The view was one of a kind. The beach was so calm and the quietness was unforgettable. We heard nothing but the wind in the trees and birds chirping. This trip would be ideal for a family or bunch of couples who don’t plan to get out and explore much, and want to just eat and be at the beach. There isn’t A/C in the whole house, just the bedrooms. In July it got pretty hot for us but maybe other months would be fine. The furniture is definitely old/dated and we did run into some unexpected critters in the house, but that’s expected with being in a barely inhabited island.

The house is right on a wonderful beach and has a lovely pool area with shaded balconies for when the sun is too much. The beds were clean and comfortable, and the kitchen was well-equipped although you need to figure out how to use an induction hob! There is also a grill outside. The instructions about how to navigate from the airport on one island to the house on another were clear except for the final half mile but we figured it out. The house could do with some maintenance as we had issues with the water and battery-operated controllers; however, the host was extremely attentive, and her local crew was fantastic, so everything was sorted out quickly. Water is scarce on the island, so I liked the fact that you have to pay extra if you use a lot (they calculate usage on the last day) - the same with electricity, which is very expensive on the islands. North Caicos is a quiet island - don't come here if you want night life and gourmet food (the best food was cooked by Porshe on Bambara Beach!). But if you want turtles, reef fish/sharks, amazing water, and lovely locals, this is a great place to come.

The location is spectacular! The host and the accommodation were great. If you like privacy, sparkling beaches, authentic cuisine and friendly people, I recommend it highly.

The house is beautiful, the porches are wonderful and the proximity to the beach is amazing. We saw only a couple of people on the beach all week. We loved the house and the island. This is a pretty remote spot so you definitely need a car and should not plan on eating out much. If you want lots of amenities, stick to Provo, we loved how quiet it was and doing nothing, but that may not be for everyone.The drawback is the bugs. They are REALLY bad, my son and I both have literally hundreds of bites. We wore bug spray and did not go on the beach at sunrise or sunset and still came home covered in bites. Obviously, this is not the host’s fault, but definitely something to consider.
