Three Mary Cays Villa is a unique compound. Property manager Regine Forbes was excellent, providing great communication before, during & after our stay. She met us at the dock in Sandy Point, carried some of our luggage to the car, showed us the way to the house, avoiding flooded roads, and generously led us to the small grocery in Whitby before closing time.
Caretaker Joseph was there as much or as little as we wanted. He was always very friendly & helpful.
The main living quarters contain the main floor kitchen (with sink, stove, oven, under-counter fridge, dishwasher & water cooler) and the living room, plus screened porch. It's really quite a space, which is never truly ever closed to the elements. The jalousie blinds can be closed on the south side (and we did have to do this during the storms, as water was coming in) but the screened porch is still windy. We ate on the porch every night. The prep kitchen on the lower level has a sink and 2 medium size refrigerators/freezers, which we filled easily. The up & down from the prep to the main level was sometimes awkward. And we could have used a few more pots and pans for our group of 7, but we managed.
On Regine's recommendation we rented a vehicle from Al, who couldn't have been nicer. When we plowed through some deep water on the road and the car died in our driveway, Al came and fixed it. When we got stuck backroading near Conch Cave, Al sent a van to pick us up. While probably frustrated, he treated us with professionalism and equanimity. Everyone we met was very friendly: Merrica at My Dees, the owner of Miss B's, and various others.
The beach outside the house is beautiful. We never saw a soul the whole 10 days (we did find footprints twice). We went swimming every day, noting the difference in the water at high and low tide. We snorkeled at the Three Marys, just up the beach, and walked along the rocks. We had a bonfire one night that was blissfully windy (no bugs!) and yet warm. Amazing cloud formations every day. We did have a power failure our last night, but that was fun. The provided cellphone came in very handy.
From the house it's a bit of a drive to anything. And the nearest roads are rough. We got groceries in Whitby or Bottle Creek. We explored Middle Caicos, where Mudjin Harbor is spectacular, but rough. Indian Cave was too buggy to enjoy at all. Conch Bar Cave is by guided tour only, which leaves much of it unseen. All the better for another trip to this magic spot!
