Stunning views of Dragon Cay on Middle Caicos with your own private pool!

Welcome to Whale Watch Villa on Middle Caicos!

Beautiful renovated 3 bedroom (and a twin bed loft), 2.5 bath privately owned home located next to the Dragon Cay Resort (formerly Blue Horizon Resort) but NOT affiliated with the resort.
Breathtaking ocean views from the expansive deck where you can sip your morning coffee and enjoy the sunrise, watch for whales during the high season and also amaze at the beautiful sunsets!
Take a dip into our private plunge pool (the only pool on all of Middle Caicos!)
Just a short 2 min walk to 2200 square feet of natural soft sandy beachfront. During low tide you can walk out to the Dragon Cay (water shoes recommended, as the rocks can be a little sharp and we highly discourage climbing the sharp rocks) or snorkel and spot the resident barracuda.
Middle Caicos is the largest of the 8 inhabited Turks and Caicos Islands, but the least developed and populated.
You will find tranquility, privacy and peacefulness, unlike that of so many other Caribbean islands. If you are looking for nightlife, this island is definitely not for you. If you are adventurous and enjoy the laidback feel of island life, than you have found your perfect retreat!
After your ferry ride over, grab your car rental (instructions to the property will be given beforehand and at the car rental). Once you arrive, our management will greet you at the villa where you will get an orientation and any questions you have will be addressed.
Mudjin Harbor Bar and Grill is open daily for lunch and sometimes for dinner and is walking distance from our villa.

Sandy Toes and Stunning Views: A Memorable Stay
Our stay at the beach cottage was simply magical! Despite a minor hiccup with the cottage not being cleaned when we first arrived, the on-island contact was fantastic—within 30 minutes, the charming and thorough cleaning lady had everything spotless. The cottage was cozy, with stunning views and a virtually private beach just a minute's walk away. The pool was perfect, and the kitchen had everything we needed. This is the type of vacation where you read, relax by the pool or at the beach, or explore other nearby beaches and the local Indian Caves. There aren’t any tourist attractions or activities, which is exactly what we wanted and needed to relax and recharge. A quick note: while small stores are on the island, food options are limited and pricey, so we recommend bringing some provisions from Providenciales. Our three kids had an absolute blast, and we didn’t want to leave!

The house is very secluded and out the way the local store is a good 20 minutes away. It’s a lot of stuff I wish I knew before hand like each person would require $65 ferry to get to the beach house. The ferry stops at 5 so there is no way to enjoy the main islands night life while staying at this home. 3 bedrooms but 1 is separate from the main house and has poor WiFi no tv and no shower. We were advised not to take long showers because water is limited. While on vacation after being on the beach sometimes a long shower is needed but we had to be mindful. Spot was very helpful. Cindy I felt like she was used to accommodating wealthy travelers because for all the money I spent I didn’t really feel welcomed or appreciated by her. The view and private pool were the best part. The house it self was nice just a lot of work overall. I would still give it a 10/10 just for the experience. Bambara beach was down the street a ways but worth the trip to see a totally different style of beautiful beach.

TCI Middle Caicos
Wonderful place to stay. House was nice and location spectacular. The rooms are not incredibly big nor private from each other (on the main floor) but the views are stunning. We would definitely come back. Best grocery selection was definitely Dard's (we stopped at every one of them to check them out) The pace of TCI is slow and North Caicos is even slower...which means Middle Caicos is incredibly slooooooooow. Even the stray dogs were lazy and easy going. Just wandering around and being nice but not nosey or annoying. So the take away is, if you need something, don't be in a hurry or get upset that it is not there right away. The towels were not ready when we arrived and so we air dried after the beach trip when we arrived. There was only one roll of toilet paper for the entire place...but towels and TP were there later that night. The property manager didn't make it by in the three days we were there to get the WiFi working. Just a different pace that needs to be expected. Not the end of the world for us...especially since we felt like we were close to the end of the world and somewhat checking off the grid! LOL No stores or gas stations or evening places to visit nearby...so stock up and enjoy being "out there". The owners were very responsive and very helpful and worked to get things fixed up. Very appreciative of their support and efforts.

Beautiful and peaceful. People of North and Middle are AALL FRIENDLY AND HELPFUL. A step back in time. Didn’t think we would use the pool much- we did. And it’s great. Wonder if 20 years from now, will North and Middle be the same? It’s special.

Views For Days!!!
We stayed at Whale Watch for 5 nights this May and enjoyed every minute. The house is lovely and well appointed. We especially loved the large porch where we could literally see all of Middle Caicos. Ocean breezes and endless sunshine filled our days and having a pool with a view of Mudjin Harbor was absolutely incredible. Short driving distance to Bambarra Beach, Seaview Cafe and the caves. Communication with the owner and house manager was terrific, check in/out was a breeze. We had everything we could need and will definitely be booking Whale Watch again in the future!

Beach, hiking and swimming - perfect location
We enjoyed the peaceful environment, amazing views and pool! We loved everything about our stay at Whale Watch - except for the mosquitos! However - along with all the typical amenities - there was both sunscreen and bug spray available in the house. If you are looking for a party environment, loud and crazy night clubs this is NOT the place for you. This is a family, chill environment and being greeted by the housekeeper and local property manager made us feel super comfortable. Would highly recommend.

Wonderful way to discover Middle Caicos
This property is a great way to get away from it all, yet it was close to an awesome bar/restaurant in Dragon Cay. There are a few homes nearby, but we seldom saw others. We rented a Jeep and had a great time traveling the area. The sailboat race festival was amazing with wonderful island food and music! A great experience.

Beautiful Location and Stunning Views
Whale Watch Villa was great for our family - the location is absolutely beautiful. The house set-up is great-kitchen is really well equipped and the pool area is really nice. Make sure you bring bug spray--we had lots of mosquitos and no-seeums the week we were there. We did find more insect repellent at the Texaco Gas station on North Caicos. The restaurant at Dragon Cay is a short walk from the house and the food is delicious-it is open for lunch and while we were there for dinner on Wednesday and Saturdays. We also ate at Sea View Cafe in Conch Bar--very yummy. Make sure you get ice cream at Parrotice on North Caicos-really cute place and good homemade ice cream. We brought some dry goods with us and purchased the rest of our groceries on North Caicos (Dards was well stocked). We cooked most dinners at the house. The beach at Dragon Cay is beautiful-we snorkeled at low tide and went out to the cay. We also went to Bambarra Beach twice and walked out to the cay there. The water was very calm at Bambarra Beach and it is a short drive from Dragon Cay. Whale Watch Villa was beautiful and a great place for a family vacation.

Met All Expectations
My wife and I were looking for a getaway to celebrate our 35th wedding anniversary. We were looking for a place to go and not have to put up with crowds and just be able to relax. The Whale Watch met those expectations. Very secluded, I think one night is was only the two of us and another home that looks like they live there year round within 10 miles of us. The only things we thought of that would improve the stay would be a first aid kit on site (one of us got a cut and we did find a couple of Band-Aids but that was it) and instructions on emergency care (one of us on the last night of our stay could have potentially had to go to ER), We were very thankful for the pool as the beaches were seaweed lined. I think this is happening in many places across the Caribbean. We did end up going to Bambarra Beach one day and it beautiful.. We will definitely be back.

My FAVORITE Vrbo Eva'!
Our goal was to experience something roomie (there were 6 of us), quiet, secluded and with a short walk to a beautiful beach. Nailed it!! The beach is visible and audible from the house - breathtaking view of it from the windows and porch - and from the pool. I pretended to be shipwrecked there and hoped for NO ONE to rescue me. Honestly, it was a perfect vacay for my family escaping big city life. We did see a few other people.. at the nearby restaurant (visible from the property - grateful for it's easy access) and visitors that probably traveled by fairy for a day trip to explore that same gorgeous beach - can't blame them, it's the most phenomenal scenery! All visitors seem to disappear at the same time each day though, probably because they had to catch the scheduled boats back to their own vacation spots. When they disappeared, we had a completely isolated vibe again - I loved that! Oh, and we explored Indian Caves (minutes away on foot) all alone - whoa, that was so surreal! The beach house is way cool! I love the sliding barn doors to two of the bedrooms - modern touch. The outdoor shower is a brilliant addition too - the stars at night from that warm shower just before bed was majestic. And there is seating evvvvverrrywhere - you have many options to cozy up with a book, nap, or catch up with people you love. We played board games at night in the living room - tons of room for the 6 of us to spread out. It was everything I needed in a family vacay and more! I send the owners LOVE for their generosity to rent out their extraordinary home away from home. THANK YOU!!!! -XO

Perfectly secluded private vacation
We loved the experience! The home is comfortable - everything we needed to make meals was provided. The pool was a fantastic way to cool off. Views are out of this world!!! Nearby beaches we had to ourselves every morning and evening. One thing to know that we learned the hard way is to check the ferry times before you book your dates. Our flight landed at 3:30 and the last ferry is at four. We were stranded in Provo for the night even though we paid for the night at Conch Bar.

Perfect Weekend Getaway!
Wanna getaway?! Wanna disconnect from the hustle and bustle of everyday life?! This location is spectacular! The house exceeded my expectations and has everything you need and very well kept! The views are gorgeous and the beach area is very relaxing. It is a short walk to the beach and has 2 really cool cave-like areas, especially the area that you have to take some stairs that go into the ground (don’t be afraid, it’s awesome!). I highly recommend anyone visiting Middle Caicos to rent a car so you have the opportunity to explore the surrounding area. Getting to Middle Caicos was very enjoyable and will leave you in awe because of the beautiful turquoise water. Do not hesitate to book this location….you will not regret it!

Amazing location
This house is located in a dream location! Just for that it’s worth every cent. Finding the house was easy. The pool was really nice to have. The kitchen has everything you need for cooking. The house is very clean, the water is filtered and soft. There’s a pair Nikon binocular that is fabulous to watch birds with and in season, I hear to watch whales, unfortunately we were not there in season. The beds are comfortable the sheets & bedding clean & soft. A few Cons: the showers! Only One was usable. The other indoor one sort of drips some water not enough for an actual shower, and the one that’s outside is fun during the day but not for a night shower since there’s no lights and too many mosquitoes! The house manager is available and helpful so a few other issues were resolved once contacting him. Wifi worked excellent. The lights are quite dim and scarce in the house so reading a book at night is problematic if you don’t want to sit at the kitchen table. The lock on the front door was too rusty to use and we were afraid we wouldn’t be able to unlock it once we got back so just hid our passports and any other valuables and didn’t use the key (there is a safe but it’s a box in a closet so if anyone did come in they could just take it with them). There are barely any people in the area so it’s absolutely safe as far as we can tell so this wasn’t much of a worry for us. The owner is not very communicative so before arriving figure out what you need on this island from other sources. All in all, this was a fabulous place to spend 5 days.
