We had the most amazing week at villa sandcastle. The location is perfect, the house is very well maintained. Everything was spotless when we arrived and in good working order. The kitchen is well appointed with everything you’ll need to cook any meal. AC worked amazing with dedicated units to each bedroom, Wi-Fi speeds were great.

Smiths Reef just off the back door is the highlight feature of this house. The beach is a bit rocky in areas and I’d recommend water shoes for certain times of day. If you plan on snorkeling a lot, I’d recommend packing a dive flag as there is a little bit of dive boat traffic in the area.

The best part about this specific house is the location is far from public beach access spots. For most of the day we never saw anyone on the beach and there is a ton of privacy from the neighboring properties. You’ll truly feel like you’re on a private island.

There are several good restaurants in the area, Mango Reef is the best we tried nearby.

We look forward to our next trip to Villa Sandcastle!!

Excellent! Prompt responses for all questions before and they provided some advice on a few topics during our trip.

We recently stayed at the Villa Sandcastle. We really enjoyed our time there. The Villa was very clean and comfortable. The Villa had plenty of towels for the week and the kitchen had everything we needed as well, We used the grocery delivery before arrival, which was very convenient after traveling. (I would recommend ordering a case of bottled water) Andrew was very helpful in offering recommendations for activities and restaurants. When we arrived, Jona welcomed us to the Villa and gave us a tour. If we had any concerns during our stay they were addressed quickly. The only concern we had during our stay was the water pressure was a little low a couple of times but we learned that it was due to the guys servicing the pool and adding a little water. The snorkeling in front of the villa was amazing. I recommend going out right after sun rise. It’s very peaceful and you can see the turtles and sting ray

Andrew was amazing! If we had any questions he was always available to answer our calls. We truly enjoy working with Andrew and look forward to working with him again in the future.

Sandcastle was the perfect size for our party of 4. Two identical bedrooms, with matching floorplans and balconies. Ideally located a few short steps from Smith’s Reef for the snorkelers. The more popular Grace Bay resorts are just a short drive down the road. The Graceway IGA is also a short drive. There are also a few restaurants within walking distance. This is a perfect location for someone who wants to be a bit secluded, but still be a short distance from everything.

The unit itself was spotless, the pool was large, and the appliances were new. Mechanically, this was the best Turks and Caicos Villa where I have stayed. It actually had central air on the main floor, with separate AC units in each bedroom. For a family of four, or for two couples, this is a perfect villa.

One warning is that the shoreline is a bit rocky to enter and exit the water. It may not be ideal for the very young and very old. Our group (between the ages of 11-51) had no issues. If you can navigate through ten feet of rocky shoreline, you are rewarded with a stretch of nice sand and snorkeling reef loaded with sea turtles.

I only had one very small complaint, and that was no sound system. Most villas offer a bluetooth sound system for deck and poolside music. Fortunately, I had packed a bluetooth speaker. I recommend that you do the same!

Overall, this unit is top notch, and I would happily return.

Andrew and Where to Stay have treated me well. Very easy to work with. I find them to be concise, informative, and very responsive.

With a need to escape a Toronto winter, my wife and I were fortunate to book an open February week on short notice at Villa Sandcastle. It exceeded our expectations. Great location on the beach, with a private pool. Balconies off the second floor bedrooms provided an extra lounge location with great views. A very private and secure location, but also very close to great restaurants like Sharkbite for a relaxed atmosphere, Baci and Mango Reef for a little more upscale. Smith’s Reef was directly in front of the Villa, though it was a bit windy for good snorkeling while we were there. Andrew and his team did a great job through the booking, arrival and departure. Our only snag on the vacation was the WestJet flight with a lengthy delay, change of planes and no luggage on arrival. Andrew’s team were great in helping with our later arrival. We are looking forward to booking again through Where to Stay!

Well appointed villa in a great location. Seconds away from the best snorkling on Provo.
Restaurants within walking distance.

Great working with WhereToStay.com!

Perfect for 2 couples, as have 2 identical primary bedrooms. Beds are very comfortable and villa exactly as pictured. AC worked well and did not exceed the electric allowance. Can go snorkeling right in front of the villa, though water is rougher than at Grace Bay and need to go over some rocks. Easy to walk to many restaurants. Had chef cook at the villa 1 night which was a lot of fun. WhereToStay team were very responsive and would use again.

Excellent experience with WhereToStay.com - very responsive and good info.

Paradise!!! Villa Sandcastle is the ideal home for two couples conveniently located near the grocery store and wonderful restaurants. The modern house is clean and well-maintained. We were very happy with the house and have no complaints. The house has comfortable beds and well-stocked kitchen. The staff was friendly and accommodating.

Waking up and seeing the gorgeous blue water was the perfect way to begin our day. We enjoyed the private pool, long walks on the beach and snorkeling. Easily-accessible beach snorkeling at Smith’s Reef’s is literally steps from the house! We loved seeing the colorful fish and large green turtles.

It was a wonderful, relaxing and fun vacation! Thank you Andrew and your staff for your excellent communication and assistance in making our stay extra special!

Highly recommend this home! In paradise!

Housekeeper did a great job cleaning too!

Staying at Villa Sandcastle was the perfect spot for me and my partner. We were looking for a non-resort, more private experience. This area of West Grace Bay is comprised of luxury villas. This Villa sits immediately on the beach yards away from one of the most gorgeous reefs in the world. When we weren’t snorkeling, the pool was extremely refreshing.
As for the house itself, we thought it was perfect! Spacious, clean, and very well stocked. Being able to wake up to the view of the ocean each morning was one of my favorite elements.

And lastly, I will mention the service. Prior to the visit, Andrew gave us some critical advice that contributed to the pleasure of our experience. Regular communication from him as we got closer to departure was appreciated especially regarding airline requirements. Upon arrival at the house, we were greeted by Ronald who graciously helped us with luggage and knowledge of the home.

I can only give Villa Sandcastle the highest of recommendations and am confident that anyone who stays at Villa Sandcastle will be thrilled!

Great villa with 2 master bedrooms and super nice views from both levels. Privacy was assured at the large pool and from the beach with the tropical plants and palm trees. Snorkel right off the quiet beach at your back door where you see very few people except other nearby villa guests or a few stray walkers or snorkelers. Just far enough away from the crowds near the resorts. Furnishings, and bedding were top notch and home was very clean. Would definitely want to stay at this villa again. Mango Reef, Magnolia and Shark Bite restaurants are great places when/if you don’t want to drive too far (or walk).

Shawna was great to work with! She is so nice to talk to and answered all my questions.

The villa was spotless and everything felt new and fresh. The kitchen was well supplied and the supermarket is 5 minutes away. The WiFi was spotty upstairs with four of us working and a call to the office brought someone with a booster that afternoon!! We loved waking up and hanging out with that exquisite view right in front of us. I would definitely return.

Very pleasant and easy. Andrew was very responsive and helpful.

Villa Sandcastle had great accommodations for two couples. The bedding, towels, indoor furniture, outdoor furniture, and kitchen accommodations were top-notch. The staff was punctual, helpful, and very friendly. The home had excellent proximity to the reef for snorkeling. However, access for leisurely swimming was not ideal due to large rocks, sea grass, and (in our case) inclimate weather and high winds. There were several great restaurants within walking distance, and the entire island was very easy to maneuver. We wish there would have been more direct sunlight next to the pool for sunbathing and swimming, but the patio area was large and comfortable. We also enjoyed opening the huge sliding glass doors for a full view of the ocean and sky. Waking each morning with a beautiful view was a highlight as well.

The Villa was a good size for our group of 4, plenty of space to relax. The 2 master suites were also a good size and had beautiful views off the patio. I thought we had sunset views from the villa, based on maps from website, however we did not. We were able to snorkel right out on the beach, which was really fantastic. It was a little rocky, but once you made it over the rocks, it was very nice snorkeling in your backyard. The pool was well equipped, and cleaned mid-week. Tox even brought us new beach chairs when we mentioned one was ripped. We did have a dryer issue at the end of the stay, which the staff was quick to address, even if it couldn’t be repaired prior to our departure. There are only a couple places that are walkable, and you would only want to walk during the day for safety reasons- I had thought maybe there were a few more. Lastly, given the cost of the Villa, there could be updates/freshening up of the kitchen/cabinets and just a general refresh. Overall, we had a good time, the staff was attentive and the Villa was a good size.

Some issues with charges and billing early on, but outside of that all was good.

Great views and easy access to Smith’s reef.
Tox was our on-site contact and he was very helpful.
Home was clean.
Kitchen is not well stocked for cooking.
Small downside there are no usb charging ports.
Great location! Wouldn’t hesitate to book again.
Andrew was very helpful throughout the process.

The villa is beautiful, very clean and in the best location possible. We like to explore but I think if you chose, you could easily spend a vacation week staying in the neighborhood.
Andrew from Where to Stay was great to work with and we appreciate his help! Working with him and WhereToStay was an excellent experience.
