This was out first time to T&C, and we were not familiar with the island. After exploring the entire island, we concluded that this house was ideally located! It was private but did not fee isolated. Quick drive to other beaches/locations for snorkeling, walking, swimming, tubing, etc. Close to two grocery stores and all of the island's best restaurants.
The house could not have been better suited for our family of 7. It was exactly as described and even better then we hoped for. The layout was perfect for us (2 adults and 5 kids). The pool had a perfect temperature (80 degrees) and was constantly clean and inviting. The beachfront was perfect for swimming and watching kite surfing around clock. The wind did prevent us from using the SUP and kayaks, but not a big deal as there was so much to do on the island. Having 3 outdoors showers was fun and added to the tropical experience. We absolutely felt like we got everything we paid for in this house. Favorite spot was the patio next to the infinity pool for morning coffee, afternoon drinks/apps, and getting some shade when needed. There were renters in the neighboring villa (also part of the property) which was an initial concern but the landscaping and layout ensured total privacy.
Finally, the TKCA team was absolutely amazing...incredibly responsive and on top of their communication (which we find super important). Before we arrived their communication was timely and informative. They took care of a few requests we had upon arrival, including helping us with a rental car and some gear that we didn't want to shop around for. They helped with many of the excursions we planned, including horseback riding (just down the street), jet ski rentals (delivered to our beach), tubing, etc. In addition the mid-week housekeeping was perfectly timed and they did an amazing and quick job. They also helped us investigate why we lost water for 2 hours (nearby pipe leak - out of their control) and made sure that we were kept informed of progress until it was back. We felt like we were their only customer/client and we appreciated being taken care of while we were on vacation.
The whole family fell in love with both the island and the house and this will be the first of many trips to T&C. I am extremely picky and there is not one thing I could find fault with either this house, the location, or the management company. They did an amazing job at making the overall experience first class.
