New York, New York

"New York, New York.So good they had to name it twice". That's how the song goes.
I totally agree. I love the place but now it's getting a bit colder and the nights are drawing in, I have to say I prefer to be in the Caribbean sunshine. I sit on the balcony at midnight (wine bottle by now, empty) overlooking twinkling lights of the marina and am pleased to be clad in shorts and tshirt. I like winter clothes but getting dressed takes so long doesn't it?!
As I go about my business during the day, the warmth of that brilliant sunshine has such a positive effect on my brain. I smile. I feel good. I feel cut off from the woes of the world. In fact it is o relaxing, it's hard to focus on work!
Times might not be as good as before the global downturn but it is hard to be pessimistic living here.
Lovely people, good restaurants and resorts, beautiful homes and all this space.

So are you tempted to get on a plane? If you are in New York, it's only three hours away on a direct flight. The water is turquoise like you have never seen before . It's like a bath at this time of year and the beaches are to die for.

We'd be happy to meet you and share our balcony. You might even want to own your own.

DO YOU FANCY THE IDEA OF SITTING HERE??

It is the Yacht Club swimming pool in Turtle Cove in Providenciales in the Turks and Caicos Islands. It over looks the marina and to the right is the start of the famous Grace Bay Beach.
Turtle Cove is a little haven of of everything you would want including places to go to meet people.

The complex is a luxury resort where many owners do not rent out their units but keep them for themselves. It is quiet, yet within walking distance of dive operators, car hire, restaurants, fishing and a casino. Snorkel off the beach or laze by the pool all day.

The units are one, two and three bedrooms and are some of the largest and best built condominiums on island.
Nowhere else on island can you step out of your home, get onto your boat and be on the open waters in two minutes.

The Yacht Club is well appointed and well managed. There are a few resales at moment including a stunning penthouse which includes a 60ft dock space and all fixtures and fittings.

The Best Condo Buys are here with us.

Suddenly there is a lot of activity here on Providenciales in Turks and Caicos. Perhaps the visitors have weathered the worst of their cold winters back home and on arrival here, get hooked on the sun, sea and beautiful beaches.

So much so, they are now looking to buy. Although there are some stunningly beautiful individual villas for sale, some prospective buyers want the ease and peace of mind of a condominium.

So we have chosen to feature our favourite FOUR.


Don't forget that stamp duty is reduced to 6% until march 31st so time is running out. You can pay the 10% deposit and the stamp duty at the same time to ensure you take advantage of this special deal from the Turks and Caicos Government.


Call us with any questions or better still, come and see them.

See you soon.

A team meeting to remember

This is a great photo of our colleague Andrew, on our morning visit to the Northwest Point area of Providenciales, where we have listed some new stunning virgin land.

Opposite clear blue seas, we explored this location and found the boundary markers that identity each plot. The breezes are cooling and the location is really wonderful.

Terrrance and Albert have two 10 acre plots, one on the beach and a second one plot back. Zoned for commercial use, the plots are screaming for hotel and residential development.

Getting to the location was a bit of a trial, as the road was cut out some time ago, and is overgrown in places. Fortunately we had the use of sturdy four wheel drive vehicles to overcome the challenge.

We also found, in the bushes and much to our surprise, a relatively new set of outdoor furniture, but without the cushions! Evidently we had stumbled upon a secret bbq place, a frying pan hanging in the bushes, two crude fire pits. and a dented old oil barrel.....what fun. This was, after all, some 2 miles from the nearest road and right in the bush.

We could not resist the temptation to take a photo of us all on the beach lounging in these chairs, so we "borrowed" them briefly for the photograph. We of course returned them to their original location undamaged, but had a bit of fun in the meantime.

The worries of the world were miles away as we scouted around the location, familiarizing ourselves with the layout and location of the land. Feeling very privileged to be in this place at this time, we wondered about what this opportunity may bring someone.

Keep an eye on our website, where photos and location mapping will soon be published. This was a team meeting to be valued.

New York, New York so good they had to name it twice

New York really is one of my favourite cities to visit and after thirty years of traveling there and our son recently living there, we still find so much to see and do.We love the shopping, the people, the reasonably priced everything and the ease of getting around on the subway.

This is especially welcomed after the relaxed quiet pace of Turks and Caicos where we live most of the time.I know those living in cities and doing that commute think what is she thinking?

For those of you that are asking that, may I ask why you are not booking to come over here and experience this yourself?

The Turks and Caicos during the winter months are particularly alluring as the sunshine and cooling breezes make you feel good to be alive. Away from the doom and gloom of the real world, you can take time to reevaluate your life and consider changes to make this short life really count.
It is surprising how easy the thinking is when one is away from the pressures of time management and responsibilities associated with every day life.

Turks and Caicos is a good place to invest where property taxes are non existent, foreigners are welcomed, life is simple, fun and where all nationalities come together for happy hour and to share their interesting and varied backgrounds which never cease to amaze.We all ended up here from all different walks of life and via so many convoluted routes.

That aside, those who have chosen to invest in property or land are doing well, especially when they sell and all proceeds after legal fees are straight into the seller's pocket.

The choice of what to buy is mind boggling. Do you buy a condominium on Grace Bay Beach? A little cottage on a canal? A mansion on Floridian style canals? A piece of hilltop land? A villa with its own beach to rent out to vacationers? A brand two storey townhome? A little resort business?

The possibilities are endless and we at Anchor Realty are all about matching your dreams and aspirations to that perfect property . We can access all property for sale across the islands and are only too happy to meet with you and help with your decisions.

The weather is perfect just now..lots of sun, warm evenings and slight breezes with little humidity.

Book the flight and come on down. Its that easy.

A warm welcome awaits you, coupled with a chilled marguerita if you time it right!

Christmas on the Beach

I know that it is all over but the photos that friends are sending round are fun so thought I would share them.Now, before you get envious of us all on the beach on Christmas Day, I have to confess some of them were saying " It's not Christmas without snow and sitting in front of a log fire!"

I know they are mad but as they say "the grass is always greener".

Our children usually arrive for the holidays from USA and UK and we revert to being like house sparrows,flying around feeding them every couple of hours, trying to please them all knowing their trip is short. Our friends invite us to go and play out and we politely decline and say we have to be Ma and Pa to offspring who expect it.

Well this year they did not come over and I was a lost soul.; no gifts to hurriedly buy and wrap ensuring everyone has same value and same number, no baking,no freezer filled with goodies that I could miraculously and effortlessly pull out after a day out on the boat.

I felt disorientated but friends in a similar position said they would have breakfast with us and then hit the beach with champagne.

I felt better!

The day was fun with so many good friends turning up on Grace bay Beach, to share the sun, sand and fun ( and champers)

The evening was a great success with good friends, inviting us to a wonderful dinner with great company followed by Secret Silly Santa.

Now those who know Turks and Caicos, appreciate how difficult it is to get gifts. I foolishly picked the biggest out of the sack and found myself with a beige,embroidered padded toilet seat!!

I can see readers trying to picture this one...

Anyhow,we had a lot of laughs and at least it's practical!I am not one to be ungrateful!

New Years Eve was a hit, again on the beach with champagne and mince pies., turning up after 10 p.m after we had all been to different eateries. Year after year we do this as a tradition and I am always impressed with hundreds of people, all ages,different nationalities, in all stages of merriment but there is never any bad behaviour, language or drunkeness ( we hide that last bit well).

So now we are back to the grindstone.

As Anchor Realty opened a new satellite office on the beach, you'll appreciate it wasn't difficult coming to work.

Surrounded by people on vacation, relaxing and soaking up the sun, snorkelling around the reef , or sipping a cold drink in the new beach cafe, makes me appreciate my surroundings.

Although I missed my children a lot, there is always next year and in the meantime, sun, sand,warm seas and smiley,happy people will just have to do!

If you are booked to come over, come and say hi at Coral Gardens.

A warm welcome awaits you.
