This was our second time to Providenciales and our first time staying in Long Bay Hills. We loved it! First of all, the water views are stellar and being able to walk from the doorstep of the villa to the beach in under 60 seconds was exactly what we'd been looking for. It is a little rocky at the waters edge, but if you were to walk down a little in either direction it's easier to get in. Or wear water shoes if that's your thing. You'll see kite surfers and horse back riding tours that come near the villa which is fun. We took a couple of long walks on the beach in each direction. Easy to get down to where the kite surfing companies set up shop. The mosquitoes are no joke. I think because there is so much foliage between the properties it gives them more places to hide out even though you've got the ocean breezes constantly going. Pack bug spray! There's some great after-bite ointment that can be picked up at the grocery store if needed. If you are looking for a place a little off the beaten path, away from the large resorts, you've got it with these villas. There are only 3 at that location and the neighboring properties aren't built directly on the neighboring plots. So lots of space to feel like you've got your own beach. It's a quick drive to really anywhere on the island. You will want your own car, though, so it's worth it to have a rental. We were there a week and didn't even use half a tank of gas. And that's with going over to Grace Bay or Turtle Cove everyday. One day we drove all the way around the island exploring. When we travel, we like to make most of our meals and not be on a resort schedule as far as "breakfast is available until 9AM" type of thing. We grilled several nights using the grill out on the main deck and it was great! If you are divers, this villa is very close to the docks that Dive Provo boats depart from. So on the morning of your dive, rather than go to the shop and hop on the van, you can just go straight to the docks to get onto the boat. It was really nice once the dives were over and we were back to the dock to just hop into our car and be back at the villa in 3 minutes. Would definitely stay here again!

We really enjoyed our stay but feel there are some important items left out of the property description. This may come across as negative but it's intended purpose is to inform. 1) This property is in the middle of no where on a very rough unpaved road. Bicycling on this road is nearly impossible, you will need a rental car, no way around it. Taxis charge you a lot to come out and get you. forget taxis if you're staying here. 2) There are no stores, restaurants, etc anywhere close and no one delivers to this location either. 3) We stayed in Tradewinds. It is not ground floor as listed which was ok for us but if you have trouble with stairs... 4) AC is ONLY in the bedroom. The bathroom is stifling hot almost 24 hrs a day. The LR/K area can be opened up as a breezeway but it's very hot/humid day and night. I can't imagine sleeping on the sofa in that heat and humidity and I'm from Alabama. 5) During our stay the beach was so covered in seaweed it was unusable. I don't know if it's like this all the time or not however this is not a beach you can casually walk down. In both directions the beach is littered with thousands upon thousands of broken conch shells. Most are mostly/partially buried so only a sharp edge or point is sticking out. Step on any of this barefoot or with light shoes on and you're in serious pain. We were only able to walk around 20 yards in either direction before hitting these fields of shells. 6) I don't know how to say this discreetly but if you are on your honeymoon, like we were, the bed is atrocious. It's on a hard tile floor and has wheels that wont lock so use your imagination on this one. Plus it's the most uncomfortable bed I've ever slept on. it needs to be secured to the wall and new mattresses. Tips for staying here: 1) When you leave the airport stop at a grocery store for food and water/drinks. 2) Plan on using the public beaches at Grace Bay, there is a great place next to Seven Stars. 3) Ask your neighbors or property manager to make sure the outside lights are off at night or you can't enjoy the night sky. 4) Tell everyone where you are staying and enjoy their reaction. It's like you're staying on the moon to the locals. I'll say again we really enjoyed our stay. The views are spectacular. The pricing was very cheap compared to other places on the island and it is nice to be in such a private location but there are some big caveats. I hope this review helps future travelers to make a more informed decision.

Very relaxing place to stay. The ocean is steps away. Staff is very friendly. Would recommend this place.

The people were nice and the property was beautiful. It was very peaceful, with little to no disturbances, and the view of the ocean was divine. Overall, my experience was very lovely and I may return in the future.
