Great Place
Went with 3 friends and had a great time. Listing description was very accurate. The place was clean, very large (2 bedrooms and large living room). There is AC, but we found that it's not really needed, particularly at night. The location is quite ideal. It's within walking distance to most venues at Grace Bay Beach and you can borrow bikes at the resort and if you want to rent a car, there are several rental companies within walking distance as well. There's a great lounge/bar literally within 2 minutes walking and plenty of restaurants.
Bunny is a pleasure to interact with and Denise was very prompt and kind in picking us up at the airport. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending them.
Cons: Very minor, but we found was that we couldn't get the DVD player in the main TV in the living room to work, but who wants to watch DVDs when you're in Turks and Caicos. Other thing was that we left our flip-flops outside every night so that we wouldn't get the inside dirty, and on the 3rd night of doing so, they were all taken and a single mismatched pair of flip-flops were left dangling off the railing. This, however, was probably our fault as we shouldn't have left stuff outside. Overall, we felt completely safe, particularly on the beach (we didn't really see any locals, except for employees, on the main beach).
Advice: Most of this has nothing to do with the actual property, but you might find it helpful.
Time goes in Caribbean speed, so just change your expectations in terms of service time. Food is expensive, period. Whether it be the supermarket or restaurants, it's going to cost a lot - a case of beer is $75. The sales tax is about 11%, which adds a bit too. However, the quality is great and the seafood is consistently excellent. The only restaurant I would not recommend is Thai Orchid. The service is unbearably slow (the waitresses aren't the brightest bulbs) and we got sick from the food.
Summary: The condo is great! It's a great value and you will never see another beach/weather in the Caribbean that's so easily accessible from the US. Everyone speaks English and the currency is USD, so it's super convenient. You will have an awesome time and you will inevitably start venturing into the real estate offices to see if you can buy your own piece of paradise.
Owner's Response: We have been renting on HomeAway for about one year. It is always great to hear how much our guests enjoy our second home. And, we do appreciate the feedback, as it helps to make us even better. Our two suites at the Ocean Club West Plaza (also see #382509) are in the best location, and represent a tremendous value.
