About this property

Come stay on a tropical beach in a charming cottage, only a short walk from Cockburn Town on the lovely peaceful island of Grand Turk. Breathtaking views, a wonderful beach, superb swimming, diving and snorkeling are right outside your front door. The combination of fun, informal restaurants, expert dive shops, friendly locals, and a relaxed pace of living makes a vacation in Grand Turk uniquely appealing. A trip to Grand Turk transports you back to the 'Old Caribbean,' before big hotels, high rises and crowds of tourists.

Located right on the beach, enjoy dazzling water views all day, and relax with a drink or dinner while watching beautiful sunsets. The beach has small tidal pools, shade and (usually) gentle waves. No need to worry about 'reserving a beach chair' on Grand Turk. Instead, miles of virtually empty beaches on the western shore offer a tranquility that is hard to find in the modern world.

This house is part of Island Passage, which has this cottage, a three bedroom, two bath house (listing number 3628761), and a one bedroom unit that is not available for rental.

The open plan cottage has a fully functional kitchenette, a large screened porch with a lounging and dining area, ceiling fans and air conditioning. The fenced in yard protects the landscaping from wandering horses and cows. it is literally a few steps away through your gate to the shade of the Casuarina trees on the beach. You can beachcomb and snorkel in front of the cottage, get picked up by a dive boat for a fantastic experience on Grand Turk's Wall, stroll into town (150 yards away) to wander down Duke Street, or rent a bike or hire a taxi to go a little further afield.

Fabulous snorkeling

Great location. Snorkeling was top notch right outside our door. Anita was wonderful, handling minor power issues immediately. The dogs on the property were a problem. Although friendly and adorable the constant barking became a bit annoying. During the day it was tolerable but while on vacation we want our sleep which was interrupted multiple times during the night by the barking dogs for prolonged periods of time . We would recommend this property if the dogs were quiet at night and do realize this might be difficult to control by the owner. The outdoor shower was good for rinsing and the indoor shower always had great hot water and lots of pressure. Kitchen amenities were good, had good utensils and all the items that we needed to cook from home. Thank you for letting us enjoy your little piece of paradise.

Sunset heaven

Perfectly situated, beach right through the gate, amenities all a short walk away. But very private, with a wonderful screen porch where we relaxed when we weren’t on the perfect beach, which was never busy. Outstanding communication throughout. Highly recommended spot. We’ll be back!!

A quiet little slice of paradise

The Island Passage Cottage is a charming, no-frills, clean, on-the-beach cottage a short walking distance to town. The space is open and airy with everything needed to enjoy the most relaxing low-key island stay imaginable. Just down the beach is the wonderful Ospry Hotel, perfect for outdoor meals with an unbeatable ocean view. Friendly beach dogs and donkeys stop by the house to say hello, otherwise it’s remarkably quiet with a private beach vibe. Caretaker Anita was helpful in reserving a golf-cart to tour the tiny island, and with taxi pickup from and to the airport. We can’t wait to visit again.

Amazing Gem for an Island Retreat

We had a wonderful time at this small house on the beach. We loved going snorkeling, riding bikes, visiting nearby restaurants, and hanging out under the shade of a Casuarina tree on the beach just outside of the gate. We had also plenty of help from Ray, Liz and Anita to find what we needed for rentals and other businesses.

wonderful place to get away from it all

The beach in front of the cottage is wonderful and relaxing. There's never a crowd and rarely people passing by. There is a small beach club not far away which hosts cruise ship passengers and you can hear their music periodically but it doesn't stay occupied long and it's not loud.There are a lot of dogs around and while they are not aggressive there is a lot of random barking. I never napped or slept without being woken up by barking. I wanted to sleep with the windows open but that made the barking more bothersome.The cottage is private and has everything you need. It's not fancy and doesn't need to be. The internet and a/c worked very well when I used them. For a longer stay it is a bit of a burden to have to pick up drinking water especially if you are on foot but the location is great. Right at the edge of Cockburn Town with an easy walk to the restaurants there while still feeling secluded.Anita was quick to respond to my questions and gave me a warm welcome when I arrived. And she was able to accommodate late check out which I appreciated.Relaxing at the beach is almost perfect except for the barking but I'd happily return. The long term renters in the house next door were very friendly as well.

Wonderful Stay

Peaceful quiet spot, beautiful view of the water, Beach is empty except for the wonderful friendly dogs that Ray & Liz the other renters in the main house take care of. We loved knowing that the dogs were on high alert and we never felt safer than at this spot. Close to several restaurants and diving companies. We rented a golf cart for the week and explored the whole island. Highly Recommend this rental for two people not looking for extremely fancy, but extremely comfortable.

Peaceful, delightful stay

Extremely quiet peaceful setting right on the beach! Lots of friendly dogs on the property which roam freely on the beach. Basically no one on the beach except for the neighbor cruise visitors but they’re a ways away. Anita was very friendly and helpful arranging a ride to and from the airport. It was a great location to work from home at on the patio and I’d love to come back!

Best Kept Secret of Paradise

This is truly a Gem. My husband, 15 year old son and I stayed in the studio cottage. From the beginning of our reservation to our departure Shannon and Anita were amazing. We had the opportunity to meet Anita and she was so helpful with everything and more! Ray and Liz that live on the property were the best. Truly an experience to unplug and reconnect with Mother Earths gifts. We will be back! Thank you all!!! 11 out of 10!

Paradise - again!

An amazing place to relax! Location in wonderful and the beach is 40' from the front door. We loved it so much last year that we came back this year and loved it even more! Communication with reservations/booking/rental info was fast and simple. Anita (caretaker) contacted us ahead of time and a few times during our stay to make sure all was ok. Ray and Liz (next door on-site) are amazing to deal with. They gave us our space yet said good morning every day, engaged in great conversation, and did little things like rake the beach or replace a broken chair just to make our stay more enjoyable. Did I mention the location is awesome! It is a quiet island and laid back so if you want busy, all-inclusive amenities, this isn't the place. If you want relaxation, a great beach that often only has a couple of people on it at a time (about a mile long stretch), and enjoy island time, then this is heavenly! We wanted for nothing while we were there. We ate out some days and cooked on others. Rented a golf cart for the entire stay to help with getting groceries and for exploring the island (Paradise Golf Carts were great to work with). Morning coffee was in the screen porch or out on the beach. Slept with the windows open to catch the seas breezes and hear the waves. Looking at returning again as this feeds our souls for peaceful relaxation and a quiet escape on an incredible beach!

Island Passage Cottage

We chose this property for the location right on the beautiful, quiet beach and its good price point; it did not disappoint! We absolutely loved the screened-in porch (but would just recommend adding some additional lighting for the evenings). Having bicycles to use would have been a bonus to made it easier to explore the island, get groceries, etc. Overall, a wonder spot for rest and relaxation away from the crowds of other Caribbean islands!

Of course the beach and the sunsets help too. We cooked almost all our meals in the simple but well equipped kitchen. When we. Ome back we are definitely staying here again.

Great little getaway

If you are looking to get away from it all, this tiny little bungalow and near empty beach is the place. Most every day I had some 300+ yards of ocean all to myself. Ray and Liz, the full timers who live adjacent were super nice and helpful and made the stay far better than it would've been. Make sure to bring mosquito repellent and grasp that the night life and food options on the island are pretty limited, which makes sense it's a tiny island. That said if you are looking to just get away from it all and actually meet the locals, who like Ray and Liz are super friendly and outgoing, this is your place!

Perfect get away stay

My partner and I had a very relaxing stay here. Both Shannon and Anita were very responsive and helpful. The cottage is centrally located to the dive shops, restaurants and stores so that we were able to largely walked everywhere. We found the kitchen quite well stocked and Shannon’s welcome packet particularly handy. Being able to step straight out onto the ocean was a big plus. We would highly recommend to others looking for a getaway cottage by the water

We'll be back soon!

This was our 2nd trip to Grand Turk and staying in this little cottage. The location cannot be beat. The beach is indescribable, just steps away from the front door. The people are so friendly and willing to help. We explored the entire island, and I mean the ENTIRE island. There are a handful of stores/markets nearby, some restaurants and diners as well. The Osprey is a very short walk and offers a great menu, just plan ahead because 'Island time' is real. The Sandbar is a great little joint, and we were lucky enough to catch Quiz Night. We had pizza from Kitty's, burgers from the Sandbar, seafood from Osprey. The Ridge is exceptional, just make sure to call ahead. The cottage is exactly as described. It's very small and quaint and exactly what we wanted. The outdoor shower is a nice touch. Make sure to shut the main gate or you'll have donkeys visiting for breakfast! The coffee pot didn't work and Anita replaced it immediately. She is very available and willing to help. I do wish there was more comfortable seating, both inside and out, as we spent most of our time on the lovely screened porch, however when the tropical storm hit and everything got wet, there's really no seating inside, (aside from a rattan bench.) Ray is extremely helpful. We learned so much about Grand Turk from him. The cottage a gem and we can't wait to return.

Exceeded our expectations

The property was larger than it seemed from the photos. The owners had listened to previous comments and had provided reclining sun loungers and several choices of seats in the veranda area. There were very good quality saucepans and hot plates. The outside shower was very handy. The property was very well located.

This cottage is AWESOME. If you want the perfect place for R&R this is for you. Just perfect for a couple. Watching sunsets are the best. Ray and Liz are great. Watching the tourist from the cruise ships are entertaining. A must place to stay if you are in Grand Turk. Walking distance to anything you need.

About the host

Hosted by Shannon Stringer

We fell in love with Grand Turk about 20 years ago. After visiting once or twice a year for many years, we finally bought a place of our own, which we love sharing with other people. Grand Turk is a very special place!

Why they chose this property

Grand Turk is a piece of the old Caribbean. Slow paced, friendly, and very relaxed. A bathing suit, a cover up and some flip flops are all the clothes you need for your vacation here. Step out of the rush of modern life, listen to the waves, feel the sea breeze and feel yourself in the moment.

What makes this property unique

The location of this property is perfect! Right on the beach, just far enough away from the main drag that you feel secluded, but a 2 minute walk to the bars and restaurants and dive shops when you are ready to get up off that lounge chair!
