My wife, daughter, and I stayed at Villa Blanca for a week during spring break. The villa is located on a small hill overlooking Taylor Bay Beach, with spectacular views of the ocean and evening sunsets. This is on the south side of the island, so getting to Grace Bay or other parts of the island does entail driving, which could be an issue for some people.

Taylor Bay Beach is private, about 1/3 mile long, with great sand and clear, shallow water. Its perfect for relaxing in the sun, and the villa offers 4 beach chairs which my wife and daughter used for power-lounging. There's just enough traffic for people-watching, but it never approached crowded conditions. So, while we did go snorkeling a few days at Smith Reef on the north side or on a half-day trip with Big Blue, we found Taylor Bay Beach so nice and seductive to stay and hang.

The villa itself is very well-kept and clean, with a well-stocked kitchen and tons of towels. The deck and small pool were really good for after-hours with a Tanqueray and Tonic or whatever poison you prefer. Maid service came once mid-week, which helped keep the villa looking sharp, renewed our towels, and cleaned the pool. Security details were quite vigilant in an understated way, keeping non-residents/rentees out of the community.

Last, Andrew and Sharon from WhereToStay made the booking process easy and were very helpful with all the details regarding our trip. Onsite, Julian met us at the villa for the introduction and walk-through, and again at checkout to ensure smooth sailing. The cleaning crew was efficient as well.

Overall? Blanca Villa is a really beautiful place to relax in the sun for a week!

We loved our vacation at Blanca Villa! The view from the villa was amazing, and we so enjoyed being steps away from Taylor Bay Beach! The house was stocked with all the supplies we needed, and we enjoyed cooking and watching the sunsets from the pool and the patio. It was so difficult to leave, we hope to be back next year!

Tip for future travelers: the path from the house to the beach is pretty rocky, so make sure you bring flip flops or water shoes because you won't want to be walking barefoot. :)

Andrew was great! We appreciated his prompt communication and help when we had to reschedule our trip due to the hurricane.

The Villa was stocked with all necessary items needed, i.e. all personal items, suntan oils, bug spray, etc. The kitchen was stocked also, the cookware was outstanding as were all other items. Not at all like a standard condo rental that you have to run out to town for restocking items. The Villa was cleaned on schedule at our requested time. The list of restaurants was a great help. We were able to get a reservation at Coco Bistro and it was fantastic. Hardest reservation on the island! The list of activities was helpful as well. We did the snorkeling half day trip, parasailing and jet skis. Dinesh was very helpful also.

All in all the entire WhereToStay experience was outstanding. I would recommend it highly.

Blanca Villa is a lovely place to stay, perfectly located across from what we thought was the most beautiful beach on T & C. Nice amenities and Julien and Dinesh were very accommodating and helpful.

This is the second time we worked with Shawna and Where to Stay and we were very pleased once again. We will definitely reach out to her next time we are headed to the Caribbean.
