Overview
2 to 4BR; 4 to 8 guests - right-size your vacation
Looking for beach, ocean, space to play, relaxation …? It is like looking for the prettiest sea-shell on the beach and here it is. Blue Villa surprises by being a stone's throw from Grace Bay, with an exquisite coral reef right in front of its private beach path for snorkeling – almost unique in the Turks and Caicos!
Begin by relaxing in the large pool surrounded by lush greenery. And walk along the beach at dawn to see the spectacular sunrise over Grace Bay. Spend a lazy day on the beach with a cooler of beers and splash in warm waters. With a wide ocean vista from the Sea Deck, enjoy a glass of wine as evening sets in. Set in a one-acre garden with patio and BBQ areas, everyone can enjoy quiet moments to read and reflect. Cook in the well-equipped kitchen, so eat-in or out – your choice.
Our guests are pampered in spacious rooms each decorated to capture the Island theme – palms, fishes, turtles and reefs. All bedrooms have own bathroom, are air-conditioned and have WiFi. Scroll down to see photographs of each room as well as villa amenities.
Ideal for short-breaks from the city, with occupancy for up to 8 guests and flexible arrival days. Weekly or longer breaks are popular too with travelers looking for an extended vacay.
For several years, we have welcomed guests from North America, South America, Europe and Asia to our pair of vacation rental beach houses. Some for celebrations, weddings, family reunions, diving; or simply friends together.
We take pride in maintaining the highest standards: licensed by the Tourist Board; frequent replenishment of linens; professional cleaning company; readily contactable owner.
A perfect fit too for larger groups, sleeping up to 14 guests with its sister Coral Villa. Each house is set well apart and surrounded by tropical vegetation, so remains cool and private. Wherever you arrive from a warm welcome awaits you.
Our neighborhood
Walk or cycle to Turtle Cove, the long-standing tourist hub in Providenciales. Its reputation is low-key and very friendly. Filled with waterside restaurants, it is all within a short stroll. At the marina, find the tour you have dreamed of: fishing, parasailing, island-hopping, scuba and mermaid spotting.
It is a safe area with regular patrols, during the day and at night. Most villas are well protected and this goes for our villas and those nearby.

About Louise
Why we bought ...
As a frequent visitor to the Caribbean professionally, I was familiar with the islands, or so I thought. I had never heard of Turks and Caicos Islands until a co-worker told me about living in Providenciales. Up to that point, I had been looking at properties all over for a large family holiday home but not arriving at the perfect place. So what clinched it for TCI? Sunshine all year, amazing Grace Bay beach, easy access from North America and in the dollar zone. And the unique reason for the decision? The 3rd largest reef system for scuba diving and snorkeling.
Louise purchased this villa in 2004
Why Louise chose Providenciales
Stunning views across Grace Bay yet a quiet and private location to spend time on the verandah watching the sun-rise with breakfast, and sundown with a large gin and tonic whilst sat on a perch in the pool.
What makes this villa unique
Peaceful garden with tropical flora and fauna - a haven in which to sit in the pool and enjoy good company.
Map
This is a quiet, safe and convenient location. The villa lies back from prestigious Grace Bay West. Within 20 or 30 feet of the shoreline are exceptional reefs, where snorkellers can see turtles and myriads of fish. This is pretty unique on the island for people want to rent villas. Turtle Cove is a 5 to 10 minute walk along a concrete sidewalk to some of the best restaurants on the island - Baci, Magnolica, Sharkbite, Simone's, Tiki Hut and Mango Reef.

Excellent Stay at Blue Villa
Blue Villa was EXACTLY what we were looking for! We wanted something private/secluded but with easy access to nearby amenities....if that is what you're looking for, Blue Villa is your spot! The house is exactly as pictured, everyone has their own space with each bedroom having its own ensuite bath, the pool was awesome to have, and the outdoor patio area has an amazing view of the ocean and stays nice and breezy. Louise truly makes things as simple as they could possibly be! From the moment I contacted her, I knew things would be seamless. She responded quickly to every query we had, the booking process was organized and easy, and the check-in procedure even simpler. The beach is beautiful, private, and truly just a few minutes walk away. You are within a 5 minute walk to Smith's Reef for snorkeling, but we found lots of GREAT snorkeling just at the end of our path, on our "private" beach. We were able to walk to the Thursday night Fish Fry (~15 min walk) and also to Turtle Cove (5 min walk) where we enjoyed several delicious meals. If you're looking for something close to Grace Bay but away from the busy resorts, this is the perfect destination. We rented a car for one day only to tour around the Island but we were perfectly happy with what we had in Blue Villa and with Turtle Cove and Bight Park a short walk away, we were all set!
Like visiting your family ...
It is really like visiting your family at a house on the beach. If you want a super fancy resort that is crowded with people and activities this is not the place for you. If you want to be really close to the beach in a private home then consider this villa. The beach really is a 3-5 minute walk down the end of the street and along a short path. Snorkeling off this beach was amazing. When spending the day on the beach we saw maybe 10 other people each day, on a busy day. The home is well equiped, although I missed having a dishwasher. I like that they leave some of the things behind from previous visitors it is so silly to buy salt and pepper and similar just to leave it behind. We rented all 4 bedrooms and had 8 people staying in the house. The upstairs rooms are really big and nice. The downstairs ones are more like basic rooms and the bathrooms on those are tiny and WiFi doesn't reach that level, so just be aware. Kitchen was fairly small but meet out needs. Prices at the local IGA are good, just buy lots of store brands. Make sure to rent a car you will need one. Don't miss the local fish fry on Thursday night, think tailgate party! You can walk there from the Villa. Louise told us to go at 5:30 and I am so glad we did because it just got more and more crowded and this was off season. Louise was an amazing hostess and went above and beyond, she even drove her own car and helped to get everyone back to the airport on the day we left.
Perfect!
Wonderful stay at Blue Villa! The beach in front of the house is gorgeous, and really a very short walk away, with some of the best snorkeling my family had ever experienced right off the beach! We spent many hours in and out of the water and walking the gorgeous Grace Bay Beach. Back at the house, both the pool and screened in porch made for a great reprise from the hot mid-day sun. All in all, a lovely and relaxing vacation!
Long Overdue Review
There were 6 of us that stayed at Blue Villa back in June of this year to celebrate a 40th birthday. The house was close to everything and within walking distance to the pier and the coffee shop but you will need a car to explore what the island really has to offer. It was also less than a 5 minute wok to the beach and some of the best snorkeling on the island. It was like we had our own private oasis!
The house was clean and spacious with the exception of the ants in the kitchen area, it just takes a little effort to keep it extra clean by making sure everything is put away. The house is equipped with all the necessary essentials such as plate ware, cookware, all sorts of glassware, beach and bath towels and air-conditioning.
The rooms were large and there were two screened in decks. The private pool was a definite plus and was used everyday we were there.
Louise was the perfect host and made sure every questions was answered and always responded in a timely manner. She welcomed us with the Turks local brew (which I crave to this day) and always recommend the best places to go. We also really enjoyed our fur-housemate Robinson (the cat) which we renamed shadow. He was the sweetest thing and followed us everywhere, he'd hang with us at the beach, the pool and would wait for us on top of our car every morning. We even ended up picking him up a box of food. I wanted to take him home:-)
The trip was absolutly perfect, everyone we met was welcoming and so very friendly! There's no doubt in my mind where I will stay the next time I head to T&C!!
Relaxing vacation at Blue Villa
We really had a great time at the Blue Villa. The beach is a short walk down the path at the end of Donkey Lane, takes 2 - 3 minutes. The pool was wonderful and a great place to hang out. The IGA grocery store is within walking distance, but if you do get a car, it is less than a 5 minute drive away. Prices are more than they are at home, but not too terribly bad. The villa is nicely furnished and comfortable. We used the grill just about every night. Louise was great to work with, she always responded to any request we had during the rental process. After we got there we could not find the gas cylinder for the grill. We emailed Louise and she got right back to us with the information on how to access it. We did some snorkeling on Smith's Reef (there is a part of the reef that is located right near to where the path comes out onto the beach). If you want to find some nice shells, take a trip up to the Leeward side of the island and go to Emerald Point, a really beautiful spot. We found quite a few shells up there. We really enjoyed our stay and Louise was a pleasure to work with.
A truly relaxing vacation and beautiful location
My family of 5 stayed at the Blue Villa with my father and it was perfect. The house is very large and clean and has everything you could want in it, especially for a family with young kids. The house was perfect for our grouping as my father slept downstairs and had a place he could stay away from the kids (to get a little quiet!) but was still right with us. We loved eating meals on the porch and taking in the ocean breeze and my kids especially loved the pool, which is good sized and very clean. We spent nearly every afternoon there. The ocean is a very short walk from the house and is an incredible color blue. The beach there is very private. There is a good selection of food at the two main grocery stores on the island. I even found a lot of the vegan and gluten-free brands that my family typically eats. The staff at the Green Bean Cafe (a short walk from the house) were very friendly and the food and coffee were good. In general, people on the island are friendly. Louise was very helpful and friendly as well. I would definitely return!
