You can safely stroll up and down the Grace Bay beach for miles and miles, it is rated as one of the best beaches in the world.
The White House is 12 minutes from the international airport by car and is not in the flight path of the planes. Seeing or hearing a plane here at Coral Gardens is, at most, rare.
Oh, and yes, I’m the owner of the White House. I bought it mostly for my immediate family to use. We thoroughly enjoy everything about Coral Gardens and are happy to share the White House with you. All the Coral Gardens guest amenities are available to you - no extra charge.
Enjoy!

Best Property on Grace Bay Beach!
We stayed at the White House villa, which has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms and it was amazing! The pictures online do not do it justice—updated, modern and literally steps from the beach and pool. The construction next door for the Andaz property was not a noise issue nor an eye sore from the villa and didn’t bother us at all. We liked the privacy and being steps to the beach and snorkeling. And having Somewhere restaurant right next door was an added bonuses. While it is not walking distance to the heart of Grace Bay, it’s a quick car ride and we loved the location. It is in a narrow strip on the beach and we did notice a difference when we visited other hotels in Grace Bay but we would not trade our location, space and convenience. The White House villa is the biggest unit on the property and comes with every other day housekeeping, which was great. It also has a full kitchen and a washer and dryer. We enjoyed having a full kitchen, including pots, pans, toaster, microwave, etc. Don was very responsive and provided great guidance. We can’t wait to visit again!

The Perfect Vacation!
5/5 Stayed May 2022

Looking for the perfect villa, perfect location and the perfect host? Look no further. You found it right here at The White House Villa! The property is beautiful and the view is incredible! It was just what we needed for our family of five- my husband and myself plus our two adult sons and daughter-in-law. We were steps from the beach and a short swim to Bight Reef, where the snorkeling was awesome! Don is quick to reply if you have questions before or during your trip. The entire staff at Coral Gardens was friendly and helpful. We would definitely stay here again!

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Q. Should I RENT A CAR?
A. A rental car is not a must, but it's nice to have if you don’t mind driving on the left side of the road. With a car you'll be able to easily pop over to the grocery store and also explore the island. Expect to pay around $18 per person for the 12 minute taxi ride from the airport to Coral Gardens ... and pay again to return at the end of your stay. I like Grace Bay Car Rentals. They are a two minute walk from the airport terminal and their rates are competitive.
Q. Where can we get SNORKELING equipment?
A. The grocery store a mile away has nice quality inexpensive snorkels. We share three among our family of five. Each of us usually like to snorkel a few times a day for up to an hour each time. The reef is beautiful. We find that flippers are unnecessary because, when snorkeling, your head is mostly under water and you tend to float. Also, the reef is right there and there is negligible current - you hardly have to swim.
Q. How far is the REEF from the White House?
A. The Bight coral reef is right in front of Coral Gardens and the White House is the closest unit to the beach and reef. In a leisurely two minutes from the porch of the White House you can be snorkeling within arms length of beautiful coral and a variety of colorful tropical fish. In five minutes further out you’ll see turtles and rays, and sometimes be surrounded by schools of pretty fishes. I believe it is the only coral reef on Grace Bay that is readily accessible from the beach. My family and I each typically spend an hour twice a day snorkeling. There is always something new to see.
Q. Can I rent a KAYAK?
A. You can rent kayaks and paddle boards and small sailboats on the beach there. The staff at Coral Gardens can help you with things like that. Most people are happy simply snorkeling.
Q. Is the nearby “SOMEWHERE” restaurant noisy for White House guests?
A. It's not too noisy because much of their sound is directed toward the ocean. Somewhere faces the water, away from the White House. The kitchen closes at 10 pm. (Updated March 17, 2023)
Q. Is the POOL for exclusive use by White House guests?
A. There are two pools (see the photos). They are for Coral Gardens guests. The pools aren’t a source of noise. They are too shallow for diving and are not very big. They are not used much. People mostly prefer the beach and snorkeling.
Q. Passport/entry requirements?
A. "Upon arrival in the Turks and Caicos Islands, you must show a valid passport. You must also have a valid onward or return ticket. Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your intended departure". (visittci.com, entry requirements)
Q. What other RESTAURANTS are nearby?
A. A little further down on this page there is a link to the menus of 43 nearby restaurants and a link to reviews of many of those restaurants.
Enjoy!
Have a great day.

Here's a copy of our first VRBO review (for more see the reviews):
Gorgeous views, perfect location
Words will not be sufficient to exalt this vacation property. This is my 3rd time to Provo, and with increasing familiarity of the island, the location alone is reason to book this property. Wake up, grab your coffee and sit on the patio and gaze upon the cerulean beauty of the Caribbean. The views are unobstructed and at the heart of Grace Bay. This is the best of all worlds with a private home in a managed resort like property (beach towels, housekeeping, concierge like services to book activities). The property managers are kind, helpful, attentive. You are steps from the beachside restaurant/bar "Somewhere", which has killer Pina Coladas and delicious food. There are beachside attendants to guide you to chairs with umbrellas. There is world class snorkeling directly in front of the property, my daughter saw 6 to 7 sea turtles, and apparently there are eagle rays hanging out lately in the mornings. The property is convenient to much on the island, a short drive to town, to grocery stores, etc. The property itself is very nice, comfortable, and amenable to a medium size family or 2 to 3 couples. It was so nice to have a full kitchen to make coffee/breakfast every day. And to top it all off, the property owner, Don, is very nice and helpful. Do not hesitate to book this. I hope to be back as soon as I can!
