This villa was everything we needed and more for our vacation. Our family of 7 fit perfectly! We had a blast riding the golf cart to the beach - which many times we had almost all to ourselves! It was so convenient. We loved lounging by the pool and being in the pool too. The pool is not heated but it did get warm enough for us a couple times to enjoy it. The back deck was wonderful for eating dinner and relaxing. The kitchen was beyond stocked with whatever we needed to make any meal. We never turned on the air-condition since the breeze that flowed through the house with the windows open was so delightful. Everything was so clean, more than enough towels and pillows, and stocked paper products made it so easy.
The storage area was full of so many beach floats, snorkel gear, umbrellas, life jackets, bikes, paddleboards and so much more. There was nothing at all that we needed to run out and get. I highly recommend staying here. Also it was a quick 5-6 minute drive to Grace Bay which made the location so convenient.

We had such a wonderful stay! It was short but very sweet. Hope the house manager was so easy to communicate with throughout our stay. The house is better than described, very clean and comfortable. The kids loved the pool, especially at night with the lights on! Plenty of beach/pool towels which is not always the case. The Kitchen had everything you could need to cook a meal. We had no problem preparing a full Christmas dinner. There was a binder of information that contained anything you would want to know about the house and the island which was so helpful including grocery stores with directions and how far away they were. Thanks for welcoming us for our short stay!
Happy new year!

We were so pleased with this property. It was exactly as pictured and the property manager met us to show us around the house. In addition, she was super helpful in recommending restaurants, booking excursions and answering any questions we had. The pool at the house is perfect for cooling off on the hot days. The amount of beach items such as chairs, towels, etc was great. The outdoor shower did have low water pressure at times but the experience outweighed the water pressure. We cannot wait to come back and stay again.

The Villa was wonderful. Perfect for our group of 2 couples and 3 small children. It was very clean, well stocked kitchen, ton of beach toys & towels. The pool was great for when kids were taking afternoon naps. You need a car but beaches are a very short easy drive. Grocery store is very close too.
Hope was wonderful and responded instantly to questions prior to and during our trip. She even met us for checkin to answer any questions we had.
We would love to return!!

My family and I booked this house for my moms 60th getaway. We were a group of 6 adults. My husband and I ended up in the single beds room which was fine just the mattresses and pillows were flat and uncomfortable but being a kids room prob less thought put into it. Overall the location of the house was great, we rented a car and it was easy to get to and from everywhere. We were happy to find paddle boards and some beach chairs (only 2). The outdoor showers were pretty but a bit of a nuisance being that you couldn’t shower at night cause it’d be too cold and any bit of gust took the water with it. The water pressure in this house is terrible. That’s why I docked a star, it’s an easy fix they need a better pump and I’d recommend it. The host is very responsive and answers messages right away. They had starter stuff for us and to our delight full shampoo and conditioner as well as body wash which was great! So overall a very nice house and accommodating host, biggest complaint is the water pressure.

We enjoyed the quiet privacy of the house and easy access to Grace Bay and other areas. We would absolutely stay here again.

We had a great time staying at this beautiful home. It has many of the amenities needed to enjoy TCI. It was very clean and inviting. The pool was especially enjoyable and convenient. There were only 4 of us, but the following would be my rants had we been more:
It should have had more beach chairs - we could only find 2 - and pool lounge chairs - there were only 3 - and NOT charge an additional fee if the A/C is used - this was sprung on us when checking in. FYI - If you advertise the property includes A/C, then don't attempt to charge more if used.
If the property can accommodate seven persons for sleeping as advertised, it should accommodate at least 4 in regards to amenities, e.g., pool and beach chairs.
Even with these downsides, I'd stay here again!

Liked the 2 bedroom master layout. 2 of 3 showers were outside and had low water pressure. Very private and quiet location which was nice!

This Villa was wonderful!! We stayed there from Christmas day through New Year Eve day. A fully decorated Christmas tree greeted us as we entered the Villa as well as Christmas decorations which was so lovely as we have never been away for Christmas! Hope had candy canes and a tin of cookies for us as well. The villa is peaceful, clean, modern & had everything we needed to have an amazing vacation! It's closest to Long Bay beach, so we checked that out one day and were able to see the kite boarders which was very cool! You can actually see the water and kite boarders in the distance from the villa. Grace Bay beach is less than an 10 min. drive and is a fabulous beach! That is where we spent most of our days. The town of Grace Bay is great and has many fantastic restaurants & shops. There are great restaurants just outside of the town as well. Make reservations in advance. Overall we highly recommend Villa Hakuna Matata!

Great property and management

The place was hard to get to and we got lost for an hour. But once we found the place is was Hakuna Matta . Overall we had a great time…would come back again. The response time if we needed any help was quick. My only con was the last day check-out was at 11a..the house cleaners came at 10a and the pool guy at 8a and there was a water issue when we were trying to get ready. My suggestion is to wait till after check-out to do all those things But other than that day..everything was great, thanks again for letting us celebrate my bday!

The name says it all. No worries whatsoever staying here! We loved staying at this villa. It was clean, well maintained, beautiful and had everything you needed. You definitely need a car but everything is close by and the drives aren’t long at all. Hope was a wonderful host, but honestly we didn’t reach out much because everything went so well. Checkin and check out was very easy. We will definitely stay here again. We’ve been to the island many times and this was one of our best vacations. My son wants us to buy the house, lol!
Thank you for allowing us to stay at your beautiful villa!

Home is beautiful, bright, comfortable and clean! Pictures are spot on, it even has a deck (not shown) with a grill and table for eating. We loved the outdoor showers. The pool is not heated so didn’t get to enjoy it as much. You definitely need a car to get around as the area is still in development but felt extremely safe! Only about a 6-7 minute drive to Grace Bay! Hope ( property manager) was wonderful and responded quickly. Only recommendation for the owners is to get new beach stuff, umbrella’s broken and chairs are old, other than that the home has everything you need! Do not hesitate to book!

The house was super cute. There was spotty communication before the trip, however Hope was good about getting back to me during our stay. Water pressure and internet were spotty during our stay.
4.7
The property was very clean and exactly as pictured. There was an issue with the ensuite bathroom but Hope had someone come in to fix it right away. Though it's not on the beach, it's close to everything (if you have a car). I would recommend this property.

Clean, modern, comfortable villa, very well-equipped. Property manager is excellent, very responsive and a pleasure to deal with. Definitely need a car.

We had a really great time at your property. We felt very safe, loved how clean the property and Hope did a great job.
4.7
The house was as expected - very well stocked & comfortable beds. The location is not the best. Stray dogs everywhere which is not great for our family who likes to run. This is not the owners fault, just reality. Must drive to the beach - thought we could walk to Long Bay beach, but it doesn’t feel safe.
4.7
Need better directions to find property coming from airport. Lovely clean new property. All amenities provided. Walk to beach was ok for adults but too far for infant/small children

We loved our stay at Hakuna Matata. The home was beautiful and had everything we needed for a week long stay. We throughly enjoyed the private outdoor showers and all of the outdoor space. We didn’t see pictures on the listing but when we arrived we noticed a large deck space which was great for eating outside (there’s also a grill on the deck). The home is centrally located. You can see the water from the upper level too. You’ll find easy access to everywhere on the island from her too. We’d recommend staying here to any friends and family anytime. Only tithing ti note would be don’t put the address listed into your phone for directions. Follow the clearly listed instructions for finding the home. We didn’t do this and it took us a while to find it… with Hope’s help. Thanks for a great stay!

The stay was accommodating. We originally had seven adults meant to stay but only 6 ended traveling. It lists for 7 but I honestly think 6 adults should be the mass. We had issues with the hot water heater. But it was quickly and promptly resolved. Overall I would stay here again unlike with the resorts. We had no quiet time so it was pleasant to be able to enjoy the pool after 12 when everything is shutdown. Hope was very informative and attentive.
4.7
We had at awesome time at your beautiful house. Close to long bay beach and easy to get to. Very nice spacious house with the pool. Loved the outdoor showers. Would definitely stay here again! Thanks for allowing my family to stay there!

Very nice and clean home with plenty of room for a family of 5. Pool was amazing for kids. Very close to all resorts, beaches, restaurants, activities. Highly recommend!
4.7
The house was exactly as the pictures show. The home was well equipped and in a good location. Just a short drive to numerous beaches. Would rent this house again. Ask Hope about the one item that needed a minor correction.
4.7
Great, easy house, beautiful weather, a lovely island!

This was the perfect retreat for our family of four. We had plenty of room for everyone and everything was great (including Hope). We had access to games, sunscreen, beach coolers and chairs. Everything was clean and we appreciated the alarm system and motion lights. The best parts were not having to share a pool and having our kids experience their first outdoor shower. We will definitely be back!

Our family just returned from a 6 night stay at the Hakuna Matata villa and thoroughly enjoyed our visit. The villa is beautiful, it had all the accommodations we needed and is really in a great location. The beds/bedrooms were great, the pool was very relaxing and the space was perfect for our family of 5. We especially loved that it was walking distance to Long Bay beach, and only a 8-10 minute drive to Grace Bay. It was also about 10 minutes away from Leeward beach as well. The villa is quite private from the busy resort areas, and we loved sleeping with our windows open to the rushing winds off the ocean. We ended up cooking quite a lot during out visit to save $, and loved working in this kitchen. We were able to use sand toys, beach chairs and a cooler from the villa that made our beach visits great. You'll want a rental car most likely, as this villa isn't walking distance to shopping/groceries for a long-visit. Overall, a fantastic visit that we'd do again.

We went for my sister in law's Birthday week and enjoyed our stay at the house. We did have a problem with Hope. We wanted to watch the olympics and didn't know how to work the internet TV, next morning after our arrival we called Hope and asked her if she could help us with the TV.....she said Nope you will have to go to the bar and watch it. Really, we were shocked at her response....we didn't watch TV the whole time we were there. On the day we left the cleaners came in and we were talking and they said here is how you work it. Hope was just not helpful and we probably won't rent this house again the next time we come to Turk's and Caicos.....Disappointing..:(
4.7
We really enjoyed our stay at the villa. It is a very quiet and beautiful home. The location is perfect because we are close to the beach, the supermarket and restaurants. We will definitely come back.

We loved our stay at the Hakuna Matata villa located near Long Bay beach. The design and size of the villa was ideal for our family of 5. The location on the hill was great for capturing the ocean breezes coming from different directions, and seeing the kites from the kite boarders on the nearby Long Bay beach. It was a 10-15 minute walk to this beach and a 10-15 minute drive to Grace Bay beach. We went scuba diving with Big Blue Unlimited, so it was a 5 minute drive to the Blue Haven Marina. The villa has a fully stocked kitchen with the supplies we needed as well as an outdoor gas grill so we were able to prepare most of our meals. We appreciated the use of the beach towels and the access to wifi. We had a wonderful stay and highly recommend this beautiful villa.

We had a really great moment. The house has everything you need and is totally brand new. It s 3 min away from long bat beach by car. Really nothing. Hope was really helpful to answer any questiion. We ll definitely come back !
