Turks and Caicos Islands · Joined July 2016

Originally from Yorkshire, England I quit my job in the bank in 2002 and ran away to become a mermaid ;-) I worked as a scuba diving instructor and boat captain for many years. I now work freelance on a private charter boat and at the puppy rescue here on island. I have 4 dogs, one of whom lives outside as she was a nervous stray dog who still wants nothing to do with me until feeding time. My other 3 dogs are always by my side when I'm home. I love to run and have done a few marathons, ultramarathons and multi day stage races.

Fun Facts About Me

I like to challenge myself and after taking up marathon running again in 2010 I then decided to start ultra running and also completed my first Ironman in May 2016. I care for the environment and like to encourage and educate people to reduce their use of plastic, especially single use. I actively do beach clean ups in the islands, a never ending problem.

Hobbies & Interests

Running, biking, swimming, yoga, paddle boarding, snorkeling, scuba diving,, photography and lots more

Neighborhood

Getting around the area

Local quiet neighbourhood in the west of the island away from the main tourist areas. There is no public transport here so a car rental is highly recommended. There is a new grocery store about a mile away for basics. Great area for running with very little traffic.

About This Space

A closer look at the stay

About

****Please read the description carefully so you understand where I am on the island. This is a great location away from the main tourist area and with access to more remote parts of the island. The nearest beach is about 5 minutes drive away**** *Please note, I do not use AC in my house for the majority of the year. There are ceiling and floor fans which I find more than adequate. Also opening the windows lets through a nice breeze. *No cooking of meat allowed in the house *No smoking in or around the property. If you are early risers then great, if not then please be advised that my dogs do get quite excited in a morning at feeding time and can be a little noisy ;-) Please note that from the 1st April 2016 smoking will be illegal in public areas in the islands :-) I live in the local Wheeland area of Providenciales, at the end of Blue Hills which is about 7-10 miles away from the "tourist area". A rental car is recommended or public transport is by "jitneys" which can sometimes be unreliable if in a hurry but will eventually get you to your destination for between $3-7 per ride. I work full time most days and am out of the house by about 7am returning at around 6-7pm. This room has twin beds joined together to make a king size and a shared bathroom. Kitchen and living area is shared. I have Wifi internet but no TV. There is a deck at the rear of the house with table, chairs and sun lounger. I sometimes rent out my other bedroom in which case you would be sharing the bathroom with another guest. Utilities are expensive here (as is everything else) so I have strict rules about not leaving the water running, turn lights and fans off when not needed etc....I don't use AC as I don't like it and can't afford it!! This is a dog friendly house....I have 3 adult dogs and actively foster puppies on behalf of Potcake Place, a local rescue organisation, so you have to like them...they are outside dogs when I'm not home but do have free range to come in and out of the house while I am home. I keep the house as clean as possible however some guests have commented on the smell of dog but really only in the main part of the house and not the bedrooms. Opening the windows while home can help but they have to be closed and locked when leaving the house empty due to security. I am not too far away from a beach, and although a great beach to walk my dogs it's nothing like the pristine beach in Grace Bay....also not a great beach for swimming....very shallow and lots of turtle grass. I am a non smoker and therefore no smoking is allowed in or around the house...no smoking allowed at all on the property..!!

The space

Other things to note

4 dogs live on the property, 3 inside with me and 1 stray dog outside who has lived rent free for 5 years and still wants nothing to do with me unless it's feeding time. Parking at the front of the property
