The Oleander Villa was the ideal place for my husband and I. Beautiful, well maintained, comfortable, very clean and quiet and away from the big resorts and mass of tourists. Equipped with a safe, toaster, coffeemaker, microwave, cable tv and air conditioner. The pool is just outside the front door, the private beach is a short walk thru a gate across the street where you can find chairs and umbrellas for the exclusive use of guests. There is a very small reef to the right of the beach and Smith's Reef is a bit of a walk to the left of the beach. We went to TCI specific for the snorkel and those were decent spots, besides the Bight, to do it if the water is not choppy. There are a few restaurants close by - SharkBite and Mango Reef are the best (steer clear of Baci). The housekeeper, Luz, is the best and a delight. She came to our villa every day for fresh towels (they also supply with beach towels), gave us the number of a friendly and super reliable taxi driver and both helped us with anything we needed. Be prepared to either use a transportation service or have your own car to get around (they drive on the left side of the road) and bring plenty of cash and money to spend. Prices of services and goods on Turks and Caicos are elevated but we absolutely loved the place.
