Great house for families and kids - you don’t need leave!
We enjoyed the hosue, the pool, views and dock with kayaks. It’s great for kids and especially the teens who can easily kayak over to sopadilla beach and rent jet skis. There are vendors on that beach and you can walk there or kayak there from the house but they have jet skis, drinks and chairs. The water is super calm and only 5 feet deep so letting the kids run around with peace of mind is key. There are two masters on main with view that was great with having two families and the kids took the upstairs rooms. Adele our concierge was great, easy to reach and help us color draw our half day snorkel trip with Mac and cheese adventures that was a highlight. We have a chef come 3x and what seems like a splurge was a no brainer bc chef Nonny was amazing and we went from swimsuits to pajamas each night… what a vacation should be. The bay on the south west side is very calm so you will see a lot of catamarans and yachts anchoring for the night. I wish I brought my binoculars! But much calmer waters than Grace bay on the north side where the resorts are…. Definitely rent a car/van. The taxis are insane expensive. And there is only one restaurant near the hosue called Las Brisas which we did one night, and ordered take one night. Their paella was delish! Groceries are also pricey (bag of cofffee was $20!) and be sure to bring cash. We had to go to the ATM a few items and it was difficult to find one that was working. Only negative is the house dryer did NOT dry.

The perfect Turks and Caicos vacation
I'm picky when choosing a vacation getaway for us and family. Villa Valentina ended up being the perfect choice for 8 of us with kids and grand girls 11, 13 and 15, all water enthusiasts. The house was large and had a great kitchen. The pool was not on the side of the house but directly between you and the water which is important to me. We had it heated since we're from hot Texas and girls could swim comfortably at night. The dock was fantastic with the kayaks and we rented paddle boards for the week. We booked a day's excursion with Silly Creek Sports and they came directly to the dock to pick us up. The water is only about thigh deep when entering and makes it easy for all to enjoy the water. We rented jet skis and they were brought right to us at the dock. Everyone we met in T&C was delightful. We liked Villa Valentina because it was away from the hustle and bustle of other parts of Providenciales. Loved our stay!

Stnning views, pool, hot tub, walk to ocean and magnificent sunsets
Great property on quiet side of the island, away from the resorts. A 25 minute drive to restaurants and shopping. We went snorkeling, parasailing and kayaking....great fun! Hired a chef for dinner which was fabulous.

Very Pleasant Stay
We had a great time at Villa Valentina. The house was very well-stocked and had plenty of room. The outdoor area is fantastic. We had everything we needed for a very relaxing week. The house is about a 20 minute drive to Grace Bay, where most of the restaurants are, but we didn't really mind. You definitely need a rental car. Two beaches are within easy walking distance. We would definitely stay here again.

Amazing villa with outstanding views. Great pool with two awesome downstairs bedrooms. Upstair bedrooms are rather small. Some minor maintenance issues, but overall, a great villa on an awesome island!

Beautiful House, Beautiful Location
We loved our recent stay at Villa Valentina! The house accommodated our group of 8 perfectly, 6 adults and 2 children. The pool was a hit for the kids and the ocean and sunset views from the dock were incredible. We enjoyed grilling and eating in the outdoor areas and found everything we needed in the kitchen. We rented a vehicle so we could drive to restaurants and get to our boat charter and snorkeling outings. We would definitely rent this again for a group vacation. The communication with the owner/property manager was prompt and helpful.

Great place in T&C during COVID
Villa Valentina was a great house for the family (5 kids 16-23) and my wife and I. The pool, dock and Caribbean ocean were fantastic. The property is large and outdoor kitchen was fantastic. We had a chef come in most nights but also explored the island. However, our favorite times were at the house. Jake was very helpful arranging things for us and making restaurant recommendation. The only issue with T&C is getting in and out due to COVID testing. Otherwise a great trip in a fantastic house.

The position of this property is superb. The setting sublime. To just be a few feet from the ocean, be able to watch the sunset every night it was perfect.

Beautiful Home & View
This was a fantastic house. We had two families - 4 adults and 4 kids, teenagers - and the layout was fantastic. We had two master bedrooms the first floor and two rooms for the kids upstairs. I will say that the balcony view from the kids rooms was spectacular. There was so much room to spread out with the family room, porch and of course the gorgeous pool area. The pictures are very accurate. While not on Grace Bay, we didn't mind the quick drive. We would usually go do something in the morning, have lunch somewhere and then come back for the afternoon. There were several good dinner places within a quick 10 minute drive including Mango Reef, Magnolia's, Las Brisas (which we walked to), and Bugaloo's was right on the beach with the best fresh conch by far. We've gone several times in March now for our kids spring break and while this location is not on Grace Bay it is a gorgeous and usually on the opposite side of the wind so you can actually get outside and enjoy without getting sand blasted. The dock area was terrific for getting in the water and taking a kayak ride. The management company was very responsive and helpful in getting us reservations for a private snorkeling trip. The house was stocked with everything you could possibly need with an abundance of kitchenwares and beach towels, and plenty of areas of sun and shade around the pool. We were super pleased with the house and would definitely rent it again.

Great location, better side of the island which is quieter and less windy, we had a terrific time here at this beautiful place. The pool and the deck below at the water, the privacy of the rooms, the perfect kitchen to work in, it was all wonderful. We had the best week here!

Villa Valentina is gourgeous
Our family of six enjoyed our week at Villa Valentina. It’s a gorgeous property with a lovely pool and dock. The pictures don’t lie. It’s achingly beautiful. There is a constant breeze that offers plenty of relief from the midsummer sun. If the winds don’t help, the property offers a dozens lounges nestled under umbrellas or the maginificent palms. The screened in porch was a great place for a family meal. We also found the kitchen to be well stocked with dishes, cutlery, crockery and appliances. The Weber grill in the back is a perfect place to grill some grouper while sipping the local beer. It’s a fair distance to Grace Bay, major shoppping and the best restaurants. So rent a car. As others have said, the allowance for air conditioning is a bit of an annnoyance at property with this price point. We arrived on a scorching day, and were a bit befuddled that the AC was not already turned on. The property manager was helpful and quick to assist. A welcome of cheese, crackers and water was nice. I suggest throwing in a bottle of wine too for future guests. All in all, our family would recommend Villa Valentina for that special getaway.

Great House with a Beautiful View
Villa Valentina was just as pictured online. The house is wonderful with fantastic views. It is very spacious and well stocked with kitchen essentials. We loved the pool, the screened-in porch and access to ocean. My only complaint is the pool guys showing up on our last morning to clean the pool. While the property managers explained that is the regular cleaning day, it could have been done after we checked out and before the next guests arrived. One other comment is on the location of the house on the island. It is a 20 minute drive to Grace Bay area, which is where many of the better restaurants, prettier beach, and shops are located. The grocery store is about a 12 minute drive. While the location provided for a very quiet and serene experience and the house is fantastic, the drive to the other side of the island did become inconvenient at times.

Beautiful villa!
We loved our week-long stay at Villa Valentina. The home and outside areas were as beautiful as pictured and incredibly well-preserved after the recent hurricanes (although other homes in the area did not seem to be as lucky). We loved the pool area, outdoor grill, and easily accessed ocean-front dock, and the home was very well-equipped with pool toys, snorkel equipment, kayaks, and even a baby gate! Booking through Elite Destinations was very smooth overall. Would love to stay again!
