PLANNING A FLAWLESS VILLA EXPERIENCE. Written by Island Sitters. If your days seem humdrum and your nights are chilly, think of warm Caribbean breezes carrying a faint steel drum melody across the bay - you might be ready for a villa vacation in the tropics. A villa stay in the Caribbean offers the luxury of your own space, total privacy, and a
refrigerator to raid at midnight after a moonlight dip in your
pool! And in most cases, you'll probably pay no more per couple than you'd pay for a hotel
room. We offer a wide selection of private luxury homes on eight islands, ranging from intimate cottages to private islands. Theres something for everyone. Villa life is flexible and custom-designed for you. With advance notice we can arrange additional maid-service, grocery delivery, your own chef, a driver,
babysitter or nanny, masseuse, manicurist, even
spa services at your villa. You may opt for total privacy, enjoying quality time with your lover, family or friends, sequestering yourselves away for peace and
quiet. A family getaway can take on new intimacy with quality time spent together at a villa. Your villa can be your headquarters for an action and adventure vacation, diving, snorkeling, fishing, parasailing,
jet skiing, sailing, power boating or
windsurfing. Sounds great - but what are some of the things you should absolutely consider when planning your villa vacation, so you'll have the best vacation of your life? Here are our TOP TEN TIPS for making your villa rental as perfect as it can get: 1) Choose your group wisely. If traveling with friends be sure you know them well, so no disagreements or stress crop up unexpectedly to ruin your vacation. 2) Call a meeting of your group to discuss what each person really wants to do on this vacation. Each of you will get a good idea of what the others in your group expect. Together your group can determine if you'll need an extra rental car or two so you can split up and go your separate ways on certain days. Should you have groceries delivered to your villa for your arrival? Do you all want to eat out at
restaurants every night, or cook and
grill at your villa, or do you wish to hire a chef? Who will occupy each
bedroom? Who will drive the rental cars? (Everyone should know we drive on the left side in the islands.) Make it a fun evening, bring website information or brochures to share, and spend lots of time talking about your vacation together. Time spent together before you go can create better understanding and harmony later. 3) Choose the right island. Each of our islands has its own distinct flavor and beat. Besides the wide choice of island watersports available, other things for you all to do can vary widely. If you have tiny children, make sure the island is easily accessible via a direct flight rather having to take two or three or four connecting flights a long journey can frazzle any family with small kids! If you're an active group who wants lots of nightlife and shopping, then some smaller islands may not be mainstream enough to provide a wide enough variety. Would you all be happy just to be on the beach or sitting at the
pool every day? Then a smaller or less-developed island may be just the
ticket. Check carefully to be sure all the components of your dream vacation are available on the islands which interest you. Utilize the
internet and stateside Caribbean tourist boards for island information, check bookstores, newsstands or your library, and then spend even more dedicated time on the
internet. The more you know, the easier and wiser your choice will be! 4) Book your activities and daytrips before your arrival. We can help you plan and reserve any activities for your island vacation well help you customize the perfect vacation with fun activities and island sights. Please contact us for a wide selection of villa services and activities we offer. If you are arriving late in the day, or especially if youre traveling with children, please ask to have your villa pre-stocked with groceries of your choice...this service is well worth the nominal fees so you can settle right into your villa and relax without having to rush off to the grocery store. Special villa services such as chefs,
massage and
spa treatments, nannies, power boat rentals, day sails and so on are often sold out weeks in advance; please book well in advance to avoid disappointment. 5) Research all the details and ask a lot of questions about which villa is best for you. Eventually you may feel like a pest, asking new questions which arise, but keep asking! How else will you know if the house is going to meet all your needs? Study the web page information for each villa carefully. What size beds are in the villa (your name will be mud if you arrive and your two sons have to share a double bed)! Does it list all the amenities you want? Which rental car companies are best? Can you rent a crib? Will you have complete privacy at your
pool? Does anyone in your group have a physical condition that makes climbing stairs a problem? Keep asking questions! 6) Never assume. Full disclosure about your villa booking should always be provided to you. But never assume anything study website information and villa catalogs or brochures carefully, and ask questions until you know the villa and rental policies well enough to feel totally comfortable. And always get a written confirmation of your reservation, then check it thoroughly as soon as you receive it to make sure there are no errors. 7) Book months in advance, so the villa you really want is more likely to be available! 8) Adjust your expectations. Its everyone's dream to stay in a perfect, designer-furnished millionaires mansion on its own private mile-long white sand beach! But all beaches are deemed public in the Turks Caicos Islands but there are a few private homes on their own white sand beaches here. Youll have to drive a short distance to get to beaches, but the upside is that, as a tourist, you may walk through any hotel or resort lobby and spend the day on their beach, and can sample a different resort's flavor each day. Our islands don't have any street addresses (so a
taxi will locate your villa), but renting a vehicle is essential. It will give you wonderful freedom to explore. Go for a swim at dawn, drive to a different beach or attraction every few hours and see all the sights! You'll certainly get to know your island better than you ever dreamed. Most Caribbean travelers who rent villas are quite independent, and love being on their own with their own house and car. 9) Calm down, unpack and relax. Once you've arrived at your villa, sip a cool
drink, savor the ocean views, and take a dip in the
pool. Move slowly - it's the Caribbean way. Above all, open your eyes to new experiences and your heart to another culture. Remember your Caribbean manners while visiting - a cheery Good Morning, Good Afternoon, or Good Evening before you launch into your conversation with a local will usually get a smile in return. Let the rhythm of the tropics take over. 10) Go with the island flow. Dont plan too much; be open to exploration and spontaneity. Dont let silly island glitches, big or small, ruin your fun. Adjust. Keep your sense of humor and try to laugh about the bumps in the road - in the islands, its always something. Who knows, you may find it all very funny later. Relax and enjoy. Villas...this is the life!
