GREAT LOCATION
The privacy on this part of the island is amazing. If you want a quiet romantic getaway in Turks, this is your place. Some appliances were not in working order and the room was extremely small, however you are paying for this location and it's beautiful privacy.

Wonderful place!
Great property to stay at . I would highly recommend this place to anyone coming to the Turks and Caicos islands. Great location just minutes away from Grace Bay. Steps away from an amazing beach that's wonderful for kiteboarding. Mike our host was helpful, kind and made sure our stay was comfortable, always asking if we needed anything. Definitely will stay here again.

Incredible property and beach access
We absolutely loved our stay at Villa Esencia! The property feels like private luxury, with it's lush landscaping and meandering stepping stones to the beach. The room was clean and the perfect size for 2 people. I also loved having a private patio. The owners were really nice and so were the other guests, who had been visiting for years.

Hidden Gem in paradise!
All I know is this....I'm definitely coming back here again! The house was gorgeous--clean, well kept, and beautiful. The location is par none, the best I've ever stayed at for a VRBO. Private pool, hottub, access to SUP boards, kayaks, and literally on the ocean----the CLEAREST bluest waters you will ever swim in. The weather was 95 everyday and just simply gorgeous. Can't recommend this place enough :)

Second-to-none rental
The rental property we stayed in was the Karana Studio 2. The convenience factor alone was quite amazing, essentially being given 'keys to the palace' without any hiccups during our 4 days. We were sent an email with detailed instructions that greatly assisted in making our experience unbelievably smooth. When you arrive on this gorgeous property, be prepared to be amazed, having the soft sand and crystal clear beaches footsteps away from your front door. We had an amazing time and will definitely come back. Thanks for such an unforgettable experience.

Perfect stay in Long Bay!
The whole property was beautifully maintained, and the studio was exactly as pictured. It was very private and we had the shared pool all to ourselves most days. The air con worked perfectly and the bed was very comfortable. There is secruity coded gates at the front of the property so it felt safe and secure staying there. I would recommend hiring a car if you are staying here as its not walking distance to shops/restaurants. Grace Bay is less than 10 minutes by car. We had the most perfect stay, and hope to come back next year. You will not regret booking this studio!!

Six days in paradise
The studio unit was absolutely perfect- clean, spacious with fully equipped kitchen and cute outdoor patio. Very private yet easily accessible to pool and beach. Kabir and Ritama are lovely hosts and the whole setting emanates a special energy. I would come back again and again to recharge and enjoy the incredible beauty this kite surfing paradise has to offer.

Great vacation
This specific listing was not available and so Ritama offered another on the same property and it worked out great! Everything on the property is as advertised . We loved getting to use the kayak and cabanas and it was so fun watching Ritama kite board! The walk to the beach is so peaceful, they’ve done a great job on this property. This was our second trip to Provo and it did not disappoint! We hope to get to stay again at this property . The only complaint for this neighborhood is the obstacle course as far as the road condition is concerned (lots of pot holes and horse poop); we like to rent a Vespa each time, so that makes the ride a bit rough on this part of the island .

Excellent stay
We stayed in the Villa Karana Studio 2 and loved it. This is like a resort location. The beautiful plants throughout the property and all paths that lead to the beach. The owners are so friendly and welcoming we often saw them on the beach with all of us who stayed on the property. They even helped encourage us to start kite surfing! The room was very clean and the bed was very comfortable. Anytime we needed some help there was staff on the property to help. You can tell How much thought went into creating this unique sanctuary. We will Be back and most certainly upgrading our stay to another villa with a view! We recommend staying on this property 1,000 times you won’t be disappointed.

Lovely stay in paradise!
We stayed in Villa 4 due to some construction work on our unit. The unit was well equipped and provided a beautiful view of the water! Private and quiet it was the perfect spot for us. 4 stars instead of 5 due to the awful seaweed washing up on the beautiful beach. We traveled to other spots to enjoy the beach and water. This obviously no fault of the owners but wish it was disclosed. The property is well kept lush and natural. We highly recommend!

Location was perfect. Unit was quiet/secluded yet easy access to the beach.
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Mostly vacationed to kiteboard. This location couldn't have been better. Unfortunately, the wind wasn't great. We enjoyed other aspects of the island and this property is so well located, we could get to these locations quickly. Owners were awesome and accommodating. They were updating their wifi and let us use their personal phone to connect during the process. I would definitely return to this location. If you are reviewing this and you are a kiteboarder bringing your own gear...I would bring big kites. I brought 4 kites: 8m, 9m and two 12's. A storm brought good winds for one day which allowed us to use all kites. Otherwise 15m and up was required for all other wind patterns (March). Conveniently located, this property is just down wind from kite Provo. Again owners are great people and would highly recommend this location.

Beach Vacation from Heaven
We have been all over the Caribbean islands. My wife likes beaches that are secluded and walkable, I like a ton of activity and then shade. This isn't an easy combination to find. I absolutely love Villa Esencia. My wife and I had such an amazing time and the combination of activities and serenity was perfect for us, plus the cabanas on the beach are perfect for the fair of skin like me (by the way, it actually looks exactly like the picture, that is the view from the cabana). This is a very active place as well with the shallow water (goes out 2.5 miles) with white sand it is ideal for kite surfing. A pleasant surprise was how this particular property pays attention to minute detail. It is super clean, very functional, practical and friendly. We felt at home and we felt welcomed. I really couldn't recommend this place more for a couple that wants to get away. We didn't bring the kids but it looks like it would work for them too. We are going back as soon as we can.

About the host

Hosted by Ritama Davidson

Host profile image
We are self-development trainers, authors, and avid kiteboarders.

Why they chose this property

We wanted a place in nature that supported a simple and natural lifestyle. We were looking for a quiet, natural environment for our Turks and Caicos villas, close to nature and the sea, away from the buzz of the city, roads, and pollution. This location fits that description perfectly ... no sounds except the wind, the trees, and the sea - and it turned out to be the best location for kiteboarding too. We look forward to welcoming you here.

What makes this property unique

Esencia is a 2.25-acre property of Provo native vegetation directly on the beach in Long Bay, Turks, and Caicos Islands. The lush plants and trees are wild and natural, giving you the feeling of being in the midst of the undisturbed jungle. We have built in a way that flows with the land and nature. Our pathways wind through the bush and follow nature’s creation. Our buildings appear to have been dropped in. The smell of wildflowers tantalizes your senses and the beautiful wild orchids reveal their magic. With only 10 Turks and Caicos vacation suites in 4 elegant villas, it is designed for privacy and tranquillity.
