The Wilsons. Canada. November, 2006
This is a beautiful place to be with family and friends. The weather with a constant cool breeze caressing you as you gaze out at the dark blue and turquoise striped water framed by white caps that break three quarters of mile away. I will be 92 in a few days and enjoyed my time with my granddaughter
Edith. November, 2006
I write this on our wedding day while everyone is enjoying themselves on the patio of the Sanddune Beach House overlooking the turquoise waters. Our stay here has been nothing short of phenomenal. The villa is wonderful. We had 16 family and friends here. Our house keeper Marsha has been fantastic-always smiling and very efficient. Doing yoga on the deck each morning overlooking the ocean, walking down to the beach straight up out of bed, huge feasts that we prepared on our deck and patio using all the pots and pans and dishes that have been provide to us. Checking emails and sharing pictures on line through the wireless internet provided here from Aquamarine Beach Houses. Dancing in the sand was a daily activity for us. Truly our own piece of paradise! So back to the wedding… I don’t think it would of ever been as successful and effortless as it was without Paula. Everyone all went over and beyond any expectation we may have had for them helping us. Paula was especially a godsent – like the proverbial Aladdin’s lamp if you will. She had all the things we could have needed for our wedding, tables, canopies, chairs, speakers, water, propane, bbqs etc. I honestly do not know how she does all that she does! Not only all of that but she was able to refer for cakes, music, catering and you name it. We must of shot back and forth at least 20 emails – she was always prompt, always kind. She is someone special! She’s become a friend and we will no doubt stay in touch and visit here again. The hardest part was getting our guests to move out. After staying here for a week they wouldn’t leave and they all ended up staying for a 2nd week! Paula, John, Marsha and Kendal- a bazillion thank yous. You guys rock the house. We will never forget you guys and already planning our 5th anniversary here! Wahooo!!! Lots of love and peace.
Sara and Marcus. Santa Monica, CA. November, 2006
This is our 2nd visit to Aquamarine Beach Houses to John and Paula’s in the Turks and Caicos. It has been as enjoyable as out 1st visit. We were so excited to receive the free upgrade to the balcony level. As always, the comfort of the homes, the views and the breezes could not be compared to a condo or hotel stay. We look forward to our return with a group of friends next time and to see the constant changes here at the compound.
The Johnsons. PA, USA. November, 2006
Yet another stay at Aquamarine Beach Houses - Great as usual! See everyone soon.

Bryan. Playback, Raleigh, NC. Sept, 2006
This is our 2nd stay with John and Paula. This stay was as enjoyable as our 1st time. We were excited about our free upgrade. As always the comfort of the homes allowed us to enjoy the vacation even more than if we were to stay in a hotel. We look forward to our 3rd visit and to see the changes to Provo.
Meredith and Larry J. PA. Sept, 2006
Wonderful vacation!! Paula, John & Co. Thanks for everything: fantastic hospitality, beautiful house, amazing beach, and snorkeling, perfect timing for the housekeeping etc. etc. These two weeks staying here were something we’ll not forget. We needed a place like this to re- charge our batteries. We visited the island we think we could not have chosen a better place to stay. Let us know when you think you will visit Italy…we would love to have you as our guests. Thanks again.

Arturo Cabrera. Caracas, Venezuela. August, 2006
This is our 4th visit to Provo and our 2nd here at Aquamarine Beach houses. We have come back again within 7 months of being here from our last visit. It is a miracle and it speaks to our feeling of this place loud and clear. To be able to stay in a beach front home so far away from home with such great folks is a true blessing. We have snorkeled everyday with our favorite turtles and we have seen so many kinds of fish as well as rays. The beauty of this place mixed with the generosity of our hosts have made this a perfect vacation for us. Thank you so much
Paula, John and Marsha. Stacey M. , 2006
We had a great week in the green house by the ocean. It was our first trip for our family to Turks and Caicos. We will be back next year for sure. Many thanks to Marsha for the great service and to Paula for all the referrals for services.
The Goodwin family, N. Richland Hills, Texas, Aug/06
The island and house were even better than described. Can’t wait to come back again.
Matt. P., Batesburg, Leesville, SC,USA, Aug/06
More than a dream vacation, this is like a dream home away from home! Do eat at the Tiki Hut and Shark Bite. If you are not a diver at least get some fins and masks and snorkel. The underwater world is steps from your deck. We saw turtles, rays, nurse sharks, eel, and lobster….too much more to mention… Thanks Paula, John and Marsha for the hospitality and thank you.
Fred and Amy for sharing! Joe & Catherine P., Batesburg, Leesville, S.C., Aug/06
Dear John and Paula, Thank you again for another great time as usual. Everything was perfect. The only problem is we have to leave and go home. See you soon.
Juliane, John, Mary and Alli W., Tecumesh, Ontario, Canada. Jul/Aug/06
Dear Paula and John, This was out first beach house vacation…And we will be doing this again! This is Paradise plus during our stay diving was better than we though it could be. This was a last minute vacation for us thanks to our friends John and Mary who had suggested that we come for a get-a-way. It is hard to leave your home but we must go now to make more money to come back again. Thank you so much.
Tom & Yveline B., Tecumesh, Ontario, Canada, Aug/06

Kevin, Amy, Keeley O’B., Iwakuni, Japan, Jul/06
Our family has a wonderful time in the Sanddune Balcony @ Aquamarine Beach Houses. The snorkeling was amazing…just steps from our front door. We say rays, turtles, sharks (nurse), and hundreds of beautiful fish. We were even able to see a turtle and a ray while standing on the beach! The water is so so clear and gorgeous. We enjoyed being able to walk to snuba dive and also to great restaurants. Kris and Scott enjoyed checking out the night life on island. Ryan and Jake ( the little ones) jumping the waves and played in the sand. Bob loved the air conditioning and the internet. A little something for everyone. Thank you for your hospitality rides when we couldn’t get a taxi. We all had a wonderful time and hope to make it back soon!
Turpins, Charlotte, NC, and Dillons, Phoenix, AZ, Jul/06
Paula and John, Thank you so much for your kindness and generosity. You came to our rescue when a years planning for this holiday hit the fan (we were original booked at another location on island). We could not have found a better place to stay on Provo. Thank you! The Seabreeze Balcony was just perfect for our family. What a beautiful place you have. The views don’t get any better than this. The reef at your steps is the the best on island! Believe me we searched out each and every spot! Aquamarine Beach Houses offers such a personal, quiet, peaceful touch. I can’t attest to relaxing because we were always on the go! We loved covering every inch of the island and put 800 miles on our rent a car. The water can’t get any bluer. Marsha was amazing and always a step ahead of me. Thank you! Thank You! Words can not express our gratitude. You provided us with amazing accommodations. May God Bless you and your family and your lives here, this is truly a piece of heaven on earth. Paula and John…please take time to enjoy what you have here will you…go snorkeling…go to the beach! Take care, we will remember fondly!
Frank, Kyle, Kelsey, Cameron ad Micah F., New York, Jul/06
A most delightful interlude made even more pleasant by the warmth and generosity of our host and hostess. Everything we love and enjoy was at fingertips reach. (Tennis, Volley Ball, Pool, Beach, Sunshine etc…) We hope to make this a regular ritual if at all possible.

The Budin-Datta’s, Palo Alto, California, Jul/06
Dear Paula and John, Yet again we come to Paradise and always have to leave once again… In this Island of change your property and service remain constant. Five years now we have enjoyed your welcoming hospitality and beauty space here on Provo. Don’t Change!! As the giant buildings and resorts appear on the Beach here your truly represent what is best about visiting paradise – real people, quiet beach great snorkeling – I feel sorry for those people waiting in line for the next buffet as we sit on our front porch quietly watching the sunset. Their Loss our Gain. Thank you so much for allowing us once again to enjoy your piece of paradise, the only problem is that we don’t know how to stop this addiction to come here….We could have worst problems….. Peace & Love – Lots of Love.

Paula and John, What a wonderful place for a wedding!!! We’ve all had a marvelous time. Hope to see you next year. Being English it’s entirely out of character to be over the top with praise….A quiet thank you for a lovely holiday in your beautiful homes would signify how spectacular a time we had! On this occasion though I feel compelled to act in a more direct and effusive manner…..! Your houses are spectacularly beautiful; we have had an experience here that we will never forget as one of our favorite people in the world was married here on your beach and your property! How could we forget!!! It is our dream to return again! We feel amazingly jealous of the people who live here as we pack up our things to head off to the airport. They are lucky to be just at the being of a wonderful time in such a relaxed place. Thank you!
What a great place! We have enjoyed it to the fullest. Thank you so much for putting up with us all! I will be back with my family some day I hope!
We had a beautiful time at your beautiful homes and property!
Lovely Place for a lovely day! Jonathon and Lucy picked well – For each other and for the accommodations!

John and Paula, well I told you 2 years ago we would be back and here we are! The Sanddune Beach House is such a beautiful place to stay. Once again you have let us share in your paradise! And we thank you very much for that! Adionna was so happy we were coming back and we were excited to bring our new addition, Pasquale to meet you! He is still young so this is the only place I would consider coming to on a vacation. We feel so at home here … it’s just more beautiful here! Thanking for everything especially letting Pat try out with the Volunteer fire fighters, you for-filled a dream of his. We have so many memories that will stay with us a lifetime. Marsha was wonderful as usual. At the end of everyday Adrianna would make sure to bring half the beach in the house on her feet and every morning Marsha would return it to the beach. She was so kind to Adrianna and Pasquale. Thank you for your hospitality and we will be back again within 2 years if not sooner. We love your houses and the Turks and Caicos Islands. Love from...

Paula and John, We have thoroughly enjoyed another visit to Aquamarine Beach Houses! Our stay this year was in the Seabreeze Balcony! Hope you guys are getting settled in your new unit (also on property). Although we enjoy visiting other places in the world our ideal vacation is a week here in any of your units at Aquamarine Beach Houses. We know that must sound corny but it is simply so peaceful, restful, rejuvenating, welcoming, and friendly…just everything we needed! You and John have such a friendly way about you…we feel so comfortable here – Marsha is super as well! I think an earlier entry summed it up perfectly “helpful!” Accommodating but never Obtrusive! Thank you so Much…Kindly.,

Dear Paula and John, This trip has been Amazing! I’ll never forget the wonderful time we have on your beautiful piece of Paradise. I went snorkeling with our good friend Shawn Dean @ J & B Tours at the Great barrier reef we (Samantha, Cassie & Lexi) saw JO JO The happy Dolphin for the first time, it was awesome sight! We saw a baby barracuda, nurse sharks. All the creatures were amazing. The kite fest in the children’s park was fun and had great music. Our private beach here at Aquamarine Beach Houses never looses it beauty. We went horse back riding with Caicos Corral twice in my eleven days here.
“Flying to Turks and Caicos Lots of Money…Riding horse on the beach Priceless.”
The house is beautiful and I hope everyone enjoys the VOLLEY BALL COURT we built while we were here!! Thank you for another great time! Love
Lara A., Skokie ILL, Apr/06
Dear Paula and John, I though This year was the BEST year out of our 3 years coming to Aquamarine Beach Houses. This year the first day we arrived we went on a boat trip with Sean Dean. Again on Wednesday we went on another boat trip with Sean and his friends. We went on a sunset cruise and then had a beach party with Sean and his friends. P.s. Thank you for letting us stay at AQUAMARINE BEACH HOUSES we have to leave on Sunday …We will be back for Easter Dinner at the Pool next year. Love.
Erik C., Lawrenceville, NJ., Apr/06

You guys have the greatest place in the whole wide world and you hospitality is unmatchable! I just love you guys!! This year has been the best yet! We met again our great friends and even more things to do. We saw JO JO for the first time and had an experience I will never forget. I also took my place in the saddle and had one of my best horse back riding experiences with Caicos Corral. Just the though of leaving this island, it’s beautiful beaches, it’s beautiful people and my best friends makes me choke up and want to cry. I am already looking forward to coming back next year! I will mss you very much! Love.

Dear Paula and John, this vacation celebrates the 40th wedding anniversary of my sister and brother-in-law. We booked this vacation a year ago and have thought about it daily through snow and sleet on the east cost and floods and rain on the west coast. Aquamarine Beach Houses has exceeded out expectations. T & C puts it altogether with your beautiful accommodations and hospitality is just the icing on the cake. It’s been truly a dream vacation! We can’t wait to return to your properties and your personal care!
Betsy & Dick W., Lafayette CA and Joe & Beve H., Portland CT., Apr/06
Dear Paula and John, Thank you so much for sharing your paradise! This is an amazing part of the world and you are so great to share it with us and all your lucky guests. I think it is fair to day that the Sanddune Beach House (8 bedrooms) gave us lots of space with 6 kids. Everyone had and awesome trip. We snorkeled, Kayaked, fished, walked on the beach and had great fun together. The views and the full moon were an extra treat. We hope we can come back next year! Marsha was great!

Paula and John, Thank you for Sharing your Paradise with us. Rachel and Joshua loved seeing a family of flounder, sea slugs and puffer fish. Lachary loved making creations in the sand when he wasn’t collecting the sea shells. Grandma loved the pace and the perfect weather and glorious breeze. Leaving is very difficult. Until we return we thank you for making our stay so enjoyable and eventful.
Joshua, Lacharg, S., and Rachel and Janet R., Wellesley, MA, Apr/06
Paula and John, what a perfect location! We felt like we owned the entire beach to ourselves. The kids loved to play in the sand both at the beach and in front of our unit. We had much fun kayaking also. We saw a spotted string ray in front of the house but didn’t get to see the turtles. Marsha was great and you were very helpful and accommodating. Thank you for letting us enjoy your piece of paradise.

Dear Paula and John, for us this was our first trip to Provo and we feel very lucky that we have found your piece of paradise. We can’t imagine staying anywhere else! How can anyone top these views, the peacefulness, all your place here has to offer ….and still be close enough to everything you need and want? We enjoyed our meals at the Shark Bite, Hemmingways, Baci and Aqua. The guys loved their daily diving excursions with Caicos Adventures. Thank you for everything…
Mike and Laura & Katie, SC., Mar/06
Paula and John, Thank you so much for your hospitality on our vacation. Your location is unbeatable! You have everything anyone could ever want or need here. The kids got a chance to see a nurse Shark, this was a fabulously experience for the kids. They have seen things that 98% of kids their age have never see or may never see in their life time during our stay with you! Eagle rays, nurse sharks, octopus, lobster, and ton and tons of fish and coral. The best part was we did not have to go anywhere else …just outside our door. Thank you to Marsha for all her work. We had a wonderful week and don’t want to go home. Thank you for sharing your paradise with others.
Scott, Aimee, Nicky and Ryan G., Oklahoma City, OK., Mar/06
When we first talked about a family vacation, I wondered how much of a vacation it would really be with a three month old baby and a five month old. What a fantastic surprise it was to find how easy it was staying here at Aquamarine Beach Houses! Your setup is ideal for vacating with children (and without of course!) and made this one of our most relaxing and enjoyable trips I’ve ever taken. Marsha was fantastic, very nice and kind, very attentive without being intrusive. We were made to feel as though this was our home away from home! “Paradise Indeed!” Thank you so much for a wonderful time.
Jennifer, Jonathan, and Dominic C., Ashland, MA., and Alycia, Mike, Travis M., Hopkinton MA., Mar/06
Had a wonderful week, the location and the view is spectacular. All the extras made the vacation relaxing and comfortable with 2 babies. Looking forward to our next return.

Thanks to everyone involved here! Like we told you Paula the only disappointment was that we didn’t find Aquamarine Beach Houses years ago when we started coming to Provo! Keep up the great work. See you next year if not sooner.
Jeb and Ceal S., New Canaan, Conn. Mar/06

Dear Paula and John, Tim and I very much enjoyed our Second year at Aquamarine Beach Houses. It was wonderful to spend time in paradise and relax and forget the everyday stress and the cold gloomy winters back home. I keep a picture of the houses and the views of the Ocean on my desk at work and tell everyone it is my home away from home in the islands. Marsha did a wonderful job as usual. We will miss you all. Hope to see you again soon!
Tim & Kate L., Berrien Springs, Michigan, Mar/06

Dear Paula and John, We could echo so many of the comments already in this book, however I doubt that any of your other guests could match the number of times that we have enjoyed your wonderful facilities here at Aquamarine Beach houses! You have been so accommodating to always fit the dates we desire. We always enjoy the snorkeling and this year was no exception. My laps in the pool each day did much for my mental health and I’m almost ready to face the daily routine that awaits my arrival back home. Dinner at your house was wonderful, the food the conversation and the added entertainment from Miss Vickie added to our enjoyment. We must not forget to mention Marsha, her attention and care to detail must be noted. So….here’s to another return trip next year, Lord willing It will be #15 to your houses. Jerry will sure miss his 2 hour naps in the afternoon. Regards from your friends.
Jerry and Sandi H., Wautoma, Wisconsin, Feb/Mar/06
John and Paula, Well I finally get here and might I add it is more beautiful than I could of ever imagined. Thank you so much for your hospitality. I have had such an awesome week.

Paula, John, Marsha and Miss Vickie too! Our second trip to your Paradise. Thank you for the tip on Mango reef restaurant, it was great, the kids enjoyed swimming while the adults enjoyed dining. It wouldn’t be a trip to Provo with a visit to the Conch Shack! We made a trip to Malcolm beach and it was worth it. Thank you again for your hospitality and thank you Marsha a job well done! Hope to see you next year. Thank you.
Kim, Stephen, Andrew, Stephanie P., Medford., MA, Feb/06
Dear Paula and John and Marsha, This is our 2nd trip to your beach houses and hopefully not our last. Your homes are so clean and so well equipped and the location can not be beat! Fun was had by all, Our girls 11 and 13 went horseback riding and loved it. We rented a boat from Silver Deep (the office staff was difficult but the captain was awesome!) They even stopped and picked us up here at the houses (beach!) and took me and baby (20 mths old) for a short excursion also! Today is our last day and we must go back and face reality … all good things must come to an end! Many thanks hope to see you next year.

Alice and Ab V., Ontario, Canada, Feb/06
This was our first time to paradise and were lucky enough to stay at Aquamarine Beach Houses. Your hospitality was perfect, as was the weather, the food., ocean , the sun and the sand. What a great location. I think we walked in every direction we could possible. But of course all waves lead to the beach, all beaches lead to food and all food lead to drinks and all of this lead to a great time had by all! Everynight was ended by a great game of bridge I may of even learned something. Again thank you for having us at your piece of Paradise. May your hearts never be broken.
Tom, Ontario, Canada, Feb/06

Dear Paula and John and Marsha, We feel It a privilege to write in this book after our stay in your homes. Our 5 days here feels like 2 weeks. You see, our family took care of our Mom thru her battle of cancer; it has been 3 mths since we lost her I was able to get past the 3 mth marker while we were here in your Paradise. Thank you for making this home for us. We enjoy the windy days and the sunny days. We snorkel every day! The horseback riding on the beach was spectacular,. I believe Luke found a new hobby. We will have to start a horse farm in VA. We visited most of the little shops on island it was a real learning experience driving on the Left had side. Thank you for providing the setting we so much needed to rest and re-bond with our family. Paula, please make time to enjoy your beach…SOON. God Bless you!
Luke, Stacey, Richard and Jackie M., Alexandra VA, Jan/06

You give your guests plenty of privacy, yet you are readily available to meet their needs. Your property is beautifully landscaped and immaculately maintained.

Your knowledge of the island was so appreciated. Thank you so much.

Dear Paula, Thank you so much for a great week. We have fallen in love with T & C/ The snorkeling was great and the beach just perfect. Marsha and her daughters were extremely kind and helpful with our children. Charlie also so kind as well. It has been so amazing to watch our boys (ages 3 ½ , 13 mths, 11 mths) enjoy themselves at the beach and to be so comfortable in there surroundings. We will never forget this trip.
