A Secluded Mediterranean Villa in the Heart of Turtle Tail

This was our third rental in Turks and Caicos and was our favourite. As mentioned in other reviews, the house itself is large and comfortable.. No villas on either side makes it quiet and private. The indoor-outdoor kitchen is a nice design as the cook is not separated from family sitting out enjoying the spectacular view. Separate guest house is a really nice feature. In our case my daughter, her husband and their 7 month old baby were comfortably accommodated and a crib was provided.

The interior layout is also thought through with the master bedroom at one end of the building and two bedrooms at the other end. All the bedrooms have their own ensuite bath which is great when you are travelling with three teenagers! They also have their AC although we didn't really need it.

There are sitting areas and loads of books and DVDs if you need evening entertainment.

I love to cook so I appreciated the fully equipped kitchen. Often vacation rentals have a so so kitchen set up with a few mixing bowls, no oven mitts and dull knives. Not this one. Knives were sharp, multiple cutting boards, two full sets of dishes for 10, a top notch blender etc. Pantry was also well stocked with spices, olive oil, vinegar etc. And you can stand at the sink and look out the large picture window at the ocean.

Washer and dryer are a good standard and the washer is so large you can do everything in one load.

Island Escapes is great to deal with - fast communication, mid week maid service and pool maintenance and available instantly if you have any questions. We had them do a grocery shop for us so that on arrival we could just settle in and not have to turn around and go shopping. Thank you Dineesh and Faye for all your help.

Obviously you need a rental car but nothing in Provo is far away. The resorts on the north east side of the island are a 15 minute drive and there are two good IGAs for groceries within ten minutes of the house. There are also a number of more local grocery stores which are really worth the visit as you get a better sense of local food - more choice of conch and the large wild basil that grows there. And the joking around at the cash is pretty funny.

We have already looked at dates for next year!

We enjoyed last week in this beautiful ocean front home in Turks & Caicos. The private gate, beautiful driveway and landscaping welcomed us to our home away from home. We had all the comforts of home and more. The freedom of having open windows and ocean breezes was a change from being secluded in AC with other home designs. It is a great design indoor and out. I saw a manta ray from the waterside patio and found numerous conch shells just steps into the beautiful water.

Wonderful stay at Villa Palermo! The views and tranquility make this place exceptional. We will remember...

Upon arrival I was really impressed by the view and the level of comfort that Villa Palermo offered. The unique Med style home put you in the Turks and Caicos (Island) mentality and sustained and refreshed it every morning and evening when the sun rose and set over the water. I am normally a person who needs AC at night for comfort but the weather and ocean breezes along with my daily dips into the pool made that need dissapear. This is a unique villa and is calling me back even as we speak right now! Please go and experience this island paradise and beautiful custom home. Thanks for the opprotunity!

We had a great time at Villa Palermo and would highly recommend it to anyone considering it. We had a mix of ages, 2 in 70's, 2 in 50's, and 4 in mid 20's and all enjoyed the villa very much. The house and pools were in excellent condition (as good or better than the pictures). Peter with Seafeathers was very friendly, responsive, and helpful. We had a minor issue and Peter was right there to correct it 100%. The ocean views were magnificent, the bedrooms were all great for sleeping, and the inside of the house (kitchen, dining room, TV / entertainment area) were great as well. All the appliances were in excellent condition and worked well. The restaurants are very convenient on the island, not more than 10-15 mins by car. We ate at home about half the time, enjoying the ample kitchen. The Villa is not far from Grace Bay (8-10 mins by car) and a nice grocery store is only about 3-4 mins away (a little more expensive than you would expect). Enjoy!
