distance to many of Provo's finest restaurants, bars, shopping, golf course, and Casablanca Casino ...... it doesn't get any better!
Owner's Map of Grace Bay
I first travelled to Providenciales in 1995 and loved the Island, it's people, and the relaxed, laid back lifestyle. Six months later I relocated to Provo and purchased my perfect Island hideaway ..... which I now make available for you to enjoy!

What a place - the location, the facilities, the resort. We could not find fault with this rental. Steps from the most wonderful beach, our favourite time was the sunset, and watching this from the terrace. Everything that was stated about the Turks and Caicos and in particular this condo is absolutely true. I don't normally respond to feedback requests but felt I had to on this occasion. Fantastic restaurants, within walking distance. Boat/catamaran trips were great, and very good value for money. Snorkelling is amazing at Coral Gardens. I highly recommend this apartment and the Turks and Caicos Islands.
Owner response:Thanks for your comments Diana, and we're glad you enjoyed your vacation at The Calabash Suite.

This condo was everything you could possibly want. The view of the sunsets were mesmerizing. The condo is located right on the beach. We had access to kayaks, bicycles as well as the Hobbie Cats. We used everything. The small town is located within walking distance and there are many wonderful restaurants to enjoy. We enjoyed Thai, Italian and seafood. Magnolias is a great place to also watch the sunset (but it is just as beautiful from the condo). It is best to make reservations at some of the larger restaurants during the busy season. The condo was well equipped and extremely clean. I would definitely recommend the condo and would love to come back. There were 4 of us and even though there was a pull out sofa, we managed just fine.

This condo was absolutely perfect! There were 4 of us that stayed and enjoyed every minute of it. The description is dead on. We had the most magnificent view day and night. The sunsets were amazing. We took full advantage of the kayaking and sailing as well as the biking. It is located close enough to the little town for us to have walked to dinner at night. There were so many wonderful restaurants from Italian, Thai and seafood. There were a few we took a taxi to and Gloria's taxi service was great. She is a wonderful lady and was always prompt. I would highly recommend this condo and the staff at the resort were friendly and helpful.

Just returned from our second stay at the beautiful Calabash Suite. We are already planning our return trip. The suite is absolutely the best. The owner is so easy to work with and very professional, even left us two bottles of wine as a welcome gift. The condo has everything you need and more. The art work is beautiful. The deck and the view is outstanding. He has great flat screen TV's and a great sound system too. We loved the secure internet and never had a problem with that. Also a phone is available for free to call home. We had friends and family also stay at the RWI and I have to say this suite beat them all! We have really fallen in love with Turks and Caicos and the RWI but mostly with the Calabash Suite. Thanks to Andrew for another wonderful trip.

This Condo is MORE than the owner says it is. Beautifully equipped and What a View. So wonderful to have breakfast on the beautiful deck. The Diving in T&C is great, saw sharks on every dive. We have been all over the Caribbean and this is the best, calm, turquoise, clear water. Andrew has everything completely organized. So nice. And what a beautiful condo. We truly enjoyed this vacation and will definitely be back.

The Calabash Suite is a wonderful condo with a very well equipped kitchen, comfortable bedroom, fluffy soft bath linens, and best of all a fantastic view. We loved watching the sunsets from the balcony. The listing is completely accurate. We appreciated that the owner is very organized in providing guests with all of the necessary practical information both prior to arrival and in the unit as well. The Royal West Indies resort has lovely lush landscaping throughout the property making it delightful to spend time by the pools as a change from the beach. All in all a terrific holiday rental. We'll be back!

We spent an amazing week at the Calabash Suite. The condo is wonderfully appointed with all of the comforts of home. The views from the balcony were literally priceless. We couldn't have asked for a better place to spend our honeymoon week. The owner was very responsive about booking and communicating information to us before our stay. We can not think of one negative thing to say about our stay.

The Calabash Suite was the perfect spot for a laid back, comfortable vacation. The resort staff were wonderful, and the suite more than met all of our needs. It was clean, well decorated and roomy enough for 2 adults and a child. We cooked most of our meals, and the kitchen was well stocked with anything and everything you could possibly need. The view and the proximity to the beach is as good as it gets! A few questions came up during our trip, and Andrew did a great job responding to our questions immediately making us feel even more comfortable. We will be booking this suite again!!

The condo the Calabash suite was so much more then we ever expected. The condo is beautiful and everything is perfect from the minute you open the door. The building is the best in the whole resort.The views of the beach, water and the sunsets are amazing. We used the beautiful balcony every morning and every evening.The AC is great. The owner has thought of many details down to the plush towels in the bathroom and the lovely artwork through out. The kitchen is very well appointed. There was nothing we needed. Many channels on the TV and a beautiful sound system. The resort is great. Friendly people all around. The restaurant on site is very nice. I want to say to book this condo and communicate with the owner was great. Andrew helped us in many ways and made us feel very comfortable during our stay. I have to admit I am very picky when it comes to hotel/condo accommodations.I also have to say there was nothing to be picky about with this condo. It had it all and we will definately be returning.

This was our 7th trip to Provo and our second stay at the Calabash and we loved every second of it. It was a perfect vacation. The accomdations are totally upgraded and the ice maker saved a few trips to IGA for ice and that was quite a luxury. It had all the luxuries of home with a bonus of a beautiful sunset thrown in every night. I have been busy sending emails through Trip Advisor to people wanting to see pictures. They told me they booked because of all my raving about the Calabash. I think it is time I keep this beautiful gem to myself or I will not be able to get reservations. You can easily spend 3 times the amount of money on other accomodations and you would not get what the Calabash has to offer. The location is perfect. Andrew makes the transaction a breeze. We are going to book June 2011. We cannot wait to go back and wished we had booked it for longer. Dan and Mary Ellen Veshela
