Private Haven in Remote North Caicos
The property is exactly as described in the photos and description. While the living room could benefit from more plush seating, overall everything was clean and comfortable and exactly as expected. The rooms are all roomy, and the private pool, while not huge, was perfect for a clean freshwater dip while lounging on the huge outdoor patio. The views of the ocean from the home are a delight and while there is no "epic" clean beach directly in front of the unit, and short hike takes you to horsestable beach which is gorgeous clean sandy beach without seaweed. Wonderful place, and the host was absolutely terrific. Just be aware that North Caicos is fairly remote with not much going on and limited excursions. If you are up for that, then you will enjoy yourself at this beautiful private villa, as we did.

Nice house. Secluded beach.
This is a very nice beach home on the north coast of North Caicos. We saw very few other people on the beach. It is great if you like peace and quiet. Property manager is very nice and responsive. Any time we needed anything, she quickly took care of it. The only negative of the two weeks was our experience with Turquoise Car Rental (the company from which they rent the vehicle that comes with the house). They need to cut ties with them. But, the house itself was great.

Amazing Experience
We spent a wonderful week in Villa Elemni. The property was perfect for our family of five. The views are amazing starting from when you pull up to the house. The inside living area is large, airy, comfortable and open to all of the wonderful views. The pool is a great size for playing, floating and splashing around. The beach right in front of the property is beautiful. There are larger rocks and sand meaning you need to pick your way carefully but very manageable. The water here is very refreshing and easy for swimming. Otherwise just a short walk down the beach (5-7 Minutes) you will find a flat, sandy beach with clear turquoise water. We spent our days split between the pool and the beach. We almost had the whole place to ourselves seeing very few people most days. Regine is a perfect host. One of her staff met us at the ferry and led us to the house. We were then given a tour and explanation of everything we needed to know about the house. Regine was very responsive and quick to help with anything we needed. We would happily stay at one of her properties again in the future. Thank you again! We definitely agree with Regine's recommendation to make sure you get grocery necessities on Provo prior to coming over to North Caicos. There are small groceries available, but the selection is limited, especially for anything fresh. We can't recommend this house or host enough!

Incredible!
Villa Elemni was absolutely amazing for our first trip to TCI. Regine was extremely responsive, and so helpful providing everything that we needed. The grounds are unbelievably well-maintained, and the beach is so close. You have a view from every room. Staying on North was more our taste, away from the resorts. We had all of the beaches to ourselves ! Three Mary Cays and Mudjin are must-sees, and the food at Mudjin bar and grill which overlooks Dragon Cay is great. Dee’s has a BarBQ social on North on Friday nights, and there is even an ice cream shoppe. There are plenty of island grocery stores on North to find what you need. We are already planning our return trip next year! What a wonderful slice of heaven.

Views are great and home is spacious and private. Liked having a prepaid phone we could use to make some local calls to book dinner etc. Home was well supplied. Regine was very helpful towards understanding the lay of the land and answering questions along the way.

Absolutely Perfect
My wife and kids (16 and 13) took a last minute 4-day vacation to North Caicos and it was amazing. The house was big, spotless, and perfectly equipped. The setting was private and gorgeous. Pool refreshing clean. Regine was amazingly helpful, especially when we missed the last ferry over (do NOT miss the last ferry) and she helped us arrange a private charter ($500 for the 20 minute ride). Without this above and beyond help, our trip would have been ruined. It was grrat and very convenient to have a rental car included. Recommend upgrading to a SUV, roads are a bit rough in North. The island is beautiful and largely untouched by tourism. Exactly what we were looking for. Thanks Regine!

Just what we were looking for
The property is exactly as the pictures portray. My friend and I were looking for a location away from crowds where we could spend some quiet time relaxing and celebrating our partners birthdays and this home provided us just what we wanted. We were fortunate to have a mild breeze almost every day and so the mosquitoes didn't really bother us except for one day where it was quite still. Bring bug spray! We also went at a time of year when there was quite a bit of seaweed but a short walk along the shore towards Pelican Beach resort and the beach there is seaweed free. And the hospitality from Regine was among the best we've had at any rental. She is very responsive to all our questions before we arrived and even while we were there when we wanted tips. The handy booklet on the property gave great info. All in all this is a gem of a place to stay.

Last minute vacation
We spent 5 nights at this great property. It was a last minute trip to North Caicos and we enjoyed the property and both North and Middle Caicos. The house is very comfortable and well decorated - true to the pictures. Kids enjoyed (10/12) swimming in the pool. Regine was wonderful, she provided us assistance with the last minute reservations. She helped with logistics in getting to the island, and getting off the island (Covid test, Boat transfer, Taxi, etc). It was all quite easy with her help. Beach behind the home was a bit rocky when we were there but not a big deal since a quick 5 minute walk down the beach was all sand. Barracuda Beach Bar was just a short half mile away and we enjoyed the food and rum drinks...so much that we went back 3 times. Don't miss a trip to Middle Caicos to explore. Great home on a great island.

Vacation of a lifetime! Book it!
First time to North Caicos and we hope we’ll have the good fortune to return. Property is incredible…clean, comfortable, spacious, private. Beach is right at back door. We snorkeled on seabeds & rocks nearby and enjoyed all the beaches within walking distance (Horsestable, Whitby, Hollywood). Our kids spent loads of time out on their own beach-combing sponges, coral & full conch shells. Plenty of desolate & quiet beaches to enjoy on North but the short drive to Middle Caicos is also worth it. Be sure to go there! There are some logistics to figure out like grocery shopping in Provo and the ferry schedule but it really isn’t a hassle. WORTH IT!! North and Middle Caicos are undersold paradises. It is also important to mention the gracious & responsive property host. She was so helpful & reliable.

Amazing getaway on North Caicos
Our family of four including a 13-year-old and 11 year old made a fairly late decision to to travel this year. We feel so lucky that Vela Elemni was available. The pictures are exactly what you get. The openness of the windows and vaulted ceiling‘s made it feel big and luxurious. We landed in Providencialis and stayed overnight at a resort. The next day, Regine gave us the name of a taxi company that picked us up from our hotel, took us to the supermarket and then to the ferry. Regine met us at the ferry along with a rental car and helped get us and all our stuff to the Villa. The mosquitoes were a bit of a problem the first two days but then disappeared. Make sure you bring some bug spray! Don’t expect to swim directly from the villa, if you head to the left, you get a beautiful stretch of beach as well as the barracuda bar. It’s a fun walk along the rocks (about 5 minutes) and then along a beautiful stretch of sand. The next day we headed out to explore. Down at Bombarra Beach we met AC who runs A tiki hut or he made some amazing french fries and plantain chips for us. He says he will also come to your villa to cook. Wish we had known before we bought out the supermarket. If you’re prepared for a half a mile walk/swim out to pelican rock, you can snorkel around the beautiful rock and walk/swim back. Or, you can relax on this beautiful beach. We had lunch at MUdgin harbor. The food, view and service were so amazing that we went back there again two days later. Best piece of fish I’ve had in a long time! When we did, we explored the beach in the caves. Make sure you’re wearing sneakers if you have any issues with your knees or ankles. 3 Mary Cays was beautiful. It was raining the day we went, the roads and puddles were a little scary. We wish we had another nice day there to explore. If you want to snorkel or go for a boat ride, Dee was amazing. He met us, and despite some big waves, found us a beautiful snorkel spot, and took us to walk on some surrounding islands. North Caicos is not a resort. If you’re looking for something different, a relaxing , absolutely beautiful way to spend time with your family, a way to really escape, this won’t disappoint. We are already planning when we can go back! Thanks Regine. Thanks North Caicos

Peaceful Paradise
This was our third trip to the North, and 7th trip to Turks. We love it, always. The property is awesome. Gorgeous ocean right out your back door, gorgeous night sky with ALL the stars. We cooked a ton, only venturing out to My Dees for their great Friday night BBQ and the occasional drink at Barracuda on the way back from a beach walk. Did a big shop on Provo before heading over, then filled in the gaps at the local stores. The kitchen/grill had everything we needed. The pool was amazing, especially since we were there during August and during the remnants of a storm, when they get TONS of seaweed. Like...tons. But with the pool, no worries! Seaweed cleared out after a few days and ocean swimming was awesome too (even spotted turtles and rays!). Regine is a gem! So friendly, welcoming, and helpful. When we had any needs or questions regarding the property, she was very quick to respond. Striking up conversation with the amazingly kind groundskeeping staff also, we even tracked down some fresh lobster to grill one night. Hot tip: be friendly! The folks on the North are some of the kindest, most generous people around, with great advice and stories to tell. If you want to truly escape the madness, this is your spot.

Amazing, Private vacation
This vacation was amazing. It was very remote. We had stayed on Provo a few times, and tried out North Caicos. It was a different experience because it is a lot “slower” on North Caicos. A lot less restaurants. We basically had our own private beach (only saw people walking by a few times). Regine was very responsive and helpful. She gave us a very helpful email upon booking and was very responsive while we were there to answer any questions.

Great property and manager!
We stayed for 4 nights in February & wished we could have stayed another week. Regine was awesome to work with and really takes care of everything for you during check in. The water is incredible just off the pool and the beaches are really secluded. There are a few large rocks on some parts of the beaches, but you can definitely find all sand areas to swim. North is not commercialized at all so make sure you do some planning in advance if you want to go out to eat. There is a small grocery store about a mile from the home. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a nice quiet getaway. Thanks Todd

Villa Elemni is the perfect getaway.
Villa Elemni is a beautiful property that is quiet and remote with its own pool and beach. In fact, a short walk away and it opens up to vast beach with sand and turquoise water. The local restaurants are very welcoming and offer a great alternative to the more touristy locations on Provo. The kitchen is well equipped for cooking, and while local convenience stores provide some amenities it is best to do some grocery shopping in Provo before boarding the ferry. Regine was incredibly helpful during the booking and planning process and never more than a phone call away. Her suggestions led us to some great North Caicos residents for snorkeling, fishing and jet ski rentals. Beware the no-see-ums! We would return!

Beautiful and relaxing
This house is a gem- worked great for our family of 5 with plenty of space for everyone. Fully equipped to do everything we needed and very comfortable! We loved being right on the beach and the pool was great for the kids. Regine was amazing getting us set up with a rental car, local cell phone to use, drinking water- as well as helping arrange our taxi service to and from the ferry. North Caicos is beautiful, and we felt like we had the entire island to ourselves for most of the week. That being said, if you are looking for nightlife and lots of activities you won't find them here- but if you are looking for tranquility and peace and a real break this is the place for you. My 3 kids 14, 12 and 9 managed to fill the days collecting conch shells, flying kites, and playing on the beach. Its a trip they won't forget anytime soon! Thank you again Regine!

Paradise!
Our stay at Villa Elemni on North Caicos was the most peaceful and relaxing trip we have ever had. Regine was very helpful when we were planning our stay and when we got to the island. She helped to arrange our taxi, ferry and rental car and she also gave us a lot of information about both North and Middle Caicos. The house has a great open layout and has all of the amenities you need for your stay. The view from the back patio is amazing. The beach right behind the house is rocky but it is just a short walk to sandy beaches. We explorered North and Midlde Caicos and completely fell in love with the quiet tranquility of both islands. We cannot wait to bring our family back and introduce them to the beaches of North Caicos.

Our stay in Villa Elemni was perfect. The house was very clean and spacious. The pool was awesome as was the private beach access. Regine was communicative. The locals were awesome. And a car came with the reservation which is necessary and extremely convenient not having to go through an agency to reserve one. If you're looking for a quiet getaway, North Caicos is the best part of Turks and Caicos to visit. Middle Caicos is only a 30 minute drive away. Restaurants close early (around 8 pm) so you have to call in advance and reserve. There are about 7 really good restaurants in the area to choose from and Regine has them all in a binder for you upon arrival. There's a grocery store 2 minutes away. We definitely plan on coming back soon!

This house is absolutely Gorgeous- beautifully appointed and comfortable with two master sweets. Perfect for two families or two couples. The setting and privacy are perfect. Regine was an excellent hostess and gave us great tips on restaurants, home chefs, boat tours and other amenities. Definitely shop In Provo if you stay here.

Perfect stay!!
I can't say enough how wonderful our experience was at Villa Elemni!! The house itself is beautiful. Decorated to perfection. The pool was the perfect break from the hot sun every day. Regine was the ultimate host. She helped arrange transportation to and from the airport. She also coordinated our rental car for us while on the island. Such a wonderful amenity to have the car and cell phone included. Little conveniences that made the trip extra special! Regine even drove us from the ferry to the house and gave us a run down of where everything is on the island and provided suggestions for food and drink. I can't say enough about our entire experience here. We will definitely be back! You can't go wrong with Villa Elemni!!

The perfect getaway!
Our family of six found exactly what we needed at Villa Elemni. Regine was incredibly helpful from the first email to the last wave at the ferry landing. The house is beautiful -- spotless and well-maintained. Both bedrooms are generously sized and gave everyone enough space. The kitchen is well equipped -- but be sure to stop at the IGA in Provo if you want to prepare your own food! (The ferry folks were very accommodating about loading and unloading our many boxes of groceries.) The pool is the perfect size for a quick dip before or after the beach. I can't say enough about how wonderful North Caicos is. We are an active family, and managed to stay busy each day, but at our own pace, with no distractions like loud music or tourists. Locals are all pleasant and helpful. Each day we discovered a new, deserted beach -- aside from the incredible shells and coral washed up on the beach, or found while snorkeling. We rented a car for a few days, and highly recommend a day trip to Middle Caicos with a stop at Mudjin Beach. Also enjoyed some great meals at Silver Palm Restaurant and Last Chance. If you are looking for a quiet getaway in a perfect location, Villa Elemni is a wonderful choice.
