The owners of Empyrean Villas put a lot of thought into the design and provisioning of their two villas, and it shows. The kitchen supplies everything you need for cooking a home meal. The beds are very comfortable (box spring, not platform). The baths are small but functional. The ceilings are high, the AC units in the bedrooms keep the whole villa cool if necessary, and the ceiling fans keep it cool if you don’t want the AC. The surfaces they chose are easy to keep clean (we spent a month in Tangerine). Beach towels and snorkeling gear are supplied. The internet service at the villa works very well; we were able to work remotely, send and receive email and access Google, etc. The TV/video setup gets around the video streaming capabilities of Turks and Caicos internet by providing an extensive library of movies available on a USB drive hooked up to the TV. Live TV is also available. The plunge pool is a wonderful extra. My husband liked to have his morning coffee while sitting in the pool. The homeowners have done a wonderful job setting up their villas to be homes away from home. And the beach is just gorgeous and very quiet. It’s about a 3 minute walk from the villa. We spent many nights dining at the nearby restaurant “Silver Palm” which is only a 2 minute walk from the villas. Chrischelle, the property manager, is highly efficient, friendly and prompt on answering any questions or getting something that’s needed. The homeowners are terrific people and are committed to making sure their guests enjoy their stay. Be sure to bring insect repellent (although some was supplied in the villa) for use on the days when the wind doesn’t blow hard enough to keep the sand flies (no see ums/midgies/gnats) at bay. Most of the time it’s not a problem, though. Other than that (and sunscreen), all you need are a few light clothes (we never wore the light sweaters we packed), your swimsuits and some good reading material. Empyrean Villas have everything you need so that you can sit back and relax. It was the best beach vacation we’ve ever had. We will be back.
