Villa Roi Soleil (12-19 July 2019) Review

Where do I begin?! This trip was INCREDIBLE!! Largely in part to David and Mitzi and their beautiful, picture perfect home!! We traveled the island, and without a doubt, Villa Roi Soleil has one of the best views you can ask for. Villa Roi Soleil had the three things I was looking for when coming to TCI: 1. An amazing view, 2. An amazing view from from the pool (knowing that’s where we’d spend the majority of our time), and 3. A private beach. In addition to that, it was close enough to gas stations and grocery stores but far enough not to have to deal with the crowds you see on Grace Bay side. We  checked out Grace Bay, Bight Park, Long Beach, Sapodilla Bay, and Chalk Sound - and knowing what I know now and having seen what I’ve seen, I would choose this home again and again. 

Pro tips: 

    0.    Scooter Bobs negotiated with me on the price, and I was able to get a 7-passenger van for under $550 out the door with unlimited drivers.

    0.    Island Vibes half day snorkeling trip for $115 is awesome. The four hour boat ride you get alone makes it worth it!

    0.    Fish Fry on Thursdays at Bight Park was a cool experience - and we saw the new TCI governor rolling around in his Land Rover with crown plates - pretty cool!

    0.    We ate at Cocovan (Grace Bay Area), Bobs (the marina right up the street), da Conch Shack (Blue Hills), and the Fish Fry. By far, our favorite was Cocovan (we went there twice because it was so good)! The Mac and Cheese Balls and the steak tacos are amazing - highly, highly recommended!

    0.    We let our bedroom AC units run from 9pm until whenever we got up the next day - by the end of the week, we were at 305 kw. The bedroom AC will likely be on when you arrive; I suggest turning it off and only using it when you’re sleeping. The breeze through the windows (especially the master) is amazing!

    0.    The house is stocked with spices (for cooking), towels, iron, ironing board, safes, snorkeling gear, fins, and water shoes.

    0.    Bring bug spray!! Mosquitoes around the pool, in the kitchen, and in the pool side bathroom are terrible. You will get bug bites (pretty sure this is the case no matter where you stay on the island) - be prepared. Down by the beach, they don’t seem to exist. If you plan on preparing a meal, put plenty on.

    0.    The grocery store is 7-8 minutes away. Anticipate spending twice as much ($6 for Oreos, $15 for Digiorno pizza, $9 for gallon of milk, $21 for large Folgers container, $5 for a peach, etc). Bring what you can (we packed a bunch of food and had no issues getting it here), and just budget accordingly. The more you can eat at the house, the more you’ll save. At restaurants, your entrees range from $13-$19 (for Bobs, Cocovan, etc) - my wife and I don’t really frequent the fancy places so I can’t talk to their prices.

    0.    Kayak to the islands near the house and bring your snorkeling gear - you’re missing out if you don’t! 

    0.    David and Mitzi were a pleasure to work with; I hope to work with them again in the future!

    0.    I have to say it again: the view from the pool and the pool deck made this trip with every last dollar! Being that property value around here is a millions of dollars per acre for beach front, I can say that this is literally a million dollar view! Every time we walked down the stair from the Master Bedroom and saw the ocean, our jaws dropped. I’ve been been on some cruises and I’ve been to Hawaii, but staying at Villa Roi Soleil has easily been the best vacation of my life! If you book Villa Roi Soleil, you won’t regret it!

Our group had 4 couples, each was able to have their own bedroom and bath. Beautiful infinity pool with great view of ocean and beach. Property has very nice group spaces (screened in porch, kitchen, deck and TV room). The owner was very helpful with suggestions and responsive to any questions. Really was perfect for our group.

Mid winter get away!

Date of Stay

Jan 12, 2018

Our group of 8 friends for past 25 years met up in Turks and Caicos for a week long vacation from the tundra (Minnesota and Wisconsin). The Villa exceeded our expectations and was nicer than the pictures suggested on the Website. The home was great and this is one of the few private beaches on the island (we toured it on 6 hour boat/snorkeling day trip). This was made better by the stand up paddle boards and 2 sea kayaks at the Villa for trips out into bay and nearby islands. Great kitchen with the best view of infinity pool and ocean a kitchen could have!! Plenty of space on property for privacy for each couple to get away from the group! Went into Provo a few times (watched amazing Vikings playoff win at a fun beach bar!). The owner is a great communicator and kept in touch and had a quick solution to any concerns that arose during our trip. There is a local property manager who stopped out whenever needed too. Highly recommended and will definitely return to this Villa in future.

Fabulous Vacation House

Date of Stay

Jan 12, 2018

We just returned from a fabulous vacation in TCI. The house was perfect for the four couples on the vacation - each couple had a large sized bedroom and their own bathroom. Would also be perfect for an extended family gathering. The kitchen had everything we could possibly need to make our own meals and the owner had suggestions for a private cook who we used one night. The view from the kitchen window was incredible as it overlooked the infinity pool and ocean. The dining room table easily sat 8 people on the nights we chose to eat indoors, otherwise we sat at the patio table outside. Although we spent most of our evenings outside in beautiful screen porch, the living room was quite comfortable and well stocked with books and movies. The private beach was amazing! Lounge chairs, sun umbrellas, kayaks, and paddle boards were all ready for us on the beach. The bay is shallow so would be perfect for a family with young children. The area is quiet making it a perfect get-away yet it is close enough to town should you need groceries or want to shop & explore the Grace Bay Area. Location was perfect - we were able to watch both sunrise and sunset. The owner was very responsive to all our questions especially while we were in TCI and was always ready with a suggestion when asked, whether it was about restaurants, boat rentals or private chefs. I would definitely recommend this house to anyone wanting to vacation in TCI.

My wife and I stayed 1 week with 3 other couples and had an absolutely fabulous time. Villa Roi Soleil was ideal for the 8 of us. It's location was very private yet not far from the grocery store, snorkeling sites, and restaurants. All bedrooms were clean and very comfortable, the kitchen was large and extremely well-appointed, and the pool/patio area was breath-taking. We also greatly enjoyed the roomy screen porch and the comfy TV room. The beach was equally impressive and was equipped with high-quality lounge chairs, side tables, and umbrellas. The paddle boards and kayaks were a blast and were a great way to get a little exercise in the midst of our total relaxation. In a word, every thing about this place was PERFECT!

We had two families a total of seven people and everyone had great space along with good facilities for meals all together. Location was great and close to other areas to visit or eat. The directions provided were very helpful. For anyone looking to visit the island I would recommend they look to see if this villa is available. Mike from Kansas

Amazing Private Villa

I had a spectacular stay at this amazing villa. It is in the perfect location on the island and placed on stunning private beach with breathtaking views. The villa provided all the essential amenities you could ever need on a vacation including a fantastic infinity edge pool looking out on to the ocean. It was very well cleaned and perfectly maintained with nicely manicured landscaping. The service was outstanding throughout my entire stay. I have already recommended the property to family and friends, it is the perfect Turks and Caicos retreat.

Sweet 16 couldn't have been any Sweeter!

Date of Stay

Jul 26, 2017

We celebrated our daughter's Sweet 16 with family and friends in the Villa and had a wonderful time. The villa, private beach, pool and the views are exactly as pictured. We spent a few days just relaxing around the property as well as renting jet skis for a day and renting a boat for a half day. Well worth the expense. We cooked breakfast every morning and spent a few nights having dinner at the villa. We did go to Mango Reef for our daughter's Sweet 16 and the food was amazing. Our last night we went to Bugaloos which turned out to be a great evening of wonderful food and dancing with the staff. They were so welcoming to our family we had a hard time leaving. We rented the boat for a half day from Island Vibes tours and well worth it. We snorkeled, visited a private beach, they provided lunch and all the drinks (including alcohol) and then we swam in the ocean for the rest of the afternoon. The kids had a great time. We had Captain John, he was great. We rented jet skis that were delivered right to the house and spent the afternoon cruising around the islands. There is plenty of room for everyone. We had a total of 9 people and no one was cramped. The master bedroom suite was lovely and we had no need for air conditioning as our room faced the ocean and with the breezes all night we were very comfortable. Our daughter and her friends had a great time and we would definitely come back again. Thank you for sharing your home with us and thank you to Wilbur who checked in on us daily to see if we needed anything, cleaned the pool and raked the beach everyday. This was a relaxing as well as fun week. We left behind a volleyball which we used in the pool to play many a game. We had a great deal of laughs and we hope you do too!

A perfect week in paradise at the perfect house!

Date of Stay

Feb 10, 2017

We spent a week in TCI with 7 friends celebrating my wife's 40th birthday. The Villa Roi Soliel was absolutely perfect for our group. Plenty of ways to find privacy when needed and also spend time together in wonderful shared spaces. We especially loved the pool/pool deck and the screened in porch. The kitchen was well appointed and we cooked 2 very nice dinners at the villa, taking advantage of the grill. The beach access was a huge perk and the more active folks in our group made frequent use of the paddle boards and kayaks to explore the bay in front of the house (the islands were usually the destination). A couple of previous reviews complained about rocks on the beach but we had no issue in that regard. The landscape of the beach was very natural and did include some areas of rock/stone but these added to the natural beauty and were not much of an issue to either walk over or around while in the water. Wilbert (the main point of contact on the island from the villa) was amazing. He saw to all our needs, even went back to the airport for us to sort out a suitcase mix up, the owner was in touch with us regularly both leading up to our trip and during to make sure everything was in order. Provo (short for Providenciales) is a quiet island and night life is minimal so if you are looking for somewhere to come party late into the night at bars/clubs then you should look elsewhere. The quiet and solitude was perfect for our group and we loved the quaint feel of the island. We enjoyed fishing (TCI is a very productive fishery for bonefish) and snorkeling (so many beautiful reefs that were really easy to get to and explore....we saw all varieties of fish, sting rays, eagle rays and turtles). We had fun shopping near Grace Bay and ate at Big Als (good burgers), Mis Amigos (great Mexican joint with awesome fish tacos) and Hemingway's (perfect location on the beach...the lobster tail was amazing). In summary we loved the house, we loved the island and can't wait to come back!

We vacation as a family (9 of us, youngest is 6). We wanted a different experience this year, not a resort and we were overwhelmed with how beautiful the location was and how perfect the villa was. We always try and plan activities to keep busy and not spend too much time in the resorts but here, we didn't want to. We took advantage of the house, the 3 islands where we wondered to as a family, the jet skies delivered to the villa for us and most of all the incredible views, comforts and private beach. The supermarket was close by and easy to get to. The owner was so easy to work with and so accommodating at all times. He made us feel so comfortable and welcomed when we needed him. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful villa! We fell in love and really didn't want to leave Turks. Made really great memories and really enjoyed our stay. Thank you a million times!!

Jun 18, 2016

Each summer we try to have a whole family vacation. This year it was a different Island in Turks & Caicos. Our entire family (from 4yrs old to 58) had a great time, nobody wanted to go home. The house was wonderful. Everybody loved the screened in porch. Waking up to the beautiful water and breeze and jumping into a wonderful pull big enough for the whole family. The house was comfortable and very well maintained with help when necessary. the owner was very attentive to making sure we had a wonderful time at his home. The kitchen was well stocked with all the equipment necessary for your great meal. They provided kayaks to get to the three islands close to the house. Which everybody had fun doing. He had recommended some great restaurants. We also went to a Conch farm which was a great learning experience and also a day snorkeling in the most beautiful calm water you could ever imagine. The ownwer's description of his property and the amenities was on target. We have stayed at other Home Away / VRBO's and they were never as nice or well furnished. We can't wait to return. This one is definitely at the top of the list for a great vacation spot.

This was our first trip to the Turks and Caicos islands and we had a wonderful time. The property was well maintained and stocked. Everything needed at the home and the beach was available and ready to go. The Kayaks were great for exploring the coast and islands. We also rented Jet Ski’s for a day and they even delivered them right to the beach in front of the Villa. The location of the Villa is very quiet day and night and was ideal for our family of 4. We were met at the airport by Wilbert and he stops by every day to water the property and check if there was anything we needed. The Owner called when we arrived to be sure everything was to our liking and he called to check in during the week to see if we needed anything or had any questions. He even gave us a map for a sight seeing tour of the island and said to bring a camera – he was right about the camera. We would highly recommend Villa Roi Soliel. We will be back for sure.

Spectacular Spring Break

Date of Stay

Mar 4, 2016

We have vacationed 10 times now in Turks and Caicos and for the most part prefer the quiet of the south side of the island. In the past, we've primarily stayed in Taylor Bay, which we had always thought of as the perfect location. Until this year - Some friends of ours had suggested long ago that we try out the South East side of the island. We were hosting our daughter and some of her college friends for their spring break and wanted to be certain we had enough space for all to feel comfortable, at ease, and safe. That took us to Villa Roi Soleil. Our trip couldn't have been better. The home is beautifully decorated for beach living, and you are in need of nothing while staying there. The home was clean and well maintained ! Had we had any problems, we knew caretaker Wilbert would be right there to help !! The pool is a terrific size and the private beach....a perfect place to welcome the new day, relax (or play) in the mid-day sun and then finally to gaze up at the stars at night. As my daughter commented, you feel as though you are inside a snow globe filled with thousands of stars surrounding you!! The beach toys were also perfect and more than enough for our 7 person crew. Villa Roi Soleil allowed us to create memories that will last a lifetime !!! Tips: - Oddy (I say that originally from Chicago where Pizza is king) - the IGA pizza is really good. We were tired one evening and couldn't decide what to have for dinner. We drove to the IGA hoping for some inspiration, and came home with pizzas. - Bugaloos and da Conch Shack never disappoint !!!! - Sunset cruise on the Atabeyra was lovely - one of our favorites ! - Silly Creek Water Sports took us out one day and owner Steve kept us safe and full of fun !! - We found you can buy fresh lobster (while in season) at the blue building (seafood distributor) just down the road from Bugaloos. They get it fresh daily from the fisherman. (Although Steve with Silly Creek mentioned if we saw any fisherman coming in, we could stop them and see if they would sell direct to us) We highly recommend Villa Roi Soleil - and hope to return soon !!

A million THANK-YOU’S for sharing your beautiful home with us! I can safely say that this was by far the best vacation our family has ever had! I will enthusiastically recommend it to all our friends. First of all, the villa has been absolutely magical, as if we got to spend a week in a quiet corner of Heaven. All of us found absolute peace and tranquility within hours of arriving. The kids always found things to do around the villa, they swam in the gorgeous pool for hours every day, played board games, watched movies, the kayaks were a big hit as well as the snorkel gear & for course, the ocean! The rest of Provo wasn’t too bad either! Da Conch Shack is a must for lunch any day, we had a great meal at the Tiki Hut and enjoyed some great little restaurants in Grace Bay. We highly recommend renting jet skiis from Sun & Fun Seasports 649-646-5724. We had so much fun on the 1st day, we had to rent the again for a 2nd day. Provo Ponies was a HUGE hit! The horses were so well behaved and well cared for. The guides were super friendly and galloping on the beach as well as walking through the surf belly-deep was an AWESOME experience! Anyhow, I could go on and on about how much we enjoyed this place. It’s going to be really difficult leaving…we will definitely miss it and hope to return again next year! THANK YOU!! PS. A big thank you as well to Wilbert. He was very helpful and always responded quickly if there were any issues, no matter how small.

Beautiful villa & views, quiet location

Date of Stay

Oct 28, 2014

We had the absolute pleasure of staying here for a week in October. Two words immediately come to mind when I reflect on this villa: beautiful and private. A concern with travelling to the Caribbean is the sheer number of people who do the same. Resorts tend to be loud and the areas around the resorts crowded. This villa is on the South side of the island, away from the busyness and the noise of the resorts. The location on Turtle Tail kept it from feeling like isolation. The grocery store was about 10 minutes away with restaurants at about the same distance. This property was gated and provided that sense of security when we were all down on the beach or in the pool. Judging by the ‘beaches’ in front of the near-by villas, the owner has clearly put a significant amount of effort into clearing his section. This beach was fully sand, with several beach chairs and umbrellas provided. The water was shallow, even walking out into the ocean several hundred feet. The view from the villa was magnificent. The unmistakeable Caribbean-blue water could be best appreciated from the infinity-edge pool deck and the master bedroom. The pictures on the villa website try their best to show the view, but it is impossible to do it justice. We very much enjoyed the quiet sunsets. We would highly recommend this villa to anyone making the trip to Providenciales. One week spent here, however, will forever change your feelings about staying in a resort. We will be, without a doubt, returning in the future.

How do 6 adults get completely “away” in Turks & Caicos and Villa Roi Soleil! Thank you for making your home user friendly. We enjoyed it immensely. We threw on some blues and Jazz in the mornings and evenings played cards under the pergola in the afternoon swam, snorkeled, kayaked and sunned away our days!! If you wish to know about surrounding restaurants and attractions, please read about them on other pages as we were content to enjoy plenty of pasta, lobster and steaks right here at the villa where we could watch a movie or play farkle (may the video o fthat be lost forever!). We will not soon forget sitting with other off season visitors at Danny Buoys nor will be forget Las Brisas-a wonderfully upscale restaurant.But the “BEST” you can find is sipping a glass of rum punch/pina colada/beer/wine on your own private beach at sunset! We loved our stay on our perfect island get away…hooray hooray for Turks & Caicos and Villa Roi Soleil!

The location of this villa, is so private, so peaceful and so beautiful, you want to do nothing all week but stare out at the stunning turquoise water, listen to the waves, and watch the stars. From my bedroom I could lay in bed and see the full array of stars. There is no noise pollution or light pollution - it is just so romantic and relaxing. One day a rain storm set in, I sat in the screened in porch warm and dry watching the clouds float by all while still doing my office work. I loved it! Every morning went out to explore a different island or cove by kayak, then would stop somewhere and snorkel in that location finding a different cliff, islands and fish to explore. This villa is beautifully set up with 3 double kayaks, stand up board, tons of snorkeling equipment, water toys for kids, full library and movie collection. You really don't need to bring anything other than a good book. Wilbert will come and meet you at the airport and checks in with you everyday to see if you need anything. He is great for getting information on what to see and do, or getting fresh coconuts out of the trees! Teenagers might need a car to go hit bars, but for parents, you might just never want to move. The kitchen has everything you need for a large group and is well set up. The outdoor barbecue and bar is fun to hang around and serve cocktails. I didn't want to leave and can't wait to go back!

Most Relaxing Vacation Ever

Date of Stay

Aug 15, 2014

Villa Roi Soliel was the location of the perfect vacation for my family. My wife and I along with our 3 children and my mother-in-law were really excited when we picked this house for our vacation. The pictures on the site were beautiful and all couldn't wait to get to the house. When we arrived, we were met at the airport by Wilbert. Wilbert was the nicest, most helpful man during our trip. Once we got our rental car, we followed him to the house. On the way to the house, we stopped at the IGA (Grocery store). It was as good or better than most grocery stores near my home. Once we were at the house he took us for a tour of the house and did a great job explaining how everything worked including the TV's, A/C, home theater and music for the pool area. Most days we watched a movie after dinner. They had a great video library for all ages. The pictures on the website are beautiful, and seeing it in person was even better. Yes, the house is as beautiful as the pictures show, but it does not capture the breezes coming off the ocean, the calming sounds of the ocean waves or the warm sun melting away the stress of the busy and hectic life we left at home. We all decided to unplug for the week and we had no cell phones or watched any TV. I wasn't sure how my 3 children ages 12 to 21 would react, but they all did it and really enjoyed it. Each day we ventured out of the house for an activity. We had either lunch or dinner out at a restaurant and the other meals we ate at the house. The house had almost every kitchen gadget you could imagine. I like to cook and the outdoor grill was my favorite. The house had a wide variety of glasses and I used many of them as we utilized the Margaritaville (Frozen Adult Beverage Maker). The excursions were many times recommendations from Wilbert. Our favorite was to Bugalou's on the beach near 5 Cays, away from the tourist locations near Grace Beach. Wilbert and the cleaning staff were awesome. They were available if we needed anything and they kept the house, the pool and the grounds in great shape. Another great thing about the house was the beach and the kayaks available for our use. We went out to the islands about 1/4 and 1/2 mile off the beach. They are in some of the website pictures. The neat thing was that the water is not that deep and the next day we walked to them. The water was only about 4 ft deep. All-in-all it was the greatest vacation we have taken and can't wait to come back.

Thank you for creating this beautiful vacation home. Villa Roi Soleil was a comfortable home away from home for our family! We spent our time at the villa enjoying the refreshing pool with it’s breathtaking views, dining in the screened in patio and watching movies every evening in the awesome family room. Wilbert was very kind and very helpful throughout our entire stay! Out on the town, we loved: Hemmingways (great fish tacos), Da Conch Shack (a must), Danny Buoys (karaoke Tues/Thurs), Bugaloos (one of our absolute favorites), Tiki Hut (great ribs and lobster), Shark Bite (sharks sometimes seen in the water). The Thursday night Bight Park Beach Party was not our favorite as it was very crowded. We enjoyed our private beach. Kayaked to the middle island, walked to the island on the right at low tide. One morning we spotted a sting ray in the shallows just off the beach! The home was clean and well cared for. Everyone we interacted with (Wilbert and cleaning staff) was kind, helpful and professional. We really enjoyed spending time together as a family this week in this lovely home! We celebrated our 25th year of marriage and Mama’s 80th birthday! The stay was memorable and the pictures breathtaking! Sincerely,

The wine, water and villa hats was a nice touch that you do not see at many places. Quiet, scenic and right on the beach. we took the kayaks out every morning to the 3 islamds and enjoyed the pool and deck the rest of the time. everything was great. The owner stopped by on the day we left to see how we enjoyed the stay. Wilbert met us at the airport, came in every day and took care of everything we needed.

Our stay at Villa Roi Soleil was wonderful! My husband and I, along with our 3 teenagers had a relaxing and peaceful vacation! The home is beautiful and well maintained with stunning views! The turquoise water is just breathtaking. The beach and pool are great! We had the beach all to ourselves. The kids had fun kayaking to the 3 islands and exploring and snorkeling. (Kayaks and paddle boards are provided.) Snorkeling was also fun and relaxing just off the shore in the shallow water. We spotted lobster, starfish, coral, conch, schools of fish, and more. The hermit crabs were fun to watch on the beach too. We also had family fun building sand castles. It was nice to see the kids off their phones and enjoying the outdoors. We played beach ball games in the pool each night. My husband and I enjoyed starting our day on the breezy screened in porch each morning. Such a wonderful way to start the day with such beautiful views! The home is beautiful with everything you need. We cooked a lot of meals in the fully equipped kitchen. We enjoyed playing cards each night in the dining room. The kids enjoyed watching movies at night before turning in. We did explore the island a bit. Grace Bay is just a short drive with a great beach and restaurants. Nothing is too far away. The pictures of the views are spot on. You will not be disappointed with Villa Roi Soleil! We will definitely stay there again!

Jul 16, 2014

After traveling around the island to see many of the beaches and bays we read about before our arrival, we are convinced that not only do we have the best house but we also have the best beach. Probably our favorite activities were snorkeling with Island Vibes (the party boat) and Big Blue (the serious snorkelers). We were taken to some pristine beaches that served as the backdrop for our 2014 family Christmas picture! A truly beautiful home and a peaceful stay!

This was such an amazing vacation and home! Perfect layout and view. Endless pool time, lots of kayaking, snorkeling, paddle-boarding. Found coconuts and had a heck of a time opening them- But they were really good! Went to the Potcake Place to play with the puppies. Ate at Big Al’s for lunch. Thursdays Fish Fry is a MUST!! Ate dinners at Da Conch Shack, Mango Reef and Mr. Grouper’s. All very good! Mr. Grouper’s doesn’t have the best ambiance but the food is great and the prices were too! Wilbert was beyond great! Love him! Mosquitos were the ONLY problem. Didn’t know this until the last day here, But Wilbert would spray the woods around the house. Good to know also- Gas stations take cash only. It’s a perfect place here. Owner comments We are glad you had a enjoyable time. In general , mosquitoes and the very tiny biting flies are not a problem until after a rain (usually 2 days). When it does rain we suggest that guests keep the doors closed starting around sunset. Also if going out for supper we always recommend that people wear long pants as the north side of the island where all of the restaurants are located is lower lying and the mosquitoes and biting flies are always common at night, regardless of he rain. They seen to only bite your feet and legs so the long pants fixes the problem. Again thank you for the kind comments
