About this property

Delightful, quiet beachfront cottage

Come stay on a tropical beach in a charming cottage, only a short walk from Cockburn Town on the lovely peaceful island of Grand Turk. Breathtaking views, a wonderful beach, superb swimming, diving and snorkeling are right outside your front door. The combination of fun, informal restaurants, expert dive shops, friendly locals, and a relaxed pace of living makes a vacation in Grand Turk uniquely appealing. A trip to Grand Turk transports you back to the 'Old Caribbean,' before big hotels, high rises and crowds of tourists.

Located right on the beach, enjoy dazzling water views all day, and relax with a drink or dinner while watching beautiful sunsets. The beach has small tidal pools, shade and (usually) gentle waves. No need to worry about 'reserving a beach chair' on Grand Turk. Instead, miles of virtually empty beaches on the western shore offer a tranquility that is hard to find in the modern world.

This house is part of Island Passage, which has this cottage, a three bedroom, two bath house (listing number 3628761), and a one bedroom unit that is not available for rental.


The open plan cottage has a fully functional kitchenette, a large screened porch with a lounging and dining area, ceiling fans and air conditioning. The fenced in yard protects the landscaping from wandering horses and cows. it is literally a few steps away through your gate to the shade of the Casuarina trees on the beach. You can beachcomb and snorkel in front of the cottage, get picked up by a dive boat for a fantastic experience on Grand Turk's Wall, stroll into town (150 yards away) to wander down Duke Street, or rent a bike or hire a taxi to go a little further afield.

This is my 2nd year staying in this cottage. It's very quaint and only good for a max 2 people. *1bed* It's literally a few steps to the beach and the water is beautiful. There is alot of coral but a nice open spot plus bigger open spots up & down the beach. The donkeys and dogs are a beautiful added bonus in my opinion and the neighbors care for them.

Amazing Gem for an Island Retreat

We had a wonderful time at this small house on the beach. We loved going snorkeling, riding bikes, visiting nearby restaurants, and hanging out under the shade of a Casuarina tree on the beach just outside of the gate. We had also plenty of help from Ray, Liz and Anita to find what we needed for rentals and other businesses.

Ray, Liz and Anita are the greatest. Things change fast on a small island and it helps to have people living there to help you out!

My wife ‘s Birthday adventure

My wife and I were looking a quiet time with friendly locals , plus beautiful surroundings. And we found it at the small cottage in Grand Turks. Everyday we were on an adventure from walking the beaches to going snorkeling, plus trying out local restaurants.

A quiet little slice of paradise

The Island Passage Cottage is a charming, no-frills, clean, on-the-beach cottage a short walking distance to town. The space is open and airy with everything needed to enjoy the most relaxing low-key island stay imaginable. Just down the beach is the wonderful Ospry Hotel, perfect for outdoor meals with an unbeatable ocean view. Friendly beach dogs and donkeys stop by the house to say hello, otherwise it’s remarkably quiet with a private beach vibe. Caretaker Anita was helpful in reserving a golf-cart to tour the tiny island, and with taxi pickup from and to the airport. We can’t wait to visit again.

Wonderful Stay

Peaceful quiet spot, beautiful view of the water, Beach is empty except for the wonderful friendly dogs that Ray & Liz the other renters in the main house take care of. We loved knowing that the dogs were on high alert and we never felt safer than at this spot. Close to several restaurants and diving companies. We rented a golf cart for the week and explored the whole island. Highly Recommend this rental for two people not looking for extremely fancy, but extremely comfortable.

Peaceful, delightful stay

Extremely quiet peaceful setting right on the beach! Lots of friendly dogs on the property which roam freely on the beach. Basically no one on the beach except for the neighbor cruise visitors but they’re a ways away. Anita was very friendly and helpful arranging a ride to and from the airport. It was a great location to work from home at on the patio and I’d love to come back!

Perfect get away stay

My partner and I had a very relaxing stay here. Both Shannon and Anita were very responsive and helpful. The cottage is centrally located to the dive shops, restaurants and stores so that we were able to largely walked everywhere. We found the kitchen quite well stocked and Shannon’s welcome packet particularly handy. Being able to step straight out onto the ocean was a big plus. We would highly recommend to others looking for a getaway cottage by the water

R&R Perfection

This cottage is AWESOME. If you want the perfect place for R&R this is for you. Just perfect for a couple. Watching sunsets are the best. Ray and Liz are great. Watching the tourist from the cruise ships are entertaining. A must place to stay if you are in Grand Turk. Walking distance to anything you need.

Of course the beach and the sunsets help too. We cooked almost all our meals in the simple but well equipped kitchen. When we. Ome back we are definitely staying here again.

Island Passage Cottage

We chose this property for the location right on the beautiful, quiet beach and its good price point; it did not disappoint! We absolutely loved the screened-in porch (but would just recommend adding some additional lighting for the evenings). Having bicycles to use would have been a bonus to made it easier to explore the island, get groceries, etc. Overall, a wonder spot for rest and relaxation away from the crowds of other Caribbean islands!

Exceeded our expectations

The property was larger than it seemed from the photos. The owners had listened to previous comments and had provided reclining sun loungers and several choices of seats in the veranda area. There were very good quality saucepans and hot plates. The outside shower was very handy. The property was very well located.

Best Kept Secret of Paradise

This is truly a Gem. My husband, 15 year old son and I stayed in the studio cottage. From the beginning of our reservation to our departure Shannon and Anita were amazing. We had the opportunity to meet Anita and she was so helpful with everything and more! Ray and Liz that live on the property were the best. Truly an experience to unplug and reconnect with Mother Earths gifts. We will be back! Thank you all!!! 11 out of 10!

About the host

Hosted by Shannon Stringer

Host profile image
We fell in love with Grand Turk about 20 years ago. After visiting once or twice a year for many years, we finally bought a place of our own, which we love sharing with other people. Grand Turk is a very special place!

Why they chose this property

Grand Turk is a piece of the old Caribbean. Slow paced, friendly, and very relaxed. A bathing suit, a cover up and some flip flops are all the clothes you need for your vacation here. Step out of the rush of modern life, listen to the waves, feel the sea breeze and feel yourself in the moment.

What makes this property unique

The location of this property is perfect! Right on the beach, just far enough away from the main drag that you feel secluded, but a 2 minute walk to the bars and restaurants and dive shops when you are ready to get up off that lounge chair!
