About this property

LUXE, LARGE ONE BEDROOM- DESIGNER'S PERSONAL OCEAN VIEW RETREAT, La Vista Azul

Our philosophy is simple, when we take time away from work and travel outside of the country, we want to be in a space that is happy, comfortable and COMPLETELY LUXURIOUS! FYI, TURKS AND CAICOS REQUIRES TRAVEL INSURANCE FOR COVID. WE RECOMMEND ADDING PROTECTION FOR CANCELLATION FOR ANY REASON, IT IS A VERY SMALL UP CHARGE TO DO SO. WE USE SEVEN CORNERS.
WELCOME TO POOLSIDE GOSSIP a chic one bedroom condominium with jaw dropping 180 degree views of the ocean. Only 10 steps from our private terrace dive into the pool, one of two located on one of the largest verandas in Turks and Caicos. There are ONLY FOUR UNITS in La Vista that offer a separate one bedroom and are as large as our unit. Did I mention it is on the most private corner? We waited six years after passing on buying one of these rare floor plans for another one to be available again for sale in 2019. We did not settle for less, nor should you on your vacation!! We are thrilled to share ours with you!

We designed the interior of our home with the best of everything. Knowing we would be sending a container to the island one time, quality was essential. All of the seating is from Mitchell Gold, and the art has been curated from around the world. The mattresses are a true Tempurpedic in the master, and a top of the line Sealy in the Murphy bed. If you choose to lounge on one of the two sofas you can gaze at the ocean or watch the 55 inch Samsung smart tv. You will find the kitchen to be fully stocked with gourmet cookware and knives, beautiful table ware and all the small appliances you need to make smoothies or soufflés.

The master bedroom is a private retreat. Large windows with ocean views and palm trees casting dreamy pictures for you from your bed. The luxurious bedding is in the league of the finest homes, exceeding the quality found in even a five star hotel. Pillows are available in down or a down altrnative to suit your preference. Robes are provided to enjoy coffee on the terrace.
There is a pull down Murphy bed to accommodate four guests. Our condo has two bathrooms, one with an oversized glass enclosed shower, the second is a powder room. As our guest, travel size spa shampoo, conditioner, body wash and lotion will be provided upon your arrival to allow you time to settle in before shopping.
You will see from the pictures there are stairs thru the center of La Vista. The parking garage is located at the top of the complex below unit, no need to walk stairs simply take the elevator. Most units do not have elevator access. Pool, privacy, corner location, 1200 square feet and the additional expanse of the poolside terrace four steps from your private terrace.

Why did we choose the name Poolside Gossip? The inspiration for the interior design is an original print of the famous photograph by Slim Aaron's titled, Poolside Gossip shot in the 1970's in Palm Springs California. The pool and terrace at La Vista Azul is very similar to the photograph. It is a bit of American nostalgia brought to the islands!
You will enjoy art from Majorca Spain, Santa Fe New Mexico, London England, Nashville and Memphis Tennessee, and Montvale New Jersey throughout the condo. All original works, we hope the collection makes you smile, entices you to relax and ignites your imagination!

We welcome you to be our guest. I work with all Vrbo and Home Away inquiries directly. Once booked, I will handle your registration and logistics. We also have a property manager on island if needed.

Last but not least, a wonderful breeze!

We love the location of La Vista Azul, on the quiet end of Grace Bay and Turtle Cove Marina. The central location makes all parts of the island easily accessible. Grocery and wine stores, world class shopping and beaches are at your fingertips .

Turtle Cove Marina is below La Vista and is a fabulous place to grab lunch, dinner or cocktails at one of many restaurants. Enjoy socializing and dining with locals and fellow travelers at The Shark Bite, Magnolias, voted best view on island, or Baci. All are an easy stroll from the unit. Ask to buy some fresh fish when the boats come into the marina to cook at the condo. If you are feeling adventurous, charter one and catch your own dinner!

BEACHES
There are beaches worth seeing in every direction. Each one is equally beautiful and all with their own unique personalities. GRACE BAY is always rated one of the Best in the World and not to be missed. A nice stroll will take you to GRACE BAY from our beach. We are partial to OUR BEACH and here is why! The views change to multimillion dollar homes dotting the beach .2 miles away. Homes not resorts means no tightly packed rows of chairs. They are replaced with sea gulls, natural beauty, soft sand, blue water, and very few people. We consider it a hidden treasure! You are also a stone throw from Smith reef for amazing snorkeling.
Take a walk and be right on GRACE BAY or choose a quick 2 minute drive will take you along the 16 mile beach.
We recommend visiting SAPODILLA BAY to experience the renown calm cove with brilliant water. Locals serve great drinks and sometimes specials from the grill. Opt to rent a jet ski, paddle board, to just walk out hundreds of yards in the shallow turquoise cove. Dine at Las Brisas for a great meal. You know you have found Sapodilla Bay when you see the restaurant sign. Both are 10 minutes away!
Traveling to the NORTH SHORE you will pass The Conch Shack and we highly recommend you stop for rum punch and conch cooked fresh from the shell. There is little development and lots of natural beauty on the North Shore. A completely different experience only 15 minutes away.
Popular with kite boarders, LONG BAY is known for riding horses along the beach and is only 10 minutes from the condo and an unforgettable adventure!
These are a few of our favorites but there are many more!

La Vista location lets you go everywhere on the island with the most flexibility. Although we have designed our condo so that you may not ever wish to leave, Provo is a big island. It is worth seeing as much as you can! Rent a car and experience everything Turks and Caicos has to offer.

BOOK TODAY, AND LET THE ADVENTURE BEGIN!
PLEASE NOTE THAT TURKS AND CAICOS REQUIRES ALL VISITORS TO THE ISLAND TO BE FULLY VACCINATED. VISIT THE TOURISM SITE FOR TURKS AND CAICOS FOR UP TO DATE REQUIREMENTS. WE RECOMMEND THIRD PARTY INSURANCE IF CANCELLATION IS NEEDED. SEVEN CORNERS AND OTHERS ARE APPROVED BY TURKS AND CAICOS ISLANDS FOR COVID INSURANCE AND CANCELLATION CAN EASILY AND CHEAPLY BE ADDED.

Beautiful Stay

The unit is ideally located off to the side of the complex and right next to the pool. The view from the sliding glass doors is beautiful. The unit is appointed with everything you could possibly need. The location is ideal, where you can easily walk to the beach or many restaurants. Amy and Michael were extremely communicative and accommodating, offering many great suggestions. Our stay was fantastic- we definitely would recommend the unit to others and would love to be able to visit again!

Gem by the sea

We loved our stay at the condo. Everything you need for a beach getaway is at the condo. And we enjoyed cooking in the fully equipped kitchen. Pool out the front door, beautiful hillside ocean view and short stroll to the most amazing beach, and several restaurants made this an ideal location for our 2 week stay! Highly recommend!

Unit 2101

We really enjoyed our stay at this unit it was beautiful and clean. We enjoyed the relaxing ambiance by the pool. The hot tub was great as well. Staff were also friendly. The Wi-Fi in the unit wasn’t the greatest due to the weak service. The safe didn’t have instructions nor a key, so was not useful and lastly we sadly experienced a loud (buzzer like) noise approximately every 15 coming from the refrigerator, for 4 nights all day and night long.

Amy is a great hostess. Communication with her was easy and timely. The unit is beautiful, clean and perfectly situated in the complex. The ocean views and pool right there for you to wake up too. The kitchen had everything you needed and having the beach chairs and towels made our beach visits that much more enjoyable. We’d definitely choose to stay here again.

Excellent stay

Everything was excellent - the condo was exactly as described. We loved the décor and it was perfect for my wife, teenage daughter, and myself. It had everything we needed and then some. The unit is only a few steps from the pool deck - perfectly situated to provide easy access while maintaining some privacy. The pools were great, and there were always plenty of poolside lounge chairs. Multiple dining options are a short walk, with a couple of options on the same property as the condos. The nearest beach access is a little further - walking distance but you won't want to be carrying much (very easy to drive/park at the beach as an alternative). As described the closest beach is fantastic, especially if you want to snorkel. If you want to adventure to a few other beaches, most are within a 10-15 min drive. I strongly recommend renting a car - parking at the condo is easy, and the lot is gated. And there is typically parking anywhere you want to go. After spending some time exploring the island, I was very happy we decided to stay near Turtle Cove - the perfect blend of things to do without dealing with the crowds near the resorts. Amy was very responsive and gave us plenty of tips on where to go and what to do. Made for a fantastic vacation!

Beautifully-kept, totally comfortable and well-thought out, great location, large swimming pool 10 feet from the outdoor terrace...you couldn't ask for more! If/when you go, please respect the property and keep it as pristine as it is so when we book next time, I can write the same review!

Top 5 reasons for 5 STARS*****

5. The location, with an ocean view but not on the ocean made it less than half of on ocean price. 4. The owner has very tasteful furniture, art, and books, TV, and appliances. 3. It was EXACTLY AS PICTURED, parking convenient, close to elevator with no necessary stairs like other units. 2. Beautiful cross cut TRAVERTINE floors. 1. Best corner unit LOCATION poolside in the La Vista Azul high end complex, 1,000 steps from the beach.

Beautiful Unit in an Awesome location!

The property is exactly as pictured. We did encounter a large amount of slugs throughout the unit, so it was not recently cleaned but it was not overly bad. We arrived at night, to a foreign place, with codes to enter the gate and unit that did not work. Amy answered immediately once I got my phone to work in the country. There definitely needs to be better signage for the property. And maybe a complimentary bottle of water in case you arrive really late? Also consider making a small "info" book for incoming visitors that mentions that Simones is right down the stairs in case your needing quick access to food later in the evening. We drove around (lost like true newcomers) and could have easily walked down. Overall beautiful area, away from tourists, but close enough to drive to the popular areas in Provo. We loved it and the bed IS AWESOME!!

First time on T & C

The property was very nice and comfortable for us. It is close (walking distance} to good restaurants both casual and upscale. There are good transportation options on the island if you are not interested in renting a vehicle. You will need some type of transportation to get to groceries and the larger shopping area.

About the host

Hosted by Amy Smith

Host profile image
My husband and I were married on the island 10 years ago. After many island trips to the Caribbean and The Virgin Islands, we found our heart to be in Turks and Caicos. We live in Nashville Tennessee and have four children in their early 20s. This is our version of "Caribbean Life"!

Why they chose this property

We have been coming to the island for decades now. We have stayed in countless different properties over the years and decided that La Vista Azul in this particular floor plan would be our dream beach home. We waited two years for one to become available and completely remodeled it.
We enjoy being able to visit Turks and Caicos and also have a property in down valley Aspen Colorado. VRBO 590516. We are happy to share them both with you!
