This place blew away our expectations, pictures don’t do justice. Very secluded but not too far from town, very quiet, a lot of beautiful snorkeling right behind the property, would definitely recommend to anyone.

Dream beach re-set

This was the perfect, out of the way but still so close, getaway location! The house was very well equipped with everything we could possibly want or need. Getting to it in the dark on the wrong side of the road with donkeys everywhere was an adventure but coming inside felt like home. Our routine was pretty chill for 10 days, We had morning coffee on the beach out front watching the waves and occasional donkey. After stocking up at the IGA we packed lunches and took our rental on an exploration of the island. Lots of hidden gems and wonderful people. Supper was either at the house or at Jack’s Shack, Sandbar or Cakeos Cafe. Movie and games while watching the sunset from the deck. Perfection. The whole purpose of our trip was to go whale watching with Deep Blue Charters with “our” humpback whales. It did not disappoint! Katharine & Kell know where to go and when. We also went out with Jimmy of Wet Money Enterprises snorkeling and swimming with the sting rays. The snorkelling from shore at every beach was a lot of fun too. I had to work during our vacation so stable fast internet was a must. Comfy beds, amble towels and a washer/dryer added to the experience of home away from home. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

Amazing house!

We loved our stay here. The house was amazing. We loved being at the top of island where it is quiet; however still never far from everything else. In a golf cart we could be at the cruise port in 20-25 minutes. We ate breakfast in each morning and cooked in a few nights and everything we needed was in the kitchen. It was wonderful having the grill also. We ended every evening with a few games of pool. We began and ended our vacation sitting out on the beach right outside the fence. We only saw one other person and a few mules and donkeys when we sat there. We brought our own but if we hadn’t there was lots of snorkeling equipment on the back patio. We were so pleased to find a beach umbrella there which we used everyday. Look no further and book this house. We loved our time here and on the island. Everyone was so, so friendly. I would also suggest trying The Fisherman’s Wife for dinner one evening and don’t miss visiting the Turks and Caicos Museum.

Private island retreat

Delightful house with lush greenery all around. We went snorkeling everyday in the backyard. The house is on the Northwest side of the island (a good distance from the cruise center) and we often felt like we had the island to ourselves. We enjoyed the pool table, and the satellite tv delivered. The locals were friendly and easygoing. Groceries and good restaurants were about a 10 minute ride by golf cart. Highly recommend renting a vehicle to get around. Our 10 yr old loved snorkeling off the shore with us (water shoes are a must) and we liked how the reef extended a ways so we could stand up in the water 50 or so feet from the beach. Perfect huge conch shells are everywhere, sea urchins, crabs, parrrot fish, stingrays, sea turtles, saw a nurse shark and whales in the distance. This beautiful house was everything we were looking for! We hope to return someday. Thank you for sharing it with us!

Great house - very private - couldn't be better

This was a great place to stay. Kitchen well stocked with utensils and cooking ingredients and the extra fridge in the pool room was handy. Central air was very comfortable and nice as you don't have to listen to or mess around with room air conditioners. Very private property with no traffic. Beach facing side is somewhat overgrown. There is a really nice deck with table and 6 chairs that we spent much time at. However, the vegetation is so overgrown that you cannot see the water when sitting there - bushes are 8 -10 feet tall along fence. A little maintenance on that part of the yard would make for a fantastic view. I would gladly stay here again - other than the view from the deck this place is absolutely perfect! We were all 100% satisfied.

#6 Corktree Beach House was a perfect place to stay if you want peace/quiet almost private beach

This place was the perfect place to stay on the island. Away from the town and cruise ships, but a short 5-10 minute golf cart ride to almost anything on the island. The beach is almost private and most mornings we walked miles without seeing another person. The house was clean and well equipped with towels and kitchen supplies. We cooked most evening meals at the house and ate out for lunch. Kristien responded within 30 minutes with a new tube for one of the bikes that was bad. She also was a great reference for activities on the island. The house had four bikes, four types of paddle boards and four nice lounge chairs. The entire island was easy to get around and the locals were very nice. We would stay here again. Dean

Definitely Paradise

Lucy was amazing to work with, responded quickly, and was very helpful. We originally booked this property for June 2022. My husband had unexpected surgery a week prior to our stay. Lucy allowed us to rebook for November 2022 with absolutely no hassle! The house was perfect and the beach was wonderful. Very well equipped with plenty of towels, dishes, laundry detergent, and island information. I asked her where we could get good coffee on the island and she told us to go to the Ridge Cafe at the Aches. This is by far the best coffee I have ever had! Their food and ice cream are also absolutely delicious! We spent a lot of time sitting up there enjoying the view. They also have a swimming pool that is open to the public. Our rental car wouldn’t start the night before we were leaving. Took me over 2 hours to get a hold of the rental company. Lucy was very helpful and told me that she would get us to the airport if we were without a car. That certainly helped relieve my anxiety. Everyone we met on this island was so incredibly friendly and helpful! It was a wonderful relaxing place to stay!

Haven for a Quiet Escape

This is one of the most well-equipped VRBO's I have ever visited, but my kids especially loved the pool table. I enjoyed sitting on the back porch or on the beach at sunset, and my husband loved the huge TV and comfortable couches / chairs in the living room when we were not enjoying the various beaches on Grand Turk. I just wish the property had better lighting, especially in the living room. I had to get some work done while on vacation and it was a bit dark to see well in the evening.

Paradise!

Lucy and Nate’s home is amazing. Everything you could need or want. We walked three miles on the beach every day, and only saw people at the beach club a mile and a half away. Beat my son at pool and lifted weights using the dumbbells. The huge TV in the family room was great. The master bed room was like our sanctuary. We appreciated the flowering bushes in the yard, and the fact that it was fenced in. That kept the donkeys and dogs that are sometimes on the beach from being too friendly! The kitchen and appliances are top notch. We cooked most of our own meals at the house. Kristin, the property manager was great, too.

9 days on the beach

My husband and I along with our best man and his wife came to celebrate our 25th Anniversary. The house was very nice, very spacious. The kitchen had everything we needed for cooking and grilling. We took a bike ride, used the stand up paddle boards, played lots of pool and was on the beach every day. The best beach combing right out from the house! Lucy was wonderful to communicate with and Becky, the house keeper/manager was very helpful. We rented a golf cart from Omar and that went very smoothly. We used OmniCare med to get our covid tests ($60 each) and they emailed results within 4 hours. There is an attestation form to get back into the USA, that form was at the airline counters in Providenciales. We were very pleased with our stay!

Solitude and stunning diving

First off, let me rave about the host. Lucy was a proactive communicator, very quick to respond, gave us great suggestions, and generally a pleasure to work with. One of my favorite hosts so far. The home is modern, clean, and stacked with a number of features that guests will enjoy. We liked the game room, fully-stocked kitchen, and satellite TV. The best part though, is the beach and water at your fingertips. Grand Turk's famous diving wall is right in front of the home. We paddle boarded out to the buoys and snorkeled around when we weren't diving. The fenced yard was also a plus! It ensured privacy but also helps when bringing your pup along. The location of the home is probably the only potential downside. It's located in the far northwest of the island away from any market, business, or restaurant. You will NEED a golf cart of car to get around. A few people suggested Omar Morris for golf carts. We found his service to be average. In the five weeks we rented from him, our cart broke down twice and we had to swap out for a different one each time. With the pandemic in full swing, only a few restaurants/bars are open on the island. We knew going into it what we were getting into and didn't mind it too much. We had one run in with an unfriendly neighbor but other than that, people on the island were friendly. A few food suggestions: -The food truck across from the Do It Center is a MUST. It was our most frequent meal. -Kitty's Pizza Place down the road from the truck in a pink building has delicious and ice cream cones (Ice cream on the island is very expensive)! -The Ridge at the Arches was definitely our favorite. We would run up for breakfast and cool down in their pool while we waited for our food. The family and chef that runs it are fantastic. Home is all made at the restaurant and very fresh. -The Osprey Hotel has a decently-priced lunch and GREAT view. -Sand Bar is typical sandwiches and drinks but worth a try. -Guanahani at Bohio is NOT worth it. Expensive and the food was terrible. Overall the house is a big win. The location is slightly inconvenient. The island is fantastic if you know what you're getting into--you really can't beat the diving. We're glad we made the jump and enjoyed the solace and 1:1 as a couple. Thanks, Lucy and Nate!!

Spring Break 2020

Family travel with teenager for spring break 2020. The house was clean and welcoming! It’s a little way out of town, so we felt a car was necessary and rented from Omar. Lucy is wonderful to work with, she answered all of our questions and very timely. I give everything 5 stars, except the beach in front of the house, it’s beautiful, but you really can’t get into the water due to the rocks and sea grass. Using the SUP seemed out of the question with the rocks and coral so we spent our beach days at Governors Beach by the airport (a short drive). The only other negative is the one working bike, we thought there was two, but by the time we made it down the road we had a flat tire again and had to turn back. No promises are made about the bikes working in the welcome booklet, but it would have been fun to explore on them. Again, not deal breakers and by far the positives outweighed any negatives, but just things to keep in mind. The kitchen had all we needed to cook meals; it was nice to have everything we needed and more. We packed some food from the US, as there is only a basic selection of items at the two grocery stores we visited. Produce selection was slim to none and if available very pricey. The beds were extremely comfy and liens nice. With lots of the island shut down due to COVID-19, we would like to come back and experience all the island has to offer another time.

Lovely

Beautiful house and location. Lucy responded to all our questions pretty much immediately. Private beach. Saw wild horses and donkeys right on the beach. We were there in the middle of the coronavirus scare. Was happy to see they banned all cruise ships from entering. Very safe island and locals are friendly. Be sure to check out Governors Beach. The day we were there we had it all to ourselves. Nice sandy beach and crystal clear water. Pool table was a definite bonus. Used it every single day. Would definitely recommend this place.

Helped to make our days in Grand Turk great

The house on Cork Tree Beach was perfect. More amenities than any other beachfront rental house we've ever stayed in. Best equipped kitchen even though we barely cooked. We wondered for a second whether the golf cart was the right vehicle for us as we puttered to our destinations around the island, but with the near perfect weather and our quickly getting into island time, the golf cart was the right choice. The Ridge Cafe was especially great. Friendly people everywhere around the island.

Temperture of home and shower water

Overall we loved the property! We had a wonderful time. The only two negative things was the temperature of the house at night and the temperature of the water for the main bathroom shower. The temperature of the house at night was uncomfortable to sleep. We had to run the ceiling fan and the floor ac fan to keep cool. Without these the room was uncomfortable to sleep. It was confusing to work the remote for the ceiling fan as well but managed to figure it out. We kept the air as is according to the owners request but would be nice to make a little cooler at night maybe. The shower in the master bathroom and the bathroom itself was designed very beautifully! However, the temperature of the shower hot/warm water would only last no more than five minutes and it started to turn cool. Men can usually shower in that amount of time but women are generally 10 minutes or more. I had to turn the water completely off to maintain the hot water and turn it back on to rinse off. Other than these two things we very much enjoyed the home! Especially the pool table! Thank you very much for allowing us to stay in the home!

Nathan and I lived in and loved our house for 4 years before deciding to move back home to Canada. We lived in Grand Turk for ten years, and had an amazing time - it is a truly unique island paradise. Grand Turk has given us so many memories, including our wedding day on Gibbs's Cay!
We hope that you enjoy our home as much as we have and choose to come back again and again.
