Atmosphère Tree House sur Chalk Sound

This was our second stay at Poinciana. We love the location and the privacy of the house. Colin and the property management team (Rebecca & Jade) were very accommodating and helpful during our stay. Poinciana sits on Chalk Sound which is absolutely breathtaking. The water is crystal clear and great for kayaking (provided) or just floating around. We visited several beaches during our stay and find that Sapodilla Bay which is very near the house is our favorite. You just can’t beat the calm clear turquoise water with the beauty of natural rock formations. The property was equipped with beach chairs, umbrellas, snorkeling equipment and anything you might enjoy while at the beach. We were pleased that the island has greatly recovered from Hurricane Irma and Villa Poinciana has been restored to her incredible West Indies beauty. Thank you Colin for allowing us to once again enjoy Villa Poinciana.

We are a family of four and we all agree this has been our favorite vacation thus far and this house was a major part of our wonderful experience! Where to start? We were met by our guide, Jade, who met us at the car rental, led us to the grocery store to buy water and some food items, and then led us to our beautiful home for the week! The house was clean, practical, and adorable! The chalk sound is breathtaking, we kayaked to the little Island at least once a day, and my daughter even found some iguanas there she fed watermelon:). I could go on and on! We hope we will some day have the opportunity to visit Turks again and we would most definitely stay here!

My family of 4 stayed here in August, and right before the hurricanes hit. When we had the eclipse. One would never know what was to come ... being surrounded by such beauty and calm.

How do I describe this little gem in so few words? I cannot. You really have to go there to “experience” it in all it’s natural grandeur. I’ll start off by first saying that we went during the summer, when it’s at it’s hottest. However, had there not been the crosswinds, it wouldn’t have been endurable! There is A/C in all 3 units, but we took great care in being conservative with this, as the energy costs are quite high and really, it was unnecessary. The main house came equipped with pretty much everything you could need! Of course, you’ll have to make trips to the supermarket, which is only a few minutes away. We bought more than we needed, and so left a donation in the cabinets for the next crew! Driving on the opposite side of the ride was a learning experience, as well as having a car with the wheel being opposite to what we’re used to! Beware of the crazy drivers there! I think foreigners stick out like a sore thumb!

We took advantage of the kayaks, daily. How can you not being right on the channel?! We we were told about Iguana Island, a little ways away, BUT also discovered on our own that right across from the house, over to the right a bit, was a little island also inhabited by Iguanas! We were sure to chop up lots of fruits & veggies, along with breads & crackers...they LOVED it! They came right to the shore once they hear your paddles..be sure to bring a camera.

We went to the closest beaches and eateries. Didn’t see a need to venture out too far, as what we liked was right next door practically. Plus we weren’t too familiar with the neighboring towns. Next time we’ll explore some more.

I wouldn’t recommend it so much for teenagers though as they would prefer more action and interaction with others (perhaps an all-inclusive). Definitely a spot for adults that can truly appreciate the wonderment that this piece of property can offer. Just breathtaking in every sense of the word. Colin REALLY knew what he saw when he first encountered this spot years ago! Locals are fabulous as well.

I can’t end this review without also mentioning Rebecca...she was amazing and so helpful. Didn’t want to bother her with questions, but when I did, she was always quick to respond.

We will go back for sure on our own for sure and know a little more for next time :-)

This was our first visit to Turks & Caicos. I will say the initial drive from the airport created some skepticism regarding the beauty of the island. However, when we pulled in the driveway of Villa Poinciana and immediately saw an unbelievable crystal clear tourquise blue Chalk Sound everything changed. Jam led us to the house to cover all the details of our stay. She was awesome at answering any questions we had. The location is great! Not in the hustle bustle of Grace Bay but has its own beauty (Chalk Sound) in your front yard and is a short drive to restaurants, Grace Bay or other beaches. The kayaks were an added feature to the property. Chalk Sound is shallow and calm conducive to kayaking or simply hanging out floats. In addition, Sapodilla Bay is just a short distance from Villa Poinciana and a magnificent beach. The house is well furnished both inside and out. But I can't say enough about the view of the sound. We visited several beaches while there and all within a 15-20 minute drive. All the beaches have their own points of beauty like no beaches I've ever seen. We will definitely stay at Villa Poinciana again. So thankful for finding this property on Home Away!

For the third time already we (Swiss family of four) spent a month in Poinciana and still can’t get enough of it. For us, this house is the main reason we keep returning to Providenciales.

The house has everything you need for a longer vacation, like fully equipped kitchen with blender, grill on the porch, spacious living room with fans, sofa and TV and in a seperate building two bedrooms with bathrooms, extremely comfortable beds and all the linens and towels you could possibly need. The air conditioning works wonderfully, although you usually don’t need it with the lovely breeze around this house.

Many days we enjoyed the beaches on Provo, especially Grace Bay. But every time we also enjoyed coming back to the house, loved feeling the breeze (wonderful in the July heat and a safe help against any mosquitoes) and spent at least an hour on the pier, relaxing, kayaking, swimming. The house just got a brand new tandem kayak, so together with the two single kayaks a whole family can enjoy Chalk Sound and the many little islands in it. We even kayaked to Las Brisas, a very nice restaurant on Chalk Sound.

As a conclusion I can say that Poinciana became a second home for us and we are very grateful we can enjoy it from time to time. Thank you Colin, for allowing us to come to Poinciana, for the great email contact you provide and more. Thanks also to Rebecca for assisting us. We are looking forward to enjoying Poinciana in 2018!
