"Dearest Doreen,
Greetings from the Three Sister's who absolutely loved staying at the Atlantic
Ocean Beach Villa!!! The upper Villa was so PERFECT and exactly what we were hoping for. The accommodations were very suited to our needs. The best
accommodation was having the beach right outside the back door...it was like
having our own?private beach. Also, not to mention due to the privacy on the
beach, we captured great memories on camera (using the self timer) in the
turquoise waters of Grace Bay. We were like three silly little girls reliving
our childhood. We laughed so hard and had so much fun! The past two years the
"other resorts" did not provide the privacy to have the fun we had staying at
your Villa.
Our most delightful time was our morning coffee, our daily devotional, and
Prayer time on the balcony overlooking the beautiful Grace Bay. The best
experience was having Spa Tropique come out and set up on the balcony to give us all a massage at the same time...a clear crisp blue ski, a slight breeze to keep
you cool,and hearing the waves rolling in and out while getting a massage-there
are no words to describe it other than,WOW! WOW!?WOW!
Thank you for your kindness and the opportunity to stay at your Villa...we will
be calling you next year!!!
Most Sincerely,
The Three Sister's who love T&C!

We just got back Tuesday from a week on Provo. I can truthfully say it was the best vactaion I have ever had and cannot think of one negative thing about it.
First of all if you are looking for a place to stay you need not go any further than Atlantic Ocean Beach Villas. Please Please check it out. It is a wonderful house right on the beach with everything you need. It is located in turtle cove within walking distance of turtle cove marina. You step out of the beautifully landscaped grounds right onto the beach. Take a few more steps into the water and you are at one of the most sought after snorkel reefs. And I do mean just a few steps. So no need to pay for that snorkeling trip or the snorkeling gear because there are 5 sets of snorkelin gear at the house. You have all this yet the beach seems private, very few people. But what I was impressed with the this house was the beds, they were more comfortable than home and that is rare when you are traveling. Also I expected to have to buy water for drinking and coffee but the water is great here. Most of all though the owner is wonderful, it was my first trip to Provo and she kept me informed on everything. It was like visiting family or friends. I just can't say enough. I lived on the porch, facing the ocean with comfortable furniture and a constant ocean breeze. It was heaven..
We didn't get a car when we first got there so we just walked up to Turtle Cove and there are several great restaurants there. Aqua, Tiki Hut, Sharkbites, Banana Boat,( I think), plus you can book excursions from there as well, or fishing trips. Scooter Bobs is there and we walked there to get the car. We had a small yellow SUV named Larry. It just added personality to our trip.
Once we had a car we began exploring.. (Although I my husband made me sit in the back seat because I kept freaking out with the left hand side driving). First off if you go to Provo you HAVE to go to Da Conch Shack. We went there 3 times and it was great each time. Such a wonderful experience and great affordable food. The conch fritters are a must and the conch salad is great. If you prefer fish the grouper plate is excellent. Oh get the plaintain frys as a side.
We also ate at Smokey's. It was a nice island experience but a little pricey, but the friendliest place we went to. It is just up the road from Da Conch Shack. These restaurants are located at Blue Hill and there are several local artisan shops there as well. Also there is a little childrens playground right on the beach. It is a must that you stop and swing by the beach. That was one of my greatest experiences. On the last night there we went to Aqua restaurant for a nice dinner. I highly recommend the lobster dinner there, it was great and so was the ambiance.
Most of all though Provo was the friendliest place I have ever visited. Everyone was so helpful and pleasant. It was refreshing. Also I personally liked the fact there was no Walmart or fast food joints. I left feeling like I had spent my hard earned money with real people who also work hard for their money and not corporate america.
Other highlights were we went on a sunset cruise with Sail Provo. That was very pleasant and reasonably priced I thought. The sun didnt' cooperate but that was ok too. We found a Haitian artisan market that had great metal art and wood art. I wish I had gotten more things there but I wasn't sure how much room I had to pack things in on the trip back. They are reasonalby priced as well I have checked the internet since I got back home and the prices are much higher here. It is located near Saltmill. Take the street on the right of Comfort Suites and take a left at the intersection and it is right up the road on the right.
Hope this is as helpful to others and the post on this forum was helpful to me in planning my trip. It was an invaluable tool and completely accurate.

We stayed in the top villa, which from the porch provides a wonderful view of the ocean. It has two bathrooms with showers and an outside shower located on the path coming back in from the beach. Full kitchen, nice living area space with tv and dvd player, and a stereo(but who needs tv when you are on vacation) phone service and wireless internet. There are some dvds there as well, To my surprise there was the complete selection of The Pink Panther movies and we so enjoyed them, havent watched them in years and it was fun. Did I mention the hamocks? Oh they are awesome too. There are lounge chairs located near the bbq area and it is a perfect place at night to watch the stars. We actually saw some shooting stars. I also saw one of the most amazing sunrises from the porch on the last morning. If you need to relax and decompress. I can't imagine a better place. Once you get groceries you don't really have to leave the house and grounds.
Two bedrooms, one king size facing the beach and the other is queen I think. Both are extremely comfortable.
Fully stocked with linens including beach towels and sheets.
I will post some pictures when I get them loaded if I can figure out how.
The owner is lives in the states, so I could easily communicate with her prior to the trip so I felt completely prepared.
