We will be back! That should say it all!
I researched for roughly a month to find a safe island for sun and salt during our snowy winter. I kept coming back to Richard's Love Villas. I booked for 17 days in January 2019. Richard picked us up from the airport, pointed out some spots to highlight and then took us to Love Villas. We were stunned that it was possible for the Villa to actually be even better then the pictures portrayed!
Richard explained how to work everything including the remote controlled awning, the Gem electric car, the beach chairs, umbrellas, paddle boards, bikes, snorkel equipment, water shoes etc., As you are catching on....This is like an all inclusive resort with out all the extra charges and crowded beaches. (Sans food and drink) Richard doesn't check you in, never to be seen again. He is present now and again to make sure your needs are met. He made dinner reservations for us and two dive trips to swim the stingrays. The dive company he chose was fantastic. They were Eco Friendly and didn't load their boat with too many people. Richard's knowledge gave us a lasting experience. He also booked us a horse back riding trip which was very fun and safe.
From the beach in front of Love Villas there is a "resident" small-ish stingray. We were told we may see him. Around day 9 four of us were standing in waist high beautiful water and this little guy circled around us for about a half hour. We said he had FOMO....Fear of missing out. : ) My sister snorkeled out pretty far and saw three sea turtles, two really large. Right in front of the Villa you can see all kinds different fish, be it not very big but some very colorful.
The Gem Electric Cars are fun to drive and so handy to explore the island. Our favorite place to eat was up on the ridge so this was a drive. We drove to the light house, Govenors Beach (beautiful) and other places for lunch, dinner and the grocer. We waved and said hello to everyone or they greeted us first. The islanders loved our Gem Cars!
Richard is highly regarded on the island. He and his wife (I wish I could spell her name) are so kind and interesting to talk with. They both will never be forgotten.
In the time I was here I had two sisters visit at different times. All of us felt the same way....We have never felt so comfortable away from home so quickly as we did at Grand Turk Love Villa. The very first night we all slept like babies.
