Sardina was ideal. The location and atmosphere of this property were exactly what I sought forthe occasion, and almost everything about the property was perfect. I would NOT recommend the grocery service, as this proved to be a huge disappointment. The kitchen at the property needs an updating. The fee for air condition use (and thus overall electric use) as well as the fee for paying by credit card rather than wired cash I found wholly annoying (and to my way of thinking should be absorbed by the property itself). Lastly, the pool should be cleaned every week, but was only serviced before our stay, though I understand the philosophy may have been one of not wishing to disturb us. But if this truly was the philosophy, having a maintenance guy drill into the concrete base of the house for 6 solid afternoon hours into the evening was totally counter-productive to this. That all said is intended for constructive thought, as our overall reflection of the island, the bay location, the property, and our stay is all reflected in the rating offered. This was an amazing trip and a lifetime experience!

The most heavenly place on earth. The location is serene and absolutely beautiful. The one bedroom was clean, stocked with plenty of beach fun activity floats, a two seat kayak and a paddle board that are keep in great condition. The washer and dryer was a bonus and the kitchen was stocked with quality utensils and kitchen ware. The bed was extremely comfortable and the view looking at the bay was spectacular. The area is safe and so quiet. I dream of our return!

Sardinia Villa was very good, and we found it to be exactly as advertised. Very clean and in reasonable condition. There were some signs of hard use, trim pieces missing, dinged up furniture etc. These were not a big deal to us as the whole point is the location and incredible view. We slept with the sliding doors open to the ocean every night. One detail not in the description is the 3 units are located immediately adjacent to a public beach access. This is not a popular tourist beach so it just felt like the families were coming from the Villa neighborhood. You can expect a slow but steady stream of visitors walking behind the property. The landscaping is outstanding (as shown in pictures) to minimize the impact and left us with a semi-private experience. We shared the beach with 25-30 people on each day. One trip over to Grace Bay made this seem like nothing! The location is very quiet and we always felt very safe. Head to the upstairs balcony for a front row seat to beautiful sunset views.

I can not say enough positive things about our recent experience with isle blue !!! My husband and I recently stayed in The Villa called Sardinia in Turks and Caicos for our honeymoon. We were there for 10 days, and every single thing was beyond perfect! Being two gay men, as much as the world has made such positive strides and shows much support for the LGBT community, traveling is always something that makes you aware that not everyone is so kind. With that being said we really wanted to relax and feel comfortable enjoying our honeymoon in private. I found isle blue’s site on google when looking for hotels for our honeymoon about a year ago. Around that time covid was even more of a factor to consider while planning a wedding let alone travel . I took out the recommended travel insurance upon booking which I strongly agree is a smart decision. I was nervous initially booking because there weren’t the thousands of reviews that some of the popular hotels have . I read that some of the previous reviews said that isle blue would require half the fee up front and the second half 2 months before you’re trip . I was told a concierge would reach out to me a month before our trip to help with further accommodations, and they did exactly that! Stephanie our concierge was AMAZING!!!!! I told her in our first email exchange that it was our honeymoon , and she told me she would make everything absolutely perfect ! She provided us with all information we could possibly need , from private chefs , to rental cars , spa services and excursions. She also connected us with a local gourmet market that had a pre stock available for your villa if you don’t want to stop at the store on your way from the airport. We ended up stoping at the store ourselves because it seems more cost effective. Our villa was on Taylor Bay , which is opposite grace bay , where all the hotels and most restaurants are. It was only a 20 minute drive from Taylor bay to grace bay and if you have a rental car , and depending on where you’re from don’t mind driving on the opposite side of the street that you’re used to , it’s not a big deal at all. We were very happy to be on the more residential part of the island with less people. Our villa was absolutely stunning . It had direct beach access , it’s own private pool , and looked exactly like the pictures on isle blues website. To be honest, it was even more impressive in person . Julian the Villa Manager texted us the morning of Our flight to touch base and was waiting for us at our villa to show us around and inform us of anything we needed to know . He was also available by text or call the entirety of our stay if we needed anything , and would respond with in a minute! Stephanie was also still available if we needed her to adjust any reservations. She also hooked us up with chef Jose . He and anyone he brought with him as su chef were so professional and incredibly accommodating and talented!! We had two separate dinners prepared by him and one breakfast , and they were delicious!!!! It was worth every penny! The other days we cooked for ourselves or went to a local restaurant La Brisas . It was a 2 minute drive and worked for lunch and dinner . Other nights we ventured to Grace Bay , but for the most part just enjoyed our beautiful setting at the villa . The pool has beautiful lights at night along with the outdoor landscaping and the view of Taylor bay with the moonlight was incredible !!!! The villa is also set securely with two others behind gates at the beginning of the property. Each villa then also has its own security system . I accidentally set ours off and the security promptly called to make sure all was ok. We felt very safe ! The villa also had a state of the art washer and dryer and plenty of extra towels and bedding ! I know this is a very long review but I just wanted to list all the things that I was looking for when I was booking . Our honeymoon was the best trip of my life and exceeded all of our expectations ! We will absolutely be going back there and using Isle Blue for our future travel ! This is not an add lol !
