So glad that you enjoyed your stay in the Turks and Caicos,
I would gladly like to address the complaints you had at the house
(1) No A/C in the Main House living room. As stated on the VRBO site, all bedrooms have A/C’s ,we never said that the living rooms had A/C’s, because the design of the house was to make the living room ceilings very high with a cupola on top to draw and let out the warm air from the living room, thus drawing in cooler air in from the shaded outside air, making the living room comfortable , we even installed ceiling fans to help it even further, and if any guests wants it even cooler, all that has to be done, is to close all the outside doors, and open up the three bedroom doors ( with the 3 A/C’s running ) and the whole living room will be cooler in minutes .
(2)Mosquitoes = All the Guests are sent an e-mail flier a few weeks before arriving, and the heading is = (TIPS TO MAKE YOUR VACATION MORE ENJOYABLE) with a list of items to follow, one of the items is to bring down with you a good insect repellent, as it is a tropical environment, and bugs do bite without it on.
(3) Electricity = Also on the VRBO site, which appears twice, under, rules regulations, policy’s and also on the flier we sent on tips, we put it on there as well, as a reminder, that states = Guests are responsible for the electricity they use (the rental price was lowered for this purpose ).
The Manager always gives out their 24/7 telephone #, so if there’s any repair issues, or anything else that arises, they’re just a phone call away, and if the manager isn’t notified, they can’t fix the problem.
(4) Toilet Overflow, = there is a water shut off valve next to every toilet, if the water doesn’t stop running, all that has to be done is to close the valve, same as you close your kitchen faucet if the waters running, then let the manager know the situation, and they’ll advise you what to do, and be over ASAP to make the necessary repairs, since then (since this never happened before ) we’ve ordered a device to fit into every toilet tank that will prevent anything like this from happening again.
But a call to the manager could have prevented this, as you would have been advised what to do.
Sorry that you found the Island to be very costly but we have to share same expensive costs to run the Estate, and that it doesn’t deter you from returning again to the Turks and Caicos in the future.
And thank you for your honest info.
