Reviews for this vacation villa rental in Providenciales, Turks and Caicos
Giuli D. said... Heaven on the island -Nov 28, 2016
We spent 6 amazing nights in this beautiful villa. It was everything I expected and more. The house is very spacious and we never felt cramped. The rooms are comfortable and the dining room was used daily for family dinners. My favorite part of the home was the backyard. It truly is dreamy and makes you feel as if you are in your own personal resort. I can't begin to tell you the times I spent laying out in the hammock and hanging out by the pool, it's just amazing back there.
The beautiful beach is just a short bike ride away and the lounge chairs provided by the villa are backpacks and very easy to carry. The entire trip was planned a year ahead and Dany was so helpful during the process. It is always a little stressful trying to plan a trip hundreds of miles away but everything went smoothly and was very responsive to all my emails.
Once you check-in you will meet Robert! He is so awesome and will ALWAYS be available if anything goes wrong. With a family of 10, the coffee maker decided to stop working one morning and Robert came over in 15 minutes with not only 1 but 2 new coffee makers!!
Here are some helpful tips:
1. Rent a car, it is going to be very useful when you are exploring the island and the villa is VERY close to a supermarket.
2. Bring a lot of bug spray. I'm not kidding, no matter where you go at night, you are going to need this. For example, we went through 12 bottles :)
3. The neighborhood the villa is located at is very safe. I know this is one of the things that always worries me when I travel but I felt safe during those late night walks.
4. Soak in the sun and have FUN I can't wait to book this villa again! I'm already dreaming of the outdoor space and beach....

Tamera B. said... AWESOME * AWESOME* AWESOME - Nov 4, 2016
This home is amazing. We were a group of 8 friends ( couples and singles) and it was perfect. The pool and outdoor living space was fantastic. We spent 99% of our time out back.
The home is very clean and the kitchen has everything you need including lots of spices. We thought we would eat out a lot but ended up grilling about every night.( Thanks guys) You can't beat the price of the lobster tails from the red pickup on the side of the road near airport.
Very easy short walk to the beach (great having beach chairs & towels to take with you). I do recommend renting a car. It was easy to get around the town. Robert the property Manager was wonderful. If we need anything at all he was there. I would rent this home over and over again
Thanks you Dany and Lucy for sharing your beautiful home. Recommended for:

The villa tropica is an awesome place to stay. This was our annual girls trip and 1st time to Turks and Caicos. Robert the property manager is very helpful . The place looks exactly like the pictures. I will definitely stay here again. It is very close to the best beach.

Mary Ann S. Said... August 28, 2016 Excellent Experience
This house has everything you could ask for! It's in a safe neighborhood, walking distance to the beach, clean, comfortable and roomy! Having wifi, Netflix, Roku was a plus! The Marina down the road has an excellent happy hour and downtown is a close 5 min drive.
The pool is awesome! We had fun experiencing the different lights of the pool. The house comes with Everything you need for a comfortable stay and cooking in, including a grill. Also comes with everything you need for the beach (chairs, umbrella, cooler). Also comes with bikes! Dany the owner is quick to respond to your emails and a pleasure to deal with.
Robert, the property manager is vivacious and super nice. He is so helpful and knowledgeable about the places to see and things to do on the island.
Highly recommend Villa Tropica and if you've never booked a villa before, do not be hesitant about Villa Tropica. They are very honest people!

My Response
Hi Mary, we are glad that you and your guests have enjoyed staying at Villa Tropica. The major reason why we bought that property is exactly what you have mentioned, the safety of being in the private area of Leeward and the proximity of Pelican beach.
Thank you so much for your review, we look forward to welcoming you again ! Dany, Lucie and all the team !
Stephen G. said...Jun 28, 2016 - Amazing House
Special Thanks to Robert and his wife they were very accommodating during our stay. Dan the owner was also very flexible as we had changed the numbers of guest a couple of times. The home was very clean and beautiful; well kept and updated appliances. I think our favorite place to eat was the Flamingo which is very close to the house. The garden in the back is amazing along with the pool with its changing lights. The kids spent a lot of time in the pool and when they were not in the pool it was easy to keep them occupied with the Rocu boxes. This is the perfect place for any family with kids or older relatives who may have difficulty getting around. If you are considering a home to rent on the island please consider this place!!
Michelle S. said... Jun 27, 2016 - This Villa has it all!
Villa Tropica was an amazing vacation rental. Located just minutes from a beautiful beach that was almost private, it provided us with everything we needed for a great family vacation. We had 7 travelers from ages 4-88 and everyone was pleased with this well equipped house. The bedrooms are large and most offer private bathrooms (2 bedrooms share a jack and Jill bathroom). The kitchen is well equipped and had everything we needed to cook many meals in. In addition, the patio has a great Weber grill that we used often. The patio, gardens and outside pool area were amazing! The kids and adults alike loved the lighted pool and pool deck. This house is gated and provides a security system. There is even a game room with a Foosball table and everything you need to enjoy the beach ( chairs, umbrellas, coolers, beach toys). We could not have asked for a better beach rental and look forward to returning!

My Response
Thank you very much Michelle for your review. Personally, I think Pelican Beach is the most beautiful beach of the island, both for its fine sand and shallow turquoise water and especially for its peacefulness. We are delighted that Villa Tropica was up to your expectations. Hope to see you soon!
Robert E. said... Beautiful home, fantastic kitchen, tropical grounds, May 30th, 2016
Our family of 9 (all adults) had a wonderful time that will be a lasting memory. We hope to return some day.
Ethan J. said... Awesome Getaway - June 6th, 2016
We spent a week at villa tropica and loved it. The house and pool are both very large and can easily accommodate 10 people. The kitchen is fully stocked and all the seasonings were a huge plus for cooking in.
The beach right down the street(pelican i believe) was the best beach we visited even better than the highly rated Grace bay and one other we visited. Grace Bay beach has resorts and lined with umbrellas, passing boats, parasailers, paddle boarders, sailers, etc. But Pelican bay beach is calm, quiet, no waves, no resorts or beach front houses. the perfect beach.
The service at every restaurant was very VERY slow so be patient if you visit restaurants. We visited the casino twice and it was very fun and safe. Mixed drinks or frozen drinks are a minimum of $10 anywhere you go and the grocery store can be expensive but is wasnt as bad as we expected. Beer for local Turks head is $45 for 24 and liquor is marked up 100% of the price in America.
We rented a car and it is definitely necessary to get around as the closest hub of restaurants and stores are just our of bicycle range. We rented a "character car" from grace bay rentals which was $250 for the week and its nothing special but a clean old car that gets the job done. There are beach chairs and umbrellas and with the house so it was nice to have everything needed for a day at the beach.
Robert was great for check in and always available if needed for any questions. We did the caicos dream tour and everyone in our group enjoyed it. it was $99 and they take you to a reef to snorkel and there is alot to see including the 2 five to 8 feet reef sharks we saw.
I'd highly recommend the snorkel dream tour. Everything from booking, payment, and check out was quite easy and I would love to return some day.
Mitchell R. said... Amazing Week at Villa Tropica - June 6th, 2016
From the time of arrival and being greeted by Robert until our departure he was always available for questions or issues that arose. He was very helpful pointing out all the great spots on the island on a map (bring a map from the airport for him to mark-up).
The villa is spectacular. We spent a lot of time making good use of the kitchen which is fully stocked with just about ever utensil, dishware, and kitchen appliance you may need. All the rooms are nice and clean. The beds are extremely comfortable, you will have no problem sleeping well after a long day in the sun. The pool situated in the middle of the villas gardens makes it feel very remote and secluded for added privacy.
Pool lights are very neat as well! There are quite a few tvs throughout the home that have roku devices already logged in to Netflix so you will always have something for you or the kids to watch during the downtime. There's a large bookshelf with plenty of selection and a few card/board games as well.
The home is in the safest part of the island and has a gated access (Robert will give you the code and the clicker upon arrival) and an alarm system so no need to worry. There is parking for up to 4 cars behind the gate for large groups. The house also comes with plenty of leftover sunscreen, bug spray, aloe Vera, and bug candles/wicks. Now for the best part.
The home comes with 5 really nice beach chairs that fold up and have backpack straps as well as multiple light umbrellas, coolers, bikes, beach floaties, footballs, and kids beach toys. You have everything you need to enjoy the wonderful Pelican beach is the extension of the world renowned Grace Bay beach and is the closest beach to the villa (3 minute walk if that).
This beach is the most amazing beach I have ever seen (better then grace bay, long bay, and many others I have visited throughout the carribean and Mexico). You will get a better breeze here then on Grace Bay with all their high rise resorts. The water is like bath water and we would just float for hours. There is very few groups that visit this beach so you feel like you have a few miles of beach front to yourself!
Things to Do: Pelican Beach Caicos DreamTours Snorkel & Conch Cruise Long bay beach (kitesurfers & more shade) Local Casino Golf Scuba diving/snorkeling Fishing Restaurants: The Flamingo Cafe Las Brisas Turks Kebabs Coco Bistro (need a reservation in advance) All in all our stay was fantastic and hope to be back soon!!!

Mimi C. said... Paradise at the Villa Apr 4, 2016
Our two families celebrated Senior Spring break with our boys and a niece. There were 8 of us.The house was beautiful and very spacious. The furniture and decor were unbelievable knowing that everything had to be shipped to the Island. I have stayed at other homes listed where the furniture, decor, and appliances were very outdated. Almost every room had it's own bathroom so the house was set up like individual suites. Backyard with the pool and dining area was also very spacious. Great place to spend time when we weren't at the beach. The house was very clean and the beds were comfortable. Kitchen fully equipped and separate laundry with washer and dryer. Air conditioning units cooled rooms down really quickly. Pelican beach very private and really only a 5 minute walk from the house. Everything provided at the house, you only really needed your bathing suits and clothes. Robert very friendly and helpful. Restaurants can be on the expensive side and if you cook meals food and drink at the grocery stores can also get pricey. Stick with the local beer. Excursions are wonderful but also were expensive. We did ATV with Froggy's, Sail Beluga with Captain Nick, Eco Kayak tour with Big Blue Unlimited, Kitesurfing with TCK Kitesurfing and an all day boat snorkeling conch cruise with Caico Dream tours. The beaches and water are like no other in the world. People are extremely friendly. I would return to T & C and definitely stay at Villa Tropica again. Owner Dany always answered my e-mails within 24 hours and price point for this house compared to other properties on the island very reasonable. I felt my money was well spent. Wonderful vacation for our families! So glad we did not do an all inclusive with multiple families.

My Response
Mimi thank you very much for your wonderful comments. We personally travel a lot and for us, the beaches are among the finest in the world. I'm glad you found that people of the island are extremely kind and attentive. Tourism is taken extremely seriously by all islanders, making it one of the safest destinations of the Caribbean if not the safest.
MaryAnn S. said... Amazing Vacation Apr 19, 2016
We had a wonderful time in Turks and Caicos staying at Villa Tropica. We vacationed with another family, so there were 4 adults and 4 kids under the age of 10. The Villa has 4 bedrooms, 1 king and the other 3 rooms had queen beds. The master had a very large bathroom and closet. One of the queen rooms had a good size bathroom and the final 2 bedrooms shared a bathroom with double sinks. The Villa is very large and spacious. We had plenty of room. The kitchen was very nice and we ate breakfast in every morning. There was a large laundry room with a washer and dryer that we used daily. The outside was the best part, there was a large patio with a large table and chairs. We ate out there most mornings. There was also a covered seating area with a couch and chairs. There was a grill and we cooked in for dinner and lunch a few times. The restaurants can be expensive so it was a nice option to cook in. The pool was amazing. It was a good size and our kids were in the pool every minute. We were surrounded by palm trees and it felt very private. The location is great, just a few minutes walk to a beautiful beach. I would recommend renting a car, as we explored so many other beaches and areas of the island. Dany provided beach chairs, coolers, umbrella's and beach towels. It was perfect! There is a grocery store about 2 miles away, the location of the villa is fantastic. I read in one review suggesting new kitchen knives, and I would agree. But other than that the kitchen had everything you needed. It was my daughter's birthday and there was even a cake pan so I was able to bake her a cake. I would also suggest having 1 bedroom with 2 beds. Traveling with 4 kids for a week and having them share a bed wasn't the easiest. We did bring single/twin air mattresses that fit perfectly in 2 of the rooms. Each room also had it's own AC unit and the rooms cooled down very quickly. The main part of the house also had and AC unit which we used a few times just to cool down. We turned on the AC in the bedrooms every night and it was great. We had such an amazing trip and loved the Villa and wouldn't hesitate to stay there again!

Terri L. said... A special week spent at Villa Tropica.... Apr 26, 2016
In the fall of 2014 we asked our parents what they would like to do to celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary in April of 2016 as all of us "kids" are spread out across Canada. My parents said a family vacation and the planning started from there. Over the next month or so we narrowed down our choice to Turks and Caicos Islands. I came across Dany and Lucie's listing for Villa Tropica and knew we had found the perfect place. I spent months emailing back and forth with Lucie and Dany and they were always quick to reply and guide me in the right direction.We went ahead and put our deposit down in Dec. 2014 for our specific week in April 2016.We were a group of 8 ranging in age from 47-74 . Upon our arrival at the villa we were greeted by Robert the property manager and Nicole the housekeeper as we had made arrangements for Nicole to prepare some food for us upon our arrival until we had time to get to the grocery store. Our meal of jerk chicken, mixed salad and a fruit plate along with some cold bottles of water was perfect. The jerk chicken was so good that we talked about it for days and family members kept asking if there were any leftovers. The home was extemely clean and the furniture and the decor were beautiful. All of our family members loved their rooms. The gardens and grounds were beautiful and if we weren't at the beach we were in the pool or enjoying all the outdoor sitting areas. The beds were extremely comfortable and the kitchen was well equipped. We used Provo Connections for all of our transporation needs while on the island and they helped make our week spectacular. We walked to the beach multiple times a day and the provided bicycles were also used. We wanted to do something special to celebrate my parents anniversary so Dany and Lucie put us in touch with private chef Mark Clayton. We emailed back and forth for months and got to chose our special menu. Our dinner was spectacular that we had in the formal dining room. Chef Mark cooked for us and his wonderful wife Cady served the meal to us. We had a very special week together and are hoping to return sometime soon as Villa Tropica exceded our expectations. Robert was wonderful to deal with.He even went out of his way to lend us his crystal wine glasses for our special dinner as the villa only had three assorted ones to use. I would highly recommend Villa Tropica to anyone looking for a quite relaxing place to stay as a larger group.

CJ S said... AMAZING VACATION IN A BEAUTIFUL VILLA Mar 26, 2016
We had a wonderful vacation and our family of 7 ranging from age 3 – 73 loved this villa. We had everything we needed to make this an amazing vacation. By far our favorite "go to" place out of the entire property was the backyard, it was so private and comfortable that it was an amazing gathering spot for everyone. There are so many amazing things posted about this villa that I will share some different info about the island that might help you decide to book this listing. T&C is a great island and we realized that food would be a bit expensive, our group consisted of some very good/creative cooks so we enjoyed the challenge of having most meals at the villa. Close to the airport is a very small chicken place called Sweet Ts and it is very popular with the locals. You can get 2 styrofoam containers of good fried chicken for $10 we added sides. Just make sure you read the reviews on TripAdvisor for details on ordering. Also close to the airport you will find a little red pickup truck that sells seafood, we made sure that we visited the island during lobster season and we ate lobster almost every day. During one trip to the truck we bought 18 tails for $90, yum. Turks Head beer is cheaper by the case if you purchase at the brewery. The IGA was a great place to do the initial shopping and can find some good deals if you are with some creative cooks (ex. package of two very thick bone in pork chops was about $6.00) these were amazing on the grill and actually we had to go back for more. TCI food tour was a wonderful way to spend 3 hours getting history of the island and sampling some amazing island food, just schedule your tour before you leave home so that it is early in your trip and have time to revisit your favorite places. Snorkeling at Coral Gardens was great, a few people had to get gear and at Dive Provo it was only $15.00 for a 24 hour timeframe for a full set. Honestly between the pool, the amazing beaches, great food, great drink…… we were happy happy! Robert was wonderful to work with, when you meet him on your first day be prepared with a map from the airport and a list of things you might want to check out, he will mark them off on your map (which is lacking a lot of detail including street names). This was a huge help and saved us a ton of time. A couple housekeeping suggestions might be to update the bed pillows and replace/sharpen the kitchen knives, either way I would not hesitate to visit again!

I'm surprised at the number of great food places that you found on the island in one week. Wow, 18 lobster tails for $ 90 and $ 10 for fried chicken are excellent price. You can eat very well at reasonable prices if you pay attention. We are very glad you enjoyed the Palm Gardens. We are working very hard to keep them among the most beautiful gardens of Leeward.
We have a cargo that arrives on the island shortly with many things including new blades and new pillows. Your comments are much appreciated and helps us better serve you. Many Tanks again, Dany, Lucie and Villa Tropica Team !
Rob said... THIS IS PARADISE, March 1, 2016
Our extended family of 8 (2 grandparents, 4 adult children/spouses, 2 grandkids (ages 4 yrs and 14 mos)) stayed at Villa Tropica for 10 days in early February, 2015 and could not have had a more enjoyable or relaxing week in the Caicos. For our purposes, the the Villa's expansive and very private and secure-feeling property, the home's layout, and its location in Leeward were absolutely perfect, and options for fun and adventure were never more than a short walk or bike ride away away to keep the young and young-at-heart entertained every day.
The location is a shade north of the downtown Grace Bay area (most restaurants, etc), which means cooking in the Villa's beautiful kitchen and eating on the patio are most convenient. The quiet location also means you can have the beautiful and seemingly endless white strand of Pelican Beach to yourselves.
We spent our days relaxing by the pool, playing around on the large, large property, and at one of two wonderful and easily accessible beaches: the aforementioned Pelican Beach, and the seclusion of the nearly-hidden estuary canal beach where the kids can play and splash to their hearts' delight in the calm, sun-kissed waters.
Pretty great snorkeling and shelling there too! The indefatigable Charlene Escoe can point you in the right direction; you'll only find it if you know where to look!
Come nightfall, you'll need to make your own fun -- I recommend Bambarra rum punch, the pool lights set to party mode, and some island riddims from the boombox (which, along with wi-fi and the condition of the bicycles at the house could stand to be upgraded -- and quite possibly has been in the intervening year).
A parting word about Charlene Escoe: she is the warmest and friendliest person on the island -- on an island of warm, friendly people no less! -- and a wonderful ambassador for the property and Provo in general. She has wonderful recommendations for every type of traveler, including those sunseeking homebodies like us.
Out of our many visits to various destinations in the tropics, Villa Tropica remains the gold standard. Bar none. For context, our same group spent last week on the beach in Bonita Springs, FL, but here I am today finally writing about Villa Tropica -- my memory always brings me back to the Caicos.
David C. said... Great - I am coming back ASAP - Jan 21, 2016
WOW! What an excellent experience. We rented the house with 5 couples. House is amazing and a perfect fit for us with 5 large bedrooms with plenty of space. The kitchen and outdoor space was heavily used by all of our guests. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you need. In our group, we a culinary genius in the group so the kitchen was used 5 of the 7 nights we were there. Grocery store was not a problem to get to. A rental car is a must! Most of our days started with a cup of coffee and then a short walk to our almost private beach. I have traveled to many islands in my vacationing career and I have to say, the beach was the best beach I have ever been too. Water is crystal clear and the sand is pillow soft (I know? I took a few afternoon naps on it). Only thing I would change is the duration of my stay. It went way too quick. Don?t make a mistake rental anything else in the leeward area. This house has everything you need and more. Dany was a top-notch in handling the reservation, questions, and superb service. Robert was fantastic throughout the whole trip. We had a few issues where we needed his help and he was there in the blink of an eye. He went above and beyond his call of duty. Welcomed us with beers on our arrival! The uncontrollable negatives but important to note: ? The airline lost 3 of our bags and we did not receive them for over 24 hours. We can thank Newark International Airport for that one. ? The first few nights of the trip, the mosquitoes in the private garden took a toll on a few guest legs. Bug spray is a must if you often get bit. ? We had trouble keeping the fridge and freeze cold ? with 10 people going in and out of it.

Hi David, it has been a real pleasure to welcome you and your party at Villa Tropica. I am happy that you have enjoyed Pelican Beach, it is a world-class beach for his shallow water and his crystal clear turquoise water. I took a note, next time your party come back I will make sure to add a dedicated fridge for your beer.
Emily M. said... Amazing villa for the whole family - Feb 25, 2016
We are a family of 8, including two children, who stayed at the amazing Villa Tropica for a week. We could not have asked for a more relaxing vacation! The minute we walked into the house we were immediately blown away by all of the amenities. The pool was lovely, there were enough floaties for the whole family and a great spot to do morning yoga. We enjoyed cooking meals in the open and airy kitchen and utilized the grill multiple times. We even grilled a whole local fish we purchased at the Turks and Caicos famous red truck. Our 3-year old loved the game room and could not get enough of the beach. The location was perfect for our group - close to supermarkets and to one of our favorite restaurants, Coco Bistro. We would highly recommend this property and cannot wait to come back next year.

Villa Tropica is a real experience of staying in a luxury home at an affordable price. We are happy that you had a great family vacation and enjoy the pool and the beach ! Warm Island Regards Dany & Lucie
Sandra W. Said a beautiful spot in paradise January 4, 2016
We just returned from a fantastic vacation on Turks and Caicos! My husband and I were celebrating our 50th wedding anniversary with our children and grandchildren. Villa Tropica was the perfect spot! We could walk to beautiful Pelican Beach and relax by the pool. There was plenty of space for all of us and having the Property Manager next door was an added bonus. I would definitely come here again.
My Response
Thank you so much Sandra for your good words. I am happy that you and your family have enjoyed Pelican Beach. I really hope that life will allow us to also celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary at Villa Tropica. Congratulations to you and your husband!
Beth said... Awesome house, Awesome experience December 13, 2015
This is a beautiful residence, well laid out so it is easy to enjoy the house and outside with multiple people. We came for two 50th birthday party celebrations with six women and it worked out well for us. The pool was fabulous to enjoy, including lots of floaty devices and lounge chairs and we made sure to take advantage of the hammock. Morning breakfasts under the pergola were perfect. We had one rainy day at the end of our week and chose to enjoy the movies and games offered. The bikes were a plus to see some of the local area. The Pelican Beach and the ocean is so close (3 blocks) and many times we were almost the only people in sight. We enjoyed the morning sunrises, and evening ocean swims, along with the ability to collect lots of beautiful shells, including conch shells. All six of us would highly recommend this place. Robert, the house manager was wonderful as well, making sure we had what we needed and helping us out when needed. His personality is a joy to be around. Can't say enough good things about this house - very clean, sheets are high quality and beds are very comfortable so sleeping was luxurious, kitchen is well stocked with equipment and spices which made cooking breakfasts and lunches easy, great seating for meals as well as for hanging out. Location is a little secluded, but the security area where you enter and exit along with the gate to the house make you feel safe. We can't wait to return. Nothing that would stop me from highly recommending this place, but be aware that the house is outside of the 'tourist' area. This worked well for us because it provided the quiet and peace we were looking for, but you'd want to know that to make accommodations of either a car or know that you'll be paying for taxi's to come and go. We chose the taxi route (Gray's Taxi is outstanding) so we spent lots of time enjoying the house and ocean nearby and only left for dinners and a few outings. We were forewarned about the no-see-ums and bugs, and ended up with bites, but the house provides spray to assist you with this issue. Small things to just be aware of but again, nothing that stops the enjoyment of this place, it's location and the island.
Kate H. Said Dream House! November 12th, 2015
Where to start?! This house was absolutely perfect for our group of 5 couples! We could have gone with a cheaper house closer to the beach, but I have NO regrets about going with Villa Tropica. What I specifically LOVED about this house:
-All the rooms were spacious, tastefully decorated and immaculately clean.
-AMAZING outdoor area with an equally amazing pool. When I wasn't floating in the nearby ocean, I spent my time floating in the pool (day and night!) Tons of toys/rafts/tubes available. Yes, there are bugs, but my trick was to spend as much time in the water as possible. And used Saywer's lotion bug dope..seemed to work the best. Oh, and we left behind oil for the tiki torches which seemed to also help with the bugs. -Near the beach. Yes, it's a short (5-10min) walk but there are bikes available and let's be real...walking to the beach was our only form of exercise on this trip so it was probably a good thing.
-THE BEACH! We ventured out one day to explore the island and couldn't wait to get back to our beach. The other (shallower) beaches might be better for families with kids, but we LOVED only having to walk out a few meters to be up to our chests.
-Well stocked pantry full of spices. We brought a bunch of our own food essentials since we knew they would expensive. We mostly drank local beer and rum and hit up duty-free on the way down.
-Fully equipped kitchen to meet all of our cooking needs
-Washer/Dryer available for salty and sweaty clothes (bring detergent!)
-Totally safe. The island seemed a bit seedy driving beyond the airport, but once we got to Leeward, it was a totally different feel. The house is equipped with a safe and an alarm system. We never once felt unsafe. Wait...except riding in a car on the wrong side of the road...that took some time to get used to!
-Wifi worked perfectly, with no issues of being slow
-Nearby stores, restaurants and touristy areas. We did, however, end up renting a car just because we were on vacation and feeling lazy. We probably could have done without it, but taxis would have cost just as much ($20 per person from the airport to leeward) and the walk to the grocery store would have been a BIT too far in 85 degree/95% humidity weather.
-Dany was great to work with. I was super nervous about sending a HUGE payment off to someone I had never met, but I called him and I can assure you that he's a real person :) Overall, I HIGHLY recommend this house and would be happy to give a referral!

Thank you Kate first for choosing to stay at Villa Tropica and also for your great review, we truly appreciate it. I am delighted that you took advantage of the outdoor space, the beaches and spaciousness of the villa. I will be sure to save you your coconut water on your next visit. Thank you for your kind compliments. See you soon. All our best, Dany, Lucie, Robert and Nicky !
Katie Said...Best VACATION EVER, Oct 19,2015
Our stay at this villa could not have been better. The entire house is gorgeous and so well decorated. It feels like home. The pool is amazing and the location is great - right near a grocery store! Robert, the house manager welcomed us with cold beers and went over the details and best places to eat.
The beach is such a short walk and it's absolutely stunning. I didn't want to leave. Every moment exceeded any expectation I had. I can't wait to go back!
Dave F. said Absolutely Fantastic!! Sep 1, 2015
My wife and I frequent the Turks and Caicos islands and just love them. This year we decided to bring a few other couples with us to experience the same joy we do. We found Villa Tropica after searching online for some time and decided to stay there. I am glad we did. From the warm welcome we received upon arrival to the friendship we created during our stay, Villa Tropica did not disappoint. The villa is absolutely gorgeous and wonderfully decorated along with plenty of space in all rooms. Ample space around the pool is suitable for multiple guest, large eating area outside is great for morning breakfast and a hammock round out this beautifully landscaped property. The manager was always very pleasant and addressed every request we had-even at a moments notice. We booked a couple of excursions through Caicos Adventures and enjoyed a fair discount as well-this was very nice. The villa was a true hit. When asked by others if we would recommend, our response has always been and always will be 'In a Heartbeat!'. Now if I can only get them to hire me as the Pool Boy, I could be there all the time! Thank you for helping us create a memory of a lifetime. Thank you Robert, thank you Dany and thank you Villa Tropica!

It has been a real pleasure for us to welcome you and your guests at Villa Tropica. We hope to see you again. I am taking a good note for your offer to be our pool boy !
Angie L. said... - Awesome Stay!! - 2015-04-26
We stayed here with 11 adults and 2 children and had a great time! The pool was a hit with everyone and the large outdoor areas were great for dining or just relaxing. The kitchen is well equipped and the bedrooms were comfortable.
The house was very clean and we would definitely stay here again. The location is also great being close to restaurants and beaches. The house also provided ample floats and toys for the kids and the bikes were nice as well. After a long day at the beach or pool, having the Roku was also a treat. Thank you so much for letting us stay at your beautiful home!

Amanda said... - Fantastic Property - 2015-04-10
We really enjoyed our stay. Our group included 2 families of 4 (siblings) and our parents. Our children's ages were 6, 4, 3 & 1. Our trip started off great, the property manager had an escort at the airport for us to follow to the property. We rented a car, which I recommend, the property is not within quick walking distance to any stores. We were very impressed upon arrival. The house is beautiful, the yard is great. There is so much space for large groups/families.
The kids had a blast in the pool and the yard, the yard appears to be the best in the area, it is completely landscaped and mature and secure. The pool is clean and larger that I expected, the owner had gates installed prior to our arrival which was great for us since we had small children. We found the bed and bedding to be very comfortable, the kitchen is very well stocked, the furniture is beautiful and comfortable. The bikes are great for cruising.
There are beach chairs, umbrellas, beach toys (we left more behind as well), pool toys, comfortable out door furniture. The beach was a short walk and very beautiful of course. If you have small children I recommend going to Sapodilla Bay, it is so beautiful, shallow and quiet, really worth the time to go.
We also took in the Thursday night fish fry, we really enjoyed the food, it gets busy so I recommend to go early! We found groceries very expensive, we are Canadian and used to spending $ on groceries and alcohol but it was a significant amount more than we are used to. I recommend taking advantage of duty free if you drink! We also left behind a placement drink menu that one of us made so if its still there try some of the drinks, Margaritas always make it more fun!! The only draw back, which is not property specific, is the bug bites we received in the evening, our family is prone to getting bit, they like us. We didn't see many bugs so it wasn't irritating but we got silently bit! If you choose this property I don't think you will be disappointed, we have done a significant amount of travel and we would return.
Owner response
Thank you so much for your good comments. We are happy that you enjoyed your 3 weeks stay with us at Villa Tropica. We are glad that you have discovered and explored our beautiful beaches with their shallow turquoise waters. You got silently bitten by what we call noseeum. You usually simply apply a gentle cream or light spray at sunset and voilà , you can enjoy a relaxing evening in the palms gardens. We look forward to welcome you and your family again !
Lisa P. said... - Perfect Relaxing Family Getaway - 2015-03-14
We loved every minute of our stay at Villa Tropica. The outdoor gardens and pool are immaculate and private. The home was equally gorgeous and well-equipped with everything you'd need to enjoy the beach or cooking BBQs/meals.
Pelican Beach was within a 5min walk of the house, and was the most beautiful beach we visited on the island. The service from Dany and Charlene was exceptional - very quick and responsive to our questions/needs.
We would highly recommend Villa Tropica to any family traveling with young children looking for some peace and quiet, in a beautiful tropical oasis. We hope to visit again soon.
Owner Response:
Thank you so much for your review. We are glad you loved you stay at Villa Tropica. The intimate backyard palm gardens provide an oasis for relaxation and dining under the stars. Pelican beach and Grace Bay beach are home to the Best Beach in the World !
Hopefully we will see you again for your next trip. Dany & Lucie, Charlene.
Nicole G. - Great spot. Agree with all the positive reviews here - 2015-02-28
First time visitors to TCI from Canada. 6 adults (31 to 65) 3 kids (15mo to 5yo) visiting Feb 2015 -Home suited us very well. Lots of space, very comfortable and very clean as mentioned. -great pool, very lush landscaping contributing to a private feel, nice outdoor seating/ dining table -4 bikes (3 adult) , beach chairs, toys for kids....such a nice touch. -kitchen was very nice, very well equipped as advertised and they even have a good selection of spices too. -BBQ is there too which we used twice for family meals at the house. -beach was awesome. probably a 5-10 minute walk to the closest point.
you could walk either direction. we were very surprised that the beaches were NOT busy, but then again you're not in a resort area until you start walking a ways west down the beach! -for making your OWN food you can go to the Marina (
Meghan C. said... - Villa Tropica -2015-01-10
he pictures do not do this home justice. It is beautiful and very comfortable. We were a group of 6 adults and a 1.5 year old. We had tons of space and our two week stay was fantastic.
The owners and property manager were very helpful and always quick to get back to us. The property is clean, private and quiet. Leeward Beach is a couple of blocks away and worth the walk! It was even more beautiful than Grace Bay where the hotels and resorts are located. A car is necessary if staying here as groceries and restaurants are a couple of miles away. I would definitely recommend this home to friends and family. The only downside to staying here was there were ants...just be sure to put everything sealed away or in the fridge and they won't bother you.
Turks and Caicos is pricey...however there are NO crowds, nobody selling things on the beach and the beaches are the most beautiful I've seen. With next to no one on them.

JRGV1979 Boston - 'Beautiful home in perfect location' 2015-01-10
This was our 2nd trip to Providenciales and our 1st experience renting a private residence. Booking was very easy and the owner was very quick to respond to any questions we had leading up to our trip. The property is in a beautiful & quiet community. Charlene the property manager was always quick to answer her phone for any of our needs during our stay. There was some construction in the area during the day which we were aware of but it did not disturb our vacation at all. The beach is pristine and amazing!! Great for families or those just looking for some peace & quiet. We were a group of 6 adults and a 22 month old child so it was necessary to take our rental car to the beach which takes only a minute to drive to.
The villa is very spacious with plenty of room for a large group. Furnishings definitely exceeded our expectations and were very comfortable. The library/TV room was our favorite room to relax in at night. We had Chef Mark Clayton come and do a private dinner for us which was one of the highlights of our stay. The garden & pool area is beautifully designed and wonderful to enjoy when not at the beach.
The island is small so everything is close but this home is in a perfect location relevant to Grace Bay, grocery stores, and the prime dining spots. We can't wait to return to Provo again soon.
Marjorie - Beautiful Villa - 2014-12-23
It was my families second time at Villa Tropica. We were a group of 6 and 8 at some point and the villa was just perfect. It offers lots of space indoors to relax, kick back and enjoy. The gardens around the LARGE pool (with synchronized lights) is beautiful. There is a hammock for two spread between and under the palm trees. The owner has added a pergola over the outdoor dining area which seats 6 to 8 people comfortably. There is also a small cushioned love seat and 2 chairs in the shade to relax.
There is a large deck next to pool for sunbathing. The garden surrounding the pool is magnificent. We loved having the 2 adult bikes to take to the beach which is very close to the villa. No hotels to block your view just beautiful stretches of beach await you.
Charlene, the manager, is available everyday and takes care of all your needs. She is wonderful and very responsive. Nikki, the housekeeper, is just darling. You can even make arrangements with her to come and cook for you. We made several dinners and the kitchen has all you need to prepare a meal.
This is a beautiful home and wonderful for a large group of friends or family. The owner has made some new improvements and continues to do so but everything is just perfect. You will definitely enjoy your stay and all concerned see that you do exactly that.
Oh if anyone golfs the golf course is just a 5 minute drive away. Grocery store is just 8 minutes away.
Anna B. - Villa Tropica Magnificent Home - 2014-12-16
Villa Tropica was a wonderful home with high end furnishings and a great layout. We were an extended family of 11, to include 6 adults 2 teens and 3 kids age 8-12 years. We all had a wonderful time with plenty of space to spread out. The grounds were well maintained with plenty of space with sun and shade areas and a lot of privacy. The boys especially liked the game room and swimming in the chromatic pool at night. The beach is within walking distance and the home supplied enough chairs, coolers and umbrellas to accommodate everyone. We often loaded one car with all supplies, then walked down. I would recommend a car to get to/ from restaurants grocery, shopping, snorkeling reefs and just for exploring the island. All in all a wonderful home and vacation island I would recommend to anyone.

Hi Anna, We are glad that your familly enjoyed your stay at Villa Tropica. The team works very hard to make sure that every guest have a wonderful vacation. Happy and healthy New year to you and your familly, Dany & Lucie
Jacquie H. - Great vacations! - 2014-08-03
First, Turks & Caicos is a paradise. And we are very glad to have chosen a villa instead of a resort. This villa, particularly. Well-maintained, air-conditioning in every rooms, magnificent gardens, a large deck near the pool. A quiet site where to rest.
The villa is bigger than what it looks like on the pictures. Really beautiful and the manager gave us an excellent service and recommendations. We enjoyed the Fish Fry, a local beach party, and the Boogaloos restaurant, if you want to try the specialty of the place, the conk. I went with family and want to go back with friends.
Bryan T. - My new favorite island!!! Not to mention a terrific - 2014-07-02
This was our first time visiting Turks & Caicos and I have to say that it was an extremely impressive experience. We were a group of 5 adults and 4 kids ranging from 15 months to 7 years old and this home suited us perfectly.
I can tell that the pictures of the home do not due it justice as it is even more beatiful in person. In a word: Immaculate. First of all the home was amazingly clean. I mean spotless. The furnishings are all in great taste and of superior quality. Nothing about this home feels cheap or out of place. The Beds were very comfortable, the linens were excellent, beach towels were there, clean and ready to use the second we arrived.
After traveling with young children it was relief not to have to worry about the house. The gated community and gated property felt very secure and safe. The pool and property outside was just as impressive as the inside. My entire group cannot wait to get back there. The home has a resort like feel with all the privacy you could ever want.
The negatives are so minor they are hardly worth mentioning: there are mosquitos on a tropical island in July, no suprises there. Some in my party were more susceptible than others, but by and large if you use spray you will be fine. There are quite a few dogs in the area (all nice and most with collars) but they can be heard barking at night sometimes.
We loved the neighborhood and the proximity to the beach (i timed it: 38 seconds drive, and thats with the circle and the speed bump).. We always felt close to everything. We explored the entire island and loved every part of it.
The restaurants are superb, the kids loved the Conch Farm and every beach was nicer than the last, truly some of the nicest white sand beaches I have ever seen and they were NEVER crowded. We all universally loved Villa Tropica and cannot wait to stay there again..
Owner's Response: Thank you so much for spending your precious vacation with us at Villa Tropica and for exploring our island. Timing the drive from the villa to the beach at 0.38 seconds, amazing! We strive to ensure all our guests feel at home in a clean, secure and relaxing environment. We look forward to welcoming you and your friends back to island vacation rental, Villa Tropica in Leeward - Providenciales, Turks and Caicos
Lynnette J. - 30th BDay Celebration!! - 2014-06-10
We took this trip on June 10-15 and as always I'm nervous about renting vacation home because you never know what to expected.
But I must say the pictures did this home no justice at all. It was very clean and it had everything you needed while you were there. I had a great time staying in this vacation home.
It was absolutely beautiful and I must say the view definitely went with the Island. I can't wait to come back and I will definitely be recommending this home to someone else!

Suzanne B - Best Vacation EVER ! - 2014-04-05
I scheduled this vacation far in advance to ensure availability of the house as well as make sure all my grown kids could come. This was a family vacation (6 of us) that was a long time in coming and I especially wanted to create life time memories for us all.
This was the first trip we had all taken together as adults! It was so awesome and totally worth it! The house was wonderful, and as said before, is exactly as described. The entire staff is warm, friendly and attentive.
Charlene was the perfect host, and addressed any needs as soon as they came up. We loved the housekeeper, Nicki! The landscape/pool 'guy' must have toiled for 12 hours getting the area ship shape (in an already idyllic garden). Having that pool all to ourselves really made the day after long hours in the sun.
The beach is just breathtaking and right around the corner. I wish I could have stayed forever....these are memories for a lifetime.

Owner's Response: Staying at Villa Tropica is a true experience of staying in a luxury home at an affordable price. We want you to have extra to spend on seeing the island, exploring our beautiful beaches and cays, eating in most of our over 65 restaurants but most of all, spending time with family and friends.

Thank you for spending time with us and we look forward to welcoming you once again to our Island home.
Suzie Y. - Absolutely Spectacular! 5 Stars!! -2014-01-20
Everything about Villa Tropica was absolutely perfect! We were in town for a family vacation and we were a very large group (11 people including 2 young children ages 1 and 3 years old). We could not have imagined a better experience! We searched diligently for a house that would accommodate the entire family comfortably and I am so thrilled we decided on Villa Tropica.
The house is beautifully decorated and is large enough to fit a huge party none of us ever felt crowded at all. The photos do not do this home justice! It has a great layout and everyone had plenty of space. The pool and entire outdoor garden is incredible. It is huge and every day we would discover something new out there; The adorable hammock, the walkway around the garden, the outdoor grill and dining area, even an outdoor living room ! The villa is secluded (fence, gate and trees) and is in one of the most convenient locations! We were within walking distance to the most beautiful beach any of us had ever seen.
It is secluded so we pretty much had the entire beach to ourselves. I would recommend renting a car to get into town or explore the island since taxis can get a bit pricey. The house is fully equipped with EVERYTHING. Even a garage full of bicycles, beach chairs, toys and sand castle stuff for the kids they loved it ! We couldn't have planned for a more perfect destination.
The broker, Charlene, was extremely helpful, friendly, and professional. She is excellent and made sure we had everything we needed. We will definitely be back!!
Owner's Response: Thank you kindly for your review of Villa Tropica, we are delighted that you had a great family vacation and very happy that all felt at home, comfortable and enjoyed the beach! See I told you it was the best beach in Provo :) I hope to see you when next you travel and take advantage of our special repeat guest discount and treats. See you soon. All our best, Charlene, Dany & Lucy
Jeff - One more thing - 2014-01-03
One of the young ladies, Nicole, who was cleaning the villa has been truly extraordinary in helping us out with our arrangements to get to the airport tomorrow morning for a 7AM flight. We needed to be picked up at the villa no later than 4:45AM and the taxi driver was just unable to understand what we were asking.
She has taken it upon herself to be our travel agent, calling the driver, confirming the time and pick up and amount of luggage and on top of that giving us a 4:30 wake up call. She deserves the highest recognition for above and beyond assistance.
France H. - Our best vacation - 2013-12-15
Wonderful stay in an enchanting environment. The palm garden is wonderfull and the pool is beautiful. The villa was spotlessly clean and fully equipped with hotel amenities. We appreciated our bike rides.
The beach is very close at walking distance. We went snorkeling almost every day at the beach near the villa, without having to travel by car. It was absolutely perfect. There are also other beautiful dive sites a little further away. I would recommend this villa to everyone, we will definitively return.
Darrell C. - Great location, amazing house - 2013-12-06
This was a beautiful private villa! The villa had everything in it that you need! Bikes, play toys for the kids, full kitchen ( excluding food) etc..The Villa was only minutes away from a gorgeous beach and just a bike ride away to Blue Haven resort which there was lots of different activities and shopping near by.
The house was a great location! It is a quick bike / drive from town, the golf course, restaurants, shopping and just minutes away by walking to beautiful private beaches!
The only down side we had when we were there was 4/7 of us got bit bad by some of the mosquitoes. So make sure you pack some bug repellant and after- bite as well! Over all the villa is a place you can call home for the week, definitely recommended!
Owner's Response: Thank you for your review and I am happy you loved staying at Villa Tropica. Sorry to hear about the bites and it is a good suggestion to pack spray especially for days when the wind is still. The screens on the windows and the doors also offer protection when indoors. I hope to welcome you again to our little Paradise and be one of our Repeat Guest Program.
Melissa T. - My first trip to Caribbean- Perfect !!! - 2013-07-24
First and foremost, this was my first trip to the Caribbean ever and I couldn't have planned a more perfect destination birthday party without the help of Charlene Escoe! She is an excellent broker and source of knowledge for local information (including private chef services and snorkeling trips).
I searched for the perfect beach house that would accommodate 6 friends who were flying in from all over the US and this house was amazing! The house is beautifully decorated both with comfortable furniture and local artistic accents. It has a great layout and everyone had their own space and both inside and outdoors with a poolside dining table and lounge chairs. We used the chef services that Charlene coordinated for my actual birthday dinner and it was absolutely delicious. The dinner received rave reviews from our foodie crowd, some who hailed from NYC and San Francisco. We also had a couple of self-proclaimed chefs in the group who found their way around a huge kitchen that came equipped with everything you could possibly need to serve up everything from brunch to dinner.
It was nice to have the barbeque as well when we wanted to dine outdoors poolside. The house was perfect for our group of 6 who ranged in ages from late 20s, 30s and 40s and so comfortable for lounging or formal dining. The bicycles were a great hit for morning bike rides and the laundry room was great to clean up after our daily beach trips. This truly was the most perfect house for our needs and everyone is determined to make it an annual trip.
The nearby beach was virtually secluded and so beautiful. We felt like it was our very own private beach every day we were there. We will definitely come back and have already asked Charlene to provide information for our next trip !
Florida Girl - My best Vacation yet - 2013-02-13
Charlene (the manager) is a jewel; I have never had a more personable and professional orientation for a vacation in my life. Everything she did from the first day to even after we left -- was wonderful. Having such top quality talent meet, greet and handle guests so competently made everything all the more enjoyable.
Martin C. (Toronto, Canada) - Perfect !! - 2013-02-01
Our family of 8 stayed at Villa Tropica for a week in February 2013, including an 11 yr. old boy and a newborn baby. The house was perfect for our needs with a large open concept layout, and tons of outdoor space to lounge around. The large modern kitchen has everything you might need to prepare meals and snacks, and the 4 bedrooms have each have individually controlled air conditioning and en suite bathrooms.
The location is in the quiet neighborhood of Leeward at the far east corner of Providenciales Island. Although the property does have neighbors, the beautiful trees and landscaping make the yard feel secluded and private. The villa is only a minute to the beach (easily walkable) and about 5 min. to the tourist downtown with grocery store, restaurants, shopping, etc.
Charlene from the rental agency was great! She was very professional and responsive during the booking and planning prior to our arrival, and was very helpful once we got there too. In summary, Villa Tropica was perfect for us and we highly recommend it.
Owner's Response: Thank you Martin first for choosing to stay at Villa Tropica and also for your great review, we truly appreciate it. I am delighted that your family took advantage of the outdoor space, hammock, pool and loved the lush landscaping and spaciousness of the villa. I will be sure to save you your coconut water on your next visit. Thank you for your kind compliments also, it was my sincere pleasure being your host while here.

My family and I vacationed at Villa Tropica this March and I must say that we had a very relaxing, peaceful, fun-filled vacation. Many days were spent on the beach with is not so far away, we drove and sometimes jogged to Pelican Beach. This was not as crowded as Grace Bay Beach and we could be ourselves.
The rooms were clean and comfi, kitchen large and well appointed with modern stainless steel appliances and all you need to keep a family entertained...I was the designated cook. The privacy and the beautiful bouganvillea flowers, coconut trees, large palms, dont know their names made this our 'island paradise'. Our on island agent was the best, she told us of cool places to visit, things to do, restaurants and even arranged for us a Private Chef, Mark - the best food we had while there!
We rented a car and explored the island, the conch farm is close by and we took a day trip to North Caicos...off the beaten path. What we loved most about the house is the large kitchen and great outdoor space where we BBQ most days and the pool was a big hit with my parents.
There is so much we did not get to do so we will be back!!

March 3, 1944
WESSEL, DUVAL & CO., Inc., et al.
GRACE LINE, Inc.
When this case came on for trial before the court and a jury, after the jury had been selected counsel agreed that there was nothing for the jury to determine, that it might be discharged, and that the case be deemed tried by a jury of one subject to motions by counsel at the close of the case. At the same time, the second cause of action, as well as the second paragraph of the prayer for relief, were withdrawn, and the prayer was further amended so as to set out a demand for judgment for $ 213,393.88 with interest on $ 52,635.62 from May 1, 1940 and on $ 160,758.26 from August 1, 1940.
The complaint, as thus amended, seeks money damages for an alleged breach of a 'pooling agreement', dated May 19, 1937, as amended, under which the parties agreed to divide the gross earnings accruing to the vessel of each party out of its freight operations on all cargo originating in the United States, carried therefrom on a vessel of one of said parties, and destined for ports on the west coast of Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and Chile. It is alleged that operations under the agreement began on August 1, 1937, and each party had duly accounted for and paid to the other the sums owing up to and including January 31, 1940.
Recovery to the extent of $ 83,980.54 is sought for plaintiff's share of unpaid earnings between February 1 and April 30, 1940, during which it is claimed both parties had sailings within the agreement; and for an additional sum estimated at $ 195,000 for unpaid earnings alleged to have accrued between May 1 and July 31, 1940, from sailings of the defendant alone. It appears that at a pretrial conference, defendant conceded that there was due to the plaintiffs for the period from February 1 to April 9, 1940, $ 29,346.60 with interest, which it paid. Plaintiffs' demand was, therefore, amended as stated in the first paragraph.
The particular question of law involved is the construction of the agreement. Plaintiffs 'and any interest they may control', called the West Coast Line, and defendant, prior to the agreement, were competing in trade by water between the ports mentioned. They obviously desired to pool the revenues from their business between those ports and to declare that they would not directly or indirectly operate vessels between such ports other than as provided in the agreement. The particular clauses here in controversy provide
'Except as hereinafter provided, and except also for a tolerance of ten percent (10%) one way or the other, as the case may be, the Grace Line shall maintain fifty six (56) passenger and/or freighter sailings per annum, and the West Coast Line shall maintain twenty six (26) freighter sailings per annum, from ports on the Atlantic Coast of the United States to ports on the West Coast of Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and Chile.'
'All gross earnings accruing to each vessel of each party hereto out of its freight operations including port and landing charges, and surcharges, on all cargo originating in the United States, carried therefrom on a vessel of one of said parties, and destined for ports on the West Coast of Columbia, Ecuador, Peru, and Chile, shall be divided seventy five percent (75%) to the Grace Line and twenty five percent (25%) to the West Coast Line after deducting four dollars ($ 4.00) per revenue ton, except on motor cars and trucks on which this deduction shall be fifteen dollars ($ 15.00) per unit. The Grace Line and the West Coast Line agree to send their manifests and/or freight lists to each other as soon as practicable after each sailing in order to arrive at a settlement of these percentages, which settlements shall be made in cash at the end of each three month period. Should in future the trade here involved necessitate additional or larger vessels, seventy five percent (75%) of such additional tonnage shall be provided for by the Grace Line and twenty five percent (25%) thereof by the West Coast Line.'
The agreement further provided that if the Compania Chilena De Navegacion Interoceanica should become a party to the pooling agreement, it should receive, under certain circumstances, not more than 15% of the total pool, of which the Grace Line agreed to supply 75% and the West Coast Line 25%; and in the event that the Chilean company should withdraw entirely from service, the tonnage represented by it or its substitute, should be provided 75% by the Grace Line and 25% by the West Coast Line. It was also agreed that lines operating regular general cargo service with a frequency of not less than monthly departures from Chile and Peru to European ports via the Panama Canal, might become associates or members of the conference mentioned in the agreement. The agreement was to remain in force for a period of four years, and thereafter, unless either party gave six months' notice in writing to the other to terminate the same, except that either party would have the right to terminate after the agreement had been in force two and one-half years.
The particular event which precipitated this controversy was the invasion of Denmark by Germany on April 9, 1940, and the declaration of Great Britain and France shortly thereafter that they would seize all Danish vessels as prize. All of the plaintiffs' vessels sailed under the Danish flag, and on April 10 were ordered to proceed to neutral ports, and later, after discharging their cargoes, were immobilized. At the same time, plaintiffs' cancelled sailings under the pooling agreement of six of their vessels, which had been scheduled for April 12, 19, 26 and May 3, 10 and 17.
On April 29, 1940, defendant notified Wessel Duval and the Maritime Commission (by whom the pooling agreement, under the law, was required to and had been approved) that because of the occupation of Denmark and the inability of the Danish freighters to operate as per schedule, a major change had taken place affecting operations under the agreement, and that settlements thereunder would be stopped as of the sailing of defendant's S.S. Santa Ana on April 12, 1940.
On May 20, 1940, Wessel Duval chartered the S.S. Malantic, on June 12, 1940 the S.S. Wind Rush, and on July 6, 1940, the S.S. Carolyn, all with the consent of the Maritime Commission, and those ships sailed from North Atlantic ports to the same ports in South America as the other ships of the West Coast Line on June 9, June 30 and July 20, 1940. There were no sailings of the West Coast Line other than the three mentioned after the invasion of Denmark.
The Grace Line, however, continued its sailings between the ports mentioned in the pooling agreement, 23 being accomplished between April 5 and July 31, 1940.
The dispute really narrows down to whether or not under the agreement each party was bound to maintain substantially regular sailings, the plaintiffs bi-weekly and the defendant weekly. In other words, defendant contends that when the plaintiffs cancelled their weekly sailings in April and May, following the invasion, they breached their part of the agreement. Plaintiffs answer that they had already had 31 sailings in the year immediately preceding the invasion, and had complied with their part of the contract which required them to maintain 26 freighter sailings per annum; that the contract did not require them to have a regular schedule, and that any attempt to so construe the agreement would be writing into an unambiguous contract something upon which the parties had not agreed. The defendant replies that it was not contemplated that either party should stop operations for any part of the year, but that each should regularly draw its load in earning revenue for the common pool.
The divergence between the parties deals solely with questions of law and arises because plaintiffs contend that the pooling agreement is a definite and certain statement of the obligations of the parties, presenting no element of ambiguity and was duly performed. Defendant urges that the court should look at the surrounding circumstances to see what the parties have in fact said and to scan the performance under the agreement to see what the parties intended it to mean.
There seems to be no dispute but that the court may examine into the surrounding circumstances to ascertain the intent of the parties. Prior to the time the agreement became effective, the parties obviously were in competition. It seems fair to assume that they entered into the agreement to obviate some of the disagreeable or unfavorable features of that competition. During the year 1939, prior to the pooling, the West Coast Line had regular semi-monthly sailings from New York to the west coast of South America via the Panama Canal. The Grace Line scheduled weekly sailings over substantially the same course to the same ports. In June of 1937, shortly after the agreement had been signed but before its approval by the Maritime Commission and its effective operating date, the West Coast Line changed its advertisement to 'Regular fortnightly sailings', and that continued until the end of 1939.
Thus, prior to and at the inception of this agreement, both were operating regular sailings, and that fact, together with the tonnage represented by the vessels employed by each, and other factors arising from the conduct of their respective businesses, entered into the agreement as to the division of revenues. That the methods and regularity of sailings then in effect should be continued, except for a tolerance of 10% one way or the other, seems to me a fair and reasonable assumption. The requirement of 56 sailings per annum by the Grace Line obviously contemplated its weekly sailing schedule, and the 26 sailings to be maintained by plaintiffs contemplated the continuance of its bi-weekly schedule. It is not to be believed that there was to be any irregular earning of revenue by either; if it had been so contemplated, there would have been no provision for quarterly accountings. Nor is it to be believed that either party contemplated that the other would discontinue its previous practice and thus fail to contribute regularly its share to the pool. And to make sure that each pulled its weight, it was specifically provided that should the trade necessitate additional or larger vessels, the additional tonnage should be provided by both in the proportion in which they were to divide the revenue.
The conduct of the parties prior to and at the time of the execution of the agreement leads me inevitably to the conclusion that it was not contemplated that either would have duly performed all conditions and things under said pooling agreement (and that is plaintiffs' allegation as to its part) unless each continuously and regularly contributed its proportionate share of sailings and revenue so that at the end of each accounting period the proportion which they had contemplated and agreed should belong to each would have been earned by each. It was not intended that full performance on the part of the plaintiffs would have been accomplished if 26 sailings had taken place. It was intended that both should continue with further sailings when the cargo offerings would make possible an increase over the normal earnings. If this were not so, either would be at the mercy of the other, as is amply demonstrated in the present situation, where plaintiffs are seeking to recover 39% more than their total contribution to the pool, as will be hereafter shown.
This leads to the conclusion that the plaintiffs have failed to prove their cause of action, and that they are not entitled to recover any more than was due them when the defendant refused longer to make pool settlements by reason of the discontinuance and cancellation of sailings after April 12, 1940. This would seem to entitle plaintiffs to a recovery over and above the amount which was paid after the pretrial conference above referred to, according to the computation which follows. If the respective shares of the two parties are to be determined as of April 5, 1940, the last sailing before the plaintiffs' ships were immobilized, there was concededly due to plaintiffs $ 29,346.60, which has already been paid. However, this figure does not take into consideration the sailing of the Santa Ana on April 12, 1940, with which, it will be remembered was stated by the defendant in its letter to the Maritime Commission, further settlements under the agreement would be stopped. This would require a correction in the amount due to plaintiffs. From the exhibits in the case, the following result would be reached:
Defendant's total net revenue
for the 11th pool period to
and including April 5, 1940 $ 777,211.28
Add Santa Ana sailing
4/12/40 64,963.49
Total defendant's revenue 842,174.77
Add plaintiffs' revenue 219,954.39
Total $ 1,062,129.16
25% of which would be 265,532.29
Plaintiffs' revenue was 219,554.39
If my mathematics are
correct, there would then
have been due to plaintiffs
for the period when both
parties were operating 45,577.90
Paid 29,346.60
Leaving a balance of $ 16,231.30
which would be due
plaintiffs, with interest
from May 1st, 1940.
If the pooling agreement is to be practically construed by what the parties did under it, it is perfectly obvious that they intended that each should have regular sailings so that each would do its share in each three month period, at the end of which there was to be an accounting and distribution. They did so. Not only that, when cargo offerings were increased, each increased its sailings. That is particularly observable in the period subsequent to the commencement of the European war in September 1939. Up to that time they had been operating the defendant's weekly sailings and the plaintiffs' bi-weekly sailings. When the European war began, cargo offerings for the west coast of South America increased and both parties increased the number of their sailings, the West Coast Line advertising sailings weekly, and that frequency was continued until April 5, 1940. The Grace Line continued its schedule of weekly sailings during the entire period between August 1, 1937 and July 31, 1940, and largely increased those after the European war started, and particularly after the plaintiffs discontinued. Each party to the agreement concededly prior to April 9, 1940, put in sufficient tonnage from time to time to take care of whatever cargo was offered.
It is not questioned that it is difficult to build up a business on irregular sailings, and both sides obviously held out to the shippers a regular schedule. It is not to be assumed that either party intended that the revenue should be decreased; on the contrary, it is to be assumed that both hoped and intended that it would grow as the business developed. The agreement, as I have said, provided for a settlement at the end of each three months. The exhibits show how closely the parties had calculated the probable result of their regular operations. Summarized, they show between August 1, 1937, when the pooling began, and April 5, 1940, the last sailing before the invasion of Denmark:

75.44% 24.56%
This computation shows that over the entire period of their dealings, they so regulated their sailings that there was an overage on the part of Grace Line of only .44% of a gross revenue of $ 8,245.593.29.
If the remaining portion of the 11th pool period of April 30, 1940, and the 12th period to July 31, 1940, when obviously there was no usual joint operation, is to be considered, these results are revealed:
Defendant's revenue through
April 5, 1940 $ 777,211.28
From then to April 30, 1940 211,363.97
Total earned with 20 sailings 988,575.25
Plaintiffs' revenue at April 5,
1940 and April 30, 1940,
with 9 sailings 219,954.39
Total 1,208,529.64
Of which there would be due
to plaintiffs to equalize its
25% participation 82,178.02
And for the twelfth pool
period from May 1 to July
31, 1940, defendants' net
revenue with 19 sailngs was 989,272.89
Plaintiffs' with but 3 sailings
of June 9, 20 and July 20,
which apparently were
made to preserve plaintiffs'
membership in the
conference described in the
agreement 115,413.28
Total 1,104,686.17
25% of which would be $ 276,171.54
more than twice as much as
plaintiffs had contributed to
the pool, leaving due to
them in addition to their
contribution, $ 160,758.26
39% more than they had
Under the circumstances, therefore, I direct a verdict for the plaintiff in the sum of $ 16,231.30, with interest from May 1st, 1940. I have made findings of fact and conclusions of law, which will be filed herewith.

Character's Role: A sharp detective who knows the game and appreciates the police system. The Bunk is Jimmy McNulty's partner in the homicide unit, but he doesn't have Jimmy's same contempt for authority (or at least he doesn't act upon it). Throughout the series the Bunk does some of the best police work of almost any homicide detective in Baltimore's PD (save perhaps Lester Friedman).
Like his partner, Moreland also has indiscretions with women and trouble with alcoholism, but these appear minor when compared to the personal problems of his partner.
Bunk has a wife and 3 kids (who he amazingly pretends are the orphaned children of a murdered states witness when trying to force a written statement of guilt out of D'Angelo Barksdale).
Actor: Wendell Pierce, who is also starring in the new HBO show from David Simon called Treme.
Which Seasons: In The Wire Complete Series, seasons 1 - 5.
Best Scene: Bunk chatting with and scolding of Omar during season 3.
Best Foil / Rival: James "Jimmy" McNulty. Bunk is the more moral Jimmy McNulty (emphasis on the 'more') and he is a Jimmy McNulty who recognizes the chain of command. Perhaps not quite as sharp as Jimmy, Bunk exhibits a determination (as shown by the DNA analysis that he pursues from season 4 into 5) which allows him to to arrest one of the worst killers in the show.
Analysis: (see above)
