Our centrally located studio condo at Vista Azul Resort is the perfect balance of value and location. It is walking distance to 3 of the more popular restaurants on the island as well as the top snorkelling location -- Smith's Reef. The closest beach access is walking distance and is at the West end of the #1 ranked beach in the world - Grace Bay Beach. Central Grace Bay is <10 min drive. Two pools (one heated) are on the upper level (accessible by stairs) with STUNNING panoramic ocean views.
Our little condo has a queen size bed and we have the option for a queen size air mattress for a 3rd guest if necessary. There is a private bathroom with a walk-in shower, and a small storage space behind the bathroom door where we keep the towels, beach chairs, small cooler, and snorkel gear. We can no longer provide a beach umbrella.
If you choose to dine in, our mini kitchen includes all your basic needs - refrigerator, induction cook top, complete dining set for 2, pots, pans, and small appliances (toaster and coffee maker). However, there is no formal dining area to sit.
If you would like our chef to deliver breakfast to you on one or every morning, let us know! He can also do in house lunches and dinners if you prefer.
Our photos are accurate in showing every angle of our studio, and not meant to mislead in any way. However, one guest felt mislead by the photos and thought the space looked larger in the photos than it really is. The room is about 300 sqft.
If you are looking for a lot of space to spread out and plan to spend most of your vacation indoors, then our charming condo is likely not for you.
Please reach out to us if you have any questions, concerns or would like some clarification about our space.
You are free to wander on the entire resort grounds. The resort has 2 pools (one heated) and a jacuzzi for your enjoyment. They are all located on the top deck of the resort (accessible by 5 sets of stairs), which has a stunning panoramic ocean view, lounge chairs and umbrellas. We provide 2 beach towels, 2 beach chairs, and 2 sets of snorkel gear for free inside the condo.

We recommend renting a car no matter where you choose to stay on the island because there are so many beautiful beaches to visit, and delicious local cuisine to eat all over the island. It's a small island so nothing is more than 15 minutes away.
A unique and fun activity for puppy lovers is to volunteer at The Potcake Place in Salt Mills Plaza in Grace Bay to take a shelter puppy for a walk for a couple of hours. This is a very popular activity for tourists. Get there early to avoid the line up! You can even adopt a puppy to take home with you. They take care of all the paperwork and assist you at the airport to take away any potential stress.
Our condo in Turtle Cove is a welcomed relaxing experience from the hustle and bustle of Grace Bay. If you're looking for total relaxation and a virtual private beach, this is the place for you and will be a vacation you will never forget!
In Turtle Cove, everything is a short drive away and parking is never a problem. We do highly recommend renting a car as there is lots to see and do. No matter where you stay on the island, a car is recommended. Expedia is a good source for the most affordable rental options. Other options include Grace Bay Car Rental, Scooter Bob's, Avis and Hertz.

If you plan to spend your days indoors, preparing 4 course meals for romantic candle light dinners, then our condo is not ideal for you.
