I have to agree with others who have already reviewed this villa. Casa Barana was spacious, the kitchen was well equipped, and provided lots of outdoor as well as beachside seating, including umbrellas. The beach was just steps away from the villa making it convenient to go between the beach and the pool (or the hot tub, which became a family favourite!). The beach was beautiful and the water quite shallow, with good snorkeling in close proximity. The kayaks were a bonus and became a great way to view the sea turtles. Paul was also readily available to answer any questions promptly. It’s a beautiful home!

Andrew was excellent to work with and I thank him for suggesting this villa as we wanted to ensure our two year old grandchild had a safe and fun beach experience. Andrew answered any questions I had about visiting the island and the site on “My Trip” was full of recommendations. I would book with WhereToStay again without hesitation!

Our stay at Casa Barana was wonderful. The villa was a great choice and was very well equipped. With six bedrooms and a great kitchen and dining room area, our family had plenty of room to hang out in comfort. The kitchen had everything we could have needed and made meals memorable. The pool and surrounding deck area made swimming and sunning fun for our whole family, including our four grandchildren (ages 11, 8, 3 and 10 months). The entire house was well appointed with a couple of outdoor eating areas, a BBQ, an outdoor shower, and ready access to the beach.

The caretaker ‘Paul’ was extremely helpful and was available whenever we needed some assistance. His pleasure seemed to be making our stay what we expected. In short, Paul was great… he even came over to fix a small leak in the kitchen double sink… a drain came loose and he repaired it in no time.

I would definitely stay at Casa Barana again and would recommend it to any family wanting a great private house to build memories. The entire island was wonderful.

Andrew and WhereToStay’s staff were great to work with in planning and executing our trip. They delivered everything they promised, so no complaints. I never got to meet Faye and Julian, but spoke to them as we arrived and during the week.

We were so excited to arrive! Paul greeted us with cold Rum Punch and a nice orientation to the house and the island. It was very windy and a bit cool the week we were there so thank goodness for the jacuzzi. We enjoyed early morning walks on the beach, afternoon walks to Da Conch Shack :-) and beautiful sunsets. The kitchen was very well stocked, which made this cook very happy - our family of 11 adults eat a lot, so we ate in often. The rooms were very nice, we had a few maintenance glitches, but we called Paul and he had them fixed. The room with 2 twins is attached to the master and anyone staying in twin room must enter master to exit. This will work with little kids but not with our adult situation. We made it work but it wasn’t clear on web site. Loved the kayaks and the beach chairs and umbrellas were wonderful when we visited other beaches. Would stay here again. We love Turks - wonderful time.

Shawna was more than helpful. I don’t book online often, so was a bit nervous, but she was super nice and responsive to all our needs and questions.
