We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Plum Wild in the Turks and Caicos. The house is ideally situated, with Smith's Reef and amazing snorkeling accessible from your doorstep. The pool is also wonderful; although its not long or wide enough for real swimming, you don't need it with the ocean right there. The pool offers a great place to relax, stay cool, and enjoy glorious views. The house is very well equipped as well, and the seating up top was a nice addition that we enjoyed in the mornings. There was a wonderful, huge master shower that's outside as well. There were nice, simple furnishings, and the home was clean.

There were a few things that had to be fixed during our stay -- both the master and the other bedroom toilets lost pressure, and a couple of sliding doors/screens needed slight fixing. That's in part why the review is 4 stars rather than 5, but really it's more like 4.5, because we got an immediate response from the house manager on all issues. The other two issues worth flagging are that the WiFi doesn't extend to the master bedroom, and the A/C in the non-master started dripping after less than eight hours on our last night. The WiFi issue might be improved by adding a router or booster. The A/C might need a repair.

But, we really enjoyed the house and these were minor, fixable issues.

We had a really good experience working with WhereToStay and Shawna. Shawna helped us as we figured out which house to rent, and her suggestions for services and restaurants were really good. Pamela, the house manager, was extremely helpful and immediately responsive. The house was clean and well cared for.

Plum Wild was the ideal villa for our family of four. It was exactly as pictured and immaculate. The villa was within walking distance of some great restaurants, and the trip to the Thursday Fish Fry took us along the beach at sunset. Smith's Reef was right out front. We expected to see significant damage, but the reef was vibrant and full of a variety of fish, coral, turtles in the reef, and rays in the seagrass. Be aware of currents and use them to your advantage. To experience the barrier reef, we recommend Sail Beluga! We had a spectacular day of snorkeling and sailing with them.

There is still some hurricane recovery. We wished we had learned of the Provo Children's Home before we left Canada, as it would have been easy to bring in some of the items on their "Wish List". Our highlight was lunch at Kalooki's on reopening day- an inspirational story, fun vibe, and best food of the trip!

It was a wonderful week. We would love to return to Plum Wild and the Turks and Caicos Islands!

Andrew was great. He always replied promptly by phone or email and was readily available to guide the booking process. Nice to talk to a real person! We appreciated his suggestions for restaurants, and he was clearly familiar with the property as well as the island. We highly recommend him!

Theresa, the Property Manager on the island, was lovely, friendly, and welcoming. Her tour of the villa and suggestions for dinner made our first day great and set the tone for the rest of the week. Many thanks!

Beautiful villa, particularly for those who enjoy snorkeling. Nice design, very clean. Great for two couples or a couple and a guest.

We travel often. Andrew was perfect.

Plum Wild Villa was perfect for my family. Clean, well appointed, nicely stocked kitchen equipment if you choose to eat in. Within fifteen minutes of driving you can be to just about anything; shopping, groceries and entertainment. View was breathtaking from pool and upper sun deck. The beach was a bit rocky but the water and the snorkeling far outweighed the walk. Overall it was one of our best vacations!

I've worked with other agencies and this was also our best experience. Andrew @ WhereToStay.com was honest in what we should expect. The restaurants he suggested were all great. Andrew and his advice on what to do and where to go was right on. Also, the people managing the properties were very responsive and highly professional. Our washer overflowed and we called the on site manager and within half an hour someone was there. Within two hours the villa was cleaned up and the washer working.
