Turks and Caicos IslanderTurks & Caicos Property Management and Vacation Villa Rentals

Provo Ponies is a small riding stable owned and operated by horse woman extraordinaire, Camille Slattery.

The stables are located on the southeast end of the island of Providenciales in the Long Bay area, offering two guided rides per day; the morning ride at 9:30 am and the afternoon ride at 3:30pm during the winter season, 4:30 during the summer.

Camille accepts all experience levels from 6 years old and up; if younger, however, they must be experienced riders. There is, however, an extra charge if someone must be led.

Everyone rides their own horse or pony, with no double riding allowed as there is a 200 pound weight limit. The groups are never more than 12 riders.

And for those of you looking for a more personal experience, private rides are available for an additional fee.

Helmets are available and are required for all children and young adults, aged 17 and under.

The guided rides (not the nose-to-tail variety of ride commonly experienced!!) are wonderful, tracking along quiet dirt roads and trails to the 4 mile stretch of the secluded Long Bay Beach.  Depending upon the tides, more experienced riders are given the chance to trot or canter along the beach. The shallow waters of the Caicos Banks off Long Bay make it an ideal place to experience the joy of riding your horse into the ocean.

To book either a one hour or 90 minute ride, you must make a reservation, securing it with a Visa or Mastercard. At the time of reserving, you will be asked to provide the accurate weight of each member of the group and provide a realistic assessment of the experience levels of all riders so that horses can be properly assigned

And finally, vacation villa renters will be provided directions to the stables and transportation to and from hotels can be provided by this fully insured, licensed, and long-established TCI business.

Last week, my family and I – including 2 grandchildren ages 4 and 3 and their best friend who’s also 3 –  went to Mango Reef at Alexandra Resort for dinner.  What a stunning setting!

As we enjoyed an amazing sunset, the kids had fun playing on the beach and we enjoyed refreshing libations.

The service was terrific and the food – tons of it!! – as great! The ribs, in particular, were mouth-watering!

To add to our pleasure, Candy Barrotti, one of our favorite songbirds, was crooning her fabulous tunes!

So when you’re here visiting our extraordinary island and have a yearning for scrumptious local cuisine and superb entertainment, don’t forget to add Mango Reef and Candy to your to-do list!

Villa del Sol: “More like a Second Home than a Vacation Rental…I Plan to Return Every Year!”

“I absolutely loved this property. The home is beautiful and located right on …gorgeous Grace Bay. I very much liked the privacy of it. The accommodations were excellent and far exceeded our expectations. We loved having the beach to ourselves and this property accommodated my family of six perfectly…furnished beautifully…This is the only rental property that I have ever stayed at whose kitchen was fully stocked with every item/appliance needed.

This is more like a second home than like a vacation rental…and the owners and property management company give great attention to details. It had every amenity that we could have ever wanted. The patio has two wonderfully covered and furnished terraces, a large pool, a volleyball net, hammocks…The beach is literally steps away [and] loved having an outdoor shower too! … many restaurants and resorts nearby and the food is fabulous. I plan to return to this property every year! I highly recommend this vacation rental to anyone!”   by Annette Shellow, July 18-25 2010

Everyone says it, so it’s no wonder Caribbean Travel & Life called Turks and Caicos the “Best Undiscovered Caribbean Destination .”  And Conde Nast Traveler readers voted Grace Bay on Providenciales, Turks and Caicos the “best beach of all tropical islands in the world.”

Turks & Caicos has become one of the hottest destinations in the Caribbean, with direct flights from major cities. The Turks and Caicos Islands are only an hour and a half flight from Miami. Part of the British Crown, the Turks and Caicos Islands are comprised of a number of islands, including Providenciales, North Caicos, South Caicos, Middle Caicos, West Caicos, and Grand Turk.

Providenciales, also known as “Provo”, is the most developed of the Turks & Caicos Islands, and has become a top tourist destination for vacations and holidays because of its gorgeous turquoise waters, powder white sand, excellent restaurants, and tropical breezes.
