Etoile de Mer (Star of the Sea) in Turks and Caicos

Nestled in palm trees on .75 acre of land that adjoins Taylor Bay (locally
known as Sunset Bay), Etoile de Mer is an architect designed and
owned island home perfect for gatherings of families and friends.  Etoile offers the best of all worlds:  Taylor Bay, private tennis courts, and privacy afforded by lush gardens of bougainvillea and palm trees.  People love Etoile so much, they come back year after year.   

Etoile's architectural design was inspired by gingerbread Caribbean manor houses.  The wrap-around veranda allows you to sit in peace surrounded by palm trees and marvel at the beauty of the bay and enjoy sunsets.  The house is sited perfectly to catch leeward breezes through screened doors and windows.

The attention to detail and the ambiance make this island home feel
like your home, not just a "rental." 

Taylor Bay, which many have called the most beautiful beach in the
Caribbean, is the only beach in the Caribbean which does not have
public land access but for you, it's just 150 steps away.  Walk on the fine white
sands, swim in its chrystaline turquoise waters, or take one of the
kayaks provided at Etoile out into the Caribbean.

Or succumb to the gentle breezes and relax in Etoile's fresh-water
pool surrounded by bougainveilla or under the pool-side gazebo.

Want to play tennis? Just steps from Etoile are private, recently
resurfaced tennis courts, complimentary to you and your guests.

In the evenings, watch the sun set over the bay from the veranda,
enjoy one of Provo's fabulous international restaurants, grill your own food on the five-burner stainless steel grill on the upper pool deck, or invite a chef into Etoile to pamper you and your guests. Even better, ask him to fix dinner for you on the beach.

The next morning, pamper yourself again with a visit from spa
therapists, anxious to come to Etoile and ensure your relaxation.
