NEW INGROUND POOL 2018. Car Rental may be available to rent a with Hopewell Villa. This modern 2 Bedroom Bungalow is located in a quiet residential neighborhood just 2 streets south of Grace Bay Beach by Coco Bistro Restaurant. (Hope St runs Parallel with Grace Bay Road/Governor's Road which is the main strip along Grace Bay Resort Area). Solid concrete construction with vaulted caribbean wood beam ceiling on the inside. The dramatic height of the ceiling with the large ceiling fans & windows allows the fresh tropical breeze to blow through along with the energizing sunset.
Beautiful Ceramic Tiles that appear like Hardwood Floors throughout. The Kitchen has modern white cabinets, a large pantry, granite countertops, a double undermount stainless steel sink with high quality taps and lots of windows to look out of while you clean up. 5 Stainless Steel Appliances including a built in dishwasher & microwave.

Open Concept Great Room with 52" wall mounted Smart TV can be viewed from the Kitchen area, the breakfast bar, kitchen table & the Sofabed & loveseat. The TV area has a well built wicker sofa bed & loveseat with comfortab in a tasteful blue/green solid/pattern mix, with matching coffee table, end tables, lamps, wall art & decor rug to tie it all together.

Gorgeous vaulted caribbean wood beam ceilings painted white to match the trim & entry doors & closets keeps that Cape Cod Tropical Clean decor to flow thru the Villa. Each Bedroom has a wall mounted Smart TV with Wi-Fi, a keyboard with remote allows you to shop for the movie of your choice, television shows or hook up your laptop or your own Netflix Account.
Queen Size beds have 600 thread count, high quality white sheets, shams, a down filled duvet, 4 pillows with pillow covers, pillow cases & a throw blanket. White sheer curtains, high ceilings, high end floor tiles & ensuite bathroom make a very comfortable, super clean atmosphere that you would be proud to call your home while exploring the luxurious Turks & Caicos Islands.
The Master Ensuite Bathroom is accessed from inside the master bedroom only. Wall to Wall 21 x 21" italian marble tiles in a warm neutral shade, along with a soaker tub for those that enjoy a nice relaxing bubble bath at the end of the day with a glass of wine, candles & soft music. There is also a glass shower stall. The vanity, sinks, toilets and all materials are excellent quality.
The 2nd bathroom has the same beautiful tiles, walk in oversized glass shower with high tech shower system & rain shower head too. The floor of the shower is pebbles which feel great on your feet.
There is a full size washer & dryer in a room off the hallway with the same solid wood, levered double doors that the bedroom closets are made of.
The front entrance has a lovely covered porch with warm exterior tiles that look like stones but much easier to keep clean. The 1 acre lot is well manicured with palm trees, shrubs and beautiful beauganvalia. You can feel the warm tropical breeze coming off Grace Bay to the North & the Provo Golf Club to the east. Sunshine Nursery is to the west of the Island's "Coco Bistro" Restaurant on Grace Bay Road. The Nursery Property has thousands of mature Palm Trees that look like a tropical forest. The ambiance at Coco Bistro Restaurant is largely due to the cascading palm trees that canvas as the rooftop of the restaurant. The palm trees are decorated with clear white twinkle lights which creates a truly beautiful, enjoyable place to enjoy an incredible meal with family, friends, co-workers or to host a business meeting.
You can walk or drive to the Grace Bay Club which also has one of my favourite outdoor atmosphere's beachside. The Grace Bay Grill has casual dining outdoor with tiki torches, hanging lanterns, outdoor glass fire pits to roast marshmallows or sit around while you sip on a glass of wine, cocktail, healthy juice or protein shake or delicious cappacino.
This is also home to "Aneacoana", the Islands Longest Bar which has barstools along a long glass bar with beautiful lighting that jets north towards the beach and looks as though it goes into the ocean. There are also several conversation tables around the firepits or beautiful high end double fireplaces. This makes a great place to relax and upload your photos of the day to Facebook, Twitter or Instagram to share your experience with other's who may be thinking about where to take their next vacation. They have a LIVE BAND at least 3 nights a week, call to be sure. Most entertainers play from 7pm to 11pm and longer if thier is demand.
They host incredible events like weddings & corporate retreats here. There are 4 poster queen size beds around one of the Inground Pools, along the beach. This is an extremely romantic, luxurious place to lay next to the one you love and rekindle the flame while looking up at the most beautiful sky you have ever seen.
I have celebrated everything from Mother's Day to New Years Eve at the Grace Bay Club's Property. You can park in the lot or walk in from the road or the beach. They want you to enjoy a meal or buy drinks and relax & mingle day or night.
If you set up your beach chairs it is convenient to walk up to the washroom, they also have a lovely clothing boutique, spa, and a kid's club where you can pay for your children to enjoy a day with local children or visiting children. The kids club has events for all ages including teens: the can enjoy watersports, swimming, beach days, a mixture of arts and crafts and exercise all while making freinds with people from all over the world. Sometimes they go boating, waterskiing or wakeboards, horseback riding & even overnight camping on a remote cay. Feel free to contact them before your arrive. You can give them $ for a discounted lunch while on thier excursion or land adventures. Also Rickis Beach Bar.
You can also purchase a day pass to take your children to "Beaches Turks & Caicos" if you want. It is much more economical & enjoyable to "Rent a Villa" like one of Sweet Escape's Villa's for a week or 2 or 3 and purchase a day pass at a rate of approx $300 per adult & $200 for children to enter Beaches at 1030am to 6pm for an "All Inclusive" experience. They have sesame street characters, a huge water slide and surf simulator and pirates cove entertainment area. It is a nice treat young children for 1 day only, any more than that then you would need tylenol. Families enjoy Renting a Villa and having the freedom to explore the Island on thier own time and visit 7 Different Beaches, 6 different places along each beach, go on a incredible 1/2 day snorkel trip in Grace Bay with a company like "Island Vibes" or "Caicos Dream Tours". Their boats have slides and diving boards, they provide the snorkel gear and take you to the best snorkel spots just inside the Barrier Reef's Wall. You can see land and enjoy looking at the Real Estate along Grace Bay, Pine Cay, Dellis Cay & make a stop at Iguana Island to walk the boardwalk with a local guide to mingle with the Rock Iguana's. There are a few look outs which are important opportunities for you to take a memorable family photo with the most beautiful backdrop of green mangroves, several shades of turquoise ocean, contrasted with the bright colours of the kayak's and stand up paddle boarders & mega yachts in the background. I highly recommend you take at the very least one of their 1/2 day snorkel trips. They usually run two a day. One from 9am to 1pm. and 130pm to 5:30pm. Check out their websites or ask me as they also have Private Charters for "Full Day Beach Barbecues", trips to Middle Caicos to explore North & MIddle Caicos. You will pass "Parrot Cay Resort" which is home to the Rich & Famous. Hollywood Actor Bruce Willis has a beautiful waterfront villa on Parrot Cay. He has a golf cart on the beach. Super Model Christie Brinking also enjoys vacationing there.
