Review submitted: May 21, 2013 Date of arrival: May 5, 2012
We just returned from an amazing week at this villa. We had three families with three children, and we had the time of our lives! There was plenty room and the views and the pool deck are just unbelievable. The sunset views on the balconies are not to be missed! The service from the moment we booked, to the follow up after we returned home was top notch! We were greeted at the airport and shown around the villa to make sure we felt comfortable.
The villa is right around the corner from Taylor Bay Beach, which is one of the best beaches I have seen, and the water right in front of the villa is fantastic!
We had to write just to let everyone know that this is a great villa at a great price!

Pure Bliss and Relaxation
Review submitted: May 21, 2013 Date of arrival: March 10, 2012
We stayed at Sunset Point Villa for my 40th birthday and had such a wonderful experience. One of our favorite things were the lobster fishermen that drove by every afternoon around 3 where we simply flagged them down and bought fresh lobster, red snapper and grouper and had them clean and fillet them and literally seasoned and put directly on the BBQ for a wonderful dinner. We did this three nights because it was so good. We also paid a 20% surcharge on the groceries and had them delivered before we arrived, highly recommend this as well.
The owners are very helpful and keep the house in great shape. We had three couples plus one extra adult and were very comfortable in the house. It is very private and great beach/snorkle access. We absolutely loved the house!!!

Fabulous villa in the perfect location
Review submitted: May 21, 2013 Date of arrival: March 3, 2012
Just returned from a fabulous stay at Sunset Point Villa. The location of the villa could not be more perfect! It's a short walk (in the water or on the path) to Taylor Bay beach, which is perfect for kids because the water is shallow. If you rent kayaks or paddleboards (we rented both from Big Blue Unlimited, which delivered them to the house), you can paddle up to Sapodilla Bay, which is also a magnificent beach. We also paddled to a shipwreck just beyond Sapodilla bay, where we snorkeled and explored. The tennis courts, hard surface, are along the same path from the house to Taylor Bay beach and are in nice condition. The deck of the house is spectacular, with flowers and palm trees, and the sunset views are priceless.
The house is extremely well-equipped. There's a stereo with indoor and outdoor speakers, a collection of over 100 CD's, a big screen TV with cable and a DVD collection of about 80 movies, a Weber propane grill, two refrigerators (great for keeping water and beer cold at all times) a washer/dryer and every kitchen amenity you could ask for (coffee bean grinder and Cuisinart coffee maker, dishwasher, etc). We also enjoyed volleyball in the pool - pool floats and beach chairs are also provided. A second floor hammock is the perfect place for a nap! The house is very well maintained. A cleaning lady appeared mid-week, as did the pool maintenance crew to keep the pool crystal clear.
It's about a 15 minute drive to the IGA supermarket, which is huge and has everything we have at home, though the prices are predictably higher. They even have a decent selection of wine and liquor at the IGA. The smaller Quality Market is closer but not as well stocked - good for staples, water, milk and the like.
We spent one morning sailing with SailProvo. The catamaran took us to Iguana Island, which has a short trail/boardwalk from which you can spot the Iguanas. We then snorkeled for an hour and sailed to a quiet beach for a BBQ and a swim. We found better snorkeling at Smith's Reef (described elsewhere on Trip Advisor).
We also rented Jet Skis one afternoon at Sapodilla Bay. Look for a guy named Mark who has a pickup truck and a cute dog named Winston. He rents the Jet Skis for $150/hr. He also sells Conch shells, if you're looking for a souvenier.
This is a great house in an ideal location. Providenciales itself is rather ugly; the economy has been struggling for several years. But with a private property this beautiful, you never need to leave!

Best villa we've rented yet!
Review submitted: May 21, 2013 Date of arrival: February 4, 2012
Just returned from our first visit to Turk & Caicos with three other couples who have done different caribbean islands every winter. This villa far exceeded our expectations and it was a unanimous #1 vote for best villa we've rented! There was no need to ever leave the house. Breakfast on the veranda, watching the dolphins-lunchtime snorkeling off the dock-amazing sunsets every evening (waiting for the infamous green flash)--nighttime star shows. The house had everything we needed and we never felt crowded, even with eight people. Bring serious bug spray as the mosquitos are relentless at night. We definitely had a wonderful vacation and the villa was about as perfect a location as you can get. You will not be disappointed with anything in this villa!

A Week in Paradise
Review submitted: January 16, 2012 Date of arrival: November 5, 2011
Traveled to Provo with family to celebrate a special birthday. The villa was wonderful and we had the best time. Plenty of space and it had everything we needed. It's very private and away from the main resort area so you definitely need a car if you plan on doing any activities or food shopping. The water is amazing and looks exactly like the photos. You can't find a better place to watch the sunsets either. Definitely would stay there again if I ever make it back to T&C.

Fantastic experience
Review submitted: January 16, 2012 Date of arrival: December 17, 2011
The house was perfect! Just as advertised, unbelievable views from every room, very nice deck and pool area, all the water toys you'll need, and the prettiest beach in the world is right around the corner! The host was there to greet us at the airport and showed us around the house, and we even had a nice fruit basket and cold beer in the fridge to greet us! Would definitely go back...

Home away from Home - in the Islands
Review submitted: January 16, 2012 Date of arrival: July 30, 2011
Sunset Point Villa is an exceptional property. From the ease of booking, arrival etc. this was an amazing vacation. This was our second time at this property and I can not wait to return. Having a bedroom wing, each with a private bath and entrance connected to the main house, made this so friendly for our group of family and friends. The pool deck offered fantastic views … Do yourself a favor and GO !

Exceeded my expectations!
Review submitted: January 16, 2012 Date of arrival: September 24, 2011
The photos on Sunset Point Villa's website are not enhanced - they are an exact representation of what you'll find! I have spent time in fancy and not-so-fancy places in several countries - this was the best. Private, with more than the basic comforts of home… Plenty of comfy furniture for all of us and then some. Plenty of cooking utensils. Comfy beds and plenty of quality towels. Plenty of shade when we wanted it and a lovely breeze. The private ocean access was a delightful extra!

Amazing Experience - Location, amenities, etc.
Review submitted: January 16, 2012 Date of arrival: January 2, 2011
We stayed at Sunset Point Villa the week of January 2. Unbelievable experience. We loved the location (about 15 minute drive from Grace Bay, which we didn't want to be on top of). We could walk to the beaches of Taylor Bay in about 3 minutes. The sunsets were amazing, pool was great, house was huge! The only complaint I have is that most houses near us had ocean kayaks, and this one did not. That would be a nice addition, but beyond that there is nothing at all to complain about, and a ton to be excited about. If we come back to TCI we'll stay here again, no question.

Fantastic Getaway!!!
Review submitted: January 16, 2012 Date of arrival: February 13, 2011
It was everything and more than we could have asked for... The home is well equipped for family needs with a pool and an array of water toys, music, games and Dvd's.
After several days of exploring the island my wife and I agreed it was always good to end the day at Sunset Point! Each morning we enjoyed a walk on Taylor Beach, about 5 mins. from our front gate. The landscaping, view and support staff were amazing. When we return, we'll stay here again and bring the rest of the family.

A Week In Paradise!
Review submitted: January 16, 2012 Date of arrival: March 1, 2011
Just a line to say what a wonderful time our family had staying at Sunset Point Villa (now we understand why it's called Sunset Point).
The place is very well furnished and spotless, the staff was extremely pleasant and informative. There was nothing we wanted for.
We stayed in for dinners until the last night by celebrating our last evening by going to Las Brisas which was outstanding.
Sunset Point is the one true place to relax and enjoy life. We all agreed that it was the best vacation we've ever had, and we all hope that sometime we may be able to return.
