If you are looking to get away from it all, this tiny little bungalow and near empty beach is the place. Most every day I had some 300+ yards of ocean all to myself. Ray and Liz, the full timers who live adjacent were super nice and helpful and made the stay far better than it would've been. Make sure to bring mosquito repellent and grasp that the night life and food options on the island are pretty limited, which makes sense it's a tiny island. That said if you are looking to just get away from it all and actually meet the locals, who like Ray and Liz are super friendly and outgoing, this is your place!

My partner and I had a very relaxing stay here. Both Shannon and Anita were very responsive and helpful. The cottage is centrally located to the dive shops, restaurants and stores so that we were able to largely walked everywhere. We found the kitchen quite well stocked and Shannon’s welcome packet particularly handy. Being able to step straight out onto the ocean was a big plus. We would highly recommend to others looking for a getaway cottage by the water

This was our 2nd trip to Grand Turk and staying in this little cottage. The location cannot be beat. The beach is indescribable, just steps away from the front door. The people are so friendly and willing to help. We explored the entire island, and I mean the ENTIRE island. There are a handful of stores/markets nearby, some restaurants and diners as well. The Osprey is a very short walk and offers a great menu, just plan ahead because 'Island time' is real. The Sandbar is a great little joint, and we were lucky enough to catch Quiz Night. We had pizza from Kitty's, burgers from the Sandbar, seafood from Osprey. The Ridge is exceptional, just make sure to call ahead. The cottage is exactly as described. It's very small and quaint and exactly what we wanted. The outdoor shower is a nice touch. Make sure to shut the main gate or you'll have donkeys visiting for breakfast! The coffee pot didn't work and Anita replaced it immediately. She is very available and willing to help. I do wish there was more comfortable seating, both inside and out, as we spent most of our time on the lovely screened porch, however when the tropical storm hit and everything got wet, there's really no seating inside, (aside from a rattan bench.) Ray is extremely helpful. We learned so much about Grand Turk from him. The cottage a gem and we can't wait to return.

The property was larger than it seemed from the photos. The owners had listened to previous comments and had provided reclining sun loungers and several choices of seats in the veranda area. There were very good quality saucepans and hot plates. The outside shower was very handy. The property was very well located.

This cottage is AWESOME. If you want the perfect place for R&R this is for you. Just perfect for a couple. Watching sunsets are the best. Ray and Liz are great. Watching the tourist from the cruise ships are entertaining. A must place to stay if you are in Grand Turk. Walking distance to anything you need.

Loved it

Another great stay at “our” favourite beach cottage! Everything we need when we visit beautiful Grand Turk!

Great location on the island for walking to most places... if you don't mind walking. Long beach walks were lovely and very quiet. Water was rough for much of our stay - but that was more because of the time of year. It's a simple studio cottage - as advertised. We had breakfast there but ate out most of our other meals. When not out and about we spent our time in the screened in porch! Went whale watching one day and got to swim with a mom and baby calf - which was quite amazing! Everyone on the island were very friendly - which we loved! You need patience dining out as the service is not fast - but the food is simple and very good. We hope to be back one day!

I can’t imagine a better place to stay on Grand Turk. The location, the unit itself, the lovely neighbors, the friendly hosts. Everything from start to finish was perfect! It was the heaven that my daughter and I dreamed of!

Love this cottage.

Property exactly as offered. Peaceful location, walkable to dive shop, grocery store and several eateries. Steps to the beautiful beach. Just the place to unwind and dive that I needed. Property manager Anita most helpful. Love to return with my wife.

We have stayed at this property before and we were looking for some downtime and knew this is the place to The wife and I love to get away from reality and this place does it for us. You can walk the beach and see no one 👍 The property manager is always a phone call away She is a very helpful person. If you want to get away from the fast pace world this is the place for you. ❤️

We gave the Island Passage 5 star because the beach at the property is the best on the island, and Liz and Ray are the best. We spent 13 nights and spent most of our time on the beach right in front of the property. Hardly anyone there, maybe 3 or 4 people within eye sight. Had the beach to ourselves almost every day. The exception is when the Cruise ship is in. There is a place that accommodates passengers a couple of houses south, but they are only around for 4 hours or so, and stay pretty much right in front of the property. That occurred 3 times during our stay. Liz and Ray were a pleasure to meet and talk to everyday. They definitely made our vacation better. The house is small, but adequate for 2 adults. The bed was pretty good. You really would be hard pressed to cook meals in the kitchen. Barely any counter space, and only one 10 inch fry pan to cook on the induction stove. There were several other pans for other uses. The toaster oven didn’t work. Never tried the microwave, kind of hard to get too. The VRBO pictured a grill, which was not there. We questioned if the house was cleaned before we arrived. The bathroom appeared dirty. There were old pieces of soap on the shower floor, a dirty sponge and stuff in the kitchen sink. No shampoo or paper towels,{4 rolls of paper towels were $29}, one small hotel size bar of soap. Didn’t really matter, we always bring our own soap and shampoo. It is a great property with just a little effort it could be so much better. The yard has dead branches everywhere, old rusted chairs and there was a mop and bucket hanging from the tree that must have been there for ever. With all that said, we definitely will stay at Island Passage on our next trip to Grand Turk. Can’t beat the beach!

This was an absolutely awesome stay!!! It was totally what was described and expected. This cottage is ideal for those wanting to get off the grid and forget about the world and focus on the “here and now”! We did not rent a car, bike or golf cart. All our needs were within an easy walk and we found no need to even Taxi other than to and from the airport. Our host, Anita, quickly answered all our questions, the Wi-Fi was excellent and what’s app work well for phone use. The beach was wonderful, as was the water and snorkeling. The only “wants “ would be warm water in the outdoor shower and beach chairs that lay flat. Neighbors, Ray and Liz, were wonderful as were the locals. This is a “must return “ kind of place for at least two weeks. It was awesome.

I am apprehensive to say what I really think about this property - because I am feeling very selfish and want it to always be available just for me! Seriously this is a little gem. Nothing fancy - just what is needed is provided. Liz and Ray are beautiful people - best neighbors ever. The one thing folks should be prepared for is the disarray that is Grand Turk. The government has done very little to help its people - garbage and wreckage strewn everywhere- with no planning in place. It is not true that there is no crime here. That being said, I NEVER felt unsafe. I just never let my guard down. But the water is stunning and the people are lovely. And the cottage was perfect.

Perfectly situated, beach right through the gate, amenities all a short walk away. But very private, with a wonderful screen porch where we relaxed when we weren’t on the perfect beach, which was never busy. Outstanding communication throughout. Highly recommended spot. We’ll be back!!

Same as abice

First of all I have to say Shannon is an amazing host. She knows how to make people feel welcome! The place itself is incredible. I am at a loss as to how to describe it accurately. It is like beaming back in time by 50 years. Imagine sitting on the most pristine beach, with no one else there as far as the eye can see and witnessing a beautiful sunset. That is the only way I can sum this place up. We had some small teething troubles but Shannon and Anita sorted them out so quickly and to our complete satisfaction. The practical stuff: amazing and deserted beach just outside. Welcoming neighbours. Restaurants and bars and some small shops within 5 mins walking distance. This place has it all. I was worried that it would be a schlep to go so far for only 6 days. I was soooooo wrong. We went home feeling like we had 3 weeks away. This is an amazing place, with a great host and I can’t recommend it highly enough!

I stayed at the cottage for 8 days .It was exactly as described .The space is simple and comfortable with a big screened in porch .The beach is right there and you can hear the ocean .Anita the manager was there when I arrived and she could not do any more for me .She is really friendly and helpful .I walked to the local restaurants in the evening and they were all good .I wanted a quiet beach and book rest and it was perfect. Thank you all !

This place was fantastic! I can’t say enough great things about the house. She knows everything about the island. She can set up any excursions that you want. Set you up with a rental vehicle which I strongly suggest. Just a wonderful lady. Thanks Anita! And the property is amazing. The beach in your backyard. The place doesn’t break the bank and you get to stay right on the beach. If you are not looking for the all inclusive, pamper, luxury amenities, you will not be disappointed. This place has everything you need for a wonderful and affordable vacation. I will be back and I strongly suggest…

This cottage is quite literally on the beach and has all the essentials necessary inside. We really enjoyed our 8 days in Grand Turk, and would come back again in a second.

Couldn't ask for a more relaxing and private location, yet a close walk to bars, stores, and restaurants.

we had a great time would recommend that cottage to anyone

Great house perfectly located!!

The cottage was perfect, exactly what we were looking for. Away from the hustle and bustle, the beach just steps away and very low key. Can’t wait to come back!

Dear Shannon, "If you are looking for a holiday on a deserted beach you have found it! My husband and I spent 5 days here in January and it was glorious. The beach is beautiful and empty and it is just a walk away to hotels for dining and dive shops for diving. The cottage itself is right on the beach and is fully equipped including a fridge that will hold a week's worth of groceries. Oh and the porch is a fabulous place to eat, read and while away the hours. We will be back." J and J Jan 22, 2020

We were looking for a nice place on a beautiful beach and we found it. It's quiet and peaceful. We plan to stay again soon!

This house has everything you need and could not be closer to the water. We had a simply wonderful time on the island.

My husband and I spent a wonderful week here. The house has everything you need and you can swim and snorkel right out front or take a short ride over to Governors beach. We rented a golf cart from Omar and had a great time riding around the island checking out all of the sites. We can't wait to come back.

This quaint cozy cottage is directly on the beach, within a short walk into town. We enjoyed relaxing on the secluded beach during the day, and the beautiful sunset each night. A wonderful place to enjoy the quiet beauty of Grand Turk. The Grand Turk dive shop is just a 2 minute walk, as well as a few restaurants should you want to dine out.

We where at the island passage cottage as a get away from the cold and snow. What a great time. Very relaxing, quiet and stress free place. Loved the sunsets every night. Really good places to eat within walking distance. Had to remember to keep the gates closed on the yard or you will have some friends stop by- wild donkeys! Ha! So funny! Wondering dogs would stop by as well so friendly. Fun when the cruise boats came in. Changes the atmosphere on the island but not really at the cottage. Floated on rafts every afternoon with a cold drink or two. Just walked through the gate and you are on the sand. Awesome!

My husband and I spent a terrific, relaxing week in this small beachfront cottage. We had everything that we needed and enjoyed the beautiful beach, sunsets, and peace and quiet. Swimming or snorkeling right off of the beach with a little maneuvering between rock forms. We spent much of our beach time under the tree at the beach reading, relaxing and enjoying the amazing island weather. There are very few people on the beach and lots of opportunity to walk the gorgeous beach. The cottage faces west and delivers a gorgeous sunset each evening. Wifi was great and no TV available.... perfect!! We walked to restaurants close by and were very pleased with quality of food on the island. Osprey hotel close by has terrific bbq evenings and happy hour that we would highly recommend. Lunch at the Sandbar was another favorite very close by. We rented a golf cart for part of the week and roamed the island. There is minimal night life on the island but if you are looking for relaxation and to get away from it all in a beautiful location then this is the perfect place. My husband keeps telling me to stop sharing how much we enjoy it as Grand Turk is a secret best kept quiet!! Until next time...…….
