12 Reviews of Property 367226 in Providenciales - Provo, Turks & Caicos

The Allamanda Villa was exactly what we needed! From the moment we arrived, it felt like home. David and Amanda made us feel as if we'd known them for ten years instead of ten minutes. They were so incredibly nice and every suggestion or recommendation was spot on. The Allamanda Villa was comfortable, cozy and perfect for our week long vacation. Everything from the beach style decor to the screened in back porch where we had our morning coffee daily was intimate and wonderful. We will definitely be staying at the Allamanda Villa on our return trip to Turks and Caicos!

We had an excellent stay at the cottage in TCI. The owners were out of town for the holidays and had a local friend pick us up. She was so kind and prompt and showed us the around to the best places and local grocery stores. It is a simple 2 minute walk to the must beautiful beach we have ever seen! We loved our stay and will definitely plan another trip to TCI and to David & Amanda's cottage!

We just returned from a week of staying in this adorable beach cottage! I've already started recommending this property to other couples looking for a relaxing beach vacation. David and Amanda were extremely helpful and even ran to the store when we needed a can opener!! They are terrific hosts!
They were always available if we had questions or needed recommendations for activities or dining info. The cottage is excellent for two people and the property is exactly how it is pictured here on the website. There were no surprises!!
Thanks again David & Amanda for a magnificent time...this was our 8th time to TCI and by far the best experience! We are already looking forward to a return visit!!

The perfect home away from home. David and Amanda were so hospitable and helpful. Their restaurant recommendations and advice were invaluable. We will be back!

We spent eight nights at Alamanda Cottage. David is a super host - welcoming and never shy on recommendations (e.g. the Conch Shack, on Provo, Wade's Green Plantation, on North Caicos, and Mudjin Harbor, on Middle Caicos). When we arrived, as promised he picked us up at the airport and drove us to the supermarket our first night, when we did not have a car yet. There was even a bottle of white wine awaiting us at the cottage. On Turks and Caicos, the water is pristine and the sand as soft as flour - a marvel! Staying at Alamanda and renting a car (a must!) gave us an opportunity to explore Provo in a way you would not do if staying at an all inclusive; we really appreciated this. I f you plan on going to Turks and Caicos, would we recommend this place? Absolutely!

Our hosts were incredibly friendly and helpful for us during our stay on T&C. We're a young family with a tiny toddler, and we managed just fine in the Leeward studio. It's a hike from the crowded Grace bay village, so we'd recommend a rental car if you're coming to the island to be near the "action". If you're more inclined to stay in a safe quiet neighborhood, just a short walk from wide-open beaches...this is your place! Not far from the Leeward marina where you can catch a ferry to North/Middle Caicos islands.

Thank you David, Amanda, Olivia and Ella for a wonderful stay at your beautiful guest cottage, and for welcoming us to TCI and your home so warmly!! Allamanda Cottage was a perfect fit for our family, and you all went above and beyond in ensuring that we felt comfortable and welcome. Also: your patience with and kindness towards our two-year old will not be soon forgotten!! She is still talking about your treehouse, and her sojourn to the beach with “the girls”. Thank you for never once making us feel like a faceless, nameless number, or simply a credit card, as can be the case with so many large resorts.

Potential guests: Don’t be fooled into thinking you need to stay further down the coast in the center of grace bay, or directly on the beachfront. This little cottage is exactly as described above, and only a few minutes easy walk from one of the most breathtakingly beautiful beaches on the face of the earth. The colour of the water is stunning. The texture of the sand is perfect. The crowds are nonexistent. The beachcombing is stellar. (How many types of seashells can you find?) The sunsets are indescribable. The quiet walk home, and the time spent together with family or friends is simply priceless. The whole package: a simply unforgettable vacation.

All of the best that TCI has to offer is only a short drive or bike ride from this cottage, and you are equipped with everything you need for a perfect yet affordable getaway. On an island where most accommodations charge a higher rate per night than is charged for an entire week at Allamanda Cottage, this place should be at the top of your list. We will be recommending it to all our friends and family when they come to visit us at our new island home later in the year, and we hope to keep in touch with this great family when we finally make it to ‘town’.

All the best from sunny but frozen Montreal!

Our stay here was exactly what we were looking for and the pictures depict exactly what you are getting. Small, quaint guest house that is close to the beach, quiet, very clean, safe, and comfortable.

Being in Leeward, the area was very quiet and close to a beautiful section of beach which was not overcrowded like the stretch along Grace Bay. Though when we wanted to find a little more excitement, it was only a 15 minute bike ride (bike on the sidewalks!) for us to head to the main Grace Bay area where the action was. If you have a car, it's no more than 5 minutes there. We walked a few times too (along the beach and the road). David also offered to take us in many times during our stay for groceries, etc if we wanted.

If chartering diving or other things through Big Blue, it's only a 5 minute bike ride to the Leeward Marina. For the ferries, it's just over 10 minutes to bike to where they come in.

Our days were busy on the beach and doing activities such as diving, snorkeling, paddle boarding, and cycling. Caught the ferry to North Provo and cycled around there as well. The beach along Leeward and Grace Bay is very long. One can swim and walk for hours on the velvety soft sand from Leeward Marina all the way to Turtle Cove uninterrupted!

David made some great suggestions on things to do/see and who to talk to, plus he's very knowledgeable on anything you want to know about the island and area.

Our Fav Food - Da Conch Shack, Pizza Pizza, Jamaican Patties, Fresh Bakery, Yoshis, Grille Rouge, Seaside Cafe, Barracuda (North Caicos), IGA gourmet grocery.

A big treat for me was the screened in deck on the back of the guest house in the brush. Any meals we made at the guest house, we ate out there. Very peaceful and really adds to the quality of the stay there as it's quiet, private and feels separate from the house (I couldn't hear anything my fiance was doing inside while I was out there). I spent many warm, relaxing evenings on that deck reading and watching the resident geckos chase bugs around the screen (they were on the outside of course!). I left two books there for the next guests to read - Treasure Island: such a fun, classic book that is a must when in the Caribbean! and - Born to Run: an excellent read on American ultra runners and the Mexican Taramuhara tribe runners.

We very much enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend to others. David and Amanda are excellent hosts that made us feel welcome and at home.
