The property delivered as it was marketed. Great Location, Great Views and Great Layout. You literally walk outside and down a few steps and you're sitting on the beach. Although the beaches are all public in TCI, no one camped out in front of our place and you rarely saw anyone even walking around the area. There are also some great reefs less than 30 feet in front of the house that had wonderful snorkeling.
A few things to note, when we first booked the property we hadn't been to this particular island and we didn't realize we needed a rental car because taxi's are pretty scarce... we didn't find this out until almost the last minute when the TCI management company asked me for my rental car info...but I would definitely suggest a rental car. There are a few restaurants around the turtle bay marina, but that's still probably a 15-20 minute walk and the streets are very are narrow, so we just drove. In addition, we booked an excursion but they wanted us to drive to them versus picking us up when we were not at an hotel.
We had a few glitches with the stay, but I still give it a five star review because the TCI staff handled it so promptly. After first arriving, we noticed we had a fire-ant problem inside the kitchen and my wife was bitten several times on her hands and both legs. The staff came over quickly (within 20 minutes) with ant traps and spray, and after a while that solved the problem. Also, our gas grill wouldn't light and they promptly responded (again with 20 mins) and they realized it wasn't something that could be easily fixed so they actually went and bought a new grill and had it up and running a few hours later.
Finally, a few other minor items, that are worth sharing --although the large round tub looks awesome in the photo's, it's pretty much unusable because the hot water heater is not large enough to even partially fill the tub. The pool also isn't heated so we only used it once, very briefly because it was just too cold (we visited the first week of March. so I'm guessing it may be fine in the summer months.
I hope you found this review helpful, enjoy!
