About this property

Delightful, quiet beachfront cottage

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.

Wonderful Visit
Property exactly as offered. Peaceful location, walkable to dive shop, grocery store and several eateries. Steps to the beautiful beach. Just the place to unwind and dive that I needed. Property manager Anita most helpful. Love to return with my wife.

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!!

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!

About the host

Hosted by Shannon Stringer

Host profile image
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!
