If you like to get out and explore and want to see the most of our gorgeous island of Providenciales, we highly recommend that you rent a car for your stay, as there is no organized public transportation on the islands. May we suggest Swift or Hertz as two good rental car company options. This area of Chalk Sound is just a bit off the beaten path as it’s located in a peaceful natural park, so you will need to drive to get to stores, restaurants, and attractions on the island.

Other Things to Note:
This residence is a semi-detached property attached to the owner's house. It has its own entrance and is completely independent of the owner's house; the space is all your own.

WiFi, cable TV, parking, bed linens, bath & beach towels, and beach essentials like a beach umbrella, beach blanket & snorkel gear are provided free for guests during their stay.

There is no daily housekeeping but if you’d like a cleaning, one can be arranged for an additional fee. Just let us know in advance so we can set it up for you.

There is a BBQ grill available on property and it is free to use but please note it is shared with other guest cottage in the back, as is the gazebo.

For sanitary reasons, there is no food stored in the kitchen or refrigerator. All food items are removed after each guest checks out. Therefore there will be no supply of items such as condiments, cooking oils, boxed food, etc. prior to check-in. If you plan to cook at home, you’ll need to buy these items at the grocery stores or we offer a grocery shopping service, where we’ll shop for you, get all the items on your list and bring them to you for an additional fee.

We supply some home/bath essentials to make you feel more at home when you arrive like toilet paper, soap and some shampoo during your stay. If you need something else, you’ll need to pick up what you need at the store and bring it in.

Guests will be requested to sign a Rental Agreement upon booking confirmation.

A security deposit may be required prior to arrival or at check-in subject to the booking platform used to make the reservation. This fee is charged as a credit card transaction and refunded after check-out, provided all terms are met.

There is a security camera monitoring the public street entrance gate which will show whenever any of the guests drive out and get back in. The owner lives next door, so this camera is actually attached to the owner's home.

Turks and Caicos is going through a decrease in the water supply. This means that the water pressure can sometimes be affected when the reservoir levels are low. Water shortages can happen throughout the day.
