Vacation rentals with a kayak in Chalk Sound

Debbie and Dan were absolutely the most wonderful, welcoming, and warmest hosts! They were very helpful during our entire stay, and also went above and beyond to answer all our questions in the run up to our visit. They have created a very beautiful and livable home; you can see the care and thought they have put into both major and minor details e.g. more than enough towels/linens for a family beach vacation. The house is a few mins walk from Taylor Bay, which is incredibly peaceful (e.g. compared to Grace Bay) and has a spectacular shallow and calm bay, perfect for our toddler (and swimming and paddleboarding). The spacious deck and pool were lovely spaces to lounge around. The house is equipped with tons of beach gear and beach toys. We used the ACs when sleeping but the house was breezy enough during the day. One of the most special places we've stayed at in all our travels! We loved our stay. Thank you Debbie and Dan!

A Slice of Paradise – Perfect Stay! Absolutely loved our stay in Turks and Caicos! The Airbnb was spotless, beautifully decorated, and just minutes away from some of the most stunning beaches we’ve ever seen. Our host was incredibly responsive and gave us amazing recommendations for local food and hidden gems. The location was safe, peaceful, and close to everything we needed. We couldn’t have asked for a better getaway—already dreaming about coming back!

Having a private bungalow on the beach in Turks and Caicos was amazing! The property is beautifully maintained and each bungalow has its own private setting, including a splash pool. Everything was immaculate! We loved that we were on peaceful LongBay Beach, away from the crowds. The water was calm which made it perfect for paddle boarding, kayaking and swimming. Kayaks and SUPs were provided so there was no need to rent! Everyone was very welcoming and Jen was always very helpful when we needed a taxi or had questions about anything. She even brought us to the market! We have been on many beach vacations and this one is at the top of the list. We can't wait to go back. When we do, we will definitely return to Swaying Palms!!!

Our family of five visited Turks & Caicos from Cleveland, OH over Christmas break. The home was absolutely beautiful, peaceful and very accommodating. We spent much of the mornings by the pool enjoying the lovely surrounding. Access to the beach was within walking distance and it was great to take long walks along the coast. The host, Britney, was extremely responsive and helpful. She was so great to our family. I would highly recommend staying at Dolphin Hideaway!

I loved the closeness to the beach, the views were amazing from all over the house and balcony! We loved the amenities, and felt very safe. Although there was a dock/ work yard nearby that was busy constantly and very noisy, while this didn’t really bother me it could be problematic for a light sleeper. We also went over the electrical allowance with only 2 people, when our trip was originally planned for 4-6 people, we did take advantage of the laundry and cooked in the kitchen. Although we were not excepting a $100+ electric bill at checkout especially considering we were hot in the bedrooms downstairs. I cannot fathom how much we would’ve gone over with more people. (There was a meter the host showed us how to read upon arrival, but he advised us with 2 people we likely wouldn’t go over so we didn’t bother to pay attention to this and apparently should have)

The view from the villa is beautiful. It is well appointed, the beds and pillows are very comfortable. The kitchen is stocked with many essentials. They have laundry facilities although we did not use them, we had intended to and then didn’t need to. The view of Chalk Sound is stunning and the beaches within walking distance are definitely the best on the island. We loved the beaches that were close by. Chantal and Dave have chairs and coolers for use at the beach which was wonderful. You definitely need a rental car as it is quite remote from most of the restaurants. Las Brisa’s is right next door which was very handy and we did eat there are few times. The first night on the island we ate there and the food was wonderful. Our next few experiences there were not as good and we wished we hadn’t continued to go back. Thank you for allowing us to stay in your home, it was very relaxing for our family

Just spent an AMAZING week here and have no complaints! We had 4 college aged teens with us and they loved being close to the water and having access to the kayaks was a HUGE plus. They kayaked everyday and explored the small islands in the sound. The house is located in the more quiet part of the island which we aim for...we like to explore on our own and get immersed in the culture/people of the island. The bedrooms/bathrooms were all great size and perfect for our family. The house was close to 2 amazing public beaches and we felt completely safe the entire time. For those that are nervous, the house comes with a home alarm system. They had beach chairs/umbrellas/snorkel gear there for your use and they really helped us out. Would recommend this house to anyone interested.

Beautiful property on a canal. Quiet location! House was beautiful and just as described.

What an awesome location! This was our third trip to Turks and Caicos and our third airbnb. This was by far the best location and perfect unit. We are huge fans of Chalk Sound location and this was within very short walking distance of Sapodilla Beach one of the best on the island. The rental was great. Very nice patio, pool, and amenities. Walking distance to Las Brisas restaurant and a short drive to the Little Havana restaurant. The hosts were great. Quick to respond at all times. Never had any issues. Highly recommend.

Wonderful place! Caicos Villa Management reached out several times to check on us which was great!! Able to kayak 100 yards to a great restaurant (Las Brisas ) as well as to a close island to feed iguanas (tossed bread to them from the kayak)! We also enjoyed Little Havana restaurant which was a very short drive. Walking distance to Sapodilla Bay Beach with food, drinks and water sports rentals. Very short drive to quiet Taylor Bay Beach. Both beaches have pure white sand!! Absolutely beautiful!! Cottage was well stocked, super clean! Even the utensil drawers were clean and organized! First rental of many that we did not have to wash out the drawers! The people on the island that we met were all VERY friendly and helpful. Grace Bay car rental was extremely convenient! Located at the airport with no shuttle. Very helpful staff. Very relaxing vacation!

Ann's place was great! The house is located on a quiet and peaceful side of the island, and only a ~5 minute drive to the restaurants and shopping on Grace Bay. We loved being only a couple minute walk from Long Bay Beach and were able to rent Hobie Cats and kite boards directly from our beach. We rented a car to get around since the side of the island the house is located on doesn't have any restaurants or grocery stores that are walkable. The house was clean and neat and perfect for our small group with a couple of young kids. Highly recommended and we'd love to stay there again next time we visit.

We had a great five days here. We rented both cottages and they were perfect for our family of 4. Air conditioning worked perfectly, the pool was nice, plenty of outdoor seating, the kayaks were fun, the location was quiet. It is about 20 minutes from Grace Bay area, but you can't access Grace Bay unless you are stying along the water. We did go to dinner overnight in that area and we did not think it was an issue. There is a beach less than a 5 minute walk away with chairs and umbrellas to rent, but we preferred another more quiet, beautiful beach with shallow water about a 2 minute drive away. A car is needed. Coolers are in each unit, chairs and beach towels provided. the laundry was very helpful. We enjoyed our stay very much! Would highly recommend.
