We had planned our trip to Grand Turk for over a year. After exploring various properties, we both agreed that Crabtree Apartments sounded like the perfect fit for us. We were correct! Leaving from Charlotte we arrived in Provo and then took a short flight over to Grand Turk. Pulling into the property our first view was of the turquoise waters and white sand. This view in itself is worth the trip! We stayed in the south unit, number 1. It was clean, bright and cute. The decor gave it a homey and personal feel. The kitchen was stocked with small appliances (toaster, coffee pot, blender, etc.). Pots, pans, dishes, glassware and silverware were abundant. Our host was thoughtful to have waiting on us water, eggs, bread, juice and butter. If your flight was late and the grocery store was closed, that gave you breakfast for the next morning. She also supplied coffee, tea, sugar, and creamer. The refrigerator was full size and stayed quite cold. Needless to say, the set up was perfect for our stay. This unit has 2 bedrooms and 1 bath. Beds were very comfy and extra pillows provided. The bathroom was clean and all we needed. There is WiFi (which was upgraded while we were there) and TV if you chose to watch it. We turned it on just a few times to catch the news.
My favorite place of the whole unit was the patio on the back. We ate all our meals out there. Along with a spacious table and chairs, there was a beautiful conversational area complete with a coffee table. We spent every morning and evening out there watching the incredible sunsets and gorgeous water. We saw dolphins and even some whales making their way through the waves.
There are air conditioners in both bedrooms. We used the A/C a few nights while we were there. It does provide noise which is helpful early in the morning. The native donkeys, roosters and Potcakes start their day early so you will hear them before the sun rises. That never bothered us since we usually had the air on, and we did bring a small sound machine. We are very early risers and actually enjoyed their morning greetings. There is not A/C in the living area, but truly isn't needed. We opened up the front windows and the back doors which provided a wonderful breeze.
We rented a golf cart from Roscoe's Rentals. The cart seemed new and took us all over the island. We explored various places but we both agreed the beach right off our patio was the best beach of all! We are planning our next visit and can't wait to return!
