Lovely stay
We are pretty low key guests and enjoyed staying in a very low key location. Cruise Ships did not hamper our peaceful stay. Highly recommend Graceway Grocery if you are inclined to cook during your stay.

Beautiful island house
We loved staying in Robert’s house. Location is great being right on the beach and close to dive shops and restaurants. Lolli was super helpful and we rented a golf cart to tour the whole island. Would definitely stay here again!

Amazing Views, Peaceful Location
My wife and I really enjoyed spending a week lounging around and watching humpback whales and a manta ray right from the patio. The beach has great sand and good snorkeling. The sunsets are unmatched and the constant great weather of this island ensures an unobstructed view every night. The house itself was adequately equipped for eating in and getting a good nights rest. The liquor store is only a block away and there are several places to eat within walking distance.

Back again, and will be back again :)
This is our third time at the house. Perfect layout for a couple or even two couples. Great communication between the property manager, Lolli, and helpful setting up transportation when needed. House nicely stocked with kitchen basics and beach towels and info on things to do. A view that you can't beat. Walking distance to the Duke Street restaurants. We will be back!!!

Beautiful and laidback location
This was our first time visiting Grand Turk. We weren’t sure what to expect, but whatever level of expectation we had was exceeded by the island and this house specifically. The island contact was great and responded to every concern that came up with promptness and concern. The island itself is a gem. Very laid back and by the time you leave you feel like a local. If you are looking for a party, this might not be the spot. If you want a quiet and relaxing island getaway, then I highly recommend the island and this house. If you do stay here, make sure to say hi to “Blondie”, our favorite potcake,

Paradise found
What can I say about Roberts House other than it is everything you need for a perfect getaway. We've been coming to Grand Turk for 6 years (every Nov and April) but this is the first time we stayed at Roberts House. The house is completely set up for a perfect stay. The host has thought of everything. A fully equipt kitchen for cooking. Really there is nothing I would change. Having dinner every night outside while watching the beautiful Grand Turk sunsets was a great way to end perfect day after perfect day. The washer and dryer onsite was a great touch. Lolli was amazing, responsive and took care of everything we needed. If you are looking for a great, quiet place for family or friends ... this is the place for you! We will be back.

Overall very nice but very overpriced.
There is a,major problem with ants and mosquitoes Everywhere in the house. You need to have a major pest control company Get rid of this problem!Also the water pressure in the main floor bathroom sink was nonexistent. The electricity on the counter next to the fridge did NOT work at all. You need an electrician to check all the electrical outlets and lights. We has good meals at the restaurants and did cook as well. We liked that the island was not developed but these issues need to be addressed. We also liked the dogs and donkeys and hope that a spay and neuter program is,successful.

Perfect Location for Relaxation
We couldn't have picked a better spot. The house is located right on the beach and the water was crystal clear. The most people we ever saw hanging out on the beach or in the water was 5 and that's including me and my wife. Both bedrooms have mini split units, those and the ceiling fans in the bedrooms and main room kept things very comfortable inside. I would recommend keeping the shutters closed on the sunny side of the house to help keep it cool. Our host had arranged for a taxi to pick us up from the airport and that was very convenient. Being right next door to the Sandbar was great. They have amazing food and the people there are super cool. The most noise I heard from there the entire stay was from us hanging out there. Be sure to say hi to Goggles, she's one of the local dogs and hung out with us a lot. As far as the island is concerned, it's very laid back. Besides the Carnival's cruise port you won't see your typical chain restaurants or stores. We did discover that some things on the island are only open when a ship is in port. I didn't find that to be a problem because you don't come to an island like this to be surrounded by other tourist. I highly recommend arranging for golf cart during your stay. With a little help from the locals we found the grocery store and were able to pick up some basics for our stay. We had a golf cart dropped of on the Saturday we arrived and actually drove it to the airport the day we left and were able to leave it there for pickup. I highly recommend this house, this host and this island. We are already making plans to come back.

Couldn’t be better
We had an amazing experience staying at the Robert house. Hard to believe having the ocean as your backyard for a few days. The amenities provided everything, from laundry to a full kitchen to snorkeling gear and paddle boards. It is also right next door to the excellent Sandbar and down the street from other bars and restaurants. The chef at the Turk’s Head Inne is outstanding. Bernadette was easy to communicate with and the property manager Lolli was a lifesaver, she helped us with everything we needed. Idyllic is the right word to use. Highly recommended, would stay again and hopefully will soon.

Amazing stay at Robert's house!
I really can't say enough good things about this property, island, and host. Transportation was arranged from the airport. (free tip, avoid Inter Caribbean air if possible, and fly Caicos Express from Provo) The island host Lolli, met us at the house and gave us a quick tour. The house is clean and has plenty of space. The views are simply amazing. Sunsets, wow! We loved the island dogs that came by to visit. It helped us being away from our pups. We didn't do any cooking, but the kitchen was nicely stocked with whatever you may need. I loved that we were on the main tour bus route. Several times per day they would drive by and point out the house as a historical landmark. We got to know one of the tour guides Tracy. Good guy! I'd yell out the door and tell the tourists to leave him a big tip! The locals on the island are amazing. They are all so friendly and you really get the impression they want you there. We felt 100% safe at all times. 5 days wasn't enough. We can't wait to come back. Thank you!

We went on a much needed post Covid girlfriend trip and The Roberts house was the perfect getaway for us. Duke St. is the perfect location on Grand Turk - you can't be more central than this to anything you would want. The house is so nice with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms that are separated - a decent sized living area (although we spent almost no time inside!!), everything you would need in a kitchen and then that perfect back deck and beach. There really is nothing else we could have asked for - so thank you for renting us your house for our stay! And let me not forget the amazing property manager on the island... the most responsive, hard working, happy and pleasant person you could ever deal with! 5 stars from us :)

Great property
We stayed at Roberts House for 1 week at the end of April 2021. The location is excellent, lovely beach and close to restaurants. We did find the upstairs bed more comfortable than the downstairs bed. The shower is a bit tricky to maintain the water flow but once you figure it out it’s no problem. The property owner was great about communicating in a timely manner and the local host, Loli, was available if we needed anything. Overall it was a fabulous trip!

Serene island getaway in paradise
My family of 5 stayed for a week here in Grand Turk. The historical Robert’s house circa 1850 is a charming place to visit— located walking distance to area restaurants, dive/snorkeling companies, near the quaint downtown and most importantly directly on the beach— what more could we ask for. Helen, the owner, happened to be staying in the house next door, and we enjoyed visiting with her. She is most hospitable!!! As far as location, we were steps away from the beach with snorkeling from shore and spectacular sunset views. The SUPs provided were an added delight! Most of our days were spent outdoors— in the many lounge chairs, hammock, outdoor sofa, or actually in the water. We took advantage of the breezes and would often eat our supper outside. The pictures and description accurately described this home. The kitchen was well stocked, considering that we cooked most meals. The bedrooms were very charming and the cot was already prepared upon our arrival (remember we are a family of 5) For those who enjoy a traditional/historical Caribbean home on a more quiet and relaxed island— this would be the place. Grand Turk is definitely an island community- a place where people smile, wave and genuinely welcome you. It is a very safe island that fits more so with what a traditional Caribbean island used to be. It is not over run by hotels, chain restaurants, night life- if that is what you’re looking for then Provo would be a better option. Grand Turk is peaceful, quiet, slow paced and more quaint— where donkeys, horses and potcakes (local dogs) run free— where you can ride around the island in a golf cart instead of cars— where you can go anywhere and be included and more importantly feel like you belong. It is a home away from home

About the host

Hosted by Bernadette Somerville

Host profile image
Hello! Thank you for checking out our listing! Simon is originally from Scotland and myself, from Toronto, Canada where we met. We have been living in Ottawa since 2001. We are both self employed and enjoy working from the comforts of home. We are also parents of two (so far, loving) teenagers. Simon works as an independent accounts manager for several local companies and I, Bernadette, work in my studio creating designs for clothing and home. We have traveled to West Coast Canada but have also visited Simon's family in Scotland and, just recently, my family in the Philippines. We have been visiting Turks and Caicos for almost two decades! We enjoy the great weather and friendly, easy going locals. Although we've had amazing fun in Providenciales, GRAND TURK is where we now enjoy our holidays. During our visits to Turks and Caicos, we've enjoyed family holidays, a wedding, and contributing to the renovation of new homes and Inne for others to enjoy.

Thank you for visiting our page for the property in Grand Turk, Turks and Caicos Islands!! Please feel free to contact us with any further questions or concerns.

Why they chose this property

The house is located on Grand Turk where island life is quieter and more serene. The locals are friendly - the beaches and ocean warm and welcoming . The home serves as a vacation haven (along with 'Simon's House' next door) for us and our closest relatives residing mostly in Canada and Scotland. The family has owned property on Providenciales but life there although fun and exciting, has gotten too busy. We all now love the seclusion of Grand Turk and it's welcoming and friendly people.
