Paradise!
We had the most amazing vacation. This villa is exceptional! It was close to the beach, had enough space for our family and was just perfect. The location is truly fantastic. It is just a short walk to the beach- which in our opinion is the best beach! Thank you, Ramona for sharing your home with us and being such an amazing host!

Great Location!
Loved the location of this very nice property in Provo. Easy check-in, lovely host, super friendly and accomodating property manager, and perfect beaches to visit everyday. Loved the set up in the backyard too, just needed the pool temp to be lower to make it perfect. Great option for your stay in Turks! Thanks for sharing your house with us!

Fabulous Experience Renting Barefoot Palms
I highly recommend Barefoot Palms based on our experience renting recently. I traveled with my husband and three young children and the house was perfect for us- close to the beach, the pool was perfect and the outdoor seating well set up for lots of outdoor hanging out. The description of the house and property was very accurate. Ramona was also incredibly helpful leading up to our trip- offering countless recommendations and answering questions about our stay and how to prepare. We had an incredible trip and highly recommend it!

Excellent experience
Everything was wonderful, from the very comfortable house to the beautiful beaches and delicious restaurants. We were 6 childhood friends who like to vacation together at different locations. Our host, Ramona, was so easy to connect with also. Would definitely recommend!

Our Christmas Vacation
The Barefoot Palms Villa exceeded our expectations! It was a beautiful, clean house with vaulted high ceilings which really accented the living space. There was plenty of room for our family of 5 adults. Everyone felt very comfortable sleeping. The outdoor patio with pool and Tiki bar was such fun. There were plenty of lounge chairs and a comfortable sectional to hang out there. The only negative was the construction project which we were warned about. They do start early and the Master BR can hear the work most clearly. One kind of got used to the noise, but I would have preferred less of it. The beach access was very convenient and we all loved Pelican Beach. My husband and I would head over to Sunset beach to do our morning walks toward Grace Bay. All in all a wonderful stay! Thank you, Ramona for sharing your beautiful villa with us! Patricia and Boris

Summary

We stayed at this house for a week in March 2022. Our group was my husband, myself, 0ur 12 year old daughter and 2 friends in their 50’s. We have stayed in Leeward area before and it is our favorite area due to the best beautiful beaches. It is also close to Long Bay where my husband kite boards and to Grace Bay with lots of great restaurants. Ramona was the best experience I have ever had on VRBO in that she had the most thorough communication prior to our trip. The property manager was extremely kind and helpful and provided any information we needed about the house and the island. This house has a really great pool and we loved the Tiki Bar. Layout is perfect. I cannot say enough good things about it. Also the Tommy Bahama decor is really fun. If you get a chance to book this house-do it! We hope to return.

Summary

Barefoot Palms met our every expectation. The villa was just beautiful and perfect for our family of six. We loved having a private pool and being so close to the beach. Ramona provided everything we needed for a trip to the beach – chairs, umbrellas, towels, coolers and a cart to carry them. Sunscreen and bug spray were also available! The kitchen was well equipped for dining in. Jerelle, the property manager was quick to respond to any questions. It was a perfect family trip and a great place to reconnect. Two things: be sure to rent a car so you can explore the island, and if you’re sleeping in the primary bedroom, be aware that there is no door to the bathroom (though the toilet is tucked away). Just so you’re prepared…. I totally recommend this property and hope to return someday soon!

Summary

Thanks Ramona for providing an excellent getaway location for our recent family trip to TCI. Barefoot Palms Villa provided every thing we needed to spend a relaxing time together. The Leeward location was quiet yet provided excellent access to all that TCI had to offer. The villa was equipped with everything we needed. Romana provides beach chairs, umbrellas, towels and coolers for any beach excursion. We enjoyed the pool after coming back from our day of exploring or golf. We really liked the location because the villa is located in a secure community, yet only 5 min by car to most excursion pickup locations and the many restaurants and sport bars located in Saltmills Resort area. The villa is nicely decorated in the island vibe and you feel at home almost immediately. Romana was also very helpful in providing discounts to many of the excursions and responded very quickly to all my questions. Of all the companies she recommended, Island Vibes was a disappointment. Even though it is advertised as a half-day trip with snorkeling, we were only given approximately 20 min to snorkel out of 4 hours. So if your goal is to snorkel, look for another company.

Thanks Ramona for helping our family enjoy the best of TCI!

We really enjoyed our 9 day stay at the property! The local manager did not meet us at the airport or do the check in process due to a family issue, but that was ok we figured it out on our own. The house is lovely and has everything you could want. The beach is a 4 min walk and is lovely. I highly recommend it. The kids loved the pool!

Summary

I just cannot rate this house and it’s owner Ramona highly enough. The house had everything and more. The pool was amazing. That was our favorite part. I could not get my 5 year old out of it ever. The house had everything. I have a pretty serious food allergy so eating out can be hard. We cooked in several dinners and had everything we needed and more. The beds were so comfortable. The house was spotless. The best part of this house was the location. Just a couple of blocks from (two) of the most pristine beaches in the entire world. We drove to the slightly (4 minute walk further) beach (b/c we were that lazy and didn’t want to carry our stuff down two short blocks even though there were backpack chairs and a rolling cart) most days but at night walked to the beach at the end of the street to watch the sunset. We saw dolphins and the most beautiful sunsets.

Ramona was so quick to respond every single time. She also gave us great advice on going to North Caicos which was such a cool adventure.

Jerrell the property manager was amazing too.

I came back home wanting to return instantly. It is just as close to paradise as you can get! I absolutely was the most relaxed I have been in two years. I have sent the property to coworkers and family members and highly recommend to anyone wanting to relax.

Thanks again for letting us stay at your lovely home!

Not only is this home beautiful, but the host is also one of the most helpful, knowledgeable people we met on the island. Ramona went out of her way to help when we needed a place at the last minute. The information she provided was clear and it made the reservation process smooth and easy. (It pays to find someone like her who communicates with her guests.)

We were so happy because Barefoot Palms is almost always booked! You should make your reservation early, so that you can enjoy this islandy, fun home with a HUGE pool! We were quite fortunate. We are sorry there was a cancellation, but happy that we were able to be the recipients of the opening. Do not hesitate to book.

It was so comfortable, the pool is wonderful… there is NOTHING here NOT to speak SUPERLATIVES OF.

Summary

This was our 7th time on the Island we have stayed in Villas all over the island. Ramona was excellent to deal with her home is extremely clean and fully stocked. I don’t need to look any further for the perfect spot to stay, we were only 3 minute walk from the beach and Ramona supplies everything you need for the beach, even the beach chairs were like new, the pool was a great size and kept clean, she also has a great size Weber grille. Thanks again Ramona for the use of your lovely home.

Summary

Everything about our stay at Barefoot Palms was perfect! This home is lovely, the beds are beyond comfortable, and everything you need is here. You are truly a 4 minute, easy walk from the most beautiful beach you’ve ever seen – we made this walk multiple times each day of our stay with two kids, no problem. And yes, the ocean and beach here are even more beautiful than the pictures. Our stay at Barefoot Palms was perfect and we would come back in a heartbeat. Thank you so much!

Summary

The home was amazing from the pool to the bar in the back to the decorations and rooms…all made for a perfect tropical retreat. Additionally the location was super close to the beach and a short drive to everything else that you could want to do on the island.

Also the owner was a huge help in answering any and all questions and making sure we were comfortable and happy.

We have rented this Villa before so we knew what to expect and it was
as we remembered
The floor plan was perfect for 2 families. My granddaughters love the pool
right off the kitchen and making us breakfast smoothies at the “Tiki” bar.
The younger practiced her with her new snorkel in the pool as her sister had 2 yrs ago and off they went to the reef off “Somewhere” of see turtles, rays and “fishes”. Their mother dove again and experienced the “best dive ever” – actually with a humpback whale !!!!
they rode with Provo ponies -we took a pontoon boat in Chaulk Sound out of Las Brisas which was beautiful – the water colors are amazing!
Another wonderful memory
thank you

Summary

We would highly recommend this rental. The location is ideal and the house has so many things available to make you feel right at home. Thank you Ramona for everything. I really appreciated all of your emails and advice. Thank you also to Wendy and Jameka for your assistance throughout the week. We will miss the kitties….. all three of them we so sweet. We woke up our last morning in Turks to sun and 80 degrees, and ended our day back home in Pennsylvania to snow. I think it’s fair to say we will be back and hope to stay at this beautiful property once more.

Summary

We’ve been to Provo 4 times within the past 10 years and Barefoot Palms was the best! We will be back! Rental was easy.

We’ve traveled extensively on Providenciales for our family vacations. Our preference is for more secluded beaches & favor those located by the leeward side of the island including Sunset Beach (long and expansive) & Pelican Beach (smaller, more cove like) at the eastern tip of Grace Bay.

Both beaches are within easy walking distance (about 5 – 8 minutes) of the house and are straight paths. Barefoot Palms comes fully equipped with practically new Tommy Bahama beach chairs, coolers, umbrellas and even a beach cart with big wheels to lug all the gear over sand which we easily did for the four of us! We had long stretches of Grace Bay beach on the leeward end all to ourselves with the exception of the occasional passersby. Absolutely gorgeous!

But enough about the beaches. The Barefoot Palms Villa was perfect for the four of us my daughter, her boyfriend, my wife and myself. We easily could have accommodated more people as there was still an additional bedroom that went unused. The house is open concept which makes for great entertaining. It is even nicer than the pictures. And if you want to watch a movie, the selection they have on hand is phenomenal.

Every day after the beach we would rinse off at the outdoor shower and then chill out by the pool and Tiki Bar. We had brought along a Bose bluetooth speaker and played from a Caribbean songs list from Spotify as we recapped all the activity of the day. One night we even cooked steaks (we had brought with us from Boston) on their gas grill that was very nice.

We rented a car because we are comfortable driving on the island. You don’t have to rent a car to stay here but I recommend it as the cabs are expensive or at least rent bikes or scooters. The best supermarket(Graceway Gourmet) that is in the heart of Grace Bay is too long to walk but would be about a 20 minute bike ride or scooter ride or a 10 minute car drive. There are also smaller convenience markets located at Blue Haven (about a twelve minute walk) which is stunning that are open to the public even though it is an all-inclusive resort where you could pick up a six pack of beer, or a bottle of wine, or fresh coffee & croissants.

I feel like I know Ramona although I’ve never met her because her personality shines through in the decor and flow of the house. It is stunning and remarkable. I have a feeling she is too.

We had a 7 girls (women) trip. We did a lot of relaxing and this home is the place for that. The pool was fabulous. Plenty of room for all of us with all we needed. The closest beach is walking distance but a bit rough. We found Sopadillo beach the place. Go on the snorkel trip with Island vibes and don’t miss the Thursday night fish fry with the local dancers. We will go back to this house and they could not have been more helpful and accommodating. Thanks Ramona and Jameka.

This place was perfect. Close to the beach, room to spread out, affordable, and minutes from dining and shopping. Clean and as promised.

Summary

We just returned from a week long stay at Barefoot Palms and it was absolutely amazing. The house was perfect for us and two other couples. Spacious enough for everyone. The accommodations were great for 6 adults and we had plenty of room in all other areas of the house. We cooked a couple meals in, enjoyed games on the patio, lounging by the pool, and way too much time at the Tiki Bar. We would highly recommend this location for anyone visiting TCI. Everything we needed was there from towels, linens, paper products, coolers for the beach and even laundry detergent. The location was perfect we were a short walk from the beach and a short drive from all the activities on the island. My main suggestion for visitors to Barefoot Palms is to ready the notebook left with all the information about the house and the island. It was so helpful in making our decisions on where to eat, what to see, and excursions to take. The owners have done a tremendous job in providing information to all their guests. We will be back! Thank you for your hospitality

We were 3 couples staying at the barefoot palms villa during the last week in April 2018. This beautiful home had plenty of space for all of us. All of the bedrooms have very comfy beds and a/c units in each. There is also central a/c in the rest of the house. We especially loved the pool area and tiki bar. We barbequed on the patio and made a lot of great memories in this great spot. This house is a short walk to a spectaular beach. We also found another entrance to the beach a little further away but still walking distance that allowed us to walk the beach all the way down to the resorts. We rented a vehicle for the week and spent a lot of time exploring this beautiful island from one end to the other. I highly recommend this home! Thank you Ramona for sharing your sancuary in Turks & Caicos.

This was our fourth trip to Turks, but our first time in Leeward. Barefoot Palms was perfect for us–a comfortable home base, near to everything in Grace Bay but far enough away to have peace and quiet. We loved being so close to Pelican Beach and appreciated how the house was well equipped with entertainment options.

Summary

We stayed at this house for five nights at the beginning of February. Finding the house and checking in was a breeze. All of the instructions that were provided to us were spot on. Jameka, the property manager, was extremely pleasant. She met with us for a few minutes after checking in to show us over the house. We also had a chance to briefly meet the property owner, who was staying elsewhere on the island for a few days. She was wonderful as well and it was easy to tell that this was someone who truly cared about her guests and took the utmost care of her house. The property was incredibly clean, and I don’t think the location could be beat. It’s in a great neighborhood and was a stone’s throw from from all of the restaurants and activities of the Grace Bay area, but also secluded enough to really relax and enjoy some peace and quiet. The pool area was great, the bedrooms were large and spacious with very comfortable beds. The house had everything that you could need including beach chairs, towels and coolers. Also all of the TVs had Netflix which was really nice as well. The beaches near the house were gorgeous. We tried going to the heart of Grace Bay one day, but we found those beaches were more crowded and not anywhere as nice as the Leeward beaches closes to the house. As previous reviewers mentioned, renting a car is a must, but it’s really a piece of cake getting to the house and getting around. Something we tried that was a lot of fun was using Discovery Tours. Via boat, they dropped us off for the day on our own private island with food, drinks, chairs and umbrellas. We brought a Bluetooth speaker and some snorkel equipment and had an incredible time exploring. This was our first time to Turks and Caicos, and we usually like to travel around and see new places however this was one house that we agreed we will definitely be coming back to. Thank you so much Ramona for allowing us to use your perfect beach house!!!

Summary

The house is very much as it looks in the pictures. It was clean and comfortable and a 10-15 minute walk to beautiful Sunset beach in the Grace Bay area. This is definitely the side of the Island you want to be on. The Grace Bay beach area is 7 miles of beach so beautiful you are not sure it can be real. The sand is so soft and the water so clear it takes your breath away. The tiki bar was a lot of fun to hang around and the pool is lovely. There is a little cat that hangs around who is cute and sweet and becomes the house mascot. The kitchen is well stocked with cooking items and we never needed something we did not have. There are some spices and salt and pepper there for you to use. I really recommend to pack some pre-packaged food and snacks in your suitcase as food on the island is very, very expensive. I also recommend (Ramona the owner clued me in) you pack a bottle of alcohol, rum, vodka or the like as again it is very expensive on the island. By doing this, we saved a lot of money that we could enjoy on other things! The refrigerator has filtered water and makes plenty of ice. They also provide coolers and ice packs for a day on the beach. The TV was a bit confusing to use but they have tons and tons of movies to watch. They also provide beach chairs and beach umbrellas which were very nice. There is a washer and dryer but honestly we never used them. They provide plenty of beach towels but a few more bath towels would have been appreciated. The bedrooms were lovely and the beds were very comfortable. The bathrooms were very nice and there was plenty of hot water. They say there is a max on the electricity but we must not have gone over as we were not charged anything. I think we tried to turn out lights and did not go crazy with the A/C but we were not crazy or anything. We did a combo of eating in and eating out and were happy with the dining table and the picnic table outside. I guess there is a concierge, but honestly, she came at the beginning and we never saw or heard from her again. All in all the house was wonderful and I would give it my recommendation, Thanks!!

Summary

Just returned last week from a week in beautiful Turks and Caicos. It goes without saying that the beaches in Turks and Caicos are among the most beautiful in the world. Well, this villa was the perfect home away from home to return after a hot day on the beach. Ramona has stocked the villa with everything including spices for cooking and every utensil and appliance that you need for enjoying a relaxing meal at home. Restaurants, shops and grocery stores are a short 10 min. drive away. The pool is a perfect place to cool down after sunning on the patio and there is a small beach a short walk from the villa when you don’t want to deal with crowds closer to the shops. All of the items that you need for a relaxing day at the beach like towels, chairs and umbrellas are sitting right at the front door in the villa.

My family and I throughly enjoyed out time at Barefoot Palms and look forward to visiting again soon!!!

Summary

Our family really enjoyed stating at Barefoot Palms during our vacation in Provo, Turks and Caicos. If you’re looking for an area of the island that is more relaxed and away from the hoards of tourists, this is the place to stay. Very easy walk to white sand beaches and turquoise water where kids enjoyed swimming for Conch shells. Surf here was minimal where safety was not a concern. Only a handful of families on the beach (felt like a private beach). The house has beach chairs, umbrellas and beach towels to use. Pictures of the house are right on mark. Very clean house, great outdoor area in the back, fully furnished kitchen (pots/pans, etc), a safe in the master bedroom are among some of the key highlights. Never saw any bugs inside. House has central air and each room has A/C although we rarely needed to use it. Kids (9 and 11) really loved the pool. It was nice to come back from the beach and use the outdoor shower to get all the sand off. As FYI for those with disabilities, the house does have steps from main entrance/bedrooms to the living room/kitchen/patio pool. House is close to shopping and restaurants. We had a rental car (a must) to be able to get to all the good snorkeling places and restaurants (Grace Bay and Turtle Cove recommended). On the same area of the island we recommend Big Blue Unlimited outfitters. We used them for scuba diving (limits each boat to few divers for better service) and kayaking to the protected Iguana Island (kayak from Big Blue to the island and Mangroves). The whole team of Barefoot Palms is VERY responsive. They get back to you very fast, something that was much appreciated compared to past VBRO experiences. Ask them about the discounts available for restaurants and other vendors when you book your stay here. If we go back to the island, we hope that it is available. Definitely would stay there again!

Summary

We traveled with my parents and our children for 10 days. This villa was by far and away the best we have used! There was plenty of room for us all, it was safe, and every amenity you needed was there! Blender for morning smoothies at the tiki bar, pool toys, beach toys, travel cooler with ice packs, beach chairs, games, outdoor shower to rinse off sand, washer and dryer, appliances that all worked! Ramona and Jameka were always accessible for any needs, recommendations, or questions. The pool was perfect for those hot afternoons before dinner! And it was cleaned even twice while we were there! The location was what we were looking for…walk to the most beautiful beach I have ever been on, just far enough from the major hub of Grace Bay but a short drive there, and in a very safe area.

Our personal recommendations for the islands… AquaTCI for diving! Hands down a fantastic scuba diving operation! They are a small company that provide smaller, more personalized scuba experiences for every level of experience. Safety is paramount as it should be! All new and well maintained state of the art gear for rental. The diving in the Turks is simply amazing!

Dinners- Best dinner was Bay Bistro. Baci was beautiful particularly outdoors and more affordable than other places on the island. We also enjoyed Magnolia’s. We were greatly disappointed in Coco Bistro for the money and the fact that we had to make reservations 3 months in advance. Yummy and memorable lunches at Somewhere but beware of the woman beading hair on the beach there! also just off Somewhere we were just snorkeling and came across eagle rays and turtles in 15 feet of water!!

You will not be disappointed in this villa or this island!!

Summary

We just returned from our 10 days at Barefoot Palms and we can’t say enough about the Villa or the communication with Ramona and Jameka.

The layout was perfect for our family that included 2 girls ages 5 and 8, their parents and grandparents – everyone had their own space. The girls were in the pool from 7:30am and only came out to go to the beach – only to return to the pool after the beach!!! We wanted for nothing in the villa as well.

What can I say about the Turks?? A different day a different beach and all are beautiful. Our family divided up for some activities, but, enjoyed Provo ponies and riding the beach, Bugaloo’s where the younger granddaughter also got to ride the ponies, scuba and snorkeling off “Somewhere”. So many wonderful restaurants!!!

Caicos Café, Bay BIstro and Magnolia’s stand out as 3 of our top choices.

We usually ate breakfast in – by the pool, made lunches and go off for the day.

Thank you helping us make wonderful memories – we will be back!!!!

Summary

My family and I just got back from Barefoot Palms where we stayed for 10 days. The house was perfect for the six of us. With three bedrooms, a large living room, and kitchen/dining area we had plenty of room to spread out. We brought quite a bit of food with us and grilled out three nights for dinner. Each day we would casually have breakfast and then plan our day. Most days included a short, easy walk to the most beautiful beach imaginable, Pelican Beach. We’d then have lunch out by the pool and relax (nap) in the warm sun during the afternoon. For dinner we’d eat in or try one of the great restaurants close by. Our rental car sure came in handy as we explored Chalk Sound, Turtle Cove, and Sapadilla Bay – beautiful beaches everywhere. Jameka was there to check us in, answer our questions, and help get us settled in. The wifi was excellent (important to me as I did some work while there) and all the TV’s have Hulu, Netflix, etc for complete entertainment. We highly recommend Barefoot Palms and hope to return again!

My wife and I stayed at Barefoot Palms for a week, and it was the perfect escape. As soon as you walk in, it feels that you are home. The back patio was where we spent most of our time. It is very close to Pelican beach which is beautiful. All of the major restaurants and shopping areas are only 5 minute drive which is very convenient. Ramona and her team made the process very easy, and I would highly recommend this villa to anyone who is looking for the perfect private getaway.

My wife and I have been down to Turks and Caicos 7 or 8 times in the past 3 years. We quickly switched from resort experiences, prices, and product to home owner offerings. We love to swim particularly in pools and had wanted to rent this well priced villa fir sometime and finally got the chance this past November. We were extremely pleased with the home, and found it to be genuine, inviting and well situated. We particularly enjoy leeward for the community feel of the area and typically start our day with a walk to blue haven for coffee. The home is ideal for a full family with plenty of space to spread out. We will be back again with extended family and look forward to Ramonas hospitality. The owner has great insight into the island and never hesitates to respond to any question we asked.
Great experience. Thank you

Summary

This is a perfect home for an island get away. Perfect for families to rent since there are three bedrooms. The location is great with a beach right down the road, which was our favorite. We did drive all around the island but always found ourselves back at this beach. The house had everything we needed, the pool was a great way to end our day.
Ramona was so easy to deal with and answered any questions immediately. She had lots of suggestions.

Barefoot Palms is a good surprise, a very nice home perfect for a small group or family.

Located in most desirable area in Provo, beach, shopping, activities and dining.

Summary

We rented Barefoot Palms for a week in July. We’ve used vbro many times and we had another wonderful experience this time. First off, Ramona, the owner is terrific with answering questions, giving recommendations, assistance etc. It saved me a lot of time rather than going over to the Tripadvisor forums to ask questions. Also when the power went off in Leeward for just 45 minutes one night, Ramona called to check up on us. Also, Jameka and Wendy who are nearby on the island are very helpful if the need arises.
I am so thankful that we stayed on the Leeward end of the island because we felt this beach was by far the most spectacular and suited our needs better than Grace Bay. I had looked at another property that was in the chalk sound area and I’m so glad that I did not choose that one. It is just a short walk to the beach and I went running every morning on the beach up to Emerald Point. There are some large homes built on this beach, but they are set way back so as not to deter from the beauty of this amazing beach. Try snorkeling around some of the rock formations. Also, we felt the safest in this area of the island, not that we had any issues, but it was a very nice community.
Lastly, the house is older, but is well maintained and has everything you will need. The pool is wonderful and the plants, trees surrounding it are beautiful. We’ve been on many islands where the internet/tv/electricity/water etc gave us problems and that was not the case here. You won’t want to spend a lot of time watching tv or using the internet, but it’s there if you need it. The rental price is right on target, and compares to similar homes we’ve rented on other islands.

Summary

My husband and I spent a beautiful long weekend this winter at Barefoot Palms!
Every positive bit of praise below from other guests regarding Barefoot Palms is right on the money! Actually it is even better than described!
The Villa is much more beautiful thank the pictures show!! it is SPOTLESS & extremely well equipped! has everything you could possibly need and then some etc. a Very short walk to a GORGEOUS BEACH!
The OWNER AND ON ISLAND MANAGEMENT STAFF A PLEASURE to deal with whatever you need taken care of!
But since all this has been said before over and over
I want to ADD a bit more!
We have been travelers for many many years. For beach trips we have covered a lot of the Caribbean, South Pacific, Mediterranean,and even Asia. But Providenciales has become our favorite for many years now!
HOWEVER one thing we have INSISTED ON no matter where we go! We love being in a hotel/home DIRECTLY ON THE BEACH or at least a FULL VIEW of the water right outside our door or porch!!!
WELL…..THANKS TO BAREFOOT PALMS that has changed BIG TIME! We are CONVERTED!
From day one we not only LOVED IT but felt as if OUR OWN HOME was transported to the Caribbean with the addition of being only STEPS from gorgeous beach and with a pool and even a TIKI BAR!
The term HOME AWAY FROM HOME is casually tossed around by people all the time but Barefoiot Palms ACTUALLY REALLY fits that bill!!!! with ALL the amenities even satellite TV! (great for a rainy day!)

DO NOT HESITATE TO TRY THIS LOVELY VILLA! We are counting the days until our next visit!

The beach was only a few streets,you can walk,but we drove because I was lazy and didn’t want to carry all the Beach gear ..Lol!! Any questions that I needed help with I just called Jamika, she was Great! You call and she right there to help you!

Summary

We loved Barefoot Palms! The house is more beautiful than the pictures show. It’s a very easy walk to the beach, just two blocks straight shot on a paved road. Everything in the house is up-to-date and very well equipped. The beach is absolutely beautiful, we’ve been to 4-5 other islands and Turks and Caicos with the clear, turquoise water and white sand is definitely the most beautiful i’ve seen. Many great restaurants, but our favorite was Cocoa Bistro which you will need to make a reservation for a month prior, unless you have dinner in the lounge, which is what we did and loved.

Summary

3 couples–my husband and I, my brother and his wife, and my niece and her husband, enjoyed a week at Barefoot Palms Villa in Turks and Caicos. The house was beautiful, very well equipped, clean, and decorated beautifully! The pool was a favorite spot–swimming, the tiki bar, and the cute little swim-up table in the pool were thoroughly enjoyed by all.
The Wi-Fi was great; the kitchen was very accommodating.
We didn’t mind the short (very short) walk to the beautiful turquoise water of the beach!
We felt very safe at the villa.
Ramona, the owner really answered alot of our questions before the trip and her staff were just a call away when we needed anything.
Providenciales itself is a beautiful place..the water of the ocean is the prettiest…we did a boat ride and snorkeling excursion, which was a great way to see Sapodilla Bay. The restaurants we tried were very nice. And we loved the Fish Fry on Thursday Night!
We definitely want to come back to Barefoot Palms and it was a great week there!
Thank you Ramona for sharing your home for a great vacation experience!

Summary

Our family of 4 stayed at Barefoot Palms for 8 nights over the Christmas / New Year’s holiday. It was our second trip to Provo. Barefoot Palms is an awesome house – well equipped kitchen, etc. Leeward is very quiet and Pelican Beach, about 2 blocks away, is mostly deserted. Beach chairs, umbrellas and the coolers provided were a real nice touch. Pool was a great place to unwind at the end of the day, or to cool down after a morning run on the beach. We loved it so much that we tried to book for next year, but were too late!

Summary

We loved it. What a great place. Larger than the pictures show and nicely updated. It has every thing we needed for our trip. Great bedrooms, large enough kitchen with about everything you need. Eating areas inside and out. Security system to make you feel safe (truly we always felt safe everywhere we went on these great islands). A pool. TV area with way more channels and movies than we needed.
The property manager was great. Met us at the airport and brought us to the villa. Showed us everything we needed and let us be.
We are a family of four with a 10 & 12 year old girl and boy. We had more than enough space and felt very at home here. The pool was great for our lazy days and the beach about 2 short blocks away was fabulous. In the villa there was a binder with directions to many beaches and brief write ups on many restaurants.
The islands themselves are truly amazing. If you are looking for perfect weather and the best beaches then this is the place.
Did I mention Ramona? The villa owner is a wealth of knowledge on TCI and very willing to share all she knows with you. If you email her she will answer, and very promptly too. I have nothing bad to say about this villa, every thing was better than we expected. I would recommend it to friends, family and others and will defenately stay here again.
Thank you Ramona for your part in our perfect vacation.

Barefoot Palms was the BEST choice for our family in Turks and Caicos! Spent 6 nights on June 25-July 1 2014. The house was wonderful and fully equipted with everything we needed from beach towels to beach chairs to the blender we used daily to make our own margaritas! Our teenage daughters loved both the pool and the proximity of the house to the beach… We even spent an evening as a family watching the stars come out on the beach! This was the best family vacation we have taken in years!! Can’t say enough about how fantastic this house was for us! Am planning our return visit now!!

Summary

Enjoyed our short 5 day stay at Barefoot Palms! The home has everything you can possibly need. The pool and tiki bar is a true Oasis ! It’s so peaceful and very relaxing. The weber grill that we used just once cooks to perfection wish we had more days to chill. It’s got such a big yard even throw and play catch which my 11 yr old and hubby did while the girls just floated in the pool. The pool ( inside) has sit down area with umbrella which is great if you want to stay out of the sun but keep you body in the water! House is big enough to spread out and have your own privacy which is great if you want to read a book or such. Will be back with more days and the rest of the family next time! Thanks Ramona

Summary

This was our second time staying at the villa and once again it did not disappoint. In fact, we became more in love with it and Provo. Our family of four (boys aged 6 and 4) feel so at home here and enjoy the pool and 2 minute walk to one of the best beaches on Provo. The house is welcoming and it has all the ameneties/supplies you could want. It’s truely a home away from home and minutes drive to everything on the island.

Summary

Three of us stayed at Barefoot Palms for two weeks in February. We absolutely loved it. The house is FULLY equipped with everything you can possibly require, from small kitchen appliances, to BBQ items, etc. Beach items are provided for your outings suchs as chairs, coolers, umbrellas, etc. The house is comfortable and we only had to turn on the air conditioning at night. The ceiling fans keep the house cool enough during the day (that is if you are staying inside). The ouside dining area is ideal – that is where we had all our meals when we were eating in. The pool is great and the beach is so close (a 5 minute walk down the road). Restaurants are about 10 minute drive (a car is necessary if staying in Leeward since taxis are expensive). The owner was a pleasure to deal with and answered all our questions. I wouldn’t hesitate a minute in recommending this villa which comfortably can accommodate six people. My one suggestion would be to bring bug spray though – since there are lots of shrubs surrounding the property we found after having dinner out the first night that we had little bites on our legs.
Thanks Ramona for sharing your home away from home with us. 🙂

Just returned from an amazing trip to Turks. Staying at Barefoot Palms was the best decision! The house is beautiful (photos don’t do it justice). 5 min walk to the beach and it felt like our own getaway. You’re far enough away from the resorts you don’t get a lot of people on the beach, but close enough it’s just a short drive to tasty restaurants. Definitely try Hemingway’s and Somewhere Cafe! We LOVED the pool/tiki hut for late night happy hours and swimming! All of us agreed we would come here again! Thanks Ramona, it was a trip to remember!

We stayed at Barefoot Palms for one week — and couldn’t be more in love with a place! The villa is beautiful, and exactly like in the pictures you see. The most amazing beaches are a couple minutes walk from the house. I highly recommend a rental car during your stay.

Ramona & Simone were great to work with and very helpful during the booking and our stay on the island.

We can’t wait to go back and would definately stay here again. THANK YOU!

Summary

Our family just returned from Barefoot Palms, and what a fabulous vacation spot! After touring the island and seeing the other areas we considered renting at, it was obvious we chose the best place! This home is beautiful, comfortable, clean, well stocked, and in a lovely area! We very much enjoyed the pool, patio and grill . . . large area, private . . . fun day and night! Pretty with the night lighting and tiki torches. The surrounding beaches are gorgeous and private. Simone, the property manager, is very sweet and helpful! We were there for 8 nights and had a mid-week cleaning as part of the rental, which was nice! Ramona is FABULOUS at making recommendations and suggestions for places to go/things to see and do, as well as very patient and responsive to any questions you may have! I just cannot say enough good things about our experience on the island!! Grace Bay Car rentals and Caicos Dream Tours do honor the 10% discount for staying at Barefoot Palms with no problem! The 1/2 day snorkel trip with Caicos Dreams Tour was one of our favorite tours, as was our island tour with Rosa with Paradise Scooters. She was WONDERFUL and extremely knowledgeable about the island! You cover a LOT of ground on her tour, which we did our first full day on the island, and includes a visit to the Conch farm, Chalk Sound, Leeward, Long Bay beach, and lunch at Boogaloos, which was beautiful AND delicious!! You see the entire island, which orients you for the remainder of your trip. We highly recommend this property!

We had a very enjoyable stay, the property was very comfortable, unfortunately the A/C broke down but was attended to the next day. Now if we could get a really effective mosquito repellant that would be the icing on the cake, unfortunately we can’t even do that here in Toronto. We had no complaints and would certainly recommend to other people. The property manager was very helpful.

Summary

Three couples stayed here last week and had a great time. I was wondering if I’d be wishing we’d stayed ON Grace Bay Beach instead but I never felt that way. On the contrary, I think that Leeward Beach is just as beautiful and the fact that it is not even remotely crowded was such a bonus. We spent time on a few beaches and the only one I’d say beat Leeward Beach was Taylor Bay-recommend if you have the time but keep in mind it’s a smaller, quieter beach that is very family friendly.

Barefoot Palms is very well stocked and the house is so clean. The pool is wonderful and fun to seating outside. The property management company is amazing. We emailed a couple of times for very minor things and the response from Simone was instant. Just a note, the power and water went out for a short time period (power once, water twice). Not an issue at all, it was back on within an hour, however if we’d known we wouldn’t have called the first time after 20 minutes or so. I am guessing it’s just intermittent outages from service on the island. Anyway, can’t say enough good things about the house, the owner, the management company.

We ate out a few nights and our favorite restaurant was Coyaba. It’s close to the house, the atmosphere is beautiful, but it was really the food that stood out the most. Amazing. Coco Bistro was excellent and Mango Reef has a view that can’t be beat.

If you are looking for a relaxing, peaceful, getaway location with pool/beach, privacy, safety etc., this is the place. Definitely rent a car.

Summary

I recently spent 4 days in this lovely home and highly recommend it. I have stayed at many villas in the Caribbean and none have been as well maintained or had as much attention to detail shown as Barefoot Palms. The landscaping is gorgeous with lots of palms and flowering trees. The back yard is to die for…nice pool, lounge chairs, sitting area and the best part of all – a great Tiki bar. The outdoor space is great for kids and adults, and is very private. Inside, the first thing you notice is how fresh and clean the house smells. Not musty like some villas. The layout is great and the decorating is perfect..casual and beachy, yet upscale. You can tell the owners take a lot of pride in their home. The kitchen is well stocked, there are TVs and DVD players in every room, there is an alarm system in the house, and beach chairs, coolers and umbrellas are provided. The villa is located in a quiet, gated neighborhood and is a short walk to a great beach or a short drive to the main section of Grace Bay Beach. The owners are great to work with – very responsive and can answer any and all questions about the island. I can’t wait to go back!

Summary

Our stay at Barefoot Palms was everything we had hoped and imagined it would be. The pictures of the house are accurate. Our stay was very comfortable. The home was spacious and clean. Everything we needed for our stay was on property. The owners and the property manager were very helpful in recommending activities for our stay and where to dine. The house is a short drive to many spectacular beaches, the marina and restaurants. For our family, it was a huge help being able to laundry throughout the week as needed. Our favorite outings were riding horses on the beach thru Provo Ponies, sailing/scuba diving thru Sail Provo, and Stand Up Paddle Boarding thru Big Blue. Our personal favorite beach was Long Bay Beach. The water is shallow for miles at low tide with minimal waves. Perfect for younger children. The salt water pool in the back yard was enjoyed often when we were tired of exploring and just wanting to relax. Animal lovers beware….there are a ton of stray dogs and cats throughout the island. You are able to adopt healthy pets at no charge and bring them back to the states with just paying the airplane fee. Unfortunately, the puppy we fell in love with had parvo and we are still waiting to learn his outcome after treatment. Animals can be couriered to the USA by volunteers to unite them with their new families. So if you are looking for a new member to add to your family, it is a great opportunity or if you just want to help get one to its new home. Check out Potcake Place and the TCSPCA to find out ways you can help or make donations. We will come back to Provo and would seriously consider staying at Barefoot Palms again. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us!

We just returned from a great vacation in Provo and one of the highlights was this Villa. It was exactly as advertised and very well maintained. It was also in an excellent location, close to the beach, but in a quiet residential neighborhood. The owner provided significant information on Provo prior to our trip, which certainly enhanced our vacation. I would definitely recommend this property to anyone visiting Provo.

Fantastic kiteboarding at Longbay Beach, great instructor, Mike Haas of Provokites. Grounds were beautiful, bed was comfy, meet and greet was friendly, great air-conditioning included (which is unusual for the Turks). The owner was very helpful and a pleasure to do business with, credit card payment is so easy. We hope to be back !!

Summary

After reviewing condo after condo we decided to rent a house that wasn’t on the beach. We chose wisely. The location is perfect, you are very close to Grace Bay restaurants and beaches, Turtle Cove snorkeling, etc. The house is great. Tina the onsite manager is awesome. The owners were very helpful with info before and after the trip. DVD collection and directv helped entertain my 5 yr old daughter. Kitchen was more than adequate. Typical days were like this, my wife and child woke up and went to the shaded patio in back for breakfast, I slept in, then went for a dip in the salt water pool, had a snack, then went to Grace Bay for a meal and beach time, snorkeling in the afternoon at Coral Gardens or Turtle Cove, Heinekens on the beach at sunset, then dinner at Tiki Hut or casual place on beach. Return to house for dip in pool and beers at the poolside tiki bar. When i got back to work it was like getting punched in the face… The nearest beach access is 2 blocks, it was damaged by what looks like Ike in 2008 (?) but a bit further west is another better access. We drove to most beaches so we could go anywhere. My wife appreciated the security alarm, but we always felt secure. Community is gated with nightwatchman.

Summary

Barefoot Palms was everything my husband and I wanted it to be: beautiful, beachy and as relaxing as a place can be with a 2 year old running around!

During our week vacation, we explored the island (I highly recommend renting a car to get around), checked out local shops and eateries (two thumbs up for Da Conch Shack), shelled the beautiful beaches, and relaxed by the picturesque pool and tiki bar.

The home was exceptionally maintained inside and out (the vrbo photos are an accurate reflection of the amenities and space). Tropical yet classy decor, a plethora of beach towels, and an extensive movie collection for kids and adults are just a few of the extras that made our stay all the more enjoyable.

Food prices on the island are rather expensive so we were glad that we brought our own meat to prepare throughout the week. The kitchen was well-stocked with pots, pans, dishes, etc…, and the outdoor grill made al fresco dining convenient.

We highly recommend Barefoot Palms to anyone who wants to enjoy the true spirit of Turks & Caicos instead of a hotel version. It was definitely hard to leave this tropical paradise!

This was our fourth trip to Turks, but our first time in Leeward. Barefoot Palms was perfect for us–a comfortable home base, near to everything in Grace Bay but far enough away to have peace and quiet. We loved being so close to Pelican Beach and appreciated how the house was well equipped with entertainment options.
