Spacieuse maison en bord de mer sur Grand Turk

Perfect location great house looking forward to returning. Spent 4 great days there at the beginning of our trip then went to provo. Wish we would have stayed there

Island Passage was a great introduction to Grand Turk for several of my friends who wanted to visit my favorite place. The house was just right. We had breakfast on the patio with the cool morning breeze and post-diving the comfortable rooms allowed us to relax both inside and in the hammock. Beach walking was great with sea glass and shells. The new kitchen functioned well even if we did not cook but took advantage of walking to local restaurants on Duke St. All in all as a frequent visitor to Grand Turk for many years I was very pleased with Island Passage as it made my friends first visit special.

We absolutely loved our stay at this comfortable island home. It was located within an easy walk to good restaurants and downtown and yet was very private. Sitting on the deck in the shade was heaven, and then the house was super comfortable as well. There were 6 of us and there was plenty of space for all to lounge around both inside and out. We never needed the AC because there were ceiling fans all over. The kitchen was very well equipped (although we didn't find the better stocked grocery store until later in our stay, a good excuse to check out the restaurants - be sure to find Sunshine's, well worth it!!). When the wind cooperates, there is good snorkeling right in front of the house (our favorites included octopus, juvenile French angel, huge porcupine fish, and the beautiful - but invasive - lion fish) and there are stretches of lovely beach in both directions for easy access in and out. The beds were comfortable, with nice linens and abundant towels. Internet access was good and I can't comment on TV because we never bothered to turn it on. Our point person, Anita, was in easy contact and responded to all of our requests right away and she got us in touch with Jose, who we called upon a lot to ferry the 6 of us around the island to other great snorkeling spots. We did a couple of great boat snorkels with Blue Water Divers which were a 2 minute walk from the house. We definitely hated to leave this perfect place!

The location of this house was amazing! It was steps from the ocean and very close to several of the restaurants and bars in Cockburn Town. We spent most of our time on the deck and on the beach right outside of the house. The beach chairs (that we could take to the beach) are becoming a little worn, but they still did the trick. The chairs on the deck were in great shape. The shade trees on the beach were wonderful. The snorkeling was great right from the house. The house was not high end, but well taken care of and clean. Although we went shopping as soon as we arrived, the house was stocked well enough that we could have waited for the next day. The house had plenty of room. The kitchen was huge and the two full bathrooms accommodated everyone. The toaster in the kitchen didn't work, but everything else worked fine. The master bedroom had a closet and dressers, but the people in the other two rooms lived out of their suitcases. One of the rooms had a dresser and closet, but no hanging bar in the closet. The other room had no closet and a dresser that didn't have a lot of room for clothes. Hooks on the back of the door would be helpful. Anita, the property manager, was wonderful. She had Jose, the taxi driver, meet us at the airport and she met us at the house. Both of them gave us a lot of information on where to locate amenities. When the wifi didn't work and Anita couldn't resolve the issue, she asked the neighbor to give us his password, and he came right over and shared it with us. She also brought us her hammock to use. I would definitely rent this house again.

There really is not a lot to do on the island but dive and snorkel. We rented a golf cart one day and checked out the island, which was fun. We walked into town and went to the museum. One of our party would take an early morning walk along the birding trail. If you're visiting to be entertained, choose an island other than Grand Turk. That being said, everyone was extremely nice and tried to be helpful. You will need to ask directions...the tourism office moved and was hard to find. When we found it they handed us two pretty useless brochures (so don't waste your time). The post office was hard to find. The grocery stores were not well stocked, but there were many, so you just went to another one. Dinner at restaurants sometimes took a few hours and at other times we were served quickly. This island is all about rest and relaxation!

Start to finish, great time! Great diving, swimming, laying out. Perfect escape from work/winter!! House is exactly as it appears. Could not be any closer to the water.
